Curated by ITF
Are you ready to make clothes you will wear, love and cherish?
In the Folds offers a monthly subscription that brings together patterns, techniques and answers your specific questions, all in one place, within the In the Folds community.
Curated by ITF projects will help you learn more skills, instead of just making more clothes.
Sewing a handmade wardrobe you are proud of is about learning the skills and building on them over time. With these resources (and access to our online community group), you will build a resource and pattern library that you can refer to on your handmade journey, empowering you to sew a wardrobe that you love, one piece and one skill at a time. We are excited for you to join us.
More information about Curated by In the Folds can be found here.

The Skill Sharer tier enables you to pay for your own subscription to the Skill Builder tier and gift one to another maker who cannot afford the subscription at the moment.

This tier allows another maker access to the subscription (which we will organise). It is not gifting to a friend. If you would prefer to gift a membership to a friend or family member, select this membership tier and provide us with their name and email address in the notes at checkout. Please be aware that at this stage, gifted memberships are a manual process (we're working on it), which means your friend or loved one will not receive the project instantly.
Please note: you will be charged your first month's subscription fee when you sign-up and receive the current project directly to your inbox. After that, you will be charged on the first of each month and receive your new project on the first of each month.
This Month's Project
Our brains have an amazing ability to push us to do things we never thought possible. Yet on the other hand, they can completely stop us in our tracks.
If you’ve ever experienced a sewing funk, you’ll know exactly how hard it can be to break. It can feel like there’s no rhyme or reason to why we can’t get started on that project we really want to sew. Ordinary things feel hard. Motivation is through the floor. And procrastination? Sky high.
That’s why the start of a new year is the perfect time to do a sewing mindset reset, and our Sewing Mindset Journal will help you do just that.
Our Sewing Mindset Journal is designed to support your sewing journey and help you develop a positive and productive mindset towards your creative practice. Covering the steps to follow to find your sewing motivation again, this journal is a comforting place to go when you’re feeling unmotivated, overwhelmed or just don't know how to start.
Throughout its pages, you’ll find exercises, prompts, and reflections that encourage you to explore your motivations, set goals, and overcome challenges. Use this journal as a safe space to document your thoughts, track your progress, and celebrate your achievements in your sewing journey as a whole. Or, use it to help you zone in on a project that fits your current motivation and time commitment.
And the cherry on top? You can return to this journal as many times as you and your sewing practice need.
The journal is split into four parts:
REFLECT
Consider your sewing practice by connecting with your ‘why’, recognise your progress, and take pride in the pieces you’ve created. Use this information to help inform future projects.
PROJECT PLANNING
Learn how to set yourself up for success by planning the projects you want to make. Figure out what you need to do to get into a state of creative flow, and zone in on a project to tackle this month while working through the exercises.
OVERCOMING OBSTACLES
Learn from past challenges, break down sewing projects into manageable steps and make time for sewing when life is busy.
UNFINISHED PROJECTS
We’ll help you make a plan for those unfinished sewing projects, and provide guidance on recognising when to move forward or let go of a project.
Mighty Networks group
Once again, we will be working on everything together in our Mighty Networks group. Our focus is never only about sharing our shiny, new makes, but this month? We really want to focus on sharing HOW we are progressing in our creative journey, and WHAT we are learning and considering as we work through this resource. As usual, we encourage you to ask questions and connect with the other makers - take full advantage of this private platform and wonderful community of creatives!
Difficulty
Whether you’re an experienced sewist or just starting out, this journal will empower you to approach your projects with clarity and confidence, ensuring that each stitch brings you closer to your creative goals.
