Patterns By. Dee / dee's Designs

Dee is a Licensed Cosmetologist with over 30+ years of experience in the DMV (D.C. Maryland Virginia) area. 

Born and raised in  Maryland, she was introduced in her teenage years to sewing in Home Economics at Oxon Hill Middle School but was also taught by her Grandmother.

By not attending any fashion schools, she's more of a self taught sewer. She reads designer books and will randomly pick up different techniques off of YouTube.

She picked sewing back up in 2015 when she purchased Mimi G. Styles tutorial of how to sew a Regal Maxi Skirt w/Sash. She was hooked after that.

When the pandemic hit in 2020, she stopped styling hair, to pursue her sewing. Since then, she joined the sewing community on Instagram, TikTok and FaceBook. 

In 2023 she wanted to learn how to draft clothing patterns online at the Pattern Making Academy (PMA) by Mimi G. Styles and taught by Tricia "The Pattern Nerd". Once she got the hang of drafting patterns she taught herself in 2024 how to Pattern Grade so that people could  start wearing her creations. 

She is now a Indie PDF Digital Pattern maker so keep an eye on this emerging
designer, as she is certainly one to watch!
