Sarah Corley

Freelance pattern maker specializing in pattern making, drafting, and textile prototyping. For over 4 years, I have been assisting ready-to-wear brands and sewing pattern companies in developing their collections, from conception to the final product.

I worked for over three years at the ready-to-wear brand Sessùn as a pattern maker, where I gained solid experience in industrial processes, production monitoring, and the creation of technical dossiers and spec sheets.

Since 2022, I have been working as a freelancer and collaborating with various entities in France:

– Ready-to-wear brands

– Sewing pattern brands

– Independent designers

– Workshops and boutiques

I am also the founder of the sewing pattern brand Café Cousettes, for which I handle all the pattern making: creation of women's and men's patterns, grading, prototypes, technical dossiers, and complete explanatory booklets, designed to be educational and accessible.

Skills

Software

I work with Lectra Modaris V8 R3, a reference software in the ready-to-wear industry, as well as with the Adobe suite (Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop).

Organization & Collaboration

I work primarily remotely, while being available for occasional travel if the project requires it.

Autonomous, organized, and attentive, I place great importance on the quality of work, understanding each brand's needs, and respecting technical and creative constraints.

Do not hesitate to contact me to discuss your project and define together a support tailored to your needs in pattern making and product development.
