We don’t just build your idea, we build your understanding.
Pattern Making Services for Apparel and Sewn Products
Transform your design concepts into patterns that support product development, sampling, and manufacturing
Who This Is For
Give Your Idea The Structure It Needs
Every sewn product idea starts with a pattern. Whether you're creating something new or refining an existing product, professional pattern development transforms ideas, sketches, or reference samples into the technical foundation needed to build your product consistently.
If any of these situations sound familiar, you're likely in the right place.
You have sketches or design concepts and need professional patterns.
You have a sample but no pattern to recreate or refine it.
You need patterns developed for a new apparel or sewn product.
You have paper patterns that need to be digitized into editable files.
You have existing patterns and want an experienced pattern maker to review them before moving forward.
You're preparing for sewn prototyping, pattern grading or tech packs.
What You Need
Pattern Development That Defines Your Product
A pattern begins with measurements, but those measurements are only as good as the information behind them. Using CLO|3D garment visualization and industry standard Alvanon dress forms that represent your target customer, we evaluate fit, proportion, and construction before ever sewing a sample.
Once the pattern has been established, Sewn Prototyping confirms how those product decisions translate into a physical sample. From there, the pattern can be expanded through Pattern Grading and documented in a Tech Pack to communicate your product to a manufacturer.
What You Get
Pattern Development Services
Pattern Development
Custom pattern creation - Starting at $400
Professionally developed digital patterns for new apparel and sewn products. Ideal when you're creating a new design, refining an existing concept, or need patterns built from sketches, reference garments, or product ideas.
30-minute intake to clarify design and sewn details
Custom pattern creation from sketches, reference samples, or rough physical prototypes
Pattern development informed by real materials, construction methods, and sewing finishings
Fit development based on true-to-life 3D simulation using industry-standard body measurements for your target customer
Pattern files structured to support development from sampling to grading, and into future style extensions
Exported as industry-standard AAMA/ASTM to allow for easier sharing, updates or style extensions.
30-minute review to evaluate the sample and plan next steps
Pattern Digitizing
Conversion of paper patterns into digital files - $150/hr
Convert existing paper patterns into editable digital files for revision, grading, production, or long-term storage. Digitized patterns become a flexible foundation for future product development.
30-minute intake to confirm piece count and pattern information
Basic pattern cleanup and correction from digitizing process
Fully labeled pattern set to include style name, piece name and number, fabrication, and cut quantity.
Verify notch placement, internal markings and seam allowances
Ensure seams lengths match, curves blend and construction logic is correct
Exported as industry-standard AAMA/ASTM to allow for easier sharing, updates or style extensions.
30-minute review to discuss any findings and answer questions
Pattern Auditing
Technical review of existing patterns - $150/hr
An independent technical review of your existing patterns before moving into sampling or production. We identify potential issues, recommend improvements, and provide guidance before additional time and cost are invested.
30-minute intake to confirm project goals
Evaluation of fit logic, balance, seam placement, and construction feasibility using true-to-life 3D simulation
Identification of missing information or inconsistencies affecting sewing or fit
Assessment of whether issues stem from the pattern, the sewing process, or both
Includes evaluation of a sewn sample if one is available
Exported as industry-standard AAMA/ASTM to allow for easier sharing, updates or style extensions.
30-minute review session to discuss recommendations and next steps
