The pattern maker, at Giz Atelier, is an essential element of the creative DNA. In textile design, certain technical experts ensure that creative ideas take shape as tangible garments: among them is the pattern maker.
We will then explore our approach to the stages of pattern development, the creation of measurement charts , and the crucial phase of garment manufacturing.
Who is the pattern maker and what is their role?
At Giz Atelier, the pattern maker is involved from the outset — analyzing the collection’s concept or custom design, evaluating the materials to be used, and ensuring the perfect fit for the client.
From concept to pattern
The pattern development It’s the process that brings each piece to life — combining the right technique, whether flat or 3D, with a deep understanding of geometry, ergonomics, and human proportions.
- In flat (2D) development ( or bidemensional ), the pattern maker process begins with a measurement table— the patterns are drafted on a flat surface and then transformed into. sewn pieces.
- The three-dimensional pattern making (moulage or draping), the fabric is modeled directly on the mannequin, sculpted to the body’s form before being converted into a paper or digital pattern.
Measurement tables: developed by the pattern maker
The with a measurement table guides the pattern maker,bringing together standard dimensions that serve as a reference for creating accurate patterns in various sizes..
These charts take into account measurements such as bust, waist, hips, arm length, among others, and are essential for maintaining consistency among the sizes within a collection or product line.

At Giz Atelier, after the approval of a prototype (or “sample piece”), we create a customized measurement chart for the client or collection, which will be used to ensure that each garment follows the correct standard.
