About Me
I am an experienced creative pattern cutterdesigner and garment technologist working freelance from home in Yorkshire. I have worked in the clothing industry over 20 years as pattern cutterdesigner of ladies wear, and menswear, uniforms and theatre costumes.
I have a good knowledge of garment construction and manufacturing methods. I communicate well and I have found my ability to problem solve invaluable in my career.
I have the ability to make toiles of the patterns if required and also provide specifications (inc. sketches, manufacturing processes, size charts) for use in factories abroad should this become necessary.
I can work remotely with companies in London and other areas of the UK.
I am open to travelling for occasional visits to help the communication process.
I am happy to look at one off projects or larger long term working relationships.
Areas covered: Anywhere. Designs can be sent to me by email and I can post patterns to recipient. Garments can be sent to me by post to work from also.

Sally worked excellently on the project and I will use her again. She is very good at grasping the clients idea and then transferring this into a commercially viable pattern.
