Pattern Drafting

I love pattern-drafting! I learned how to draft and adapt patterns when I studied Costume for my degree and have continued to use and develop this skill. It's so satisfying to be able to design and make exactly the garments you want! See below for some of my patterns and adaptations.

About Me

Sarah Magill
I am a lecturer in costume design and interpretation and love everything sewing-related! My first love is pattern drafting and dressmaking and my second historical dress, specifically that of the Second World War; much of my research focuses on that period. I hope you enjoy my posts :)
