About me
I'm a Senior Pattern Cutter that has been working in the industry for 30+ years and have gained a considerable amount of knowledge and experience in that time, in a wide range of aspects including design, construction and pattern cutting. I'm highly self-motivated individual that's used to working with high accuracy in time and pressure sensitive situations in order to meet critical deadlines. I'm able to take on small or large projects either at my home studio or on-site.
In the past I've worked for companies such as
SSS Fashions (Senior pattern cutter) : Jersey & Woven - 1st patterns, developments, working with designers and alterations from fit comments
Dolly & Dannys / Lee Ann Fashions (Senior pattern cutter) : Jersey & Woven - 1st patterns, developments, working with designers and alterations from fit comments
Knitmania (Senior pattern cutter) : Jersey & Woven - 1st patterns, developments, working with designers and alterations from fit comments
Fashion8 (Senior pattern cutter) : Jersey & Woven - 1st patterns, developments, working with designers and alterations from fit comments
And also freelance pattern cutting and grading (manual and Gerber/Investronica) for companies such as:
Threads, K&A, Wu Clothing, Rebecca Black, Jeantex, Hottentot
I've also had the pleasure of passing on my knowledge at several teaching contracts for De Montfort University and Leicester College, teaching students drafting blocks, blocks to patterns, pattern cutting and basic grading.
Thanks for reading and I look forward to hearing from any potential clients! Bernie
