This course is designed to be taken at your own pace. Inside the course, we get clear on what the workflow will look like so that you can integrate it into your unique life.
What's inside the course?
7 modules, 31 lessons, and a supportive community of designers just like you. Plus I've designed editable templates and forms for you so that you're never starting from scratch and you don't have to reinvent the wheel.
Who is this course not for?
If you're not willing to dedicate time and effort into your business, this isn't the place for you. You will only get out as much as you put in.
This course also does not teach pattern drafting. Rather, we take your existing pattern and turn it into a PDF sewing pattern (plus a whole lot more). If you want to learn patternmaking and grading, I highly recommend the Confident Pattermaking and Grading course!

What else do I need to take this course?
You will need Adobe Illustrator (no prior experience necessary!) to design illustrations, and to format your patterns for printing and projecting.
We use the free version of Canva to design your pattern instructions, but you can also use Adobe Illustrator if you prefer.
For editing video tutorials, we use iMovie, but you can also use other editing software such as Adobe Premiere Pro.

Meet your instructor, Jess!
I’m a sewing pattern designer, business mentor, and someone who loves to sew clothes!
After falling in love with sewing and designing, I opened a made-to-order sustainable clothing brand. A few years and a big move later, I realized that I could only sew so many clothes with my own two hands and it was time to pivot my business.
Although I loved sewing for customers, it wasn't sustainable. I needed to figure out a way to make money that didn’t involve me working all the time. If this sounds familiar, you’re in the right place.
I learned patternmaking and grading through the Confident Patternmaking and Grading course, which I now teach alongside Victoria and can’t recommend enough. Pattern to Market and CPMG are truly the perfect pair. Through these courses you can go from having no patternmaking skills, to being a full time and thriving patternmaker.
If you’ve made it all the way to the bottom of this page, it’s because you’re ready to deep dive into your creative passion and change your life. Whether you choose to do that with me or all on your own, I see you and I believe in you.
