CADTERNS® is a personal patternmaking program that enables anyone to draft personal Ready-to-Style™ slopers (basic sewing patterns) for any female figure or male physique.  Measurements can range from well under 130 cm (4' 6") to over 200-cm (6' 6") in height and from under 70 cm (30") to well over 125 cm (50") at bust or chest. Ten slopers from the combination of Womenswear and Menswear collections provide more than 50 patternmaking blocks, any of which can be calculated in mere seconds!


CADTERNS Fit First™ system of patternmaking is based on the creation of personal Ready-to-Style™ Slopers (basic garment patterns) from the input of measurements. CADTERNS will print these slopers on a standard printer or plotter for manual cut-and-spread techniques of Flat Pattern Design. Using CADTERNS Pro, slopers can be exported to a CAD (Computer-Aided Drafting) program for Digital (Computer-Assisted) Patternmaking.


Styling modifications to a personal sloper result in pre-fitted personal patterns every time. This process adds a new and exciting dimension to the CAD classroom, the entrepreneurial tool kit or the home sewing workshop. CADTERNS enables even simple home sew-ers to become recreational fashion designers and personal patternmakers.  The creative satisfaction is positively exhilarating!

A CADTERNS sloper is a COMPUTER GENERATED flat pattern that is drafted to PERSONAL MEASUREMENTS and can be modified to change the STYLE or FIT of a garment.
