Long-Term Project: Convert 600 Sewing Patterns into Projector Files

Posted 2 weeks ago

Worldwide

Summary

We have a large sewing patter catalog of over 600 digital patterns (currently available in A4, A0, and US-Letter formats). We are looking for a meticulous vector graphic specialist or experienced digital pattern maker for a long-term collaboration to convert our entire catalog into optimized Projector Sewing Files. This is a big project that will be executed in phases. We will start with a paid test trial (1-2 patterns), followed by a first batch of 50 Bestsellers, with the goal of converting all 600 patterns over the coming months. Your Tasks & Technical Specifications: You will take our existing files and adapt them to meet the strict standards of the projector-sewing community. Every file must include: Perfect Layer Management: Every single size must be on its own, clearly named, and separately toggleable layer. Unfolded Pieces: Any pattern pieces currently designed to be "cut on fold" must be fully mirrored, unfolded, and joined into a single full piece. Massive Margins: Adjust the artboard to include at least 40–50 cm of blank white space all around the pattern layout to allow for easy scrolling. High-Contrast & Visibility: Increase line weights to 3–4 pt using high-contrast colors per size. Increase all pattern annotations and text fonts to 24–36 pt so they are easily readable from a distance. Calibration Grid: Add a dedicated layer containing a mathematically perfect, full-page calibration grid (with both 2x2 cm and 1x1 inch squares). Requirements: Expert skills in Adobe Illustrator Experience with digital sewing patterns and grading workflows is a huge plus. Extreme attention to detail (a single misplaced line on a layer ruins the fabric for our customers). Reliability and ability to handle large bulk workloads within agreed deadlines. How to Apply: Please start your application with the word "BEAMER" so we know you have read the entire description. Applications without this word will be automatically rejected. Provide examples of digital sewing patterns or vector layering work you have done in the past. We are looking forward to a great, long-term partnership!
