Yes! Your free ticket gives you access to all of the daily presentations for a full 24 hours after each one goes live. You’ll be able to learn from every speaker during the three days of the event without paying a single dollar. I created this event because beginner pattern makers deserve clear, accessible guidance, and I want you to be able to take action right away—no barriers and no pressure. If you want extended access to the videos and extra bonuses, there will be a VIP upgrade option, but the main event itself is completely free.

This event is designed especially for sewists who want to go beyond commercial patterns and learn how to create their own designs with confidence. If you can sew, follow patterns successfully, and are ready to take the next step into understanding how patterns actually work, you are in exactly the right place. Whether you’ve tried tutorials before and felt overwhelmed, or you’re just starting to explore pattern drafting, this intensive will walk you through the foundational skills you’ve been missing. No advanced drafting experience is required—just curiosity and a love for creating.

Absolutely! This event is not just for aspiring pattern designers who want to sell their work. The primary focus is helping you gain clarity in pattern making, understand how to break down garments, and draft with more confidence. Selling your patterns is simply a future possibility for those who want to explore it—not a requirement. Everything we teach will help you create better-fitting garments for yourself, your family, or your creative projects, no matter what your long-term goals are.

Yes! With your free ticket, each presentation will be available for 24 hours after it goes live. This allows you time to watch at your own pace during the event. If you know your schedule is tight or you want longer-term access to revisit the trainings, you’ll have the option to upgrade to the Pattern Maker VIP Pass, which includes extended replay access plus additional bonuses and resources. But the free ticket still gives you access to the core experience.

Not at all. While I personally love digital drafting tools and will highlight how digital workflows support clarity and accuracy, this event is focused on the core principles of pattern making that apply whether you draft on paper or on the computer. You’ll be able to follow along and learn valuable skills no matter which method you prefer. The goal is to teach you the why and the how behind drafting—not require expensive software.

Yes! As soon as you register, you’ll receive access to our private community space where you can connect with other sewists, ask questions, share ideas, and cheer each other on throughout the event. Pattern making can feel lonely when you’re doing it on your own, so this space is designed to give you support, inspiration, and a group of people who understand the journey you’re on. You don’t have to learn alone—you’ll be surrounded by others who are excited to grow right alongside you.

Then you are exactly who this event is for. The whole intensive is built with beginners in mind, and the speakers have been selected specifically because they’re great at teaching foundational concepts in a clear, approachable way. You don’t need any previous drafting experience—just a willingness to learn step by step. You’ll walk away feeling more confident and much more clear about how patterns work and how you can start drafting your own.

You’re not alone—and that’s one of the biggest reasons this event exists. Drafting can feel confusing when you’re learning from scattered sources or trying to figure it out on your own. This event brings everything together in a simple, guided framework so you can finally understand the process instead of guessing. You’ll be learning from experts who know how to make pattern drafting approachable, and you’ll have support the entire way.

No problem! This event isn’t structured like a live conference—you don’t need to show up at specific times. Each day’s sessions will be released together and remain available for 24 hours. You can watch whenever it fits your schedule. And if you want to watch after the event is over, the Pattern Maker VIP Pass will give you extended access.
