Pattern Making Rulers / Curved Digital Rulers / French Curve / Hip Variform Ruler / Instant Download / Printable

Are you creating or editing garment patterns inside of a vector program such as Illustrator? Are you frustrated trying to get the right curves on your digital patterns in your program? I designed these Digital Curved Rulers to make Digital Patternmaking feel a little bit more like the real thing and finally achieve those perfectly curved necklines, sleeve caps, hips, and more.

his bundle includes three industry standard curve rulers - the Variform (hip) Curve, French Curve, and Hip Curve. All are to-scale and marked (cm & inches) to help you create accurate curves on your digital patterns in your favorite vector program (such as Adobe Illustrator). It even comes with a printable version just in case you need it!

These rulers have been created for digital patternmaking in Adobe Illustrator. See the video below for how to use these rulers to streamline and improve your digital patternmaking process.
