SYCHIL
MAGAZINE

SYCHIL MAGAZINE is our online publication filled with inspiration, designer profiles, sewing patterns, and creative remakes pulled from our extensive pattern library at www.sewtinagivens.com.
I sew, design, and create. My work lives in a niche of elegant, comfortable, and sometimes delightfully quirky garments. I’m also a textile designer for both apparel and quilting, and I run a ready-to-wear brand available at www.tinagivens.com.
I am endlessly inspired by the act of making—by the feeling that something beautiful and meaningful can come from simple materials and our own two hands.
I see every design as an opportunity to break through the ordinary. We are all extraordinary; we each have a signature, a voice.
Sewing is a magical craft, and every stitch is a small journey. I love to share my relaxed, intuitive approach so you can enjoy the process as much as the result.
My goal is to offer a fresh perspective—through design, styling, and the art of combining garments to create a look that is effortless, expressive, and uniquely yours. Whether you are a career woman, retired and relaxed, a bohemian goddess, or simply ready for a new personal style, you’re in the right place.
I love life, art, people, cultures, and the beauty of our shared world. I cherish my family and circle of friends who bring joy to my days.
Here, I dig deep. I share workshops, patterns, ideas, and inspiration to help you dress with intention and embrace your truest self.
This is a space to harness your creativity, celebrate your individuality, and live joyfully within a gorgeous, supportive community.
With love,
tg
