I’m looking for an experienced bag / soft‑goods patternmaker to create production‑ready patterns for a structured tote project.
Key points:
• Product: Medium‑sized open‑top gear tote with interior organization for sports items and daily‑carry essentials.
• Construction: Rectangular body with a reinforced structure, fabric shell, full lining, webbing handles, and multiple interior pockets.
• Interior: End‑wall pockets sized for cylindrical items and small gear, plus long‑wall sleeves for accessories (phone, wallet, etc.).[Memory]
• Materials: Woven performance fabric (similar to Cordura‑type), standard bag linings, and mesh for select pockets.[Memory]
I will provide:
• A written spec/brief with overall dimensions, pocket layout, and material notes.
• A list of required pattern pieces with finished measurements for all main panels and pockets.[Memory +1]
You will:
• Draft all pattern pieces (shell, reinforcement inserts, pockets, sleeves, lining, facings/bindings).
• Add seam allowances, notches, and grainlines appropriate for factory cutting.[techpacker +1]
• Deliver patterns as DXF or other CAD‑compatible files, and/or clean AI/PDF pattern sheets.
Please include:

• Portfolio links showing similar work.
• Tools used (Illustrator, CLO3D, Gerber, etc.).
• Typical pricing and timeline for a single structured tote style.
