Beginners Pattern Cutting Lessons

Geri is a senior pattern cutter with over 12 years of experience working in luxury fashion for brands like The Vampire’s Wife, Victoria Beckham, and Pringle Scotland. Her love for making clothes started at a young age—one of her fondest memories is sitting on the sofa as a child, doing cross-stitch with her mum. That early passion led her to study Fashion Design at Nottingham Trent University, where she discovered her talent for pattern cutting.

Through working in industry, Geri noticed how many people struggled with the transition from education to professional pattern cutting. This inspired her to create Pattern Wiz—a space for students and professionals to build strong technical foundations, grow in confidence, and bring their creative visions to life. Her approach makes pattern cutting feel simple, logical, and enjoyable, helping students understand the why behind the techniques so they can problem-solve and adapt their skills across different styles.

She works with a wide range of students, including fashion students looking to sharpen their skills, professional pattern cutters aiming to advance their careers, hobbyists who want to create their own clothes, and designers developing their first collection. Geri offers 1:1 and 2:1 mentoring, as well as workshops like her Dress Block Masterclass—an 8-hour session where students create a perfectly fitting block from scratch. 

This foundational skill is essential for achieving a flawless fit in garment construction, whether for personal projects or professional work.

For anyone looking to refine their craft or start from scratch, Geri provides expert guidance and a supportive learning experience.
