A browser-based tool helps independent sewing-pattern designers turn an SVG base-size drawing into layered, print-ready PDFs for every size.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-01 issue.
For
Independent sewing-pattern designers
Worth noticing
It exports layered US Letter, A4, A0, and 36-inch roll PDFs, with size layers that sewists can switch on and off.

Field notes

The workflow starts with an SVG export and a test square; the site says pieces, stitching lines, seam allowances, grainlines, fold edges, and notches are recognized, with corrections available by click. Grading is set at individual points rather than by uniform scaling. The demo spans XS–4XL, and the output options include A4 and US Letter tiles, A0 sheets, a 36-inch roll, and a true-scale projector page.
