IMPORTANT!. Click ➡️HERE on the step by step instruction on how to take your measurement.  This is the method i use for developing my paper pattern.  Please make sure you use this method when taking your measurement.  

For made-to-measure patterncutting service click ➡️HERE.

Remember to always use 100% cotton fabric for this design if you want to complete the construction within one day.  You will enjoy your sewing and you can enjoy your very own MCO Jacket on the very next day.

This jacket was created during lockdown, MCO 3.0, thus the name MCO Jacket.  The MCO Jacket is drafted using the semi fitted jacket foundation of the Muller & Sohn Patternmaking System.

The actual construction of the above sample took about one day but the pattern drafting and toile making took way longer than that.  Tweaking the pattern consumed the majority of hours and resources.   My patterncutting enables any sewing enthusiasts, regardless of their sewing skill, to successfully complete the construction of the jacket within one day, using a basic sewing machine.

*excluding shipping and please allow 14 to 21 days after order confirmation is received, it could be longer due to the MCO.

Hello in 2021

 Yes, we have been absent since 2018.  A lot has happened that forced me to put my classes on hold.

We are currently working on our own fashion collection and we are hopeful that there will be more offerings to those who love to make their own clothes. Watch this space.

the anna 6-panel long skirt SK001-1

we love making this skirt. it is a long skirt with 6 panels.  it gently skims the hips and flares as it is about to hit the knees.

instead of a waist band, we have applied facings that is lightly interfaced.  so that it hugs the waist and the upper hip comfortably.  not too snug, not too loose.  and we use the lapped zipper installation.  it is our​ favourite zipper installation method.

interested to learn to make this skirt for yourselves or for your loved ones.  watch this space.  a class (SK001 and SK001-1) on this skirt is coming your way soon.

module 1, phase 2, dr002, Studio-One @Puchong, 25april2017

during this class nadia and rose, made the necessary adjustments to their basic dress block.  both nadia and rose need to shorten the back waist length while rose needs to shorten her front waist length before they can proceed to draft the basic sleeve block for their individual pattern.

it was intense with  multiple parameters to juggle in order to make the adjustments.  ha ha...berasap ya nadia.  but i know she enjoys the challenge.  and i learned a few thing from her too.  with rose, we ended up with mathematical equations such as x=y+1...because narrative was too wordy.....ha ha.  it was fun.

apparently, they need more time to tackle the adjustments.  and that is ok.  they are booking another additional 2 hours on module 1 phase 2, dr002 next week.
