Design and Development

Developing women’s clothing for small to mid-size local businesses, from concept to actualization. This process requires in person meetings so that communication is clear and client gains a hands on approach to the development process of their designs. This service provides a sample garment and a set of paper patterns for each design, which can be sent to the client’s pattern digitizer and factory for size grading and production.

Contract Sewing

Cutting, sewing, finishing existing garment designs/patterns, for production, for small local businesses. I’m a one woman sewing studio, so my space and production capacity is limited. However, I do fill a need for small clothing companies who need more detail oriented sewing services on a smaller scale. Because I am a small business myself, I understand the importance of each garment made, and have a keen eye for detail.

Sewing Tutorials

I have been sewing most of my life, and have many years of experience working in the fashion industry as a designer. Along with my fashion design background, I have also worked in production management, training and working with sewists, and at bridal ateliers, where I custom fit wedding dresses for alterations. All of these experiences come together in providing online sewing content and step by step tutorials, where viewers can learn to sew at home.
