MEET THE BASIC BLOCKS
Draft once, design forever – Basic Blocks (Slopers) Collection for Men, Women & Juniors
If you’ve ever spent hours drafting a bodice block from scratch—or painstakingly tweaking a store-bought “standard size” pattern until it fits—you know why we built a better way. The Basic Blocks Collection, engineered by pattern-maker extraordinaire Leena and sold at PatternMaker Software, replaces time-consuming manual work with instant, made-to-measure accuracy.
Why digital, size-specific slopers change everything
- Made-to-measure in minutes: Enter body measurements once and PatternMaker drafts a perfectly proportioned sloper. No more slashing, spreading, or guesswork.
- One purchase, every size; The collection covers men, women, and juniors—and each block scales automatically to the measurements you supply. Unlimited clients, unlimited sizes.
- Design-ready precision: Because the blocks are generated mathematically—not traced or graded by hand—necklines, armholes, and dart points stay true at any scale, reducing fitting rounds later.
