– Turn Your Pattern Designs Into Smart, Sellable Tools

Imagine turning your pattern into a smart tool — one that anyone can use to generate a made-to-measure version of your design with just their measurements.

With Patternmaker’s Macro Generator (MacroGen), that’s exactly what you can do.

What is MacroGen?

MacroGen is a visual programming tool that lets you convert your custom pattern designs into interactive, customizable macros.

A macro is not just a digital pattern — it’s a dynamic draft that adjusts based on the user’s input. That means your one design can be automatically sized and reshaped to fit anyone, from petite to plus, child to adult — all in a matter of seconds.

Who Is MacroGen For?

Independent Designers:
Turn your original designs into sellable macros. Offer your customers custom-fit patterns without having to draft each one manually.

Pattern Publishers:
Create downloadable patterns that fit a range of body types. Sell a single macro that works for everyone — no need to publish multiple size sets.

Fashion Educators:
Use macros in your curriculum to show students how design changes affect fit. MacroGen makes pattern logic visual and interactive.

Tech-Savvy Pattern Makers:
If you’re used to drafting by hand or in CAD but want to automate recurring shapes and designs, MacroGen lets you do that without writing code.

What Can You Build With MacroGen?

With MacroGen, you can:

  • Draft custom slopers and blocks based on body measurements
  • Program macros for complete garments (dresses, jackets, pants, etc.)
  • Create adjustable features like sleeve length, neckline shape, flare, dart position, and more
  • Add seam allowances, construction lines, and labels

You can even build in logic — for example:
“If hip measurement is more than 100 cm, add an extra dart.”
“If user selects ‘flared skirt,’ increase sweep by 30%.”

No Coding? No Problem.

MacroGen was built for designers, not developers. Instead of typing programming language, you:

  • Draw your pattern pieces in Patternmaker
  • Assign formulas and logic visually
  • Test and refine with measurement sets

It’s programming made intuitive.

Why It Matters

Most pattern software stops at fixed-size outputs. MacroGen goes further — allowing you to offer a truly made-to-measure solution. Whether you’re selling patterns, teaching others, or streamlining your own work, MacroGen gives you unprecedented flexibility.

You’re no longer limited by sizes. You’re designing for real bodies, real variation, and real customization.

Whether you’re an experienced designer or just discovering the power of custom drafting, MacroGen opens the door to new possibilities in fashion technology. Create once. Fit everyone.
