Megan, designer and maker behind Stitched Form

A note from Megan.

I’m the designer and maker behind Stitched Form. I create and test every project, develop the patterns, and turn the process into clear, step-by-step guidance for modern French cartonnage.

I created the Quick Start Guide to help make the craft feel approachable from the beginning, from choosing fabric and tools to deciding what to make first.
