      Production pattern maker

      Production pattern maker for women’s missy dresses using Tuka tech computer pattern making software. Created patterns from sketch and measurements by utilizing established blocks, creation of new blocks, and occasionally rubbing off samples to get a desired fit. Draping was required for certain styles. Muslin's were later converted into a paper pattern and then into a computerized pattern. Was responsible for producing 10 to 15 patterns a week. Attended fittings two times a week where I took notes, made proper adjustments and finalized design, spec, and construction details for production. I was able to increase pattern production by 15% by being efficient, keeping fittings to a minimum of 2 fit samples while consistently meeting weekly deadlines. Detail oriented and able to work well with others. Well organized and able to work well under pressure in a fast-paced environment. Show less
