WELCOME TO THE ATELIER
For current participants please click on the Black Button Above to enter the ATELIER.
Currently we are closed for admission.
Our next Atelier 02 is scheduled for JULY 2026
See more information below.
​
The ATELIER Workshops are designed to help you build a sewing practice that grows with you — not one you outgrow.
THE ATELIER WORKSHOP
This is about being devoted to embracing the arc of your creative practice in garment making.
I believe that sewing, when practiced with curiosity, patience, and attention, becomes more than a craft. It becomes a companion to your lifestyle. Whether you sew for yourself or wish to turn your garment-making into a business.
​
This workshop is not intended to instruct skills you already have, nor is it to accelerate or speed your practice. It is designed to ground and accompany you — stretch your creative curiosity by building a designer mindset. See through the foundations and how we can manipulate them into our own creative perspective and signature.
Building a quiet confidence in developing your own studio practice.
​
And may the garments you create hold the memory of the life you are living now.
With respect for the makers who came before us, and those who will follow,
Tina
WHO IS THIS FOR: This workshop is for thoughtful sewists who want to understand, not rush.
It is not designed for those looking for quick results or trend-based projects.
Here you will create blocks/slopers as a foundation to design your own clothes.
Fresh Fashion Designers welcome.
​
We serve the modern home garment maker who is no longer satisfied with following patterns, but is ready to understand clothing, adapt designs, and build a personal wardrobe rooted in creativity, fit, and self-expression.
COURSE CONTENT
​
CHAPTER I — ENTERING THE ATELIER
Claiming a Personal Way of Working
Purpose of this chapter
To shift you from maker to practitioner with authorship.
This chapter establishes that the atelier is not about improvement, productivity, or output — it is about how YOU show up.
Embracing a slow and sustained creative studio for yourself.
Learning to read, to adapt, and trust your design instincts.
​
The foundation of Pattern Design.
We take a deeper look into pattern design. Factors include measurements, crafting a perfect block, and have an understanding of what happens next.
