Radiant Home Studio | Sewing Patterns & Surface Design

Radiant Home Studio

Hello! I’m Sara Curtis.

I started Radiant Home Studio in 2013 as a way to share creativity, beauty, sewing inspiration, and to connect with this amazing creative community. Community has become such a huge part of what I do: as a community manager in a surface pattern design course, connecting in my local community, and encouraging love & community building through my products.

My parents often took spontaneous road trips to quaint little villages and some busy big cities. Our travels (which I didn’t always appreciate) cultivated a passion for beauty as we studied the scenery, architecture, and art found on those excursions.

I began my journey into graphic design as I learned to create sewing patterns. I fell in love with color and pattern, which inspired me to learn surface pattern design.

I’m a maker. I make beautiful patterns for products, including fabric, children’s wall art, stationery, and other home goods. I sew and create sewing patterns for you!


Sara Curtis is the founder of Overflow & Co. Based in Durham, NC, Sara lives with her husband of 20 years and their 7 children. She loves connecting with new people and exploring all of the great local food and shops in Durham, but let’s be honest, can also be a bit of a homebody. 

Sara’s sewing patterns have been showcased in multiple sewing magazines and craft books, and her pattern designs and illustrations have been licensed by Clothworks (quilting fabric), Greenbox Art + Culture (children’s wall art), Mermaid Straw (drinkware), Minted & Target (greeting cards & stationery).

Sara especially loves working with makers, small businesses, and eco-friendly brands that value community, connection, generosity, and hope. Please reach out if you would like to collaborate!

I’ve been fighting to find my creative spark in the midst of personal struggle. This is one of the few things I’ve managed to create from fresh doodles all the way to pattern. 

As always, I’m looking for beauty in the small things, but it has been much harder this past year. I miss the creative flow that comes from easy days and a clear head. 

I’m learning to process loss (of many communities, of my identity, of plans, and more) and I’m grateful for people like @kjramseywrites @sarahbsouthern @katecbowler and @hilaryrushford that make a place for loss and hope to coexist. 😘
