About

Marco’s method, from cutting table to app

Marco Bagalini’s patternmaking method from an Italian patternmaker, as calc + 18 Learn lessons. Built with HMD Digital.

Studio vignette: dress form, base skirt, and the PatternPRO path to hand-drafted paper.

Marco Bagalini is a patternmaker and teacher, author of the patternmaking book. Years of Italian craft distilled into a clear method for women’s bases, taught in the book and in the Learn lessons.

PatternPRO puts that method in the phone: enter your measurements, calculate the lengths, draw the paper, sew. Henrique Milli / HMD Digital built the app and this site with him.

The aim is simple: bases calculated on your body, no time lost on maths, a paper pattern you can draw by hand right away. For tailors, patternmakers, students, and anyone who sews.
