Julie Starr

Julie Starr is co-author of the award winning “The Tunic Bible” (C&T Publishing; 2016) and “A Stylish Guide to Classic Sewing” (C&T Publishing; 11/2019). Together with co-author Sarah Gunn, she presents fashion sewing workshops and wardrobe trunk shows throughout the U.S., encouraging women to make stylishly classic garments and join the vibrant community of others who share their passion to create.

Her professional career in custom luxury home building on Kiawah Island, SC provides a skill set which translates easily to classic garment design and construction. The natural beauty of South Carolina’s lowcountry beaches, tidal marsh and diverse flora and fauna, along with the history and charm of historic Charleston are reflected in her work and provide much of her design inspiration.

Julie is a favorite contributor to the 400,000+ global member website Sewing Pattern Review, where her clothing has won six consecutive annual awards based on member votes and has been profiled as their "Member in Focus".
