If you’ve been thinking about joining Design Secrets, this is it—your final window before the price doubles.

The Camelot Module marks the halfway point in our year-long designer course and community. It’s one of the most polished releases yet—featuring the Jackie O–inspired jacket and pencil skirt set, couture-level sewing techniques, and professional finishing that makes every piece look tailor-made.

Now that Camelot marks the midpoint of the year-long course, it also becomes the natural dividing line—where Design Secrets will soon be offered in two options:

• the 6-month program, For the Dabbler, and

• the full 12-month experience, The All-In Designer.

Both will launch at the new tiered pricing—double what members pay today.

Here’s what’s about to happen: (New increased pricing links below. Lock and loaded.)

• Half Year Modules 1–6 (For the Dabbler): $97

• Full Year Modules 1–12 (The All-In Designer): $197

If you’re already inside, your rate is locked for life. But if you’re still on the outside looking in, this is your last chance get the full year at the $97 full-year rate before we flip the switch on the new pricing.

The update is already queued—it’s literally one click away from going live.

👉 Act now to secure your spot before the Founder Era closes.
Once the new pricing hits, the $97 full-year access will never return.

Your Camelot journey—and your designer transformation—awaits inside.

🪡 Here’s What to Expect Inside Design Secrets

Every module combines era-inspired designer patterns and style lessons, and professional flat pattern adjustment lessons — taught in a 3-part format:
1️⃣ Scaled practice pattern for hands-on learning
2️⃣ PDF lesson plan with step-by-step directions
3️⃣ Narrated video explaining the how and the why behind each adjustment

Every module also includes Fine Sewing Lessons — the precise finishing techniques that separate “homemade” from high-fashion. You’ll not only practice the stitches, but learn when to use fine sewing methods and when to step into couture finishes. Each lesson is taught in a clear, structured format to build mastery step by step:

1️⃣ Hands-on practice samples — you’ll sew scaled swatches of hems, seams, and finishes so you can master each technique before applying it to a full garment.
2️⃣ Narrated video walkthroughs — insider demonstrations explain the when and why behind fine sewing vs couture sewing, so you know which detail belongs where.
3️⃣ PDF guides and charts — step-by-step instructions, diagrams, and couture comparisons show exactly how and why each finish is used.

Plus — you’re part of an engaged sewing community where you can ask questions, share projects, and get feedback from designers and fellow members.
