• Related模型もけいNeutralA model made to resemble a real object; only a related idea — it never refers to the paper pattern used for cutting cloth.
• Related青写真あおじゃしんWrittenWritten word for a blueprint, often figuratively a plan for the future; a related concept only, never the dressmaker's paper pattern.
• Related図案ずあんNeutralA design drawing for artworks and crafts, centering on the decorative pattern or composition; not a template for cutting.
• RelatedモデルNeutralLoanword covering models, fashion models and product versions; its range is wide, and it is not the specific word for a cutting pattern the way 「型紙」 is.
• Related製図せいずWrittenWritten word for drafting to measurements; in sewing too, drawing the pattern is 「製図」, while 「型紙」 is the paper cut out from that drawing.
• RelatedデザインNeutralLoanword for design or styling; it concerns the overall concept of a piece, not the physical template.
• Related雛形ひながたWrittenWritten word for a miniature replica or a prescribed document format; it centers on samples and standard forms, not the paper used in cutting or dyeing.

Use 「型紙」 for the paper template used to cut cloth or stencil fabric, as in 「洋服の型紙」 and 「型紙染め」. For patterns in general say 「パターン」, for document formats or templates 「雛形」, and for design 「デザイン」; the rest are only related concepts.
