About
Hi there! My name is Tina Givens and I sew, design, and share inspiration. I am an apparel designer with a specific niche of elegant, comfortable and sometimes quirky garments. I am also a textile designer for both apparel and the quilting world.
I am personally inspired by the process of creating something that matters. I view everything I make or design through a lens that breaks through the ordinary! I am not ordinary and neither are you. Sewing is a magical craft and stitching each piece into place is a journey. Using simple tools and techniques I love to share my laid-back methods of sewing.
I offer a unique perspective through design choices, and how to wear garments together to create a relaxed, yet stylish look.
Whether you are a career woman, retired and casual, or just looking for a change in style then you are in the right place.
I love to quilt too. I just piece the quilt top, and build each block with thought and care. I design quilts so we will spend time together to either learn the craft or enjoy my process.
I love life, art and our beautiful world of culture and life. I love my family and my circle of friends who bring me joy every day.
SYCHIL is a place where I dig deep and share through workshops and patterns for your every day life.
This is about harnessing your creativity, living a joyful life, and community.

ABOUT SYCHIL
As a creator, my ethos is to share what I do. As a designer and active maker, I sketch, design, and draft pattern pieces and construction directions so you can make it too.
HERE on this site, I share ideas, hacks on existing patterns, offer a club membership where this community can access patterns for as low as $1, free patterns, more club patterns and workshops to take you through my process of making.
Whether you are a club member or not, you will find valuable resources from our 'planner', free patterns, free workshops and more.
This community is loving and supportive, sharing and exploring to create their own magical wardrobes.
As a textile designer for the Quilting world, I offer free quilt patterns so you can stitch rhythmically crafting magical quilt tops.
