    PATTERN CUTTING HISTORY � full time and free-lance pattern cutting from 2010 to 2004

    Full time creative pattern cutter working XXXX women�s and children�s wear; March �07 to June �10

    I combined the creative pattern cutting skills of modelling and draping with flat pattern cutting for first patterns. I worked from sketches and photographs, as well as vintage and bought garments to the fit of the company�s minimum measurements and finishing standards. I worked closely with each designer offering thoughts and solutions to ensure the best results at first sampling stage.
    I used manual pattern cutting skills to create blocks for soft woven separates and structured wovens to ensure the correct fit for the new collections.
    I was responsible for seeing through allocated sketches from first samples to pp sealers working closely to the critical path and liaising with designers, sample machinist, garment technicians and fellow pattern cutters: discussing different cutting options, fitting of samples and amending patterns as necessary.
    I created garment specs for factories to a high standard that are appropriate for fitting and production. I also measured and checked factory samples against patterns and gave feedback to factories; issue documentation on make-details and construction specific to each garment.

    I used Lectra system to digitise patterns and prepare pattern for grading
