Ten photographs of real garments, from museum and archive collections. Pick any one of them. The engine reads the garment, drafts a sewing pattern to a standard EU38 body and draws the technical flat, in front of you, in your browser — and then you can take the files with you: DXF for a cutting room, A4 tiled and A0 single-sheet PDFs at 1:1, and the flat as SVG.
No account. No upload. Nothing is sent anywhere — the drafting engine is compiled to WebAssembly and runs on your machine.
Two things happen when you click a photograph, and they are not the same kind of thing, so they are named separately.
The garment is DESCRIBED — sleeveless, A-line, sweetheart neckline, gathered waist. That description was read by a vision model once, and the answer was recorded. Clicking replays the recording; it does not call the model again, and it costs nothing. It is the same recording the project's own regression test runs against, so this page and that test can never disagree about what the model said.
The garment is then MEASURED and DRAFTED, and none of that is a recording. The proportions are measured off the photograph's own pixels in your browser, and the pattern is drafted from them by a deterministic C++ engine — every curve, every seam allowance, every notch, the cutting layout and the metreage. Pick a different standard size and the whole pattern is redrafted for it. Nothing on the result screen was drawn by hand or corrected afterwards.
Where the engine cannot draw something the photograph shows, it says so on the result screen instead of drawing something else. That list is part of the output.
Every photograph below is somebody else's work. Under each one, outside the link that opens the drafting page, the photographer's name links to the source page and the licence name links to the licence itself, so you can check the terms rather than take our word for them. Nine of the ten are Creative Commons — three CC0, three CC BY and three CC BY-SA, and the three BY-SA ones say ShareAlike in as many words. The tenth is a museum rights statement, "No restrictions", which is not a CC licence and is not called one here.
The reading step is the one part of this that costs money to run, so it is not open to everyone yet. Everything after it already is: go to the create page, pick the garment, neckline, sleeves and skirt by hand, choose one of the eight standard sizes (EU34 to EU48), and you get exactly the same pattern, the same flat and the same downloads as the ten below.
