APPAREL PATTERNMAKING |
After the garment design sketching is complete, the patternmaking begins. This is by far the most important step in the apparel design process. The fit of a garment is the single most important reason a customer buys apparel. It is also why a customer becomes loyal to a particular brand. And, it is the single most compelling reason a customer makes a return. With these facts in mind, it is essential that you pay special attention to this step in the apparel design process. If you make good choices here, it can save you money and headaches later.
Patterns can be hand drafted or they can be created using CAD patternmaking software. Both methods can provide you with industry appropriate products for use in manufacturing. Both methods have inherent advantages and disadvantages. Your choice will be based on several criteria: cost, speed of service, grading, and marker services.
I am capable of hand drafting patterns for men's, women's, and children's apparel. I also have experience with TUKA CAD patternmaking software. With TUKA software, you can take advantage of local vendors that provide electronic cutting services for small run quantities.
