Pattern Project is a clothing micro-factory startup. We have developed machinery and software to enable independent fashion brands, haberdasheries, high street retailers or tailoring companies to manufacture custom-fit clothing in-store. We are trying to increase both the sustainability and economic productivity of small-batch production and encourage a shift to UK on-shoring of manufacture. Additionally, we are trying to meet the rising demand for niche womenswear sizing (Globaldata,2019) & that provide custom-fit which research proves enhances the functional and emotional durability of garments (Cost of UK fashion,2017).Our software allows customers to enter their measurements to modify a pattern and a live preview. Once payment is received, the generated pattern is sent to our desktop machine which nests the garment for the most efficient use of fabric and cuts it. The garment can then be sewn. The desktop machine weighs 40 kgs, has a footprint of 2mt x 1mt and is designed keeping in mind the health and safety of retail environments. Under the Pattern Project brand, we offer ‘Made-by-you' custom-fit clothing kits for those interested in sewing their garments at home. The clothes are easy to make, take less time than standard sewing and let the makers have a sense of ownership whilst upgrading their skills.
