They knew what badly handled patterns looked like: offshore suppliers with inconsistent sizing, gaping necklines, “choking” necks, random armholes and jerseys turning up months late. They were not going to pay someone a $10,000–$20,000 retainer just to draft a tank top. Pattern Room lets them buy one size, test it in the real world, and only invest in the full size set once we know the style will sell. For a small manufacturer, that’s huge.”

Josh runs Tribal Sportswear, a custom teamwear business based in Brisbane, specialising in Aussie Rules and other team sports. Since launching in 2012, the business had grown rapidly — but so had the complexity.“We got to a point where we were saying yes to everything. That meant working with multiple factories, pattern makers, and processes… and losing all the consistency that helped us grow in the first place.” That was until he found Pattern Room

Tyson knew as a manufacturer that every sample eats into your margin, two or three extra rounds quickly add up. Getting a style approved after one sample means less waste, less printing and more profit left in each job. “I try to send a bunch your way – it makes my life easier. People use a number of vendors on Fiverr; they can get it done, but you go through so many rounds… I tell them, just go here – their patterns go together first time, every time so far. ”Pattern Room helps you get to a production-ready fit faster, so your sampling cost is truly under control.

When Bettina from Squad Gear first came to us, she was spending 3 to 7 hours per design just to build a tech pack. Her workflow involved creating detailed briefs for freelance pattern makers on Fiverr — a process that was not only time-consuming but unpredictable in terms of results. Once she joined Pattern Room, everything changed. Now, Bettina spends just 10 minutes per style finding the pattern she needs. That pattern lands in her inbox within 48 hours, ready to sample. When she’s ready for production, she simply returns to order the graded pattern and tech pack, confident it will deliver the consistency her customers expect. By moving away from freelancers and switching to our system, Bettina has drastically reduced delays, freed up hours in her schedule, and — most importantly — has full confidence that her patterns will fit correctly the first time.She’s now focused on scaling the business, not stuck managing the pattern-making process.

Michael had previously come across Pattern Room and recognised an opportunity: instead of developing new patterns in-house or fixing flawed ones, he could access production-ready patterns in 48 hours, complete with matching specs and grading.

The nested patterns make it easy to take one design and put it on every size. Our productivity doubled and the design process (time) has reduced by 26%. Our graphic designers love working on these patterns.
