Fashion sketching or fashion flats can be defined as a base template one can use to create unique apparel designs. We have industry standard flat sketches that demonstrate a professional and accurate illustration of garments and important design details like topstitching, hardware, trims and fabric treatments.
After cutting, there are several pattern markings that help us put the project together accurately. Not all markings will be found on every project, as some are specific to a particular construction technique. Some construction markings need to be transferred to the fabric so they will be visible for placement and sewing; others, like seamlines, small arrows, etc. do not need to be transferred, only heeded during assembly. Check the pattern directions for more specific marking needs.
Where large quantities of a garment style must be cut, a layer is created which consists of many piles of fabric spread one above the other. From this, all the garment pieces for all the sizes that have been planned for that layer are cut. The pattern shapes for these garments may be drawn on a paper marker placed on top of the lay, or information as to their shape and position may be held within a computer, to be plotted similarly on a paper marker or used to drive an automatic cutter.
Cutting room is an extremely important section of the garment manufacturing process which has a major impact on the profitability of the business. It is therefore important to an efficient management of the cutting room in garment manufacturing process.
Some of the factors determine the properties of the fused laminate such as the basic fabric of the inner lining, methods of applying resins to base cloths – Scatter coating, dry dot printing, paste coating.
Before we lay out the fabric one needs to do the needful preparation for Fabric layout in garment manufacturing like folding the fabric correctly, pinning the pattern with the fabric, placing pattern pieces, matching grains by measuring and securing the pins to the grain lines and also that the pins should be properly placed and should be in right quantity.
The procedure of cutting layout of fabric is a vital aspect of textile and garment manufacturing that directly impacts cost efficiency, sustainability, and product quality. By understanding the procedures, considerations, and best practices involved, manufacturers can optimize their cutting layouts, reduce waste, and contribute to both economic and environmental sustainability in the fashion industry. Efficient cutting layouts not only save costs but also align with the growing demand for sustainable and responsible production practices.
There are various types of pattern making in garment manufacturing.
After purchasing fabric, pattern, notions, and preparing the fabric (on grain and re-shrunk / washed), you are ready to do the pattern layout. A layout is a plan for the placement of pattern pieces on the fabric.There are various categories of layout marking like grainlines, place of fold brackets, notches etc. There are also various methods of cutting marking such as single size, multi-size, and cutting in a particular body size.
There are 2 techniques of cutting fabric like portable cutting, stationary cutting.With the advancement in technology there have been improvements in fabric techniques also like Automated, Numerically Controlled cutting systems, which has Automatic blade cutting, Laser cutting, Water jet cutting, Die cutting etc.
