About

As a beneficiary of the Sew in Africa Grant, I have experienced firsthand the positive impact it can have on individual designers. It allowed me to work with greater efficiency. I could scale my business through increased output almost immediately. I could output my designs in minimum time. It changed my business and positively affected my family. The impact on the students will be remarkable.

I want to share the benefits of a program like this, and so, together with PatternMaker software, I have developed this program. I chose PatternMaker software, because of its unique capabilities to create patterns, style, and grade them while giving the user total control. With a simple user interface, it becomes intuitive with use. It has a tactile feel to it that I like, with the mouse actions that allow me to work pretty fast. PatternMaker is also a lightweight software. It has low system requirements. So students don’t need expensive laptops to use PatternMaker software. It’s also offline so it doesn’t require costly data packages. Its pricing is good for a lifetime license. Macrogen has allowed me to create custom patterns, which I use in my business and also sell to the public. We are dedicated to using cutting-edge CAD software to empower African fashion designers, fostering a community of thriving and empowered creatives. We plan to enhance economic positions, foster creativity, and scale businesses both locally and globally. Join us on this journey to turn dreams into reality, creating a network of creativity, entrepreneurship, and empowerment!
