🧵 Pattern Sewing FAQ
You choose the pattern. I cut, sew, and tailor it for fit.
What is pattern sewing?
Pattern sewing means I construct a garment using an existing commercial sewing pattern (paper or PDF). I do not design garments or draft patterns from scratch.
Can I send a photo and have you recreate it?
Not from a photo alone. I do not recreate exact garments from pictures. If you can provide a commercial pattern that matches the look, I can review it.
Can you help me choose a pattern?
Yes. I can suggest or review commercial sewing patterns to help you choose an appropriate option.
What do I need to provide for pattern sewing?
Please provide:
- The sewing pattern (PDF or paper)
- Your size selection
- Your event or deadline date
Fabric: Fabric is selected and handled by me to ensure proper quality and suitability.
Is a consultation required for pattern sewing?
Yes. A paid consultation is required before booking pattern sewing services.
How many pattern sewing projects do you take?
Pattern sewing availability is limited each month to maintain quality and turnaround time.
