Pattern making on demand
From sketch to pattern.
From pattern to workshop.
You designed a garment — by hand or with AI. A professional pattern maker drafts the industrial pattern, you approve a render, and production is ordered on the same platform.
Escrowed payment · 3 revisions included · Pattern delivered on your approval
How it works
Step 01 — The sketch
Post your design
Front view, back view, fabric, fit, sizes. Your design can come from a sketchbook or an image generator — never from a copied garment.
Step 02 — The pattern
A pattern maker drafts it
A professional pattern maker accepts the brief and delivers pattern, render and tech pack. You approve on the render — payment stays in escrow until you do.
Step 03 — Production
The workshop takes over
Request quotes from partner factories. On order confirmation, the platform delivers the pattern straight to the workshop.

FAQ
Who owns the pattern?
You do. You approve on a render, then the pattern and tech pack are delivered to you. And if you order production, the platform sends the file set straight to the workshop — nobody copies your design along the way.
Are my AI-generated images accepted?
Yes — that's the heart of the service. The only rule: an original design, drawn or generated, never a copy of an existing garment. You certify it when posting.
What if I don't like the render?
Three revisions are included, each with a written reason so the pattern maker knows what to fix. Beyond that, or if you disagree, either you or the pattern maker can open a dispute: the team arbitrates — work continues, a refund, or a split between the work done and a refund. Your payment is held until you approve; if you don't respond, the delivery is approved automatically 7 days later, after two reminders.
How do pattern makers get paid?
The amount they will receive is shown before they accept, payment is collected before they start, and paid out on approval: through Stripe where available, otherwise by Wise transfer in euros within 5 business days, fees paid by Patterngain. No haggling.
How long does a pattern take?
It depends on the category, counted from when a pattern maker accepts: 5 days (basic), 7 days (standard), 10 days (complex), 14 days (technical). You follow progress live. If nothing is delivered 7 days after the due date, you can cancel yourself and get a full refund.
Can I produce outside your workshops?
The production file travels through the platform — that's our model, and your protection. Partner workshops reply with comparable quotes, and you choose freely among them.
Can I cancel, and will I be refunded?
Your card is only charged when a pattern maker accepts your brief. Before that, you cancel it yourself from your account and nothing is taken; if nobody accepts within 6 days, the brief is cancelled and the reservation released automatically. Once accepted, work has started: a cancellation request goes through the team, which sets the share due to the pattern maker for the work already done and refunds you the rest.
How is a pattern maker verified?
On a verifiable portfolio and a short video call with the team, or after a first brief approved without dispute. Verified pattern makers can accept a new brief during its first 2 hours, ahead of others. No payment can buy this status or a place in line.
Who is behind the sheet
Patterngain is published by Yassir Msittef, in Geneva. One simple conviction: a sketch, however good, cannot be manufactured until it becomes an industrial pattern — and that step is exactly where young brands get stuck.
The platform does one thing, across three trades: the designer posts, the pattern maker drafts, the workshop produces. Every payment is escrowed, and every pattern remains its designer's property.
