Pattern cutting can look like a confusing jumble of lines,

angles and tough looking drawings. It can also look scary, technical and like something reserved for only a special few.

I understand how this feels because I also felt the same way a few years back. I used to ask myself if I could ever understand pattern cutting. Because when I was in secondary school, anything that had to do with angles, construction of shapes and the likes of them in mathematics were topics I shied away from.

So you understand how I felt when I came across pattern cutting for the first time. Whew, I was literally terrified. But my desire to break the shackles of mediocrity I was restricted to with free hand cutting overpowered the fear I had for angles and construction.

I wanted to be able to cut all the unique clothing designs of my dreams. I wanted to be able to cut all the numerous designs I had saved on my phone. And I wanted to be able to deliver the kind of designs my clients wanted and ultimately make my business more profitable.

So I made a huge investment in myself and studied everything I needed to know about pattern cutting. And I can tell you for free that you can also be amazing at pattern making too.

With four unique design collections in my name and over five years experience in the field of fashion designing, I now teach tailors the fashion school standard of pattern cutting so they can make an unlimited number of clothing designs and ultimately make more money from their business.

So if you are at that point where you are no longer comfortable with the restrictions associated with your free hand cutting skills. And you are ready to invest in yourself and do away with the frustration of feeling incompetent when you come across complex designs. Pattern cutting is just the solution for you.

 

All you need is the right foundation and a basic knowledge of sewing. And you’ll be well on your way to making sewing patterns that can be used to produce an unlimited number of clothing designs for yourself and your clients.

A life where you can construct and deconstruct design patterns as you wish. A life where you can also make your own unique design patterns according to your inner creativity and inspiration.

And I’m here to take you seamlessly through that process through a series of detailed, step by step tutorials that will take you from beginner to pro in no time.

When I chose to work with you, I needed someone who would teach me everything pattern drafting to the very last detail. Because in the past, I used to depend a lot on YouTube videos which were sometimes hard for me to follow.

Because I didn’t have the foundational knowledge on pattern drafting. And the teachers usually didn’t go in-depth with explaining the techniques. So I was always left trying to figure things out on my own.

But your classes changed that for me as the video lessons were so detailed and structured in a way that it doesn’t rush the student. But gives them time to learn and also practice within the given time frame.

What stood out for me also was how you set time aside to engage with your students through the live calls.

Anyways, I’m proud to say that I can now pattern draft with confidence knowing fully well that my clothes will fit properly every time I sew.
