Metric French Curve Ruler for Sewing & Pattern Making

This 55 cm metric French curve ruler is a versatile pattern-making tool designed for drafting, adjusting and creating smooth curves when working with sewing patterns.

Its combination of straight and curved measuring edges makes it especially useful for garment construction. Use it to draw and refine necklines, armholes, hip curves, waistlines, crotch curves and other shaped areas of a sewing pattern.

The ruler also features a 23 cm straight ruler section, allowing you to switch between straight measurements and curved pattern lines without constantly changing tools.

Made from transparent plastic with highly visible pink metric markings, the ruler allows you to see your pattern lines and markings underneath while drafting or making adjustments.

Perfect for Pattern Drafting & Alterations

A French curve ruler is a useful addition to any sewing or pattern-making toolkit. It can be used for drafting patterns from scratch as well as modifying commercial sewing patterns for a more customized fit.

Use it for:

• Drafting sewing patterns
• Drawing smooth armhole curves
• Shaping necklines
• Drafting hip and waist curves
• Adjusting crotch curves
• Blending between pattern sizes
• Pattern alterations and fitting adjustments
• Adding or adjusting seam allowances
• Garment design and pattern development

Why Use a French Curve Ruler?

Unlike a standard straight ruler, a French curve ruler provides multiple curved edges that help create smooth, consistent lines. This makes it particularly helpful when drafting the curved areas commonly found in garment sewing patterns.

The transparent construction makes it easier to position the ruler accurately over existing pattern lines, while the metric markings allow for precise measurements in centimetres.
