KATAPATA creates sewing slopers, not finished garment patterns.

A sloper is a foundation for pattern development. To make a blouse, dress, skirt, or pants pattern, you still need to add design ease, style lines, construction details, and seam allowances as required.

We recommend making a test garment and checking the fit before cutting your final fabric.
