How to do fashion
Our method and goal
How to do Fashion develops and produces high-quality sewing patterns for women who want a high-end foundation. This is to create a unique and personal wardrobe with a touch of past times elegance and finesse.
All of our sewing patterns are based on the idea that every female body is perfect and that clothes should be adapted, not the body! In this way, we always keep the woman in focus.
Silhouettes and ideals of earlier decades inspire our cuts and shapes, still with fit and sizing made for the modern woman.
The foundation of how we work with our patterns is always by using craft and accuracy as our primary tools. Sewing and pattern making is our passion, and we value the homemade wardrobe for many reasons. Still, most of all because homemade and well-fitted clothing makes you feel like the best version of yourself.
The body we have been given is a gift that deserves to be wrapped most beautifully; creating a homemade wardrobe is a declaration of self-love.
How it started
Nanna, the founder of How to do Fashion, is a tailor and a patternmaker. She has worked in the fashion industry for many years and taught in fashion schools and academies. In 2013 she started the blog howtodofashion.dk to show how she made her wardrobe. Shortly after, there was an interest in the vintage-inspired garments Nanna made. So, after many requests for sewing patterns for the dresses, she made her first pattern No. 1 Dragør.
Today the team is not a one-woman show - we are now three and still growing.
Today How to do Fashion is no longer just a blog. We have a wide range of sewing patterns, a sewing and pattern-making school in Copenhagen, Denmark and a fabric shop. How to do Fashion started as a dream and a hobby; today, it is a full-time job, and the dream has come true.
