Welcome to Kate McGrath Designs. I would love to design and create the perfect piece for you.
One of the best things about working with Kate McGrath Designs is that it is only me. I do not have any employees, just me. You will have personal contact with the one and only person creating your garment. You and I become the team.
ABOUT ME:
I've been sewing for 20 years now. Specifically, handbags (fabric and leather), home decor, prom dresses, wedding dresses, evening dresses and costumes (cosplay, Halloween, dance, skating). I have experience sewing with many fabrics including satin, silk, lace, tulle, chiffon and organza as well as lace applique, hand embroidery and hand beading. I am confident that can recreate your desired garment. I am very detailed, and every seam, bead and placement of lace is important to me. I am quality driven and tend to be a perfectionist with my sewing.
ABOUT MY WORK:
I strive to make quality clothing where the details and fit matter. You will find French seams, bound seams and hand-finished touches among my work. I believe fit should reflect the best of my clients personality and body type while providing the most comfort fit.
I'm here for you!

For Looking for a Custom Made CostumeI ordered a custom made Link outfit from the Legend of Zelda, and Kathleen worked very close with me to make sure that she got all of the details that I wanted correct. I had set a timeline for her and she finished ahead of schedule! When I received the product, I loved it, with the only problem being that some accoutrements didn't quite fit properly, which Kathleen unhesitatingly offered to remake. I would suggest Kathleen to anyone looking for a custom made costume.

For RumpelstiltskinAs a first time customer of this site, I had certain doubts and trepidations. However, these concerns were soon alleviated. Thankfully the maker was able to shape my general ideas into a more cohesive vision. The communication was absolutely stellar, I always received a quick yet well articulated response and the maker gave me frequent progress updates which were greatly appreciated. I couldn’t have hoped for a better experience. I am immensely pleased with my purchase, and I most definitely hope to work with this maker again.

For Colleen's Wedding DressI would totally work with Kathleen again. While I wouldn't call the dress an exact replica as originally planned I will admit that with her guidance I had my own personal version of what I wanted created. She stayed in contact every step of the way and worked hard on my project. I'm super excited to get married in this dress! Thanks so much to her!
