Can I get a pattern and a tech pack for my windbreakers 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 windbreaker
A pattern turns your windbreaker 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 windbreaker you like at hand: chest or waist, length and sleeve bring the first fitting closer.
What you get
A DXF pattern file drafted by a professional pattern maker, priced by how complex the windbreaker is, with the tech pack, grading and marker as add-ons.
Step by step
- Show the windbreaker 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 windbreaker, in numbers
A windbreaker is a light shell that stops wind and light rain, often packable into its own pocket. Its panels are cut so the seams can be taped and the hood fits over a cap.
- Key measurements
- Chest, sleeve length and length
- Pattern pieces
- about 10 to 16, between the standard and complex pattern tiers ($59 to $129)
- Cloth needed

Typical figures for an adult size M. The pattern tier is set from the real piece count when you order.
