Using specialized pattern software, my clients’ measurements are entered into the software to create patterns drafted to their specific builds.  A test garment called a sloper is then created to ensure the measurements are accurate, and if needed the measurements are tweaked.  My client then has complete design control over each garment, selecting sleeve, neckline and other design elements.  If requested, I then use specialized embroidery software to add embellishments to the garment.  This can be specific designs, logos, lace, or other requests.   Garments created are jackets, dresses, skirts, bridal attire, pants and children’s wear.  Awards and recognition include Minnesota State Fair Sweepstakes Champion twice for Infants and Toddlers, multiple first place ribbons in Women’s, Infants and Toddlers and Children’s division categories.  Experience includes teaching the embroidery software for various sewing machine dealers, teaching sewing classes and machine classes.
