You don’t need more videos....You need guidance

Hi There,

I wanted to share a quick update with you.

While my physical studio has closed, one thing hasn’t changed — people continue to come to me for sewing lessons. And honestly, I’m grateful for that.

For over 30 years, teaching sewing has been a constant in my life, and that didn’t stop when the space changed. If anything, it opened the door for more flexible, more focused ways to learn.

I currently offer private, one-on-one sewing lessons, available online and in person by appointment. These sessions are designed around your goals — whether you’re a beginner, returning to sewing, or ready to work on garments, alterations, or upcycling projects.

If learning to sew (or getting back to it) has been on your mind, this might be your sign to start.

You can view class options and book a session here:

As always, thank you for continuing to support my work. I don’t take it lightly that people still seek me out to learn — and I look forward to sewing with you when the time feels right.

Warmly,
Dru

Hi There,
Since transitioning to a digital-first space, my in-person classes are now very rare. I miss the magic of creating together, so I’m opening up The Intermediate Upcycling & Reconstruction Lab starting THIS Wednesday,
June 3rd (6:00 PM – 8:30 PM)!

We’ll be gathering at a beautiful creative based location that is the perfect, inspiring backdrop for our sessions.

⚠️ Please note: This is an intermediate-level class.

Over 6 weeks, I’m sharing my 20+ years of design experience to teach you how to deconstruct and transform garments (like blazers, jerseys, or button-downs) into custom, luxury-minimalist pieces.

Because this is highly hands-on, I strictly capped the class at 5 students. We only have 2 slots left.

The Details:
Full Setup Provided: I supply the upcycle materials and sewing machines
(or bring your own!).

Investment:
$349 (Afterpay and Payment plans available starting at $174.50).
Note: The exact location is revealed immediately following registration.

⚡️ Fast-Action Bonus:
Grab your spot today and get a free 30-minute virtual styling/sourcing consult with me before Wednesday to pick your perfect pieces to transform.

Click below to claim one of the final 2 seats before Wednesday:

I miss you already...

Hi There,

I hope you’re doing well!

I’m have opened up registration for The Upcycle Sewing Workshop, which will begin on Wednesdays starting June 3rd from 6pm to 8:30 pm. There are 6 sessions and classes will take place at The South Euclid Library.

But - Before the ball starts rolling - I wanted to reach out to you first.

It’s going to be a hands-on workshop focused on moving past the basics—really diving into how to completely take apart and redesign existing garments into deconstructed custom pieces.

Because we’ll be working on more complex reconstruction projects, I’m keeping this group very small and capping it at just 5 people so everyone gets plenty of one-on-one time with me.

Since you’ve taken a class with me before, I am saving these slots for my returning students first before opening the remaining spaces to the general public.

If you want to dive into upcycling with me this summer, you can lock in your spot directly here:

JOIN THE UPCYCLE SEWING WORKSHOP (https://www.druchristine.com/product/upcycle-sewing-workshop/GVPTL77QUPWROG4UQOEEPD5E?cs=true&cst=custom)

Feel free to respond to the email if you have any questions about the class, registration or supplies.

I'd love to see you back in the lab!

Best,
Dru

I tried to stay away from The Devil Wears Prada 2…
but curiosity got the best of me.

I knew I wanted to see it before my timeline filled up with opinions and spoilers.

The last few weeks have been challenging, so I needed a moment to do nothing—
to clear my head and reset.

After my last client, I saw a gap in my schedule, put on something chic, and made my way to the theater.

This solo date was a reminder of why I love fashion.
Like any art form, it brings people together.

The room had a quiet excitement—
a few couples, but mostly fashion people…
(you know we recognize each other)
all curious to see what this film would deliver after all these years.

I appreciated the direction they took with the story.
Like the original, it gave us something we didn’t even realize we needed.

Visually? Chef’s kiss.

Classic silhouettes blended with high fashion and beautiful scenery.
A true treat for the artist in me.

There were a few moments that felt a bit over the top—
likely to appeal to a younger audience.

I always stay for the credits…
and this time, others did too—taking it all in.

Score: B-

I was pleasantly surprised and would absolutely see it again—
perfect for a girls’ day out after brunch.

Curious what you noticed (or what you’ve heard so far)…

I’ll be breaking down the wardrobe next.

Spring has Sprung!

Hey,

Spring is here, and I’m getting ready to do something a little different.

I’m putting together a series of April pop-up experiences — combining fashion and live design in real time. Not a typical pop-up… more of an experience.

I’m looking to partner with a few coffee shops, galleries, or creative spaces for weekend dates.

If you have a space, know someone, or can make an introduction, I’d appreciate it.
Also — once dates are locked, you’ll be the first to know where to find me.
