Learn how to make, mend, and alter your own clothes in a size-inclusive professional studio space!

Hello! My name is Ruby. I am a professional fashion designer and patternmaker.

I have over a decade of experience freelancing across various facets of the fashion and costume industries, and have found my true calling in teaching others how to sew and achieve a flawless custom fit.

I offer a range of sewing and patternmaking workshops in my Philadelphia-based studio, as well as an online course in CLO3D!

CLO3D for Custom Fit: A 12 Week Beginner-Friendly Course

Join me in September for the next round of my online course for both professionals and hobbyists. Learn to test design concepts and build “virtual” muslins before cutting into fabric using 3D design simulation software. This exciting new technology reduces textile waste, expands custom fit capabilities, and is a game-changer for the fashion industry!

Join us for a weekend Sloper Workshop!

MORE DATES COMING SOON: Drape and draft a set of sloper or “basic block” patterns custom-fit to your body’s unique proportions in one weekend! Participants will complete a first draft of a bodice, sleeve, skirt, and pant using a unique, sculptural method that involves minimal body measurements.
