With a lifelong honed set of skills, with both corporate sales & marketing experience Tina Givens, lead designer and host, guides us to sew with a relaxed state of mind. Easy tips and techniques take all the stress out of sewing some seemingly complicated garments. Driven to share her clothes and inspire us to create our own wardrobes with personalized details is at the heart of her work.
THE SEWING PATTERNS
Tina has created hundreds of garments and continues to create and sew for herself, and she offers couture collection garments for sale. This means SEWTG develops and produces ongoing new projects for us home sewers.
Categories include dresses, pants, skirts, slip dresses, tunics, tops, jackets, and coats.
This style is avant guard, elegant, fun, quirky and striking. Tina teaches us to make these garments our own by choosing fabrics color palettes, shapes and styling to reflect our own voice.
COMMUNITY
It's not just about the patterns. With a wonderful community of followers, many have collected and made every pattern Tina has offered. She wanted to offer more, so Tina created a sewing Club which offers hacks and inspiration through her self-published magazine called SYCHIL with a series of wonderful video Workshops and resources.
WWW.SYCHIL.COM / WWW.BUILDYOURCOLLECTION.COM
Designer clothing is very expensive, and more folks are discovering the joy of creating their own clothes, which are in fact better made by you, more personalized in fit, color, fabric and more. Spend your money on fabulous shoes and jewelry, and make your garments with us. It's easy to learn to sew. Truly! And the busy-ness of sewing is a personal activity that allows you to be creative, choose beautiful fabric and stitch them up for yourself. Look fabulous! No stretch jeans and a T-Shirt ghere.
Our patterns WILL fit you! Just check out our size chart and match your body measurements to determine which size will work best for you.
Coming from an apparel industry family, Tina has lifelong skills in patterns, design and production. She brushes shoulders with some of the apparel designers of brands you love, getting to know their passion and skill set. We have expert couture seamstresses as sample makers, and testers.

As a couture designer, Tina Givens shares her perspective with us in even the simplest of garments. A TG pattern of a basic skirt, as an example, will offer a distinctive tweak making it a unique garment. Couture designed pieces and the production process is quite different to that of the home sewing market. The designs offered in TG patterns are similar and also quite different to the ready-to-wear and couture market pieces. The reason is to make the pattern pieces and instruction as simple and as clear as possible.
Sewing Patterns include pattern pieces and instructions with technical diagrams to take you through each step of the sewing process. Sewing techniques are simple yet clever, and create extraordinary results. Garments are easy to make, and carry a certain aesthetic that can be personally translated for your wardrobe.
These patterns are informal, and as an independent sewing pattern publisher we prefer to keep things simple. Some pieces are surprisingly simple in their pattern pieces, but a little more detailed in the instructions. So be sure to read instructions for layouts, cutting and note any additional pieces you are required to cut out. We carefully layout patterns in both print and download formats to use as little paper as possible, and so when we are asking you to cut out a perfect rectangle or square, we list it in the instructions instead of having you print out more paper.

FINDING THE RIGHT SEWING PATTERNS
This is a vital part of the process, naturally we need guidance on how to achieve these looks. Use your favorite patterns and
we will help you get what you need. Note the basic piece of the pattern such as the sleeves, armhole, bodice/dress fit around your upper body. Shape can be reworked into any pattern. (Our Workshop series #0124 Module 2)
In the meantime, browse TG PATTERNS and review your current stash.
Look for armholes shapes, bodice type, sleeve shape, and neckline.
