Job Description

Seeking Freelance Pattern Maker and/or Grader (U.S.-Based)
I’m looking for an experienced freelance pattern maker and/or grader to support ongoing development projects. This role is project‑based with flat‑rate pay, and has the potential to grow into a full‑time position if the partnership is a strong fit.
Requirements:
  • Minimum 3 years of experience drafting patterns from technical drawings, reference samples, or detailed specs
  • Proficiency in Optitex
  • Availability for video‑call handoffs during normal business hours
  • Based in the United States
Bonus Skills:
  • Ability to grade patterns across all categories
  • Draping experience
  • Digitizing experience
Compensation:
Flat‑rate, project‑by‑project basis.
To apply, please provide your resume, cover letter, examples of relevant work, and a pricing breakdown showing your rates for patterns and grading across multiple garment types (simple, moderate, and complex). Annie Masarie has spent her life immersed in the craft of garment construction — from childhood afternoons beside her mother’s sewing machine in Colorado to the fast‑paced studios of New York’s Garment District. She earned her degree in Apparel Design and Production at Colorado State University before heading to NYC, where an internship with Diane von Furstenberg sparked her fascination with pattern logic and technical design.

Her early career took her through Manhattan’s grading and marking world and into an in‑house patternmaking role at a high‑end manufacturer, where she worked across dozens of brands and learned the full arc of development and production. In 2014, Annie launched her freelance practice, building a reputation for patterns that balance creativity, precision, and a deep respect for the sewer’s craft.

Relocating to Nashville in 2018, Annie recognized a growing need for comprehensive development support. Over time, she expanded her solo practice into a full studio offering sourcing, tech packs, sampling, grading, and production guidance. She is particularly passionate about inclusive sizing and the technical nuance required to create garments that fit beautifully across the size spectrum.

Annie’s philosophy is simple: ask questions, gather data, and collaborate generously. She believes great patternmaking is equal parts math, craft, and communication — and she brings that mindset to every project.
