Bring a sewing pattern to lifeHave you found a sewing pattern, vintage or contemporary, that you would love to be made into a garment? I can advise on fabric choice and then use your pattern to make a perfectly fitting garment for any occasion.

Copy an old favouriteHave you have a beloved garment that is now looking a little worn, is too big, too small or you would just like another the same? I can recreate the original paper pattern using your existing garment in order for it to be made again.

Something differentWant something different from anything available ready made? I can work with you to create a unique garment that is perfectly fitted to you. I can work from images, ideas or a bit of both! Together we can design your ideal outfit.

When creating any made to measure garment, the first step is the initial design and fabric consultation. Following this I will then take your measurements and produce a toile (mock up) of the final garment in a similar fabric. By doing this, I am able to check the fit and make any necessary alterations before the garment is cut in the final fabric. This process also allows some flexibility in the design as it is at this stage that garment details can be changed, if required. Once the design and fit is finalised, the garment will be constructed in the final fabric.
Each person's journey through the process is different but, as a general guide, a minimum of four appointments is usually required from initial consultation to final garment fitting.
