Custom Sewing Patterns from Your Measurements

Your Measurements In, Your Pattern Out

People's Patterns generates custom sewing patterns from your body measurements. You enter numbers like chest, waist, hip, rise, and inseam. The drafting engine calculates every pattern piece to fit those numbers. No size chart. No grading. No guessing.

The engine uses parametric drafting, the same approach taught in fashion design schools. But instead of drafting by hand on paper (which takes hours), the software does it in seconds and outputs a tiled PDF you can print at home.

What Measurements Do You Need?

Most patterns need just 3 to 5 measurements. Pants need your waist, hip, rise, inseam, and thigh. Shirts need chest, shoulder, neck, and sleeve length. Skirts need waist, hip, and desired length. You measure once, save your numbers to your account, and every future pattern uses them automatically.
