Create professional garment patterns that translate designers' creative visions into well-fitted garments. Work may include developing patterns for sportswear, swimwear, lingerie, and other apparel, conducting fittings, making corrections, and accounting for garment complexity, sizing standards, linings, seams, pockets, collars, layers, and embellishments. Pattern makers typically charge $80 to $750 per pattern, and creating, fitting, and correcting a pattern takes around 1 to 2 or more weeks. Accurate patterns and proper planning are essential because experienced pattern makers are in high demand.
