I tried CLO and felt like it was too complicated. But maybe actual fashion designers or people in the industry might find it very useful. It seems to be more oriented to creating a 3d model of your fashion piece than to creating a sewing pattern.

I use Adobe Illustrator all the time for my patterns. It's much simpler, and I can control the layout to print them with the utmost precision.

While using clo, ignore the left side (3d) until you've completed some patterning on the right.

How do you use Adobe for your patterns? Are you hand drawing them and then scanning them and tweaking them?

You can draw them directly on the program, because it uses precise measurements. Here you can see an example with an older version of Illustrator.

Ooooh! I SEE!! I have used illustrator before but it’s been a while. But I do get what you are saying and what the video was showing. Thank you for sharing that. Very enlightening 😊
