"Courses are wonderfully organised, breaking down complex sewing projects into manageable, step-by-step videos. I love how I can work at my own pace and can always go back to some lessons if I need to.
But my favourite thing is how Liza 'normalises' mistakes and shows how to fix them. This approach has been a game-changer for me. It made a huge difference in my sewing journey. Also, whether you want it or not, you start becoming much more creative."

I started Arkdefo because I hated watching women shrink themselves to fit standard patterns.
I know how much it changes your life when you understand how clothes really work, and how powerful it feels to make them for your own body.
I want you to feel great in your body.
Relaxed, simple, timeless tops.
Made by you, for you.
