About Robin The Baddie

Robin The Baddie (RTB) is a 1-of-1 upcycled and reconstructed streetwear line. We take existing garments apart and rebuild them into something new — which means our pattern work starts with deconstruction, not a blank page.

Role Overview

We're looking for a Pattern Maker who can take an existing garment, break it down to understand how it was built, and turn that into a usable, adjustable pattern. This isn't standard flat-pattern-from-scratch work — you'll be reverse-engineering finished pieces (often vintage or secondhand) and translating them into patterns we can modify, grade, and reproduce as 1-of-1 or small-batch pieces.

Core Responsibilities

Deconstruction: Rip seams and disassemble garments cleanly to preserve panel shapes, seam allowances, and construction details
Pattern drafting from existing garments: Convert deconstructed panels into an accurate, clean pattern (block/sloper) reflecting the original construction
Pattern correction & improvement: Identify fit, drape, or construction issues in the original garment and correct them in the new pattern
Grading: Size patterns up and down accurately across a size range while preserving proportion and fit intent
Fit adjustments: Modify patterns for specific fit changes (e.g., cropped length, looser sleeve, altered silhouette) based on design direction
Documentation: Label and organize pattern pieces, seam allowances, and notches clearly for repeatable use
Collaboration: Work directly with the designer to translate reconstruction concepts into technically sound patterns

Requirements

Proven experience in pattern making, pattern grading, and garment construction
Strong hand-pattern skills (digital/CAD patternmaking — e.g., Gerber, Optitex — a plus but not required)
Experience deconstructing/reverse-engineering existing garments
Understanding of garment fit across multiple body types and sizes
Comfortable working with unconventional, vintage, or damaged source materials
Strong attention to detail and clean, organized pattern documentation
Ability to problem-solve fit and construction issues independently

Nice to Have

Background in upcycled/reconstructed or streetwear design
Draping experience in addition to flat patternmaking
Familiarity with grading rules for both up-sizing and down-sizing
Portfolio of prior deconstruction/reconstruction pattern work

What to Submit

Portfolio or photos of prior pattern work (especially any deconstruction/reconstruction projects)
Brief description of your process for taking a finished garment and turning it into a pattern
Availability and rate (per project or hourly)

Pay: $17.00 - $20.00 per hour

Benefits:

Flexible schedule

Work Location: Hybrid remote in Brooklyn, NY 11201
