Clothing Pattern Maker

Pattern Adjustments

Have a pattern that needs to change? Whatever it needs, we can help.

Corrected clothing pattern pieces with adjusted seams

Change the pattern, not the design.

Patterns from anywhere

Bring a pattern we made, one drafted by another pattern maker, one bought online or one made by your own team. We check it piece by piece before making any change.

What we can change

Change the shape of a style, take it in or let it out, make it longer or shorter, reshape a neckline, sleeve or armhole, or move seams and rebalance proportions.

New pieces and details

Add pockets, collars, cuffs, linings, facings or hoods, or extract pieces from another pattern and combine them into a new style that sews together cleanly.

What to send

The pattern, on paper or as a file, photos of a sewn sample if you have one, and notes or sketches showing what should change.

Pricing

Patterns we drafted include two revisions at no extra cost. Changes to patterns made elsewhere, and requests beyond those revisions, are quoted on their own.

Questions about pattern adjustments.

Will you work on a pattern another pattern maker drafted?

Yes. Patterns from other pattern makers, online shops or your own team are all welcome.

Can I get a sample after the changes?

Yes. Pair an adjustment with sample making to test the corrected pattern.

Send us the pattern you want fixed.

Attach the pattern, any sample photos and a few notes on what feels wrong. We look it over and reply with what it needs and what it costs.
