At Bare Thread Patterns, we believe in complete transparency, human craftsmanship, and maintaining absolute precision in garment construction. As digital tools evolve, we want to be 100% clear about how technology is and is not used in our studio.
1. 100% Human-Drafted & Designed Patterns
No Artificial Intelligence is ever used to generate, draft, grade, or alter our sewing patterns.
-
Every garment design starts with personal technical sketches, hand-drafted vector lines, and precise manual grading in Adobe Illustrator to align with modern Ready-to-Wear sizing standards.
-
Every pattern undergoes real-world garment construction, physical sample sewing, pressing checks, and fit testing on actual human bodies before release.
-
All technical line drawings, visual step-by-step instruction diagrams, layout maps, and garment photography are created directly in our studio. We do not use AI generated images or AI rendered model imagery to represent our designs.
2. How Technology & AI Are Used
We utilize modern digital tools strictly as operational support to refine your reading experience and run a smooth online studio. The limited use of AI in our workflow is strictly restricted to:
-
Spelling, Grammar & Proofreading: Assisting with copy editing, text formatting, and typographical checks across our written instruction booklets, website text, and email communications.
Customer Support Assists: Formatting customer service responses, organizing legal policy documentation, and drafting clear troubleshooting steps for file downloads.
3. Our Commitment to the Sewing Community
We are deeply committed to protecting the art of traditional pattern drafting and supporting the independent maker community. When you buy a Bare Thread Pattern, you are investing in genuine human design, rigorous technical testing, and thoughtful, visual first instruction booklets built to last a lifetime of making.
