About Hilary

I am a recognized expert in Patternmaking, Draping, High-End Sewing & Sample Making, Custom Grading, All Handwork Crafts, Custom Dyeing, Primitive Pleating, Millinery, and Corsetry skills. Please contact me if you are interested in learning some high-end couture techniques, either for a specific project you have lined up or just in general for fun!

About the lesson

By infusing traditional couture techniques with a modern sensibility, you can bring your garment design projects to life by using techniques that are (sadly) dying off due to mass production. With over 40 years of work under my belt in the Fashion Development and Costuming industries, I can teach you how to create your designs in a way that displays a distinctive old-school flair that will get your work noticed by professionals!

Hilary's response
Saffron is great! Very open and motivated to learn these skills. Luckily, she already has some pretty good sewing skills under her belt, so learning how to make her own patterns will go quickly and smoothly!

Hilary is the most knowledgeable and accessible sewing and patterning instructor I have ever come across. She does things in an old school way by hand which really make the concepts make sense. Whatever questions you ask, she will have the answer. She’s been doing this a long long time and really knows what she’s talking about. She’s also super nice!
