About
Pattern Drafting & Sewing Expert — 16 Years Experience
I started my journey in fashion right after high school and have been immersed in the industry ever since. Over the years, I’ve developed a strong foundation in pattern drafting and garment construction, working across both womenswear and menswear — from everyday ready-to-wear to evening and red carpet pieces.
My passion is not only about creating beautiful garments, but also about sharing what I know. I love guiding people who are interested in fashion and helping them build real, professional skills in pattern making and sewing.
I teach from the foundation up, with a focus on clean structure, proper fit, and understanding the logic behind each step. A core part of my teaching is helping you develop your own custom block — a personal base pattern you can use again and again for future designs.

Very happy with Tommy’s work he’s very professional & very friendly. I gave him about 8 or 9 pieces of garments to alter & he did an impeccable job I must say & for a reasonable price as well!! He definitely knows what he’s doing. If you need any alterations for your clothes don’t hesitate to send him a message he’s the best! Make him your number one choice for anything tailor related. The MUI MUI you see is one example he worked on. It’s was a very loose fit & he made it just right for my girl. She was very happy. I’m bringing him more stuff soon!!

I am so glad I found Petit Seamer! Not only did he respond immediately, but when I took my dress in to be hemmed the next day, he finished it within an hour. He even steamed it for me! I’ll definitely be recommending his services to any of my friends who need alterations.

Talked to Tommy at first to see if he’d be the person to take care of my Tailor needs. I found Tommy very professional and willing to work with me.
I gave Tommy a suit and a pair of pants to alter for me, he did. The fit is perfect and I mean perfect. I would refer this Gentleman to anyone.

Tomy is wonderful from start to finish. Super professional, personable, and knowledgeable about his craft. He took his time assessing my garment and coming up with a plan on how to make the alterations. Thank you for a lovely experience. Will definitely be coming back.

I needed a formal altered for a convention in July. The gown was a little too long and the train was cumbersome to maneuver. Tomy knew exactly what was needed and his price for the alteration was reasonable. He did a fabulous job and works quickly. I’ll add photos later when I’m at the event and wearing the gown. Thanks again Tomy. 😊💕
