Starting Thursday 14th May at 6.30pm U.K. timebasting stitch sessions
A basting stitch holds everything in place while you figure out the real thing. That's what these sessions are for.
Figure your stuff out. Together.
For repair artists and sewists who've got the skills but need help with all the other stuff.
I wish I had this earlier in my career.
Honestly, that's why I built it. I know what it's like to have the skills, to love what you do, but to have absolutely no bloody clue how to turn it into something that actually pays you and fits around your real life. I spent years muddling through that stuff on my own and it would have been so much easier if someone had just said "here, let me help you figure it out."
So that's what this is. The thing I wish someone had offered me when I was starting out.
So what is it?
The Basting Stitch Sessions are a six-week group programme for repair artists, sewists, and textile creatives who've got the skills but need a hand with all the other stuff.
A basting stitch holds everything in place while you figure out the real thing. That's exactly what we're doing here.
Five live sessions on Thursday evenings at 6.30pm UK time, on Google Meet.
Just 8 people.
Each week builds on the last, there's homework between sessions to keep things moving, and there's an accountability space where you can check in with each other and with me throughout the week. So you're not just showing up for an hour and disappearing — you've got people around you and support the whole way through.
If you're nodding along saying 'oh yeah I need this' then keep scrolling...who is it for?
You've got the skills. You can sew, you can repair, you can make beautiful things. That bit's sorted.
It's all the other stuff that feels hard. The figuring out how you talk about your work and get people actually paying for it. The showing up online without wanting to crawl under the sewing table. The wondering if this is actually going to work or if everyone else has got some secret you haven't been let in on.
Thursday nights. topics that build on each other. One goal - helping you start building a livelihood from your sewing skills.
If you've got the sewing skills but you're not sure how to actually turn that into something that pays you properly and fits your life, this is for you.
Over 6 weeks we'll cover:❋ Week 1 - Thursday 14th May: Positioning yourselfWho are you, what do you offer, and how do you talk about it in a way that actually makes sense to the people you want to work with.
❋ Week 2 - Thursday 21st May: Getting work and communicating valueThe stuff that actually brings work through the door. How to find it, how to talk about what you do, and how to make people go "yes, I need that."
❋ Week 3 - Thursday 28th May: Understanding your rhythms and protecting thatThere's no point building a livelihood that runs you into the ground. This one's about how you structure your time, look after your energy, and actually enjoy the thing you're building.
❋ Week 4 - Work through Reclaim Your WorthYour copy is included in the package. This is your week to get stuck into the pricing foundations so you come into the final session with everything in place.
❋ Week 5 - Thursday 11th June: Growing without losing yourself
The one I care about most. How to keep developing without falling into the trap of scaling for the sake of it or becoming something you never wanted to be.
❋ Week 6 - Thursday 18th June: Hot-seat Mentoring
The one I'm most excited about. I work with each of you directly on whatever you're navigating right now. It's personalised, it's direct, and you'll learn loads from hearing everyone else's stuff too.
Access to replays available for each LIVE session too.between sessions.
This isn't one of those things where you show up, feel inspired for an hour, and then go back to being stuck. Each week there's homework - nothing overwhelming, just something to keep you moving between sessions. And there's an accountability space where you can check in with the group and with me throughout the week. Share your wins, ask your questions, get a nudge when you need one.
The idea is that by the time you get to the next session, you've actually done something with what we covered. That's how it builds.
How it works:
Each teaching session is 45 minutes of me sharing and teaching, followed by 15/30 minutes of Q&A. The hot seat session is longer - up to a couple of hours - because that's where the real personalised stuff happens.
Everything is on Thursday evenings at 6.30pm UK time, on Google Meet. Only 8 people so it stays small and everyone gets proper time and attention.
This is a package - all five sessions together because each one builds on the last and you'd miss the full picture if you dipped in and out.
Every package includes a copy of Reclaim Your Worth so your pricing foundations are covered too.

Basting Stitch + Private 1:1 Session
Everything in the standard package plus a private 2 hour session with me where we get into your stuff one-on-one. If you want that extra personalised support, this is for you. Only a few of these available.
And if money is tight, please still reach out. I've been exactly where you are - earlier in my career I would have needed this but wouldn't have been able to afford it. I'm always open to a conversation about making things work.
8 spots. That's it.
I'm keeping it small on purpose. I want to know everyone's name, everyone's work, and I want everyone to feel like they've got proper space in the room. Once the spots are filled, that's it until next time.

I'd rather you felt sure about it than signed up with doubts.
