The 5 Shifts — From Sewist to Pattern Maker
The moment you began questioning patterns instead of just following them, you started becoming a pattern maker.
In this live masterclass, we’ll explore the five shifts that turn confusion into clarity and structure into confidence.
If you’re ready to stop guessing and start creating with intention — this is for you.
Real Pattern Maker Stories Panel
Hear directly from pattern makers who’ve been where you are—confused, curious, and ready for more. They’ll share what helped things click, what surprised them, and how their pattern-making confidence has grown.
Scholarship Announcement
We’ll be sharing a special scholarship opportunity for someone who’s ready to continue learning but could use a little extra support. This is our way of giving back and making sure access to pattern-making education feels possible, not out of reach.
Behind the Pattern — Live Demo + Academy Preview
After the masterclass, join me for a live pattern manipulation inside CLO3D — you’ll vote on what we create.
Then I’ll take you behind the scenes of the Digital Pattern Drafting Academy to show you how structure, support, and implementation actually work in real time.
No overwhelm.
No polished sales pitch.
Just clarity and transparency.
Closing Call 4 pm MST
We’ll wrap up the summit by answering final questions, reflecting on what you’ve learned, and talking through next steps—so you can move forward feeling clear, supported, and confident in your decision.
