Atacac sharewear no.2

We believe in open source fashion

As a part of our belief in transparency Atacac would like to share the pattern and 3D-model for this garment. As per our philosophy, this garment is free to download. However, we appreciate your support of our development by donating 10€ or 30€. 

Description

Example of a long sleeve T-shirt pattern drafted from the tailoring matrix. Note the red straight lines from the tailoring matrix that has been used to draft the pattern. Print it out on a large scale plotter or use the tile function while printing on a normal printer and print it in small pieces and then tape it together.

The red straight lines on the PDF are from the tailoring matrix that has been used to draft the pattern. Drafting systems that incorporate vertical and horizontal lines, connected at right angles in this manner, imply a certain quantitative approximation of the body, which has little to do with how the body interacts with the fabric, but which is easy to communicate with precision, facilitates reproduction of patterns and styles, and is thus widely spread because of its practical applications.

For more background info and context please see chapter 2.3 in Kinetic Garment Construction.

Print the pattern out on a large scale plotter or use the tile function if printing on a normal printer and print it in small pieces and then tape the pattern together.

When downloading you will get 4 different files. A png illustrating the garment, a pdf ready for print, a dfx that can be imported into any CAD/CAM software and a ZPrj with the pattern assembled in 3D. The ZPrj file can be viewed and  altered in CLO.
