Doesn’t the idea of sewing a dress for a party, making pillows for your dorm or making clothes for your daughter sound incredible? But how do you do it? For Elizabeth Caven, of UpCraft Club, online resources were the answer. Traditional paper patterns from the craft store require sewing experience that many new-to-the-hobby don’t have. Recognizing the need for support, Elizabeth launched the UpCraft Club to bridge the gap between the online and retail sewing worlds.
UpCraft Club’s revolutionary paperless sewing system helps novice sewists develop skills quickly. The program, completely online, eliminates a great deal of paper waste in the industry and makes learning to sew more accessible. With over 1500 high quality patterns already on the platform, users can work through a variety of projects at home. Even better, KITE - the company’s paperless sewing pattern system - will launch later this year, replacing the need for paper all together (so long tissue paper and pins, we won't miss you!).
UpCraft Club is reinventing the sewing business by expanding the sewing world to anyone with access to the internet. As result of her instant access to an online library of patterns, Elizabeth expects to collar a new generation ofDIY fashionistas.
