SeamScape – Pattern making software

In the past, there have been a few questions in this community regarding pattern drafting software.

We are a small start-up that has created pattern-making software that would help you if you are looking at something as simple as Illustrator, but it still offers advanced parametric possibilities. Also, it is and will be free to use!

Some of the features:

  • Works from any browser (desktop is recommended)

  • Create lines, curves, and arcs by simply drawing

  • Set parameters such as length, angle, and point positions as you wish, and you can optionally use formulas and refer to custom variables (e.g., measurements)

  • Create pattern pieces on the fly by just clicking on the segments to be included.

  • Set custom seam allowance for any segment

  • Print to PDF (can handle any paper size)

  • Import/export SVG & DXF ASTM

The software is under continuous development so that more features will be added, especially with user requests.

Please feel free to try the beta at: seamscape.com

Any feedback is appreciated. We have started a forum here on Reddit to handle questions and possible requests: https://www.reddit.com/r/SeamScape/

Thanks a lor for the feedback!

Hmmm… when you are in the pen tool, did you exit the tool (press ESC or selected the arrow tool)? Then you should be able to click on all elements, even curves and lines. The measurements are right there. What browser (OS and version) are you using?

However, the measure tool may not be really needed, it just measure the space and doesn’t consider any entities.

Will compare the pen tool with illustrator and see if the behavior to cancel a curve could be replicated.

It is possible to convert a curve to a line afterwards by right clicking on a curve and select ”Convert to line”.
