Cutting Corners, Inc’ was Louise’s very successful couture custom clothing business. She designed bridal gowns, tailored suits, maternity and ‘high end’ sportswear. Louise also owned her retail store, Cutting Corners Fabric Collections for 15 years in Winter Park, Florida.

Louise has given the creative public a sleek and simple ‘canvas’ on which to play. Her "CUTTING LINE DESIGN" PATTERN COMPANY began 12 years ago with the most popular style being the ‘One Seam Pants©. To date there are 42,000 of that pattern sold. The collection now offers fifteen pattern designs with four future patterns on the drafting table focusing on wraps, jackets, great tops, and blouses. She is setting the scene for today's lifestyle and image, with a timeless and easy elegance. Her serene style has clean, simple shapes and modern lines for a peaceful balance.

Louise, a professional fashion illustrator, is known for superb instructions and illustrations. She has published many booklets and DVDs on a wide range of subjects, offering her vast sewing knowledge and exciting ideas compiled from her extensive education and experience in the fashion, design and sewing industry. Many of her ideas are gleaned from top designers. Laughter is contagious in Louise’s workshops as she instructs in her natural, fun-loving style. Louise will inspire you with everything from precision and professional techniques to perfect fitting, ‘wardrobing’ and appropriate color and lifestyle garment selection.
