What if...
What if you could have clothes that truly fit?
What if your clothes didn't need a logo to define them?
What if you could keep a style you love, season after season?
What if sewing let you predict your time and costs, year after year?
What if your wardrobe could be repaired, rebuilt, and last for years?
What if fashion stopped being something to chase — and started being something you create?
That has been my journey
And here I'll try to share what I've learned
Since 2018 I switched from buying clothes to making them myself. Initially I reverse engineered old clothes, copied their shapes, and tried them on my own body. Slowly I learned more — a T-shirt here, a pair of trousers there — until one day my whole outfit was sewn by me. Not perfect, but perfectly mine. Now my goal is to only own self-made clothes.
Later I studied pattern making properly, to understand the craft at its roots. And that's when I noticed something: what looked like fashion was, in many ways, programming. Measurements are parameters. Drafting is an algorithm. Patterns are the output. As a coder, I couldn't resist the curiosity — so I started building digital tools to turn this logic into pattern programs.
This site is the result: part notebook, part workshop, part invitation. A place to learn, experiment, and take control of your wardrobe. I hope it sparks the same excitement in you as it does in me.

About Mönsterkonstruktion
The idea is to collect here tools to draft patterns to those who want to have the skill and knowledge. The focus is on drafting patterns therefore this is not a website for learning how to sew.
This website is under construction and more is being built weekly. All feedback is appreciated, please contact me through instagram @synille .

Pattern View
You can see the basic blocks, change parameters and live see how it changes the shape. Experiment with measurements and instantly visualize how your pattern adjusts to different body dimensions.

Pattern Guide
If you want to learn how to make this pattern, you have a step by step instruction on how to. Follow detailed, illustrated guides that break down complex pattern-making into manageable steps.

But what about...
Do I need to be perfect?
No. People rarely see the inside of your clothes. A few crooked seams won't show on the outside, and you'll improve with each garment you make.
Doesn't it take forever?
A pair of trousers might take 16 hours to make. But they'll last for years, and you'll wear them knowing they fit perfectly.
Is fabric expensive?
Fabric prices stay stable—typically 200-300 kr per meter. No sales to chase, no price surprises. You know what you're investing in.
What if I don't have a sewing machine?
Most people have a friend or family member with a machine you can borrow. Many libraries and makerspaces also loan them out.
