Making clothes is a meditation.
A meditation on your curves, your comfort and your creativity. Clothes that leave you feeling powerful, sexy, free…
Creating for yourself is such a gift, an act of self care.
Hi, I'm Lottie.
Pattern cutter, block maker and fitting specialist.
I am a crusader for reclaiming your body with clothes that actually fit through industry standard pattern cutting and slowed down sewing sessions.
I believe that sewing a handmade wardrobe allows us space to reconnect with our beautiful bodies and develop skills to pass onto future generations. I am passionate about supporting sewists to fan the flames of their creative inner fire. Making clothes that actually fit is a deeply healing process. We can all speak to the pain of wearing standard size clothing. We blame ourselves for being the wrong size or shape. I am here to tell you, but more importantly show you, how this simply isn’t true.

MASTERCLASS: Completey Custom Sewing Queen
My 3-Part Signature Process to learn pattern cutting, master fitting and empower you to sew a handmade wardrobe.
(Without the stress or frustration).
By up-leveling their sewing skills and gaining confidence, my students find that making clothes gets easier, more productive and less time-consuming than ever before.
"That moment when a garment fits her shape perfectly is an emotional one."
Testimonials
“Lottie is a fab teacher - calm, considered and so knowledgeable.
Would really recommend this to anyone who’s fed up with trying to fit from patterns that are designed for ‘off the peg’ bodies and feeling disillusioned with all the time and energy it can take.”
Sally
"She exudes calm, even over the internet, and shows how fitting is just a process, a series of simple adjustments with no names or labels attached to them, one step at a time. The classes were an opportunity each week to slow down and focus. The 1:1 sessions were an opportunity to explore personal fitting issues (body) and “gremlins” (mind). I now have a library of tutorials via the facebook group I can refer to when needed and the monthly mindful sewing sessions to remind me to enjoy the process.”
Tracy
“Lottie explained everything in easy to understand terms and it was way less scary than the books made it seem. I feel it was a great time in my sewing journey to learn to fit before I made any more unsuccessful garments.
If only I knew how simple it was before starting.”
