Hi, I’m LuLu! Welcome to my world!
I’m LuLu, a professional Patternmaker for TV, film, and private clients. I’ve been sewing since the age of seven, and it’s honestly all I ever want to do. I took a slight detour in college to get my Bachelor’s in Biology, but then went on to get my Masters in Costume Design and Technology from San Diego State University. Since graduating, I’ve worked for costume shops in several live theaters; worked on live and pre-recorded television, feature films and commercials; and now I do tailoring for high-end private clients- all while having the time of my life sewing for myself! Anyhoo, I think I have one of the coolest jobs in the world, so I’d just wanna share it with everyone else!
My intent in creating this site is to share what I’m creating with the world, even if the final product never leaves my office! I’d like to share my tips and tricks, uplift other designers and creators, and give my readers a better understanding of what goes into all of the handcrafted items you’ll see on my page.
While I love sewing in all forms, I have had a passion for quilting ever since I was a small girl. I think this helped to build my pieced montage/textural aesthetic. I hope you love reading about all my adventures and explorations in the wide world of sewing!
