About India

I’m a Soho-based womenswear pattern cutter with over 15 years of experience in the fashion industry. I’ve worked across luxury, high street, and costume—cutting patterns for brands like Vivienne Westwood, Erdem, JW Anderson, and currently Burberry. My experience also includes Topshop, Urban Outfitters, and various film and TV productions.

This summer, I’m opening up seasonal 1-to-1 mentorship sessions tailored for fashion students and independent makers who want to get hands-on with pattern cutting—whether you’re brushing up rusty skills or finally recreating that favourite, worn-to-death garment you can’t part with.

If sewing is your thing but pattern cutting feels like a mystery, I can teach you how to copy your favourite pieces and turn them into patterns you can rework, remake, and rewear. Whether you’re eyeing something in a shop or rescuing something already in your wardrobe, we’ll focus on practical skills to help you replicate and adapt designs to your own fit and style.

Sessions take place on Saturdays in my central Soho studio and are best suited for intermediate to advanced students (BA or MA level) or confident home sewers who want to deepen their technical knowledge. My approach is honest, collaborative, and grounded in real industry standards—always with a focus on creativity and construction.

This summer, we can focus on recreating and adapting your favourite garments - whether it’s an old piece you love and want to remake, or something from a shop you’re keen to replicate and make your own.

If sewing is your strength but pattern cutting feels a bit rusty, I’ll guide you step-by-step to create accurate patterns so you can rework and rewear with confidence.

If you’re aiming for industry standards, I’ll help you refine your patterns, construction, and workflow to meet professional expectations. - ideal for students preparing for final collections, internships, or freelance work.

If you’re a confident home sewer, sessions can be more relaxed but still focused - offering clear, creative support to help you bring your ideas to life with better fit, finish, and technical understanding.

Each session is tailored to your needs and can include:

- Copying and recreating garments you already own

-  Translating your designs into balanced, technically sound patterns

- Flat pattern cutting and draping techniques

- Solving fit and construction challenges

- Communicating ideas to pattern cutters or manufacturers

- Understanding fabric choices and their impact on silhouette and finish

- Refining finishing techniques for a polished look

- Learning industry standards for sampling and production

- Developing time management strategies for projects or deadlines

- Working from sketch, sample, or toile to final garment 

Whether you’re preparing something professional or personal, I bring over 15 years of high-end and high-street fashion industry experience to support your project - always with a collaborative, practical, and creatively open approach.
