about: I am the daughter of a home-economics teacher and was interested in fashion at an early age because my mother made clothing for our family. I observed her work throughout the construction process and became interested in sewing very early.I studied at the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising in the 1980's.I taught pattern making at West Valley College in Saratoga CA. in the 1990's.I decided to write my pattern making textbooks after repeated requests by my dear students. I am so grateful for all of the people who influenced me and encouraged me in my career in the fashion industry.I now have my own company, Lori Ann Design, and am happy to offer pattern making and sewing services online.
