Turn any outfit photo into a sewing pattern that fits you.

Yes. Upload a photo or screenshot, or paste a Pinterest or Instagram link, and Sewly's AI recognises the garment and its details (length, neckline, sleeves, fullness, closure, pockets, fabric colours and print). Sewly's drafting engine then draws the pattern pieces to your measurements from proper flat-pattern blocks. You can adjust every detail before printing.

Twenty at launch: A-line, circle, gathered or tiered, pencil and wrap skirts; T-shirts and tanks; woven tops and blouses; sweatshirts and hoodies; shift, fit-and-flare and slip dresses; pull-on trousers and shorts; a kimono jacket; a tote bag, a zip pouch, a bucket hat and a scrunchie; cushion covers and an apron. Sewly does not yet draft tailored jackets, coats, jeans with a fly front, lingerie or swimwear: for those it suggests the closest garment it can make. See all patterns.

Sewly drafts to measurements, not to a fixed size. Enter your own (height, bust, waist and hip are enough to start; the measuring guide explains each one) or pick your usual size: women EU 32–54 (US 0–22, UK 4–26), men XS–3XL or children 2–14 years. The pattern adds the right ease for the style, so a fitted dress and an oversized sweatshirt both fit as intended.

Making patterns is free: a free account gets 3 AI patterns and 20 AI messages a month, unlimited changes by hand, the 3D preview and the sewing guide on screen. Printing the pattern needs a plan: Maker at $7.99 a month (or $59 a year) or Atelier at $14.99 a month (or $119 a year). Cancel anytime. See pricing.

Choose your paper (A4, US Letter, A3, Tabloid, an A0 or 36 × 48 in copy-shop sheet, or a projector file) and print at 100 % or "Actual size", never "Fit to page". Measure the test square on the first pages: 5 cm and 2 in exactly. Then trim and tape the pages following the page map: rows are letters, columns are numbers. Our guide to printing PDF patterns has the details.

Yes. Every piece shows the cutting line (solid) and the sewing line (dashed). By default the seam allowance is 1.5 cm (5/8 in) on woven fabric and 1 cm (3/8 in) on knits, with a separate hem allowance; you can change both before printing.

A mannequin built from your measurements wearing the garment, in a plain colour or the print taken from your picture. It shows the silhouette and proportions (length, fullness, neckline, sleeves) so you can decide before cutting. It is a preview, not a physics simulation of how a particular fabric drapes.

Yes. Every pattern has its own step-by-step sewing guide, and you can ask it anything about your pattern: what a term means, how to do a step, what to do with a difficult fabric. Answers use your pattern's pieces, allowances and options.
