ABOUT ME
My Journey
Hi, I’m Tammy 👋🏽
I started sewing in my bedroom just six years ago. Back then I couldn’t find the kind of patterns I really wanted - so I decided to make my own. That one decision changed everything.
Learning pattern making gave me the freedom to create whatever I imagined, and it gave me the confidence to build my own sewing pattern brand, Tammy Handmade. Known for its best-selling and beginner-friendly patterns, I help people sew their own clothes with ease and confidence. Thousands of people across the globe rave about my patterns and knowing I’ve helped them along their sewing journey is a feeling I’ll cherish forever.
Since then, I’ve published my first sewing book Sew Simple, and grown a global online community of over 200,000+ sewists who are all learning, growing, and falling in love with this skill.
Whether you're dreaming of starting your own pattern brand or just want to feel more confident creating clothes that truly fit your style, I’ll guide you step-by-step. Let me teach you pattern making and learn how to build a thriving sewing business today.
