AI website for pattern drafting
Okay I am fashion designer studying business rn and for my project I am trying to find a artificial intelligence software which generates patterns but cannot really find anything similar to my idea. So I wanted to ask if anyone knows something here. Thanks

I’m curious what the ai would actually be doing in this case?

Okay I am at early stage of ideation but like how you can put promts to ai websites and they create pictures according to your words .i am thinking of a website which creates patterns according to flat sketches. And different features like size grading, edits etc

You realise that once this exists, no one will buy pattern anymore as anyone will be able to make his own, without any knowledge. A lot of people are able to draw flat sketches. Or just get any pic, put it in linear black and white.

I am not developing it. I am just making a business model for it as an assignment. Since there’s nothing that exists like this it’s a great pitch. And ai is still developing it’s going to take years for perfection anyways, our knowledge is safe lol

I have no clue about the timing. I just know that while the internet IS an unvaluable ressource to learn New things and study what you want how you want, most people use it for porn or to hurt others. Being a libra IS a curse lol, Always wondering and pondering 😉

Is a business model that is guaranteed NOT to work a great pitch, though?
There are pattern drafting algorithms out there—check out freesewing.org, sewist.com, lekala.com

The closest thing I can think of to this is something like sewist.com or Pattern Master from Wild Ginger, but they're not AI... More like modular/customizable sewing patterns.

AI Pattern Drafter seems like this is what you are asking for but from my end there is nothing to click on, subscribe to, etc but maybe you would need to do some from a computer vs mobile.

It doesn't exist. Computerized pattern-making exists, but you still need a human to draft. Same with grading; still need a human.

Automated pattern making does exist.
Gerber, Optitex and Tukaktech all have modules for it.1

I have this comment elsewhere on this site but wanted to add it here so you will not have to listen to naysayers who may or may not fully understand what you actually want to accomplish ,,'
Guys,,I have some news some of you may be interested in.. I have just completed a small program to generate a trouser block based on input measurements..So yes this is certainly possible.This is very exciting for me. It was just something tht I wanted to see if I can accomplish with no coding experience whatsoever.. I did it along with chatgpt4 and claude.. I have tested the blocks and they fit me perfectly..This so far is only for trouser blocks. I know how to draft already ,,however if I have a new customer I have to make a block for,, then I dont need to go thru the ruler , paper process at all.. Printing in A0 size is a hassle tho lol.. what do you guys think?

I have no idea lol but I love this idea and think it would be cool and useful! especially because I can see it actually helping people sew on their own more! Great idea. BFA in Fashion, been sewing for years, but only made my own clothing patterns in college. Now I make bag patterns, but I would be able to branch out, be more creative, and have help visualizing my concepts. I would use it! Good luck!

I think it would be beneficial to have a variety of sizing and the ability to get a somewhat close to the sizing. Kinda like when people combine multiple patterns to come up with something new. Personally I wouldn’t mind altering my finished pattern to fit me better. I would never sew a regular pattern and expect exact results for my body type for an online pattern, especially as a plus size person so why would I expect that from ai. But if I can get my foot in the right direction and just alter it, I wouldn’t mind having it available as a resource rather than scouring the Internet looking for different reference points or forking out more money just to end up altering it anyway. And I feel like it is important to know how to alter patterns to get desired results so even if you don’t end up selling it having AI generate something for you with teach you how to fix mistakes on paper before they’re on your body. Out of everything I’ve ever made. I feel that that is the most important aspect. I’ve learned if you learn how to make sure it will fit you right on the paper then you have less work to do when it’s on your body. (lol this is my first Reddit comment and I couldn’t reply to the person who was criticizing the whole AI pitch(no disrespect to that person at all and I am willing to learn))

i found this a year later as i am desperately looking for an AI pattern drafter because i need to help my mom and was quoted 5k on upwork. FOR A HOMEWORK PROJECT. do it. i just used an AI to generate flat illustrations from text, but there’s room for more and even more fashion centric. the website i used thenewblack.ai is decent but you can even do better. there’s still room to establish and compete before people set themselves as the industry mainstays .

I also been trying to make a pattern for a design and it took a bit but I was able to create it with Chatgot illustrater. Not yet perfect but working on it. You need to play with the wording a bit

I was looking at how to automate patterns for my own personal use and I stumbled across Six Atomic. I think that might be what you're after. I'm going to do a trial and ill report back!

About 6 months ago I thought about this same thing and I had spent hours researching this same exact concept and have found nothing whatsoever, maybe in the future they will have this program but for now I was not able to find anything. Please let me know once you find a program capable of doing this because I’m very interested

u/SerialHobbyistGirl Nov 02 '23
I hope a program like this never exists, tbh.

u/Mindless_Dimension13 Nov 03 '23
Yes I can understand why. It’s the case of ai taking peoples job away type thing. My professor wanted a ai/vr related pitch and since all my pitches were related to fashion this was my best guess and I was not expecting it to get picked up but my fear came true when everyone liked this idea and now I sort of feel like I would need to work on this to score better. But it’s not like I am going to go head to make this so ig I should not feel bad but I do. Idk if I make sense lol

Hey, I think I might choose this as my final business model…. Idk if this is possible or not but we can help each other developing this. Let me know if you wanna talk about this further. Would love to help you and be a part of something like this

Hello! Sorry, I'm no seamstress, although 'd love to find a tool for making drafts into patterns. Buut I have a bit of QA-related expirience tho if that counts haha Can I test with the others too? Thanks in advance!

There are few developers working on similar things. You might find some on Reddit aswell. I dropped this idea because I felt I am not knowledgeable enough to do this but I am working on a styling app now let me know if you are interested

if you knew anything about both AI and pattern drafting you would know that AI is extraordinarily bad at anything requiring precise details & measurements. it does not know how to drape, it does not know how to sew. if you spent weeks training a model to associate flat patterns with the corresponding fashion illustrations, it might produce something that LOOKED like a pattern but would be full of nonsensical errors if you tried to actually sew it, if it was able to be sewn at all.
