About Me

Having worked as a self-employed tailor/seamstress since 2021, I have developed a comprehensive understanding of garment construction, fit, and fabric behavior. This experience has equipped me with valuable skills that are directly transferable to both pattern drafting and quality control roles in the ready-to-wear space. Specifically, I can: 1. Create and Interpret Patterns: I can draft, alter, and adjust patterns to ensure accurate fits and efficient production. My tailoring background has given me a deep understanding of body measurements and garment fitting, which is essential when working on ready-to-wear patterns. 2. Ensure Garment Quality and Consistency: I have a keen eye for detail, especially when it comes to seams, stitching, fabric quality, and garment finishing. I can inspect garments for defects and ensure they meet the required standards before they are approved for production. 3. Problem-Solving in Production: As a tailor, I’ve encountered and solved various issues, such as sizing adjustments, fabric inconsistencies, and production delays. This has sharpened my ability to troubleshoot problems during the production process and implement practical solutions to maintain quality. 4. Understand Fabric and Material Properties: I have hands-on experience working with different fabrics, which allows me to assess their suitability for various designs and patterns. This knowledge is crucial in both pattern drafting and quality control to ensure that the final product meets the desired look, feel, and durability. 5. Collaboration with Production Teams: In my self-employed role, I’ve managed projects independently, but I’m also experienced in collaborating with clients, suppliers, and production teams. I understand the importance of clear communication and teamwork to ensure that garments meet specifications and deadlines. I am eager to apply my expertise in tailoring and garment construction to the ready-to-wear industry, where I can contribute to the precision and quality required in both pattern drafting and quality control."
