Size Inclusive PDF Sewing Patterns

Dee, the creative force behind Patterns by. Dee and Dee's Designs. As a Licensed Cosmetologist with over 30 years of experience in the DMV (D.C. Maryland Virginia) area, she specializes in both natural hair care and styles for chemically treated hair. Born and raised in Maryland, Dee's journey into sewing began in her teenage years at Oxon Hill Middle School during Home Economics, where she learned the craft from her Grandmother.

Despite not having formal fashion schooling, Dee is primarily a self-taught sewer who enjoys diving into designer books and picking up various techniques from YouTube. In 2015, her passion for sewing was reignited after purchasing a tutorial from Mimi G. Styles on how to sew a Regal Maxi Skirt w/Sash, which captivated her completely.

When the pandemic struck in 2020, Dee took a break from her hair braiding and styling services to devote her time to sewing. She has since actively participated in the sewing community on platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook. In 2023, she furthered her skills by learning to draft clothing patterns online at the Pattern Making Academy (PMA) by Mimi G. Styles, under the instruction of Tricia 'The Pattern Nerd.' After mastering pattern drafting, she taught herself how to Pattern Grade in 2024, allowing her designs to reach a broader audience.

Now recognized as an Indie PDF Digital Pattern maker, keep a close eye on Dee as she is undoubtedly one to watch in the fashion industry, especially with her ties to my dee dee's discount clothing!
