Our Step-by-Step Pattern Making Process

Step 1: Design Analysis & Consultation We start by carefully reviewing your design sketches and technical specifications. Our experienced pattern makers work closely with you to understand the fit, style, and functionality requirements of your sportswear. This initial consultation is crucial for ensuring we capture your vision accurately.

Step 2: Base Pattern Creation Using industry-standard techniques, we create the foundation pattern from your measurements. This includes developing the basic blocks that will serve as the template for your garment construction. We pay special attention to the unique requirements of athletic wear during this phase.

Step 3: Pattern Development & Modification We refine and modify the base patterns according to your design requirements. This step involves adding style lines, adjusting fit, and incorporating technical features specific to sportswear functionality. Every detail is carefully considered to ensure optimal performance.

Step 4: Sample Creation & Fitting A prototype is created using the initial patterns. We conduct thorough fit sessions and make necessary adjustments to ensure perfect fit and comfort for athletic performance. Multiple fittings may be required to achieve the ideal result.

Step 5: Final Pattern Approval Once you’re completely satisfied with the fit and design, we finalize the patterns with all necessary markings, notches, and construction details for seamless production. Quality control is our priority at this final stage.
