I am looking for an experienced sewist to help develop sewing patterns with comprehensive making instructions. The ideal candidate will have expertise in patternmaking, draping, and creating toiles.
This project involves designing patterns for dresses, skirts, tops and other women's apparel. The selected freelancer will work closely with me to understand the designs and silhouettes I envision. They will then draft technical flat patterns and detailed step-by-step instructions for home sewers of varying experience levels. Creating accurate toile prototypes from the patterns will be an important part of the process. The freelancer must have good knowledge of pattern grading.
Most importantly, the freelancer should have a proven track record of designing successful apparel patterns that fit well and are intuitive to sew. This is an ongoing collaborative role perfect for an experienced indie patternmaker.
