Pattern Adjustments

If your pattern needs to change, we can change it, no matter who drafted it.

Same pattern, new plan

Styles evolve. A shirt becomes a dress, a jacket needs a different collar, a pant has to sit higher. We take the pattern you have and adjust it so it still sews together cleanly.

Send the pattern on paper or as a file, along with notes or a sketch of what should change, and we quote the work.

Pattern Adjustments questions

Will you adjust a pattern someone else made?

Yes. We check it first so the changes start from an accurate base.

Can you add a pocket or change a collar?

Yes, and we update the matching pieces so everything still lines up.

Have a pattern that needs changing?

Call or email with the garment type, your references, the sizes you need and your timeline. We reply with a price and next steps.
