Patternmaker Pro is the revolutionary desktop software that ends the frustration of ill-fitting patterns and tedious manual drafting. Create, customize, and grade sewing patterns with unparalleled speed and precision.
I fell in love with the idea of creating my own clothes. I pictured beautiful garments that fit perfectly. But the reality was a drawer full of commercial patterns that never quite worked, hours spent trying to blend sizes between my waist and hips, and the sinking feeling that my body was the problem.
When I started drafting my own designs, I hit a new wall. I loved the creativity, but I hated the slow, painstaking process of manual drafting. One wrong measurement or a bad calculation meant starting over from scratch.
I built Patternmaker Pro because I knew the craft, and I had the vision, but my tools were holding me back.
I developed Patternmaker Pro because I am a pattern drafter, not just a coder. I was tired of the compromises: the fragility of paper, the clumsiness of generic vector software, and the ridiculous monthly rental fees of enterprise CAD systems.
Patternmaker Pro is different.
It is a complete, professional-grade pattern drafting system that you own for life. It runs securely on your computer, online or offline, giving you total control over your work. It’s built on a simple principle: your tools should be an extension of your hands and mind, empowering your creativity, not hindering it.
Every failed adjustment is more than just a mistake—it's another piece of expensive fabric in the bin, another evening lost to frustration, and another blow to your creative confidence. It’s the disappointment of a finished garment that just doesn't look the way you dreamed it would.
For professionals, the stakes are even higher. It's the risk of unhappy clients, costly production errors, and a business that can't scale because you're chained to your drafting table, manually grading patterns one painstaking size at a time.
Why depend on a software company? Unlike other software that locks you into expensive monthly subscriptions and requires you to 'phone home' constantly, Patternmaker Pro is yours forever with a single, one-time payment.
And your work stays where it belongs: with you.
Pay once and own the software for life. All future updates are included, free of charge.
All your patterns, blocks, and measurement sets are saved locally on your computer, not on a remote server.
Work from anywhere, anytime, with or without an internet connection. Your creativity is never interrupted.
The patterns you design are yours alone. You have full ownership and the exclusive right to sell, share, or use them in any way you choose.

Grading is usually the most tedious part of production. With PatternMaker Pro grading, you verify the fit on your base size, and the software calculates the vectors for the entire size run instantly. No spreadsheets, no slash-and-spread.
Stop redrawing the same bodice block. With the Memorization System, you create a living template. Load a new client's measurements, and the draft automatically recalculates every curve, dart, and seam allowance to fit them.
No subscriptions. No cloud accounts. No hidden fees. No internet required.
