Pattern Assembly


I've gotten to be a pro at assembling my own patterns over the last three years.  I print and cutout sometime up to 10 pattern drafts before I release a final design.

My Sewing Tools


I could spend hours walking through a sewing supply store.  Isles upon isles of tools, supplies, buttons, do-dads, gadgets, this and that…  So much stuff that only a warehouses could hold the amount of things that have been invented to help seamstresses make and create.

Valley Blouse . girls




This last year I've dedicated a major part of my time working to build my womens pattern line.  I was so buried in all things -busts, darts, slopes, hips, curves, blah blah- that I completely forgot how much I love making childrens clothes.  It's slightly easier to draft a childrens pattern, but that's not why.  Kids just look so cute in mommy made clothes.

CALLING ALL AFFILIATES



As many of you may know, over the last four months my family and I have relocated to the United States.  It’s been a whirlwind of an experience and I'm happy to say that we have settled nicely into our new home nestled in the quiet mountains in northern New Jersey.
