My most popular blog category, featuring posts on applied maths, the design process, professional practice, and more.

Longer articles with a more project-based look at the design process. If you’re interested in how a particular design was brought to life, you’ll enjoy these.

If you need my eyes on your work for an hour to straighten something out, this is where to go.

I am very happy to give these! Please visit my Services page for more about my remit, and my Guest Appearances page for past features. If you think we’d be a good fit, I’d love to hear from you.

I design size inclusive knitting patterns for clothes makers who want their garments to fit well. Clothes should serve you, not the other way around. You alter clothes to fit you, not alter yourself to fit the clothes. This is at the heart of everything I do.

I also teach other people how to design knitwear and am currently creating a comprehensive, year-long knitwear design course, covering everything from illustration to pattern grading.

If you’re enjoying my content, you can get more by reading my blog, which features several articles on garment fitting, alterations, knitwear design and sewing pattern reviews, following me on Instagram or Pinterest @natalieinstitches, or signing up to my newsletter.
