The Chicago Pattern Maker
Welcome!
Thanks for visiting and getting to know me! I am a freelance pattern maker and product developer in the Chicago area, with over 10 years experience in the fashion industry. I am very passionate about the product development process, and I enjoy working closely with my clients and brands on their patterns and prototyping. It's where my skills shine, and I love collaborating with designers to create beautiful and functional products. I consider myself to be an ''analytic creative'', a resourceful problem solver, who engineers great sewn products. I'm also very passionate about ethical manufacturing, especially within the US. We have so many wonderful resources around us. I look forward to working with you!
best,
Xochil Herrera Scheer
