The course is absolutely
The Hinterland Dress was my first foray into fitting my upper body, though I've been sewing for 50 years. I worked with the FABULOUS Judith to make the necessary alterations and I now feel confident to move forward with Hinterland hacks. It's a great pattern to use as a blank canvas for all sorts of outfits.
The Mindful Wardrobe Project has helped me define for myself what clothes I want to wear and encouraged me to play with the clothes I already own to put together new favorite outfits. I have gained confidence in wearing my own clothing choices without worrying whether they are “in style.” The online community has been lovely for chatting with others with similar wardrobe goals but unique personal styles, and the opportunity to ask sewing and fitting questions has been so helpful.
I love making the Hinterland because it's simple and comfortable and you can wear it all the time. It's the perfect dress for many occasions.
Judith is a gem! After 50 years of sewing and more fitting courses than I care to divulge, her expert guidance helped me FINALLY approach my bodice issues head on. I now love the geometry of pattern alteration and can move forward confidently to make clothes that fit!
I will continue to learn from her once I start the Creative Hinterland course!
I can’t even accurately express how your Mindful Wardrobe class changed my life.
As I read through it, *I* was in the gray phase. No idea who I was. I was the baby feeder, up in the middler of the night-er, the sitting on the floor like a zombie surrounded by laundry-er. For YEARS. Your course is what started me on the journey of finding out who *I* was (not what I’m being marketed) and then making clothes to fit THAT. I’m so glad I was able to purchase it outright and own it forever.
Thank you, Meg, for all you’ve done.

I’m Meg, and I passionately believe that what you put on your body matters.
Your clothing choices affect your mood, which affects your thoughts, which make you … well, YOU.
I want you to dress yourself with intention. To clothe yourself in lovingly-made, well-fitting treasures. To dress how you want to FEEL.
I didn’t always have this clarity surrounding my wardrobe. Learn more about how my son’s devastating diagnosis shaped me into the confident and purpose-filled sewist I am today.
You want to love your wardrobe. You want the joy of making something beautiful.
But, let’s be honest, that long list of potential projects can be OVERWHELMING, making you feel anxious rather than joyful.
I’ve developed a Guide to Holding Time for Creativity where I show you a path to slowing down, finding mental space, and turning your sewing into a practice of self-care.
