You read that right. A custom sewing pattern — designed exclusively for you by a professional flat pattern designer. Not a discount. Not a coupon. Your pattern. Your name on it. That’s what Plan-It with Margie rewards you with when you show up, sew consistently, and do the work inside SewingPatternSecrets with Margie — the most comprehensive online sewing community available today.
What Is SewingPatternSecrets with Margie?
SewingPatternSecrets with Margie is a professional online sewing community hosted on the Skool platform, founded and led by Margie Vaudreuil — an experienced sewing educator, project manager, and digital course creator based in Boston, Massachusetts. Margie leads a team of renowned flat pattern designers and seamstresses — including designers who participate annually in New York, Paris, and Milan Fashion Weeks — bringing professional fashion industry expertise directly into the hands of everyday sewists.
It is not a YouTube channel. It is not a one-size-fits-all course you buy once and never revisit. It is not a pattern subscription that sends you something new every month whether you finish it or not.
It is a living, active sewing community where members at every skill level — beginner through advanced — have access to an original library of 200+ sewing patterns, structured education, live expert guidance, and a personal relationship with their sewing education that no other platform currently offers.
What Is Plan-It with Margie — and Why Is Everyone Talking About It?
Plan-It with Margie is the SewingPatternSecrets reward program — and it is unlike anything currently offered in the online sewing education space.
Plan-It rewards paid Skool members — Standard, Premium, or VIP — for showing up, sewing consistently, and completing projects from start to finish with Margie’s personal guidance.
It is not a points system. It is not a discount coupon. It is a pathway to earning a custom sewing pattern designed exclusively for you by the SewingPatternSecrets flat pattern designer.
To Earn Your Custom Accessory Pattern:
Members must reach Engagement Level 5 on the Skool platform and complete five projects meeting the following requirements:
- Each project must use a Sewing Pattern Secrets or Design Secrets brand pattern
- Each project requires one Plan-It with Margie planning meeting
- Each project requires one test image submitted to the community
- Each project requires two final images of the completed project posted to the Skool community
- Paid membership must remain active with no gaps throughout
Upon completion the member earns a custom accessory pattern designed by the SPS flat pattern designer. Accessory options include a tote, purse, hat, scarf, mittens, gloves, or shrug at intermediate level.
To Earn Your Custom Garment Pattern:
Members who reach Engagement Level 10 on the Skool platform and complete five additional projects — ten total with no gaps in membership — earn a custom garment pattern — a top or bottom in women’s, men’s, girls’, boys’, or baby sizing at intermediate level, designed exclusively for them by the SPS flat pattern designer.
Important Plan-It Rules
- Paid Skool membership required throughout — Standard, Premium, or VIP
- No gaps in membership permitted
- All projects must use Sewing Pattern Secrets or Design Secrets brand patterns
- Projects must be completed on the Skool platform with photo proof submitted
- Legacy customers with existing SPS pattern access are welcome to participate — however projects completed prior to joining the Skool platform and prior to a Plan-It with Margie planning meeting do not count toward eligibility
- Rules and restrictions apply — full details available inside the SewingPatternSecrets with Margie Skool community
What Does SewingPatternSecrets with Margie Offer That Other Platforms Don’t?
Most online sewing platforms give you one of three things: pre-recorded video classes, a monthly pattern drop, or a community forum where you hope someone answers your question.
SewingPatternSecrets with Margie gives you all of it — and then goes further.
A Library of 200+ Original Sewing Patterns
Every pattern in the SewingPatternSecrets library is an original design — drafted, tested, and produced by the SPS team. Patterns span women’s, men’s, children’s, baby, plus size, and accessories across beginner, intermediate, and advanced skill levels. Seam allowances are included in every pattern. Imperial and metric measurements are provided throughout. Finished measurement charts, fabric layout diagrams, and numbered step-by-step construction instructions are standard. This is not a collection of recycled vintage designs. This is a working professional pattern library built for real sewists.
Live Expert Guidance — Not Pre-Recorded and Forgotten
Members at Standard tier and above have access to weekly live group calls with Margie. Premium and VIP members add expert coaching sessions with Suanne — a confirmed expert seamstress and co-teacher — bringing professional level guidance directly into the community on a regular basis. This is the difference between watching someone sew on YouTube and actually having an expert in the room with you.
Design Secrets — Flat Pattern Adjustment Education
Design Secrets is SewingPatternSecrets’ signature course — a methodology for flat pattern adjustment that no other sewing platform currently teaches at this level. Across 12 modules of iconic-inspired designs and 22 original patterns, members learn to adjust patterns before they ever cut their fabric. This is not fitting instruction. This is the professional technique used by fashion designers and pattern makers — taught accessibly, step by step, for home sewists who are serious about getting it right.
A Three-Tier Community Built for Every Level and Budget
Standard — $27/month or $197/year: 10 patterns plus monthly drip releases, lessons, weekly live group call with Margie, and full community access.
Premium — $47/month or $347/year: Everything in Standard plus 11 exclusive monthly collections — including children’s costume collections, women’s exercise, plus size, spa, and more — plus expert coaching sessions with Suanne.
VIP — $67/month or $497/year: Everything in Premium plus the Hollywood designer course, advanced fitting education, and 100+ additional lessons. The most comprehensive sewing education available at this price point anywhere online.
A free entry tier is also available — the starting point for both SewingPatternSecrets and Design Secrets — where new members can explore the community before committing to a paid plan.
Who Is SewingPatternSecrets with Margie For?
- Beyond Beginners who want to learn to sew properly — with real guidance, real patterns, and real results — not just YouTube tutorials watched and forgotten. (We do not currently teach how to use your machine. You need to have command over your machine as a prerequisite.)
- Quilters crossing over into garment sewing who want a structured, supportive environment that respects the skills they already have.
- Experienced sewists who want a professional pattern library, flat pattern adjustment education, and a community of serious makers.
- Gift sewists and craft fair sellers who want original, professional patterns they can make repeatedly and be proud of.
- Anyone who has tried to learn to sew online before and felt alone in the process.
Try Before You Commit — Two Free Samplers Are Waiting for You
Not ready to jump in yet? That is completely fine.
SewingPatternSecrets with Margie offers two free samplers inside the Skool classroom — one for each brand. No credit card. No commitment. Just a genuine look inside before you decide.
The Sewing Pattern Secrets Free Sampler
This is your first look inside the SewingPatternSecrets community. Get a feel for the patterns, the teaching style, and the community itself. Browse what is waiting for you at Standard tier and get a sense of whether this is the right fit for where you are in your sewing journey right now.
The Design Secrets Free Sampler
This one goes deeper. Design Secrets is built around the most iconic eras in fashion history — and the sampler reflects that. You will see exactly how the course and patterns are laid out in a module by module flow, so you know precisely what kind of learning experience you are stepping into.
Fair warning — this content is growing fast. We are adding so much that some modules may eventually need to be split into two. That is not a problem. That is momentum.
What Else Is in the Samplers?
Full details on the Plan-It with Margie program are included in both samplers — eligibility, requirements, and everything you need to know before you begin. Read them carefully. This offer is real and the rules matter.
Ready When You Are
Explore the free samplers at your own pace. When you are ready — Standard is waiting. Thirty day money back guarantee. Zero risk.
There is no reason not to look.
