Normally the pattern maker starts with a 2D sketch or drawing coupled with measurements which facilitates the creation of a basic pattern.
This pattern is the foundation and starting point that’s fitted to the body with a little room for comfort and movement.
There are a few methods that a Pattern Maker can adopt:
- Drafting
- Draping
- Flat paper pattern making
- Rub-offs
We can create your pattern from original sketches, photos, samples or specification sheets.
We work with all clothes lines and styles including men’s, women’s, kids, evening gowns, active wear, denim and wedding/event clothing and costumes, plus size and contemporary.
Sample Making
To accomplish a perfect final product or item, most of the time it’s critical that you have a proper sample of your garment made.
We use fabric that is similar to or the same as the fabric you will use in the final product so that you can get a clear sense of what your final clothing garment will look and feel like.
We partner with experienced and qualified sample makers that sew beautiful samples with any desired details and finishes.
Grading
Grading is the process of sizing your garment larger and smaller than the sample size.
We are able to follow industry standards for each type of garment and size range, or follow your own unique grade rules.
After the pattern has been graded, a production marker is created.
A professional then arranges the full range of sizes on the width of your fabric to create a cutting guide for maximum fabric efficiency.
