When it comes to sewing, do you feel...

I don’t have time to do anything too complicated.


Whilst sewing a tailored suit sounds amazing, most of us don’t have the time to dedicate to learning such a skill. I like to keep my projects simple and achievable within the precious “mindful making” time I manage to carve out for myself. 


Don’t want to pay $200 for that “designer” linen dress—surely, I can just make it?


The popular, minimalist / sustainable fashion movement has people paying $200+ for a boxy, linen dress. Could you sew your own minimalist fashion dress? And avoid sweat shop made clothing altogether? Of course you can!


I just want to have fun and express my creativity and unique sense of style.


If reading lengthy instructions and following patterns to a tee is not your ideal way to express your creativity, then you are my type of gal! I personally love the sense of freedom from making my own changes to a pattern to fully express my creativity.


I hate tracing and cutting out paper patterns for every project I start.


You just want to get straight into the fun part—working with fabric and sewing. The need to trace and cut out paper patterns can feel tedious, and stop you from actually starting a project at all. 


Always want to make my own changes and tweaks to sewing patterns but don’t know how.


The addition of pockets, or changing the sleeve shape slightly...little tweaks like that make ALL the difference to a garment you make and never wear, to a garment you want to wear ALL the time. 


Overwhelmed by all the patterns out there.


Commercial patterns, Indie patterns, Etsy, PDFs...there’s a lot out there to choose from and it can be really overwhelming. I’ve wasted lots of time browsing the internet for the EXACT sewing pattern to fit my needs.


If you’re feeling ANY of these, you are in the right place, my friend.

ONE Sewing Pattern, INFINITE Ways

I wasted HOURS searching for the perfect sewing pattern. Until I realised I can just make my own changes to suit my EXACT needs.


I came up with the Little Boxy Dress (LBD) sewing pattern to help women of ALL sewing levels create a simple, fun and quick garment. Over the years, it’s become clear that the LBD sewing pattern is the perfect base to express your own style!


Add pockets, sleeves, make it wider, make it longer, add ruffles...the opportunities are endless.

Who is Boxy Dress Booster for?

  • This Workshop is Perfect for: Creative women who want to have fun making dresses that suit their unique sense of style.

    You love the sense of pride and accomplishment in making and wearing a handmade garment. You find joy in mindful crafting and want to spend more time expressing your creativity through designing your own Little Boxy Dress.

    Ideally, you have already done the free Little Boxy Dress workshop. This workshop only takes a few days, so you don’t need to worry if you haven’t done it yet. You will need the basic pattern from the free workshop to make the amendments in the Boxy Dress Booster workshop. No hurry, you have lifetime access to both workshops.

  • This Workshop is NOT for: People looking for an instant wardrobe or just want to be told exactly what to make.

    If you want an instant, sustainable wardrobe, then you might be better off purchasing ready-made clothing from conscious retailers. Sewing a garment takes patience, time and lots of love. It’s a joyful, meditative process, but it’s not an instant fix.

    Boxy Dress Booster is designed to inspire you to come up with your own unique tweaks and changes to the basic Little Boxy Dress pattern. It will show you how to create these changes, but ultimately, it’s up to you to make the final decision. You are the Creative Director for this sewing pattern.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What if I haven’t done the free Little Boxy Dress Workshop yet?

    You will need the basic sewing pattern we make in the free Little Boxy Dress Workshop, in order to make all the changes we’ll cover in the Boxy Dress Booster. No stress, the basic LBD pattern only takes a few hours to create. Once you have signed up, you get lifetime access to both workshops so you can complete them in your own time.

  • Will I receive anything in the post?

    This workshop is completely digital, and no packages will show up on your doorstep. The huge perk is that you can replay (i.e. re-attend) the course as many times as you like.

  • What size do the dresses come in?

    We use the Little Boxy Dress (LBD) basic pattern in this new workshop to create our own changes. The LBD pattern is made tailored to your size. You take your own measurements and draft the sewing pattern to fit your body.

  • Do I need to finish the workshop within a timeframe?

    No. You will have lifetime access to the workshop so you can go at your own pace. And you can come back and make more dresses in the future.

  • Can I skip ahead if I'm advanced?

    Yep, if you've got a bit more time in a day or just feel like skipping ahead, go for it. All the lessons will be available for you to view as soon as the workshop starts.

  • Isn't it quicker to just buy a ready-made dress?

    Yes, and you'll get instant gratification....which will last about 2 minutes. Whereas if you make the dress with your own hands, slowly and carefully, how would that make you feel? When you carve out time for this workshop, it's sacred. This workshop is not really about the end product. It's the process and the act of self love.

    Plus, those linen dresses from minimalist fashion brands can cost HUNDREDS of dollars. With this workshop, you can learn to make as many dresses as you like!

  • Is my credit card secure?

    Credit card security is extremely important. That's why all payments go through PayPal, who are leaders in risk management. PayPal keeps financial information encrypted and protected. You can read more about PayPal's security here.

  • What is your refund policy?

    I really want you to feel comfortable making a purchase online. So there's a 14 days money back guarantee. It means you could just get the sewing patterns, all the bonus downloads, watch the videos and then ask for a refund. But I know the majority of people are good people (especially sewing lovers), so I trust you.

  • What currency is this workshop priced at?

    The currency is USD.
