You’ve cut it, slashed it, designed a new neckline, rotated your darts and added all kinds of new design details! So what’s next? Adding seam allowance! This is usually a long time-consuming process which takes some careful attention with a Pattern Master, especially when you’ve got loads of curves and lots of panels. It’s a process that I personally used to dread. Well, not anymore. We’ve created a very handy tool into the Cutting table that does all the heavy lifting. Simply select your pattern pieces, pick from one of our range of pre-defined seam allowances and apply it to your block. We’ve even created a tutorial that shows you how to build your very own custom seam allowance that you can save to the Cutting table and use on all your future blocks.

Patternlab.London is a software application that automatically drafts custom fitting; dress, bodice, trouser, skirt basic blocks and Slopers in minutes using your own custom measurements. We also offer free tutorials on pattern cutting allowing you to turn your basic blocks into hundreds of different designs that accurately fit your body.
