Sew the clothes you love with a sewing pattern that fits you.

Yes. Upload a photo or screenshot, or paste a Pinterest or Instagram link, and Ourlette's AI recognises the garment and its details (length, neckline, sleeves, fullness, closure, pockets, fabric colours and print). Ourlette's drafting engine then draws the pattern pieces to your measurements from proper flat-pattern blocks. You can adjust every detail before printing. On the Free plan, Ourlette suggests the closest of its 36 tested garments and Community patterns to start from; the Maker plan drafts the exact design, piece by piece, 3 times a month (then opens the closest garment), and the Atelier plan with its 12 AI credits a month.

A catalogue of 36 garment types with tested drafting and many options: A-line, circle, gathered or tiered, pencil and wrap skirts, or a skirt built from parts; T-shirts and tanks, woven tops and blouses, button-up and camp shirts, or a top, shirt, jacket or coat built from parts; sweatshirts and hoodies; shift, fit-and-flare, slip and shirt dresses, or a dress built from parts; pull-on trousers and shorts, jeans, chinos, or trousers built from parts; kimono, trucker, chore and bomber jackets, a trucker vest and a waistcoat; a tote bag, a drawstring bag, a zip pouch, a bucket hat, a scrunchie and a headband; cushion covers and an apron. Anything else, from jumpsuits, blazers with notched lapels and corsets to swimwear, lingerie, children's clothes, backpacks, toys and pet coats, is drafted piece by piece by Ourlette's AI pattern maker in 4 to 8 minutes. Those new designs are not tested on real bodies yet, so sew a toile first; very structured tailoring, underwired bras and boned corsetry may need adjusting by hand. Ourlette does not make knitting patterns. See all patterns. Drafting those new designs is part of the Maker plan (3 a month) and the Atelier plan (12 AI credits a month); on the Free plan, Ourlette suggests the closest tested models and Community patterns to start from.

Ourlette drafts to measurements, not to a fixed size. Enter your own (height, bust, waist and hip are enough to start; the measuring guide explains each one) or pick your usual size: women EU 32–54 (US 0–22, UK 4–26), men XS–3XL or children 2–14 years. The pattern adds the right ease for the style, so a fitted dress and an oversized sweatshirt both fit as intended.

Starting is free: a free account gives you any of the 36 tested garments, suggestions of the closest tested models and Community patterns from a photo, a link or a description (Maker and Atelier draft the exact design), 2 small AI changes per pattern, 6 AI messages a month, unlimited changes by hand, the 3D preview and the sewing guide on screen. Six very easy models also print free, true-scale PDF and sewing guide included, as long as the pattern stays one of them: the tote bag, drawstring bag, scrunchie, headband, cushion cover and apron. Printing any other pattern needs a plan: Maker at $7.99 a month (or $59 a year) or Atelier at $19.99 a month (or $149 a year). Cancel anytime. See pricing.

Choose your paper (A4, US Letter, A3, Tabloid, an A0 or 36 × 48 in copy-shop sheet, or a projector file) and print at 100 % or "Actual size", never "Fit to page". Measure the test square on the first pages: 5 cm and 2 in exactly. Then trim and tape the pages following the page map: rows are letters, columns are numbers. Our guide to printing PDF patterns has the details.

Yes. Every piece shows the cutting line (solid) and the sewing line (dashed). By default the seam allowance is 1.5 cm (5/8 in) on woven fabric and 1 cm (3/8 in) on knits, with a separate hem allowance; you can change both before printing.

A mannequin built from your measurements wearing the garment, in a plain colour or the print taken from your picture. It shows the silhouette and proportions (length, fullness, neckline, sleeves) so you can decide before cutting. It is a preview, not a physics simulation of how a particular fabric drapes.

Yes. Every pattern has its own step-by-step sewing guide, and you can ask it anything about your pattern: what a term means, how to do a step, what to do with a difficult fabric. Answers use your pattern's pieces, allowances and options.
