Want to know the secret behind garments that turn out that good—the ones you really love and feel proud to wear?

It’s not better fabric or a faster machine.
It’s in the preparation - the steps that, we too often skip over!

The truth is, the best garments come together before you ever sew a single seam. I always say sewing is 70% preparation and 30% actual sewing—and in my next video, I’ll show you exactly what that looks like!

From mood boards to testing trims, I’m walking you through every behind-the-scenes step that went into one of my favourite recent makes (this dreamy rayon crepe robe dress I’m still swooning over!). (Trust me, if I’d skipped any of it… this dress would’ve turned out very differently!)

If you’ve ever felt like your projects don’t turn out the way you hoped, this might be the missing piece!

The full video premieres this weekend!

And in the meantime, tell me:

What’s the #1 prep step you never skip? Or one you always forget until it’s too late?

Let’s talk in the comments!
