What I can help with:
Development, construction, and scaling of patterns based on a design or photograph.
Using 2D and 3D SW to establish the idea of the garment.
Delivery of pattern documentation in PDF format, with the option to provide patterns in curves (vectors) in formats such as .DWG, .DXF, .AI, .SVG, etc.
Sewing of a sample model based on the design.
Creation of technical documentation for the pattern - illustrated technical drawings of the garment and details, technical process description for garment creation.
Digitization of paper patterns into vector formats such as .DWG, .DXF, .AI, .SVG, etc., preparation for printing on a home printer or plotter, positioning plans for CNC production.
Other graphic materials as agreed upon.
What is the cost?
The hourly rate for my work (including consultations and sewing) is 30 EUR.
The first consultation, which is mainly to get acquainted with you and your requirements, is always free. If you are based in Prague, we can meet in person, or we can also connect via a video call.
Based on this meeting and the agreed scope of work, I will provide a price quote. A 50% deposit of the total price is required before the work begins.
If you have a tailoring business, like to sew for others and would like to use my original sewing patterns commercially, write to me at toczna(at)toczna.cz and we will discuss the conditions. Patterns are already scaled to twelve sizes (34-56) and ready to use, so there are no costs for developing the pattern. Using my sewing patterns commercially is subject to payment of a license fee and providing information about the authorship of the pattern on your communication channels.
Work Process for Pattern Development and Creation:
1) Consultation on the garment design (min 1 h)- We will discuss material solutions, proportions, details, etc.; we will clarify the technological possibilities for sewing the garment according to the design.
2) Pattern development and creation of a sample garment in the selected size, fitting (min 10 h)- All the information from the initial consultation will be incorporated into the first pattern of the garment. At this stage, the pattern is developed by hand. During the fitting, you will have the opportunity to provide feedback on the first model. More extensive feedback will be incorporated and discussed in the next fitting, while minor comments will be addressed directly during the preparation of the parametric garment model.
3) Development of the parametric pattern model (min 30 h)- If the first fitting is successful and the feedback is minimal, I will proceed with the creation of the parametric garment model in CAD software. The parametric model is suitable in cases where you want to scale the patterns to more than six sizes or you want to use them for individual production.
4) Scaling to the selected sizes (min 2 h per size)- The parametric model will then be used to scale the pattern to the pre-agreed range of ready-to-wear sizes.
5) Creation of final documentation (min 4 h)- The patterns are converted into an output file in PDF format, from which the patterns can be printed. Upon request, it is possible to provide output in vector formats such as .DWG, .DXF, .AI, .SVG, etc. The documentation also includes a technological process description for garment creation.
6) Preparation of additional previously agreed-upon materials.
MARIE PONOMARENKO aka toczna
I am a pattern designer and the founder of the toczna brand. I create original clothing patterns that are fun to sew and a joy to wear.
I design my patterns and fully illustrated instructions to be appealing and easy to follow for both beginners and advanced sewers. Sewing is my lifelong passion, and I want to share that passion through my instructions and patterns.
