Patterns for your sewing classes or handmade brand
Sewing Teachers
We license our patterns to sewing teachers for face to face and live online classes so that you don’t have to worry about creating your own patterns for your sewing workshop and can concentrate on actually teaching your students. Whether you have on going classes or just the one off we accommodate for all needs. You’ll get access to our patterns at a discounted rate per student or full license whatever suits you best.
Firstly please see our published patterns here. When you know which patterns you want please email us here for the discounted rate or license.
Handmade, made to order or small brands
We love supporting handmade brands because we did it ourselves too so we want to provide our patterns for brands like yours so you can start selling your garments and not spend months and months perfecting the fit without anything to show for it. If you love the look of our comfy and vintage style lingerie and underwear sewing patterns then you can get a license for any pattern we sell on the digital pattern shop starting at only £80.

1:1 Sewing Pattern Development Services
Whether you have your own sewing pattern brand or are launching one, I can help your draft your unique patterns, grade your sizes and create your instruction manuals.
My Process
01 First Pattern Draft
First I create an initial pattern draft from either a fit sample, block pattern or one of your existing patterns.
02 Digital 3D Sample
I use CLO 3D to visualise the fit and style of the pattern on a digital mannequin that represents your dream customers measurements. Here I can evaluate whether I need to change the fit or style before we sample a real life sample. This helps to cut down sampling and unnecessary costs.
03 Physical Sampling
After we have signed off the digital sample, we’ll then move onto creating a physical sample with our in-house seamstress. We’ll use like for like fabrics for this process.
04 Fit Review
We’ll ship the sample to your fit model so they can wear it and test the fit, durability and comfort. I’ll assess the fit, finishings, and style via recorded videos or a video call for fit with my 15+ years experience in lingerie and swimwear fitting experience.
05 Amendments
If the fit or style needs to be improved, I’ll update the pattern to create the perfected fit and style.
06 Instruction Manual Creation
If needed I can create your instruction manual with either photos or CADs, written instructions and size guide with your branding.
07 Size Grading
After your sample size is fitted, I’ll then grade the rest of your sizes in your size chart so you customer can choose from a range of sizes to make.
08 Pattern Testing
Before finalising the pattern, I’ll then help you to organize pattern testing with a range of different sizes so you know that each size fits well and your testers are happy.
09 Pattern Format
Lastly, I’ll digitally format the pattern to a PDF document in A4/US Letter size and A0 size so sewers can easily print off their patterns to use.
What Past Clients have said…
From the first meeting we had Yelena understood my vision and through her amazing talent brought that vision to life. She made the whole process go very smoothly and I wouldn’t think twice about working together again on a new project. Thank you Yelena for all the hours you put into my pattern!

1:1 Consultancy Support for growing brands
Feel like your business isn’t where you want it to be and you want to scale your business without trial and error for years and years? Then I can help you with that. I have been building brands for over 15 years so I’ve done the trail and error for you.
This is for you if you’re:
- A pattern brand not making the sales you want to support yourself
- A teacher struggling to fill your classes or package your expertise into something that sells
- A handmade brand making sales but not the volume you know you’re capable of
- Wearing every hat in the business and haven’t had time to step back and see the bigger picture
This consultancy service will support you to:
- Build a business that could realistically replace your full-time income, not just bring in extra pocket money
- Launch your patterns so more than 5 people buy on launch day
- Stand out when other businesses create similar garments or patterns to yours
- Scale your business without relying on creating new product after new product
- Turn browsers into buyers instead of wondering why people aren’t converting
Whatever stage you’re at, I’ll help you find exactly where the gap is and how to close it, without guessing your way there.
