Try AutoStitch ↗The problem
A tech pack tells a manufacturer how to make a garment, from sketches and measurements to fabrics and stitching. Designers often assemble it across Illustrator, spreadsheets, and PDFs, repeatedly entering information and measuring physical samples.
Our research with designers and manufacturers highlighted lengthy revisions, inconsistent documents, and a lack of reusable measurement records. Creating and revising a tech pack could take weeks or months.
The product
Our team built AutoStitch to connect design and documentation. Designers sketch garments with vector tools, extract measurements, choose fabrics, add annotations and construction details, and export a standardized PDF tech pack.
The application uses React with a Node.js and TypeScript backend, packaged with Electron for desktop use.
Learning from users
Testing involved three main partners, 12 SCAD students, and five freelance designers. Their feedback shaped the product: annotations, fabric textures, and stitching details were implemented, while requests to adjust measurements before export informed the review flow.
The team’s testing summary reported that 70% of testers experienced significant time savings. These conversations and tests helped us prioritize the details designers need to communicate clearly with manufacturers.

Inside AutoStitch
From the design canvas to the manufacturing handoff.
Sketch and specify
Design garments on a vector canvas, apply fabric textures, and keep measurements and construction details alongside the sketch.
Review measurements
Check the extracted dimensions before export. Adjust the global scale and review measurements in context on the garment.
Prepare the tech pack
Add product information, load a saved preset, and export a standardized PDF for the manufacturing handoff.
Organize designs
Keep design projects, recent work, and favorites together, with a clear starting point for creating a new garment.
