Hi I’m Leigh! 👋
I know how hard it can be to get started! It took me ages to dive into sewing clothes. It just seemed so intimidating–from how to read a sewing pattern, to choosing the right fabrics, to getting the right fit. Sound familiar?

It's time to make YOUR OWN clothes. If you think I can't learn how to sew clothes online I am here to tell you YES YOU CAN! I often take classes online and the videos from Topstitch are great--cameras from different angles and great explanations during sessions. - Adrianna D

I love the essential shirt because I can sew it quickly and it has such nice finishing. It’s perfect as-is but also very customizable! I have painted it, cut into the pattern to color-block it, and I’ve added fun ruffle sleeves. I’ve also lengthened it to a dress and added square patch pockets. It’s a great beginner pattern but even sewing experts will be able to use it as a staple wardrobe pattern! -Katie K
