✂️ New to Sewing?

If you’re new to sewing - welcome, you’re in the right place 🧵

I’m Fleur, founder of Motif Studio and I’m here to help you take your first steps into the sewing world - one stitch at a time.

When I started sewing as a child, it quickly became my favourite way to unwind and express myself. Over the years it’s been a constant companion - something grounding, creative and deeply soothing.

I know what it’s like to be a beginner and I promise it doesn’t have to feel overwhelming.

At Motif, I’ve designed every pattern with simplicity, clarity and joy in mind.
Most of the patterns are made entirely from fabric, with no zips, hardware, or complicated extras - so you can start sewing straightaway with what you might already have at home.

If you’ve never made a bag before, don’t worry. Each pattern comes with step-by-step instructions, so you can follow along at your own pace.

Start small, take your time, and celebrate each step - even threading the machine and cutting the fabric counts as progress!

Sewing is such a meditative, rewarding practice. It teaches patience, focus, and trust in the process. The beauty of it is that there’s no rush - just you, your fabric and the gentle hum of the machine.

So if you’re feeling that first spark of curiosity or the urge to make something with your hands, I’m here to cheer you on.

Choose a beginner-friendly pattern, pour yourself a cup of tea (or coffee or matcha) and let’s begin - together.

If you’re not sure where to begin, I’ve put together a gentle step-by-step list of patterns to help you start your sewing journey with confidence. You can find it here.

With love,
Fleur x
