| Know before using | This is a Thai-language senior-level qualification standard, not beginner instruction, a ready pattern, course or provider list, enrollment offer, universal drafting or sizing system, professional license, individual certification record, practitioner directory, hiring recommendation, or proof of competence or product fit. It does not establish that a 2026 assessment place is open. Confirm the current framework, translation, assessment organization, eligibility, evidence, fees, timing, certificate status, role scope, portfolio, systems, representative samples, and project acceptance criteria directly. | Community members add and quality-control the records, so confirm sizing, measurements, fabric suggestions, format, availability, errata, license, and purchase terms with the designer or publisher. Adding an entry to a stash does not provide the pattern files. Saved searches and private PDF storage are paid Plus features, and a listing or review does not establish pattern accuracy or fit. | Textillia is community-contributed and now runs with minimal maintenance, so record freshness, coverage, moderation speed, and continued availability require direct inspection. It does not sell the indexed patterns or materials. Confirm pattern files, sizing, measurements, availability, licence, errata, fabric details, and seller terms with the responsible designer, publisher, or manufacturer. Account deletion permanently removes uploaded projects, and the checked pages do not establish a complete export route. |

| Source and review | |||
| What the source establishes | Thailand's TPQI-NET publishes this July 20, 2023 revision for the textile and garment profession, garment sewing branch, Pattern Maker Level 5. It contains two competency units: creating patterns for garment production and assessing consumer needs. Patternmaking elements cover analyzing a form to create a pattern, creating and completing the pattern, and developing a suitable production-standard pattern. Criteria include accounting for fabric and decorative materials, preparing equipment, constructing the specified pattern, checking and improving it for production, and developing the process. Assessment uses interviews and work demonstrations. Eligibility requires at least three years of patternmaking experience, and the stated target group is pattern department managers and senior pattern managers. | Threadloop's official guide describes an independent, fully crowdsourced database covering available and out-of-print sewing patterns. Its search supports pattern type, fabric type, age group, body type, cup size, level, format, file features, language, measurements, availability, and other filters; members can also track a stash, wishlist, projects, reviews, and discussions. Current terms state that the free plan requires no card, paid upgrades start billing immediately, cancellation retains paid features through the current cycle, and the account then returns to free features. | Textillia's current about page describes an independent, centralized, crowdsourced database that cross-references sewing patterns, materials, resources, projects, designers, companies, and shops. Its FAQ says the site does not sell patterns or fabric, logged-in members can add records, full database access uses a free account, and paid memberships will not launch. A February 2026 notice says the dissolved company will continue the site as a donation-supported hobby project with minimal maintenance and reduced active development. |
