I'm Annie, and I have a Dream...
My dream is that people who have had a lifetime of conditioning that their body is in some way under-par (this is mostly but not exclusive to women) can experience the liberating magic that a few simple stitches and some know-how can bring to improve your relationship with yourself.
It is truly, TRULY, transformative. |
You don't need to make a whole wardrobe, simply knowing a bit about line and proportion can set you free from those awful changing room gremlin voices that whisper in your ear 'your body is not good enough'
They are lying.
Garment design is all in the trickery of line and proportion. Once you know this, you can make anything, literally ANYTHING work for your body.
Knowing how to sew gives you the added advantage that you can completely have control over your choices, and not beholden to designers who have never set eyes on you, who have no idea who YOU are, in your heart, inside and outside, designing clothes for you to wear and providing no alternative options than a frustrated and disappointing session of trying on.
Our mission is to help you, at whatever stage of your journey, find the liberation to feel good in your own skin, and express who you really are through your clothing.

If garment making isn't your thing - we are also passionate about the emotional well-being benefits of creativity. Whether a home-made gift or practical object the simple act of sewing brings so much to everyone who does it!
I founded Start to Stitch to bring all of this to the people around me, and our incredible global community Stitch Sewcial is my happy corner of the internet. Such a wonderful supportive group of humans from around the world...
I would love for you to join us, Annie x |
Shortly after I completed my first sewing course with Annie, I signed up to the Intermediate course. I really enjoyed the beginners and was keen to keep going.
The number of skills built into these courses is amazing! I've learnt so much. Lots of firsts - buttonhole, lining, gathering, zip, and many more.
I would highly recommend Annie's Start to Stitch courses, so much so I've actually just started a third!
