Sew Fitography seems to be gone. So is Fayma patterns.

But there is a new site, https://draft-it-yourself.com/, which is free and has a few basic patterns with some pattern hacks. It is basically a template and you adjust each pattern piece by measuring yourself as you make the pattern. Looks pretty reasonable but of course will take some time to get your pattern completed.

In reply to Sandra Roybal. Thank you for your comment! I'd love to hear more about your experience with the Ditto. My understanding is that your patterns will stay in your "library" for up to 90 days. If you renew in that time, they will be in your library. But, you will be unable to "use" them during those 90 days unless you renew your subscription.

Thank you for all the work you’ve done and continue to do in the area of projector sewing. I’ve had my Bomaker Native 720P Wireless LED Projector for a couple of years and have enjoyed exploring all the possibilities projector sewing has to offer. Although I purchased the Ditto setup I still haven’t utilized it as much as I would like in order to fully understand its full capabilities and what becomes of the patterns I’ve added to my library if I choose not to renew my subscription. Keep up the good work!

Thank you so much for all this information. I plan to slowly educate myself on both custom patterns and graduating towards projector sewing. All seems a little intimidating right now. I love how you are just doing it. 🙂

Quick comment on the Wild Ginger software…
Yes, they do have instructions that you can print with each design that you create. Very detailed, and suitable for all levels of sewing experience. You can use their files for projecting too — I just finished my first blouse recently! I followed your advice on projector requirements and calibrating, and I will never go back to paper patterns again!

Thanks for all that you are doing to help people learn this new way to create. 🙂

I just learned about sew fitography! http://Www.sewfitography.com You buy the software for $30 and get two free patterns with that purchase. You input measurements and photographs, so it gets all the curves of your body correct too. There aren’t a lot of pattern options, but they have a really solid basis if you are comfortable with modifying design elements. I haven’t tried them, but I’m really excited to and see if I can make some good slopers
