🧵 The Sleeve Wizard – The Windsor Collection

Our Second-Half Module Is Here — and So Is Your Heads-Up on Upcoming Pricing Changes

Dear Designer,

This release officially kicks off the second-half of the Design Secrets Course — and that means something big is on the horizon.

Very soon, Modules 7 through 12 will be included in the complete-year Design Secrets package, which will be offered publicly at $197 (not $97) once our affiliate and paid-advertising integrations are finalized.

You’re seeing this now before that launch. Paid social campaigns will roll out shortly — and you’re getting first access while the doors are still open at the founding-member price.

Now, about this module… yes, it was delayed due to illness on our team. But true to Design Secrets form, what’s been delivered is rich, couture-level instruction that’s worth every extra day of wait time.

👗 PATTERNS – The Windsor Trio

Your new pattern set defines elegance and structure:

• The Windsor Cocktail Dress – fluid yet sculpted, designed to teach proportion and sleeve balance.

• The Royal Bolero – your masterclass in sleeve-cap height, ease, and shoulder contouring.

• The Royal Clutch – a refined finishing project featuring a magnetic clasp and precision construction.

Together, these patterns show how fit and flair meet function — every line intentional, every seam deliberate.

📘 EBOOKS & DOWNLOADS

Now live inside your portal:

• Sleeve Style Sheet PDF – a quick-reference design atlas of sleeve types, proportions, and moods.

• Sleeve Anatomy Guide – illustrations that decode the mechanics of motion and drape.

• Lesson Plan PDF: Sleeve Lengthening and Shortening – ready for download now (video coming next).

These aren’t side notes — they’re the blueprints to professional-level design judgment.

🎓 LESSONS – From Anatomy to Authority

Inside this drop you’ll learn:

• The architecture of the armhole.

• How cap height and fabric behavior dictate movement and grace.

• The dramatic effect of micro-adjustments on silhouette and presence.

• How to “read” sleeve fit like a designer diagnosing structure, not guessing.

By the end, you won’t simply install sleeves — you’ll engineer expression.

🪡 FINE SEWING VIDEOS

Now available for streaming:

• 3D Demo: Facing & Lining the Royal Bolero – a guided look inside couture structure.

• Royal Clutch Magnetic Clasp Tutorial – the fine-finish detail that separates “homemade” from hand-crafted.

Watch these and you’ll never look at interior construction the same way again.

🎬 COMING SOON – VIDEO IN DEVELOPMENT

The “Sleeve Lengthening and Shortening” video lesson is currently in production.
The PDF Lesson Plan is already uploaded so you can review the draft layout before the video release.

⚠️ Heads-Up on Pricing for Non-Members and Upgraders

If you’re reading this and haven’t yet joined Design Secrets, now’s the time.
Once affiliate systems and platform integrations are buttoned up, Modules 7 through 12 will officially be sold as part of the complete-year $197 Design Secrets Course — the same content you can still access today at $97.

The price increase is final once paid advertisers begin running the campaigns.

Thank you for your patience as we wrapped production and recovered from a few health hiccups.

This drop delivers on everything we promised — skill, structure, and the confidence to design sleeves that command the room.

To your next beautifully balanced pattern,
