Pattern Making Simplified
If you feel overwhelmed by the process, don’t worry. You are in good hands.
To you, clothing isn’t just your passion, but your business.
You could spend hours drawing and draping, conceptualizing and re-imagining the next big idea. You’re always thinking about your customers, especially when it comes to making your company more size-inclusive. Your garment line is more than your business — it’s your life’s work..
I get it, because your garment line is my life’s work, too. While you obsess over color choices and fabric, I obsess over drape and fit. I think through every detail to make sure your garments fit every size perfectly. I spend hours troubleshooting how to turn your brilliant idea into reality. We both imagine your customer trying on and falling in love with your clothes — so much that they come back season after season, year after year.
We make an exceptional team, don’t we?

Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of patterns do you make?
I offer professional pattern making services for ready-to-wear women’s, men’s, children’s and plus size apparel. Making your apparel line size inclusive is my specialty.
Where are you located?
My studio is based in Hendersonville, North Carolina, USA, but all pattern making is done remotely. Isn’t the internet awesome?!
How long does pattern making take?
Pattern making is billed per hour, with most projects taking around two hours. Pattern turn-around time is roughly 2 – 3 weeks. If that feels fast, that’s because it is. I limit the number of apparel brands that I work with so that each one can be prioritized.
Do you make samples?
No. However, the patterns you receive will be easy to use and comprehensive for your sample-making procedures, whether you make the sample yourself and have your factory do it.
Can you make me a custom garment?
No. My services are for mass production.
Can you work with my existing files?
Absolutely, as long as they have a .DXF, .PDS, or .AI file extension.
