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 is very patient, helpful, and has so much experience in sewing and pattern making. I feel very supported and honored to be learning from her. Thank you so much Hilary!
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!
I highly recommend Hilary!!!! She is extremely knowledgeable and has many years of experience….she is definitely an EXPERT in all things sewing and pattern making!!!!!
