Parametric Drafting, How Algorithm-Driven Pattern Making Is Democratizing Sewing Design
In the world of sewing pattern-making, parametric drafting tools are fundamentally transforming how designers work. Rather than drafting manually from scratch, these tools use mathematical relationships—such as ratios, anchors, and constraints—to dynamically generate patterns. Software like Seamly2D (formerly Valentina) and open-source Blender add-ons allow pattern makers to input body measurements and immediately visualize tailored, scalable…
