Back to original languageAbout Noémie
Passionate about well-constructed garments, beautiful finishes, and sewing itself, I am a freelance pattern maker and seamstress with enriching experience in various fields: from luxury to accessible fashion.
After 5 years in the demanding world of luxury bridal and haute couture at the Christophe-Alexandre Docquin workshop, I continued my career as a freelancer. I had the opportunity to collaborate with different brands before becoming the lead pattern maker for the brand Petit Patron, specializing in sewing patterns for the whole family.
There, I developed a wide range of patterns (clothing and accessories), combining attention to detail, pedagogical approach, and adaptability for all sewing levels.
What particularly drives me is the precision of the gesture, the technicality of pattern making, but also the uniqueness of each piece, especially in the world of wedding dresses, where each creation is unique and carries a strong emotional weight.
💡 My expertise:
Pattern construction (women's, men's, children's clothing, accessories)
Haute couture & custom pattern making
Grading, morphological adjustments
Reading and interpreting sketches or technical sheets
📬 Always open to new creative collaborations in pattern making, pattern drafting, or teaching sewing skills.
