"I now feel like I can tackle any project I put my mind to!"

I bought a sewing machine with money from my birthday last year and hadn't touched it! I thought it was about time I learnt to use it properly. Stitch Playbook has been absolutely brilliant. I honestly thought sewing my own clothes would be really hard, complicated and just impossible for me. Stitch Playbook has proved me wrong! I now feel like I can tackle any project I put my mind to! It is well worth investing in this course. I know every course testimonial says that, but I truly mean it!
sound familiar?
You have the itch to create - to sew your own clothes. 
Maybe you tried to sew using a pattern but you got frustrated when the zipper didn’t turn out right and gave up. Or maybe you used to sew but it's been years and you're not sure where to start again.

the problem
That creativity inside of you isn’t giving up without a fight, is it?
When you find yourself with extra time on your hands...
...You Scroll Instagram And Wish You Could Make Something Like The Sewing Bloggers You Follow.
You’ve watched countless YouTube videos...
...and You’re Inspired But You Still Feel Like A Creative Outsider.
You’ve asked a few questions...
...But You Still Don’t Even Know What Tools To Buy Or What Fabric To Choose For Your First Project.
you think about learning how to use your machine...
...Because even when making a mask, your sewing machine Never Seems To Work Right!
BUT I'VE DISCOVERED
Despite the doubt that says, “why even try?” your creativity is ALWAYS the stronger, louder, more persistent voice. 
That’s how creativity works - it demands to be expressed. Your creative voice gets louder and louder until you finally listen - and give it an outlet. 

I know because I was once a 6 year old little girl BEGGING my mom to pleeeaasssse let me sew.
I'm Christine
With an aversion to fast fashion and throw-away trendy clothes, I’ve learned to express my creativity making designer quality garments that have a solid place in my wardrobe.
I worked for 15 years in LA and NYC in the luxury fashion industry (think: Devil Wears Prada circumstances)...and traveled to Paris, London, and Milan... all while wearing the clothes I made myself.
But it wasn’t always that way.
As a kid, I used to study Vogue magazine and recreate the styles I wanted but didn't have access to in my small Pacific Northwest hometown. 

I made some doozy’s along the way and the kids at school were quick to tease my home-made styles.

So I became obsessed with making my creations so professional that no one would know I made them! 

I made swimsuits, jeans, smocked christening gowns, fully lined suits, dresses, and pretty much anything I could dream up.

Now I get to spend my precious sewing time and money making garments that express my creativity, fit my body comfortably, and that I’ll have in my wardrobe forever. 

just imagine
Posting your new make on your Instagram and typing, “Thanks, I actually made it” in response to all the comments.
Selecting a gorgeous fabric and pattern to make an outfit that could sell in a Nolita boutique (NYC, girl!!)

"The confidence and knowledge to create my own capsule wardobe."

Stitch Playbook is a wonderful way to start your sewing journey. Being shown the way by Christine with the simple to understand, clear videos, little tips and tricks to help you on your way and all organised into modules. I enjoyed this modern look at sewing from Christine who has a fashion industry background. This course has inspired me to make my own clothes from pattern selection to fabric choices giving me the confidence and knowledge to create my own capsule wardrobe. Being able to have both videos to learn from and binder notes to refer to when sewing is the best of both worlds.

you asked
Ask away, I'm here to help.
I barely know how to use my sewing machine. Is this course too advanced for me?
Stitch Playbook is 100% for you! I designed the curriculum to be for the beginner aspiring sewist. I'm taking you through how to thread your machine, troubleshoot your tension, presser feet and maintenance. Then, I cover how to read a pattern, choose the right size and how to choose the right fabric for an expensive, non-homemade look. As well as laying out your fabric and cutting and working with PDF printable patterns. Module 3 covers the actual sewing technique like darts, basic seams onwards to zippers and buttonholes. No experience necessary!
My kid/teen is really interested in sewing and fashion. Would this course work for him/her?
I could write a book about how much sewing has positively influenced my life as a kid starting when I was 6. This course would make a great introduction to a beginning sewist, no matter the age. The videos are very clear, easy to understand, and positive and I teach from a fashion angle, which is a bit more of a modern approach. I can also guarantee that I don't use any swear words in my course (even when ripping out seams! haha).
How much time will i have to go through the course? Will the videos expire?
You'll have unlimited access to the course videos and content in the members area for the life of the course so you can take as much time as you need - and refer back to the lessons when you need to refresh. I do recommend printing out the Binder Notes and have them spiral bound to have on hand for your everyday sewing in addition to the videos. 
I don't have a sewing machine...will this still work for me?
Yes! In fact, in Module Two I cover my tips for buying a new (or used) sewing machine so you'll have the support you need to find a sewing machine you love. Module One covers Fabric and Patterns, which are a great foundation that you can get started on right away without a machine. You should plan to buy - or borrow - a machine soon after beginning, though, because I'm pretty sure you'll be inspired to sew :-)

ANDRA SFETCU

"Having all the pieces in one place makes a huge difference."

I started sewing about two years ago, but never learned from a professional, only by myself. As much as it is fun, it's very frustrating to learn how to sew by yourself.  Christine pays a lot of attention to details in her videos without making them too long or redundant. Having all the pieces of knowledge in one place makes a huge difference. It's very easy and comforting to follow the same style of teaching when learning so many things about sewing. I'm very glad I purchased Stitch Playbook and I polished my techniques and finally found the answer to some of the questions that have been bugging me for a long time. It doesn't happen often that you buy an online course that is actually helpful! A course that has substance and is taught by an expert who also has incredible social skills.
Kathleen Donohue

"Christine teaches how to sew with a designer's eye."

Christine teaches the basics of sewing very well, but what sets her course apart is she teaches how to sew with a designer’s eye and how to select your materials to make the best quality garment right from the beginning. This is basics to next-level sewing and perfect for someone who’s looking to sew clothing for every occasion that reflects their style.

"I purchased Stitch Playbook to refresh my sewing skills."
