About

Hi! I’m Jessie D! 

Fashion designer by trade, mom of 5, pattern wizard, sewing machine whisperer, and extreme crafter. I draft patterns, sew the things, and craft like my glue gun runs on espresso. Some even say I’m gramma-coded (I’ll take it, it’s a vibe).

Dart Apparel is my happy little corner of the internet where all my passions collide—without the chaos, just the creativity. Here you’ll find:

✂️ Original sewing patterns
🧵 Pattern-making tips & sewing tricks
🎨 Craft tutorials + supply lists
🛍 Tools, supplies, and all the good stuff I swear by
…and whatever else I obsess over next!

My mission? To inspire more makers to jump in, try it out, and love the process. I’m basically the opposite of a gatekeeper. If crafting and sewing have a curtain, I’m yanking it open like: “Come look! It’s not scary, I promise!”

Need to know how to do something? You’re in the right place. I want to be the person you go to when your brain goes:
“Wait… how do I make that?”

So, welcome to my world—I’m really, really glad you found your way here.
Now grab your scissors, your curiosity, and maybe a snack… and let’s make something awesome together.

XXX,
Jessie
