# Make Your Own Clothes

> Draft made-to-measure sewing patterns, redraw them, sew them in 3D on a mannequin with your measurements, and follow a step-by-step making book.

Make Your Own Clothes is a bespoke tailor's shop for people who want to make their own clothes. It drafts real sewing patterns from your body measurements, the tailor's block method used by open-source pattern tools, and lets you redraw them on a cutting table.

It sews the flat pieces together in a 3D cloth simulation on a mannequin built from your measurements, explains fabrics in a researched reference guide and writes a step-by-step making book for your pattern and cloth.

Who it's for: Home sewists, from beginners to people drafting their own patterns
