I will create technical patterns and tech packs for apparel


About this gig
Are you looking for production-ready patterns that combine world-class tailoring with scientific engineering?
I am Fikadie Arega (MSc), a Fashion Technologist and Professional Pattern Engineer. With over 11 years of hands-on experience and a Masters Degree in Fashion Technology, I don't just "draw" clothes engineer them for precision, fit, and industrial scalability.
Using Adobe Illustrator, I transform your creative concepts into high-accuracy vector patterns that are ready for any factory or bespoke atelier. My work is backed by advanced research in ergonomics and garment construction, ensuring that every piece is functional, comfortable, and aesthetically perfect.
What I offer in this Gig:
- Precision Digital Pattern Drafting: Clean, professional vector files (.AI, .PDF, .DXF).
- Technical Tech Packs: Complete specifications including Bill of Materials (BOM) and construction details.
- Complex Apparel Engineering: Specialization in Men's Suits (Jacket, Lining, Interlining) and Tactical/Military functional gear.
- Industrial Grading: Accurate size scaling (S, M, L, XL, etc.) maintaining the integrity of the design.
- Seam Allowance Logic: Patterns provided in both no seam and With seam.
Delivery style preference
Please inform the freelancer of any preferences or concerns regarding the use of AI tools in the completion and/or delivery of your order.

FAQ
1. What file formats will I receive?
I provide industry-standard vector files, including Adobe Illustrator (.AI), high-resolution PDF (ready for printing), and DXF (compatible with most CAD/CAM garment cutting software). If you need a specific format for your manufacturer, just let me know.
2. Do you provide patterns with seam allowances?
Yes. In the "Advanced Way" of pattern making, I provide both Net Patterns (actual body measurements for design clarity) and Gross Patterns (including precise industrial seam allowances). This ensures your factory can move straight to production without confusion.
3. Can you create patterns for complex tactical or military gear?
Absolutely. Backed by my MSc research in Military Load Carriage Equipment, I specialize in ergonomic, high-performance apparel. I understand the complexities of reinforced stitching, modular pocket placement (MOLE/PALS), and weight-distribution engineering.
4. What information do I need to provide to get started?
To ensure "Eagle Eye" precision, please provide: A sketch or photo of your design. A size chart or specific body measurements. Any specific fabric requirements (e.g., woven, knit, or heavy-duty canvas). Your brand logo if you want it integrated into the technical spec sheet.
5. Can you handle grading for multiple sizes?
Yes. I use mathematical grading rules to scale your base pattern into a full-size range (e.g., XS to 3XL). My grading maintains the original design's proportions and ergonomic fit across all sizes.
