Abstract
Abstract A pattern making device or means particularly for pants embodies a multi-section template for the front and rear sections of a single leg. The template sections are characterized by being totally free from one another and therefore individually movable in any direction. Critical hip measurement and crotch depth, as well as other garment dimensions, may be customized to suit the needs of an individual. When properly adjusted and sized a tracing is produced around the margin of the template to produce pattern sections on paper.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
220 words
A device for producing from sheet material a personalized garment pattern which may deviate in local regions from a standard pattern size, comprising a plurality of preformed separate freely independently movable relatively rigid template sections adapted to be arranged on said sheet material in plural coacting lateral and longitudinal pairs to outline collectively a pattern piece, said movable template sections being symmetrically arranged with respect to a longitudinal center line on said sheet material, each template section having an interior longitudinal straight edge parallel to said center line and at least one end transverse straight edge at right angles to the longitudinal straight edge of the template section, each template section having at least one exterior contoured edge defining a portion of the marginal shape of the personalized garment pattern piece produced by means of the template sections, said template sections collectively defining the marginal shape and size of a standard garment pattern piece when all of the longitudinal and transverse straight edges of said template sections are in abutment and the longitudinal straight edges are on said center line, selected lateral and longitudinal coacting pairs of said template sections being shiftable toward or away from each other while the longitudinal straight edges are parallel to said center line and symmetrical therewith to produce localized deviations in said garment pattern.
