I downloaded this patternmaking software years ago… and ignored it. Now it’s my biggest patternmaking regret — here’s why. In this video, I show what Seamly2 can do — and why I wish I had started using it much earlier. This is not a step-by-step tutorial. I’m simply showing the power and possibilities of digital pattern drafting using Seamly2. I cover: updating patterns instantly when measurements change making design changes without redrafting creating patterns that work across multiple sizes Seamly2 is a free, open-source patternmaking software, but it does require some problem-solving and a willingness to learn. If you enjoy figuring things out and want more control over your patterns, this can be an incredibly powerful tool.
