Meet Alana, Our Creative Director
the sartorial project is an Australian sewing-pattern atelier that encourages everyone from beginners to established sewists to create unique, handmade garments for their wardrobes. Alana is the driving force behind the project, bringing over 20 years of expertise in fashion and textiles to her role as Creative Director. A respected educator in higher education, she has spent decades teaching garment design and construction at university-level, fostering technical skill, critical thinking, and creative confidence in the next generation of designers.
Sewing is more than just making clothes; it’s a way to develop a lasting relationship with what you make and wear, and to embrace the ongoing journey of personal creativity with every stitch. Together, we’re reshaping sewing through the principles of slow fashion, mindful making, and sustainability. Join us to unlock your creativity and craft a more considered future.

Meet the Jinul Jacket!
Essential sewing - Jinul box jacket comfort
The Jinul box jacket is unlined and features voluminous square sleeves and generous sized pockets that are inset into the gusset side panel of the jacket. The symmetrical design has a diagonal cut front which features a band to create detail and allows the garment to cross over the body. The jacket has no fastenings, but as an additional alteration to the pattern, you could make a wide belt to wrap around the waist and cinch in the silhouette. Your new classic style that embraces slow sewing. Great for summer, winter or seasons in between!

Hello Plato Pant!
Comfort, comfort, comfort! The gentle fitting Plato tapered side seam pant features a wide elasticated waist and belt tabs to give you the option of wearing a belt. The side seams are gently tapered towards the front from the waist and feature in-seam pockets. The pant hem is darted at the front and back to create a slightly tapered effect at the ankle.

Coat Sewing Pattern
Essential coat sewing - Juniper Coat. Comfort and style.
Sewing pattern available in size XS to 3XL with easy to follow step-by-step sewing instructions. Create a warm cosy coat for winter using heavier coat weight fabrics (or even that vintage wool blanket), or a breezy summer version in cotton or linen without lining!
