0:00 Intro Into Creating Cut N Sew Apparel From Start To finish
Step 1: 1:09 Planning and Development
During planning and development phase you will figure out your target price points, lead times, the apparel products you are making and the ideal design for them all.
Step 2: 1:45 Sourcing Fabrics
Once you figure out exactly what you are creating, the next step is in sourcing the materials you need for your clothing line. By being located in Downtown Los Angeles Indie Source is able to source any fabric you need for manufacturing your designs.
Step 3: 2:54 Pattern Making
The patterns are the blueprint to your fashion line and are used to sew the fabrics together to create your designs. It’s important that you start with the best patterns possible, as any mistakes made in this process create problems for your brand in production.
Step 4: 4:55 Cutting The Fabric
The next step in the process is cutting the fabrics with the patterns that were created.
Step 5: 5:26 Sewing Your Samples
The sampling process brings your streetwear, product or fashion line to life. A small team is in charge of making this happen.
Step 6: 7:18 Fitting The Product
During the fitting process the pattern maker and project manager take notes based on the feedback from the clothing designer. The adjustments are made before it goes to production. You may have to go through numerous fittings before you approve it for manufacturing.
Step 6.5: Pattern Grading and Marking
This is a step we missed during the shoot, but is a key element to the manufacturing of your clothing designs. During pattern grading your base size is turned into additional sizes. This means they will make small, medium, large, x-large, XXL etc. Once those patterns are made they are then organized on the fabrics you chose in a way that will fit as many pieces onto the space as possible (marking).
Step 7: 9:24 Production
The production process involves mass cutting and sewing of your clothing line. This makes it possible to deliver thousands of units in a short amount of time.
Step 8: 9:35 Quality Control
Once the mass cutting and sewing is completed they are inspected to ensure you get the best product possible.
