My name is Taree. I am a lover of fashion, a dreamer, pattern cutter and garment maker. I am the mother of Brody, my 23yr old son, and partner to my life long boyfriend Dan. We live by the beach on the Gold Coast in sunny Queensland, Australia.
In 2014 I took a hiatus from sewing and pattern making to focus on developing my career in fashion working for a great Aussie international fashion label. I was also burnt out from sewing and pattern making for others. Towards the end of 2018 I really started missing that hands on pattern making and sewing experience and at the same time discovered our amazing and vibrant maker community on Instagram. You guys have ignited my maker spirit!
It is my aim through this blog and my Instagram feed to inspire, educate and support makers in the craft of pattern making using blocks. And to also share garments made using commercial & indie patterns.
As a forever learner I am grateful for the amazing and supportive network of makers and creators that exist in this world. We are lucky to be linked through this beast called the World Wide Web! Each and every one of you inspire me everyday to be a better pattern cutter and garment maker. Thank you!
Co-Sew is a sewing collective run by 3 friends, who each have 8-10 years experience working in the fashion industry in Melbourne. We wanted to create a space were people who want to learn how to sew could come & join a community of sewers, whether they are hobbyist sewers or semi professional. Sewing can be quite an isolating hobby, therefore we have created a space were people can connect & grow their skill.
Through Co-Sew we want to highlight the importance of ethical & slow fashion, by teaching people a skill like sewing, more people will be able to alter & create their own clothing, ultimately slowing down the need for fast fashion.
Alongside this we also offer B2B alterations, small run manufacturing services & pattern making and sampling in our factory in Yarraville.
With over 20 years industry experience we can provide CAD pattern files and 3D toiles, graded patterns , full detailed specifications including production sketches.
Fittings can be arranged to be in-house or remotely if needed.
