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.

Victoria Z. ★★★★★

The 55 cm length is perfect for drafting long curves on full patterns, and the metric markings are crisp and easy to read. I've used it for waist adjustments and armhole shaping, and it glides smoothly across the paper without sticking.

Stella C. ★★★★★

The 55 cm length is great for drafting long, sweeping curves on patterns. It glides smoothly over the paper and the markings are crisp and easy to read. A solid tool for serious pattern making.

Abigail C. ★★★★★

The transparency is perfect for tracing over my patterns on thick paper, and the 23 cm straight edge on the side saves me from grabbing a second ruler. It's a solid 55 cm, so it covers even my widest skirt pieces.
