Pattern Making
Design and Creative Software
Pattern making is the process of creating templates, typically from paper or cardboard, that define the shapes of fabric pieces needed to construct a garment or textile product. Fashion designers, tailors, and apparel manufacturers use pattern making to translate design sketches into wearable clothing, adjusting for fit, size grading, and fabric behavior. It combines technical drafting skills with an understanding of body proportions and garment construction.
