DIgitizing:

My old digitizer, I no longer have.

These days I recreate any hand-made patterns right on screen.

Plotter:

My old plotter, I no longer have (it was faithful for over 20 years!).

Most clients these days use digital files (changing times!)

The rare times I need something plotted I use a company (3 miles away) who will gladly print for me.

An infant mannequin hanging with an adult pant pattern.

From newborn, through “months”, toddlers, youth and adults (any size).

My main work area, PCA, Manchester TN, late ’90s. A very handy light table!
