Can I get a pattern and a tech pack for my activewear from a photo?
Yes. The garment read and the pattern quote are free with no account; a professional pattern maker then cuts the DXF pattern from $29, and the tech pack is an add-on at $10.

JPEG, PNG or WebP. Any phone photo works.
Your photo is stored for 30 days, then deleted. It is used to make your image, and by the studio if you continue there. If you order a pattern from it, a copy is kept with your order.
On this platform the AI does the design and visualisation work and a human pattern maker cuts the pattern. That split is deliberate. How the pattern is made.
Tech Pack for a activewear
A pattern turns your activewear into the pieces a factory cuts: a professional pattern maker drafts the DXF file, and the tech pack is an add-on.
Keep the measurements of a activewear you like at hand: chest or waist, length and sleeve bring the first fitting closer.
Most activewear start from polyester and elastane; merino jersey is the less usual line on a bill of materials.
What you get
A DXF pattern file drafted by a professional pattern maker, priced by how complex the activewear is, with the tech pack, grading and marker as add-ons.
Step by step
- Show the activewear from the front and the back, as an image or a photo.
- Give the measurements you want, or a size chart you already use.
- Name the cloth, because the pattern allows for its stretch and shrinkage.
- Review the pattern and cut a first sample from it.
A common mistake
Ordering a pattern before the cloth is chosen: a pattern drafted for a rigid cloth will not fit in a stretch one.

The activewear, in numbers
Activewear covers garments made for sport: tops, leggings and layers in stretch cloths with flat seams. Function decides the pattern: where it compresses and where it lets air through.
- Key measurements
- Bust, waist and hip
- Pattern pieces
- about 4 to 8, between the simple and standard pattern tiers ($29 to $59)
- Cloth needed
- about 0.8 to 1.4 m of 150 cm cloth
Typical figures for an adult size M. The pattern tier is set from the real piece count when you order.
