Running parallel alongside Ralph Pink Patterns, PatternLab is an online software package that me and a software developer conceived in 2015. It allows any individual – with or without pattern cutting knowledge – the ability to automatically draft accurately fitting basic garment blocks using their custom measurements. Furthermore, once a block is drafted, the client can use the online video courses to learn how to adapt their block further, allowing them to create 100’s of different finished designs from one accurately fitting block.
Use of the software and courses are completely free as the company generates revenue from sponsorship and tailored advertising.
The final software development stage is completed and we are currently implementing the website design and user experience. The site launch is scheduled for Jan 2017 after an initial testing phase to be held this summer.
