The "patterns" you refer to can be commercially produced & available (by McCalls, Butterick, Vogue, etc.). They usually include instructions for how to lay out the pattern on the fabric; instructions for how to sew the pieces together; suggested fabrics for the garment; notions (thread, buttons, zipper, snaps, etc.) suggestions; and fabric quantity suggestions (depending on which size garment you are making and the width of the fabric you will be using). Designers, however, create their own patterns from scratch.
