Idea Generation ► The process by which new DESIGNS are deliberately produced ► Fashion designers are assigned for this process ► Idea generation Trip to get idea ► Idea about Color received from Color forecasting magazines like ColorTrends, Color Decoder etc. ► Spring/Summer forecasted color: Coral
Sketch • Sketch of a particular garment including its design features is essential on paper • Sample garment are produced and verified with its sketch • Could be done manually or with the software, popular software is kaledo style of Lectra
Pattern design • Hard paper copy of each component of a garment of exact size and shape • Pattern also include seam allowance, shrinkage of the fabric trimming allowance, dart etc • Could be done manually or with the help of a computer
Sample Making • Patterns are used to cut fabric • Cut components are assembled to make a sample garment • Usually done by a very efficient and technically sound person
Production Pattern • Pattern of the approved sample garments are used to make production pattern • Minor modification may done on production pattern if buyer have any advice.
Gradding • Stepwise increase or decrease of a master pattern • To get the pattern of all size from a master pattern • Could be done manually or with the help of software
Marker Making • All the pattern pieces for the required sizes are arranged in the paper in such a way so that required number of different size garments may be produced with minimum fabric wastage • Used for calculation of exact consumption of fabric • Could be done manually and with the help of computer
Spreading • Process of arranging fabric on the cutting table to cut • Height of the lay is limited up to maximum six inch • Could be done manually or mechanically
Cutting • Normally straight knife cutting machine is used to cut out the garment component as per exact dimension of the pattern • Care must be taken to avoid cutting defects
Printing and embroidery • These two process are done before sewing • Both printing and embroidery requires flat form of the fabric for processing
Sewing • Cut pieces of fabric is assembled in this process • Most important section of garment manufacturing unit • Vertical line balancing is done to produce a specific garment • Numbers of sewing machine per line varies from 15 to 60 depending on style of the garment
Finishing • After passing through inspection table, all garments are normally go through thread sucking machine to remove floating dirt, measured and ironed/pressed to remove unwanted crease and to improve smoothness
