“At 45 I got a calling saying I was in the wrong profession . . . .”

“Soon, I realized I wanted to create different things and challenge myself in the design area . . . . . That is why I started On the Cutting Floor, an online pattern store in which I provide free sewing patterns for beginners and intermediate level sewists.”

“ Grandma was patternmaking teacher in Japan. Mom used to be a seamstress. Dad was a mechanic. So here they are — the passion for clothing, computer, sewing, machines, drawing, patternmaking and Moulage (Draping).”

“I started making clothes as a child in primary school . . . . ”

“Discovering PatternMaker was a big step towards improving my production and skill. I saved so much time.”

“For me it was love at first sight. Someone had already invented what I wanted! I was especially attracted to Macrogen.”

“I came across PatternMaker and was hooked immediately.”
