    I love over-complicating things… but Calculus in a sewing pattern sounds really strange.
    Unless… it is like for a space suit where you need to be accurate? Or making something for a form fitting hard surface?

      I imagine people are using calculus to analyze knitting patterns and stuff. Not the knitters themselves, but mathematicians who are studying knots or whatever
