What the Designer's Companion Helps You Create

• Curved hemlines
• Curved collars
• Collar stands
• Zipper guards
• Fly front extensions
• Other shaped garment details and pattern refinements

Its compact size makes it easy to position accurately, while the flexible construction helps it follow gentle curves and shaped pattern areas more naturally.

Designed for Practical Patternmaking

Good patternmaking often comes down to the details.

A collar that curves smoothly, a fly extension that is shaped consistently, or a hemline that flows cleanly can make the difference between a rough pattern and one that is easier to construct and refine.

The Designer’s Companion helps bring greater consistency to these smaller but important pattern elements so you can spend less time correcting lines and more time developing the garment.
