Upload a photo of any garment — from your closet, a fashion magazine, or online store — and StitchLift's AI creates a complete multi-size sewing pattern with all pieces, seam allowances, and grain lines.
Three steps from garment photo to printable sewing pattern
Take or select a clear photo of the garment you want to recreate. Front-facing shots on a plain background work best. Supported formats include JPG, PNG, and WebP up to 10MB. The AI analyzes silhouette, neckline, sleeves, length, closures, and visible construction details automatically.
StitchLift's AI processes the image to identify every construction element it can see — neckline type (V-neck, scoop, square, boat), sleeve style (set-in, raglan, dolman, kimono), silhouette (A-line, fit-and-flare, sheath, shift), hem type, closure details, and overall proportions. You can review and correct the AI's interpretation before the pattern is generated.
Once confirmed, the AI generates all pattern pieces with multi-size grading from XS to 3XL, seam allowances, grain lines, notches, and piece labels. Use the built-in editor to fine-tune any detail, then export as A4, US Letter, or A0 PDF. Print, assemble, and sew your recreation.
Everything you need to turn any garment image into a sewable pattern
Automatically identifies neckline, sleeve style, silhouette, hem type, closure, length, and proportions from any garment photo. The AI recognizes dozens of garment types including dresses, tops, jackets, pants, skirts, and bags.
Use photos from your camera, screenshots from online shopping sites, fashion magazine scans, vintage catalog images, or hand-drawn sketches. The AI adapts to different image qualities and angles.
Every photo-generated pattern includes nested sizes from XS to 3XL. No need to manually grade each size — the AI handles it automatically. Cut any size or grade between sizes for a custom fit.
All pattern pieces include correct seam allowances, grain lines, notches, and labels. Choose between standard 1.5cm (5/8 inch) or custom seam allowance widths. Darts, pleats, and gathers are marked clearly.
Before the pattern is created, review the AI's interpretation of your garment. Correct any misidentified details — change the neckline type, adjust sleeve style, or refine the silhouette. This step ensures the generated pattern matches what you actually see in the photo.
All photo-generated patterns save to your cloud library automatically. Access them from any device, share with collaborators, duplicate for variations, and organize by project. Never lose a pattern recreation.
Recreate any garment you see with AI-powered pattern generation
Found a perfect vintage dress that does not fit? Upload a photo and recreate it in your size. The photo-to-pattern generator is ideal for reverse-engineering one-of-a-kind thrift store and vintage market finds.
Have a worn-out favorite garment you want to replace? Take a photo before it falls apart and generate a pattern to sew a new one. Perfect for preserving well-loved pieces that are no longer available in stores.
Study garment construction by uploading photos of designer pieces and examining the AI-generated patterns. Understand how different silhouettes, sleeves, and necklines are constructed without reverse-engineering by hand.
See a dress you love on Instagram or a shopping site but cannot afford it? Take a screenshot, upload it to StitchLift, and generate a pattern to sew your own version in the fabric and size of your choice.
Yes. StitchLift's AI analyzes uploaded garment photos to identify the silhouette, construction details, and style elements, then generates complete sewing pattern pieces with seam allowances, grain lines, and multi-size grading from XS to 3XL. The entire process takes under a minute for most garments.
Clear, front-facing photos of the full garment on a plain background work best. The AI can analyze photos from fashion magazines, online shopping sites, your own closet, or sketches. Multiple angles improve accuracy but are not required. Avoid busy backgrounds, heavy shadows, or heavily folded garments. Well-lit, flat-lay photos produce the best results.
StitchLift's free plan includes 20 lifetime patterns that can be generated from either text descriptions or photos. You can upload photos and generate patterns without a credit card. The free plan includes A4 and US Letter export with watermarked output. Paid plans start at $34/month for higher volume, A0 export, and commercial licensing.
StitchLift supports JPG, PNG, and WebP image uploads up to 10MB per file. The AI works with photos of existing garments, fashion sketches, screenshots from online stores, magazine clippings, or catalog images. Maximum resolution is limited only by the file size constraint.
The AI identifies visible construction elements including neckline type (V-neck, scoop, square, boat, sweetheart), sleeve style (set-in, raglan, dolman, kimono, cap, puff), silhouette shape (A-line, fit-and-flare, sheath, shift, peplum), hem type, closure details, and overall length. You review and correct the AI's interpretation before the pattern is generated. The built-in editor allows further refinement after generation.
Yes. StitchLift works well with photos of vintage and thrifted garments. Upload a photo of a vintage dress or jacket you found at a thrift store, and the AI will generate a pattern so you can recreate it in your size. This is one of the most popular use cases for the photo-to-pattern feature — preserving and reproducing vintage designs that are no longer sold.
Photo-generated patterns export as PDF in A0 (large-format print shops), A4 (international home printers), and US Letter (North American home printers). All exports include tiled pages with overlap marks, labeled pieces, grain lines, and notches. Paid plans also support SVG and DXF export for projector cutting or digital cutting machines like Cricut or Silhouette.
