The Pattern Blocks Archive is a collection of digitalised clothing patterns. Use the patterns to create authentic vintage styles. These patterns can be used for both digital fashion and costume design.
Real vintage patterns are hard to come by, especially in a digital pdf format. The Pattern Blocks Archive aims to make vintage patterns more accessible to more designers.
All pattern pieces are named and written instructions are provided on the pattern, making it easier to understand for beginners.
The patterns are meant to be traced in any cloth or pattern software, then fitted to the desired size.
These vintage pattern pdf's are free to download, and we'll work to expand the archive as much as possible. If you're interesting in adding to the archive, reach out to Charlotte directly.
You can return physical items within 30 days of delivery, unused and in their original packaging. Return shipping is at your own cost. Digital products can't be returned once downloaded. Email info@blauwfilms.com first and we'll send you the return details.

During our Research and Development of the creation of 3D characters and clothing we discovered about the need for archival clothing patterns that express the time they come from. By scanning and digitalising the original paper patterns, we can digitize the pattern extraction process and protect the original paper patterns from use. The preservation of commercial paper patterns is the main objective of The Pattern Blocks Archive.
