If you’ve ever wondered what it feels like to think like a designer…

This is your invitation.

We’ve just released something playful, fast, and surprisingly transformative:

Intro to Fashion Illustration with Oksana Ivanchenko — the professional illustrator behind every fashion drawing inside Sewing Pattern Secrets and Design Secrets.

But here’s what you need to know about Oksana.

She is not “self-taught.”
She is not hobby-trained.
She is not YouTube-certified.

She is the epitome of a classically trained European fashion artist.

Educated in some of the finest art and design schools in Ukraine and Europe, Oksana carries that unmistakable atelier sensibility — the kind where line, proportion, movement, and silhouette are instinctive.

She doesn’t just draw clothes.

She sees fashion.

And in this course, she invites you into that world.

Not in an intimidating way.
Not with art-school pressure.
Not with overwhelming theory.

But in a way that feels accessible, joyful, and surprisingly freeing.

This isn’t about becoming an illustrator.

It’s about learning how designers think before fabric is ever cut.

Because illustration is where:
• Proportion gets tested
• Drape gets imagined
• Details get refined
• Ideas get edited
• Confidence begins

When you sketch a garment — even simply — you step into the creative seat.

You stop reacting to patterns.
You start shaping vision.

And that shift?
It changes everything.

Sewing becomes more intentional.
More expressive.
More fashion-forward.

And frankly… more fun.

There is something magnetic about learning from a true artist — someone who exudes creativity without apology. Oksana brings European elegance, technical precision, and playful freedom together in a way that makes you want to pick up a pencil immediately.

No drawing talent required.
No perfection expected.
Just curiosity.

👉 Come see inside Intro to Fashion Illustration
and experience what happens when real fashion artistry meets practical sewing.

Because sometimes the fastest way to elevate your sewing…

is to borrow the eyes of an artist.
