THE PATTERNMAKING PROCESS.

  • 1. virtual coffee date

    Let’s talk the clothing of your dreams. Clients will start with a sketch, tech drawing and/or mood board of their unique styles. I’ll ask technical questions and offer advice on the best finishes for manufacturing. Letters of Agreement are available gratis upon request, or I’d be happy to sign one.

  • 2. Welcome, Friend!

    You’ll receive an estimate of your signature styles. Your estimate will outline a timeline, price range and breakdown of how long each style will take. Once accepted, you’ll receive contracts and a welcome packet. I charge a simple hourly rate and use HoneyBook for an easy, hassle-free way to pay.

  • 3. Toiles & live models

    Depending on the style, I will drape or draft your preliminary patterns in the best sample size possible, according to your size range. Sample patterns will be stitched into a toile (prototype) and fit onto a live model. For clients out of state, I use a photography camera for this live-fitting zoom call, so fit can be assessed by clients in fine detail. Pattern amendments will be made, as necessary, for flawless fit.

  • 4. Grading

    After the base patterns are complete, these patterns will be sent to the grader. I work with highly skilled graders with over 20+ years of experience, so every pattern in your size range fits like a dream.

  • 5. Sampling & Tech Packs

    A sample is made in final fabrication, professionally stitched and ready for your collection photography and production sample. A technical pack is created for worry-free manufacturing.
