patanQ

Draft real sewing patterns right on your phone.

Making patterns for sewing and handmade projects usually means spreading out large sheets of paper and measuring everything by hand. patanQ lets you do it all on your iPhone or iPad screen instead. Combine a wide range of shape tools to draft exactly the pattern you need, quickly and easily.

Shape Tools 7 shape tools let you draw anything from simple pieces to complex parts.

• Rectangle: sharp corners, no rounding
• Trapezoid: automatically generates a clean, symmetrical trapezoid
• Circle & Ellipse: adjust width and height independently
• Triangle: tap 3 points to draw any triangle
• Line: use for seam allowances or guide lines
• Curve (Bezier): draw smooth curved pieces

Editing Shapes

• Drag to move any shape freely
• Pull the handles to resize
• Use the rotation handle to adjust the angle
• Flip horizontally or vertically
• Duplicate a shape to quickly reuse a piece

Paper Sizes 10 sizes — A1–A5 and B1–B5 (JIS) — in either portrait or landscape. Draft patterns at true size, ready to print exactly as designed.

Dimension Lines Shows the length of every edge (in mm) right on the canvas, so you can check your measurements as you draft and avoid sizing mistakes.

Print & Export Export any pattern as a PDF.

• AirPrint: print wirelessly to your printer at home
• Convenience store printing: upload the PDF to a Japanese network print service and save the QR code it issues — a handy way to print large sizes (available when using the app in Japanese)
• Share PDF: send the file however you like — AirDrop, email, cloud storage, and more

Manage Multiple Patterns Save and organize as many patterns as you like. Renaming and deleting are just as easy. Reopen an unfinished pattern anytime and pick up right where you left off.

Serious pattern drafting, made simple. Bring it into your everyday handmade projects.
