About Me

Hi I’m Candice and I’m so happy you’re here!

I’m a sewist, sewing pattern designer and content creator. I live in Ontario with my two boys, husband and our dog Maya.

I left my job as a lawyer a couple years ago because I was tired of the corporate grind and had been wanting to take the leap to do something creative for basically my entire life. I’m so excited grateful that I get to sew all day and also teach others to sew as a full time job. It’s a dream come true!

I started sewing about 7 years ago, and quickly went from sewing basic pieces, to hacking and drafting my own, and eventually went on to designing and selling sewing patterns!

It’s my goal to make sewing as accessible and easy to learn as possible, and I hope you stick around!

You can find my patterns here, or on Etsy, and I also run an indie sewing pattern company, Staystitch Pattern Co. with my friend Lindsey @thestitchfitz! 

This is a space for sewing, learning, and finding inspiration for your next make. Explore my printed and digital-download sewing patterns, or follow along with my free Learn to Sew videos.

Whether you’re getting to know your sewing machine or planning your next project, I hope you’ll find something here that makes you excited to create.

Thanks for being part of this community!
