Want to know how one woman turns her fashion dreams into a multi-million dollar international business?
Brain dumping on paper has been Pati’s life-long talent whether it is for books, articles, or designing patterns and writing the guide sheets. She will share her career path of fulfilling desires through gutsy determination. She will discuss creativity, timing, promotion, and partnering in an inspiring and sometimes humorous presentation.
In 1985, Pati established the Palmer/Pletsch International School of Sewing in Portland, Oregon and in 2008 she was inducted into The American Sewing Guild’s Sewers Hall of Fame. Pati has written instructions for The McCall Pattern Co, has appeared with Regis Philbin, and has been featured in Family Circle, Vogue, and all of the major American sewing publications. She is the author of 10 sewing books and editor/publisher of 23 more books and 15 how-to DVD’s, and creator of eight Palmer/Pletsch sewing notion products, including an interfacing line. She was national chairman of the Business Section of the American Association of Family and Consumer Sciences which also named her Entrepreneur of the Year, a co-founder of the Consumer Trends Forum, and advisor to the founders of the national Professional Association of Custom Clothiers.
