Go Patterns are for smart, interesting and creative women who travel, shop, raise kids, work and still have time for fun! Whether it's a first date, that special Saturday night with your husband, or the girl's night out, these patterns make you feel as special as you are!
The best part is that our patterns are drafted using French pattern making techniques, giving them that extra advantage in fit and design, that certain "Je ne sais quoi!" Our patterns are carefully drafted, checked, sewn and resewn by many people before they make it into the Go Patterns envelope.

Allison often made custom clothes for friends on the side and decided to pursue her love of fashion and sewing more seriously and enrolled in the pattern making program at Apparel Arts, graduating in 1998. She began teaching tailoring, fitting and sewing classes while testing patterns for the Threads pattern review and also writing articles for Threads. Her dream all along, however, was to start a small pattern company offering the most current, cute, in fashion and on the runway looks for the young and young at heart sewer, and when Allison met Madeline (who had the same dream, natch!) Go Patterns was born! |

Madeline specialized in accounting and consulting for apparel manufacturing companies. Being back in buildings with lots of fabric in them, Madeline was inspired to study pattern making.
