Demystify the art of pattern cutting and create sewing patterns as unique as you!

Hello, I'm Kate!

Professional pattern cutter, long time sewer and your new pattern cutting teacher.

With over 10 years of industry experience, I’ve been lucky enough to see my work on huge international stages.

I’m talking Royals, red carpets, catwalk shows, billboards and so much more!

I’ve spent over a decade honing my skills, and now I want to share them with you, so that you can create your dream clothes too!

I am a firm believer that anyone can learn the tricks of the trade and make their own patterns. Stick around and I’m sure you’ll agree with me!

MY APPROACH

Get Creative With Your Sewing Patterns

Sewing is great, but pattern cutting is where the real fun begins!

I get it, you've been told pattern cutting is a big, mathematical beast and now you're feeling intimidated and a little confused.

I'm here to tell you that pattern cutting is fun and creative, and there's nothing to be scared about!

Yes, there is some maths when you're drafting blocks. But I'm here to guide you through the whole process.

From drafting blocks, to fitting, amending your patterns and creating new exciting designs...we can break it down into small steps and work through them together.

Think of me as your new sewing and pattern cutting pal, but with the added benefit of a decades worth of professional training!

Draft Your

Custom Blocks

Every new pattern starts with a block (or sloper, for my American friends)

Draft yourself a set of custom blocks, using your unique measurements to create blocks as unique as you are.

Learn How To Fit

Your Sewing Projects

Fitting and amending a garment is a fine art, and one that requires knowledge and practice.

But I'm here to help!

Dive into my decade long industry experience and put my knowledge to use in your projects.


Enjoyment, education and community is what I experieinced with this Project Patterns membership and Creative Shirts Course.

Kate is supportive, well organized, and a generous teacher. She has much knowledge to share with her students. The community was welcoming and encouraging, not to mention inspiring.

We worked to gether to design, draft and construct our projects. The journey of taking a project from the very beginning of a design right through to a finished garment was a unique course experience with each step flowing into the next, culminating in a finished garment and knowledge to continue creating.
