From the age of 10, Sarah knew she wanted to be a fashion designer. This dream led her to pursue degrees in both business and fashion design. She then worked as a footwear designer while simultaneously building her patternmaking business, Les Perlines. After four years of working both jobs, she decided now was the time to take her business full-time. Sarah is a fashion designer, footwear designer, and the founder of Les Perlines, a sewing pattern brand that blends feminine and trend driven designs with thoughtful craftsmanship. With a technical degree in fashion design and a bachelor's degree in both business and fashion design, Sarah brings a unique mix of creative expertise and industry knowledge to her work. Her journey in fashion began at a young age—taught to sew by her grandmother, she knew by the time she was 10 that she wanted to be a fashion designer, even if she didn’t yet know what that truly meant. That passion led her to a career in footwear design, where she worked full-time while simultaneously building Les Perlines, developing thoughtfully crafted sewing patterns that empower makers to create beautiful, well-fitting garments. Through her Pattern Lab series and engaging Instagram content, Sarah shares insights into pattern development, sewing techniques, and the creative process, inspiring fellow makers to bring their visions to life.
