The Colour Options
This year we have three colour options if you are joining us for the Full Box options where we deliver all the fabric, notions and patterns to your door. The cool and warm options have neutrals and a few garments eith either have cool or warm coloured options. By neutrals we mean white, beige, cream, navy and black(but for printed fabric it may contain colours from the other palettes for example there could be a print with pink and blue in both the warm and the cool boxes). The wacky option is overall a more colourful palette so less neutrals!
Cool Option: When we say cool we mean cool colours from a traditional colour wheel you would have had in school art class. This means there could be blues, purples and greens mixed in with your neutrals.
Warm Options: Again back to that colour wheel we will be adding in oranges, yellows and pinks into this fabric kit, with the neutrals too of course!
Wacky Option: We had several requests from our more colourful past CCC participants for a fabric box that was more colourful with less neutrals...so we have delivered. If you are not afraid of colour and print this is the option for you! This option IS limited in numbers however so if you fancy this option you'll want to get in quick!
Every year we are asked why we don't just show you the fabrics so you can choose. The main reason for this is because we can't guarantee all the kits are going to be the same as it depends on the stock of fabric we have and the stock of fabric our suppliers have. And the second reason is this box of goodies arriving at your door is HONESTLY like Christmas day and we think the surprise is part of the fun. If there happens to be a fabric in your box that wasn't your vibe, you can swap it in the group with other CCCers, you can put it in your stash to make something for someone else and use other fabric for that project and sometimes(depending on the fabric) you can dye it a colour that is more you. So there are options!

Can I join the course without the fabric kit??
Yes we have a pattern only version so you can join the course without the fabric. Click here to join that version!
I loved doing the confident capsule collection, learned so much from collars, to pockets, from cardigans to trench coats. Having the time and date allocated really makes you set it aside from your daily life to sit with everyone else on the zoom and actually do some sewing. The patterns are fab, the fabric is top notch and great quality, I still wear makes I made last year on the course. There's no way I wasn't going to do the new ccc autumn/winter collection, I've been waiting for Jenny to come up with some kind of new course as I had done the DDD (DRAPE/DRAFT/DESIGN) course before the ccc one. The sew confident community is great, you know you can ask the daftest of questions (and I do) and get nothing but help from everyone. I may not always have time to sit and sew but I'll always be a sew confident member!
Diane, Past CCC Participant
I missed out on the challenge last time but did the CCC course which was great! Everything you need coming direct was amazing. I learned loads, made lots of clothes with patterns I wouldn’t have attempted or known where to start with before. Jenny led, encouraged and supported us brilliantly. A fantastic group of people on the course who all shared and helped each other along the way too! Loved it and totally recommend. Roll on the challenge!!!
Linda, Past CCC Participant
Loved getting my sew-jo back with this delightfully supportive class, everyone was so encouraging and friendly! And I learnt so much about fit and sizing, I’ve been stitching so much more since I finished, and recently realised I’d gone several months in only me-made bottom halves! I get so many comments on what I wear now and it’s because my clothes fit me properly for the first time ever, I’m happier and more comfortable and CONFIDENT as a result…. Next step, conquer the FBA, can’t wait to start back!
Clair, Past CCC Participant
I loved doing the CCC course last year. I would recommend it to anyone whether they are a beginner sewer or somebody coming back after many years like myself. I have to admit that I initially gasped at the price! But it is definitely worth it. I did all the tutorials and sewalongs in real time because I like having a deadline! I do think doing it during the long winter evenings is probably better for most people, but there is no pressure to do this as there is access to all the tutorials and videos forever. I made things that I never would have thought of making (trench coat!) learned to select the correct size and do pattern adjustments, learned about new fabrics as they were all chosen for us, learned new techniques on my sewing machine and over locker, and best of all, met a great group of online friends while stuck home alone during lockdown. The support from Jenny and the Facebook group is amazing, and it does what it says on the tin, inspires confidence.
