Specialties

I am a freelance fashion designer, specializing in made to order clothing for men and women, costumes, bridal and special occasion clothing. I am available for professional pattern making, sample making and production services for beginning designers and new labels. If you are a student looking to learn how to make clothing for yourself or professionally, I am available for private lessons as well. I do not do basic alterations, I am categorized under alterations and sewing due to the lack of categories available for my services.
