Fittingly Sew

Unlike most pattern making software of its price range, Fittingly Sew's emphasis is on freedom to design rather than on ready made garments. It is primarily a program for people who want to draft their own patterns, and it has some very powerful tools to start you off, such as the ability to draft a body block directly from body measurements.

The built-in pattern and body blocks in Fittingly Sew are all women's, but you can adapt any of them to use for men's or children's clothes, or even for dolls. (When using Fittingly Sew for men's or children's garments, all the measurements should be taken, even the measurements that are not normally used for a man or child.)

You can also draft your own patterns starting from rectangular blocks, just as you would with pencil, paper and ruler.

Freedom to Design

People who find that ready made patterns don't fit well are able to enjoy comfortable well fitting clothes because of the way that Fittingly Sew can develop patterns based on virtually any body shape.

Fittingly Sew tests the body measurements that you enter by constructing sloper garments. Basing patterns on a tested sloper guarantees a good fit.

Version 2 now in development

We are currently developing Fittingly Sew 2, which will be fully compatible with modern versions of Windows. The list of new features is not yet finalized, and if you have suggestions please send them to info@softbyte.co.uk.

This web page will show the launch date when we know it.

The current version of Fittingly Sew (version 1.2) is a 16-bit program, which means that it will run only under 16- and 32-bit versions of Windows, and not under 64-bit versions. (More)
