Effortless Elegance

Simplify work with Pixie magic.


pixie space

A space for your style.

Free browser-native drafting, from design to production. No installation, and drafting needs no login.

A complete 2D CAD canvas where a design starts, or loads in. The drafting tools you'd reach for in AutoCAD, and pen-and-pull curves in the lineage of Illustrator and Procreate, in your browser. Draft here, then take it onward: a 3D fit test, markers, and cut files. For fashion designers and pattern makers, quilters, sticker makers, floor planners, and professionals across trades.

Under construction.

Create

A quiet canvas with the drafting tools you'd expect. Lines, arcs, splines, polylines, hatches, text. Dimensions and relations on the elements that need them. Sketch quickly, refine deliberately.

  • Pen and pull: click points for a smooth curve, then pull its handles to shape it.
  • Curvature tool, French curve presets, and a freehand pencil that snaps to clean shapes.
  • Snap, polar tracking, ortho, grid, direct distance entry.
  • Selection that scales: window, crossing, fence, polygon, by type or layer.
  • Vertex grips and inquiry tools (distance, angle, area).
  • Local-first. Your drawing, your machine, your control.

Integrate

Pixie Space speaks the formats your pipeline already uses. Bring drawings in from upstream tools, send them onward when you're done.

  • Read and write: pspace, dxf, aama.
  • Export: PDF, SVG.
  • DXF round-trip carries blocks, hatches, text and dimension styles, layer linetypes.
  • Print and plot to scale: 1:1, 1:50, 1/4 inch equals 1 foot, or any ratio. Multi-page tiling with registration marks.
  • No conversion server, no upload, no waiting.

Fashion pattern making

Draft sewing patterns the way you already do. Round-trip AAMA markers with production partners. Print or plot to scale at 1:1 for full-size patterns, or tile across multiple sheets for home printing. Then sew the pattern together, place it on a body, and see it drape.

  • DXF, AAMA, and pspace round-trip.
  • Plot to scale at any ratio with multi-page tiling and registration marks.
  • Sewing and placement live on the canvas: draw sewing between pieces yourself, or let Gravity auto sew and Gravity auto place propose them, correct it, and re-run.
  • Generation magic pencil, drawing help trained on real garment patterns: a freehand stroke becomes a clean pattern edge.
  • Pixie Hologram, live now, sews your real pattern together and drapes it on a 3D body: a fit test before you cut.
  • Pixie Warp (coming) grades your pattern directly from a POM spec table, for graded sizes or a made-to-measure fit. No grade rules to author.
  • Pixie Kaleido (coming) nests your pieces into a cutting marker.

Vinyl & Stickers

Author the cut the way a vinyl tool does. Type and weld lettering into one path, cut text in a font straight or along a curve, contour a cut line around art, and size it to exact dimensions. Free, in the browser, no login.

  • Weld, text-to-path, arc text, contour, outline-stroke, and exact sizing.
  • Registration marks and weeding lines on a tagged cut layer, with cut order and a material per layer.
  • Cut-ready PLT for the vinyl cutter, plus SVG, DXF, and PDF. Place variable-data slots and preview a CSV.
  • Pixie Crucis (coming) nests your cut into sheets and rolls, for runs of many.

Quilting

Draft quilt blocks on a grid that holds your finished block size, audition fabrics in a color mockup, and lay a whole quilt top with sashing and borders. Free, in the browser, no login.

  • Pieced units at their finished size: half-square triangles, quarter-square triangles, flying geese.
  • Quilt curves for curved piecing and applique: Drunkard's Path, clamshell, orange peel. Pull to refine like any pen path.
  • Define a block once, then lay it straight or on point with sashing, cornerstones, and borders, or place blocks one by one for samplers and medallions.
  • A fabric is a layer: recolor it and every patch updates. Switch between the fabric mockup and a printable coloring page.
  • Seam allowance on the layer, previewed as a cut line beside the finished line.

Floor plans

Lay out rooms, doors, windows, and fixtures with dimensions you can trust. Hatches mark wall fills and floor finishes. Layers separate structure from electrical from plumbing from furniture. Print or plot to scale, 1:50 for the overview, 1:1 for the detail.

  • DXF for the contractor's CAD, PDF for the client review, SVG for the listing photo.
  • Local-first. The apartment plan stays on your laptop unless you send it.

Future

  • The Apparel, Vinyl & Stickers, and Quilting tool scopes are live now; more trade presets to come: floor plans, leatherwork.
  • Design to production continues: Pixie Warp grades straight from POMs with no grade rules to author, Pixie Kaleido nests the cutting marker, and Pixie Crucis nests vinyl runs.
