Andrea Schewe has designed for the Simplicity Pattern Company for nearly 25 years. She is known for her wide variety of costume patterns ranging from ones that are historically based to quick fun costumes for Halloween in sizes for the whole family, the dog, too. And because of her background designing for the toy and fashion industries, she also designs doll clothes, soft toys as well as home decor items and fashion accessories.
She comes from a family of great seamstresses and got her start in her teens helping in her mother's costume shop at the local college, which lead to working in the professional costume shops in New York City when she moved there to study music. Work in costume shops comes and goes as new plays and ballets do. So, this gave Andrea the chance to work in the fashion district. After her two boys were born she was employed full time as a freelance designer for several toy companies and McCall's Patterns. Simplicity became aware of her work and offered her a contract a few years later and she has happily worked for them ever since. Visit Andrea's Blog.
