The mobile app designed for home sewists and DIY designers. Self-drafting full-size patterns by hand can be expensive and time-consuming, and that's where Upscale Patterns steps in. Our app allows you to draft half-scale patterns, significantly reducing the time and cost involved. The real magic happens during the conversion process from half scale to full scale, where upscale Patterns becomes an indispensable tool for the modern sewing enthusiast. The app takes into consideration the usage of ink and has minimal quality output setting. Therefore it is advised to use a fine width marker for interior notations.
