What goes in a tech pack for sandals?
The drawing, the materials and hardware, the finished measurements and the construction notes a specialist maker quotes from. Drop one photo of your sandal and get its technical flat, free with no account; the pattern itself is made by the maker, not drafted here.

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 sandal
A tech pack for sandals is the brief a specialist maker quotes from: the drawing, the materials, the measurements and how the piece is put together.
Measure a sandal you like and write its finished dimensions and hardware sizes into the pack; the maker builds the pattern from them.
What you get
A technical flat of your sandal, drawn from one photo in black line on white, ready for the materials and measurements of your tech pack.
Step by step
- Photograph the sandal from the front, laid flat, in daylight.
- Get its technical flat from the flat sketch tool.
- Add the materials, trims and hardware, with their sizes.
- Send the pack to a specialist maker for a quote and a sample.
A common mistake
Sending a maker a picture with no measurements: the sample comes back in the size the maker guessed.
