If you’re already part of the family, good news—you’re locked in. You’ve got access, you grabbed it early, and you don’t have to worry about future price changes. Smart move. ⭐

💬 And here’s why the price makes sense: our members aren’t just dabbling—they’re finishing projects they never thought possible, mastering adjustments that fix the #1 frustration in home sewing (fit), and building wardrobes that look boutique-made. Many have been with me since launch, watching the Sewing Pattern Secrets database as we’ve stacked on 110+ patterns, 46 new designs, plus-size expansions, and constant upgrades. They’ll tell you straight: Design Secrets has given them skills, confidence, and results they didn’t get anywhere else.

📈 And here’s the proof: 98% of our Design Secrets members came directly from the Sewing Pattern Secrets Database. They started with the foundation, saw the results, and chose to move up into the advanced program. Nobody makes that kind of leap unless the first step delivered—and delivered big.

💡 “The best sewing investment outside my machine.” — Leslie K
💡 “I finally stopped wasting fabric. Now I sew pieces that fit the first time.” — Angela R
💡 “I didn’t think I could do this, but the step-by-step lessons made me feel like a designer.” — Marcia H

Either way—whether you’re a proud Design Secrets member already, or you’re just curious what’s inside—scroll down and check out the details below. You’ll see exactly which Modules are opening up, what patterns and lessons are waiting for you, and how it all fits together.

✨ What’s Behind the Seams: Your Look Inside Design Secrets

Whether you’ve dipped your toes in with our 5-pattern sampler site, joined the full Sewing Pattern Secrets database, or enrolled in the Design Secrets course itself—Design Secrets is where it all comes together and we start to have fun!

Design Secrets is the curriculum behind the curtain. Since our beta launch in March, it’s become the most transformational experience we’ve offered yet—not just a course, but a map through the eras of fashion that shaped how clothing moves, fits, and lives on the body.

Each module includes a set of patterns inspired by a fashion icon of the time—figures who didn’t just follow trends, but changed them. Through their silhouettes, fabric choices, and construction details, we study how Marilyn influenced curves, how Audrey redefined proportion, how Grace embodied elegance through structure, and how Jacki's restraint became a political and cultural statement.

You’ll master fine sewing techniques, learn the flat pattern adjustments used by professionals, and decode the style lines that defined icons like the Gatsby’s girls, Marilyn’s curves, Audrey’s balance, Grace’s structure, and soon—Jacki’s restrained power and sheer class.

👉 Today, we're giving you a full walkthrough of everything unlocked so far—what you've already gained, and what’s just ahead.

👉 What’s Up Next?
The Jacki Era — Module 6: The Poised & Polished Designer — where you’ll refine your fine sewing foundation with couture-inspired techniques, hand-finished details, and precise construction that creates timeless, understated elegance.

👇Below we take a look back at how far you’ve come—and where we’re headed next.
