to carried out a complete garments. Here I will show you all of the garments manufacturing steps
that you must follow to make a garment.
1. Design/ Sketch:
For the production of knit garments, or woven garments a sketch of a particular garment
including its design features is essential to produce on paper so that after manufacturing of that
garment could be verified or checked whether could be done manually or with the help of
computer.
2. Pattern Design:
Hard paper copy of each component of the garment of exact dimension of each component is
called pattern. The patterns also include seam allowance, trimming allowance, dirts, and pleats,
ease allowance, any special design etc affairs. Pattern design could also be done manually or
with the help of computer.
3. Sample Making:
The patterns are used to cut the fabric. Then the garment components in fabric form are used to
sew/assemble the garment. Sample garment manufacturing is to be done by a very efficient and
technically sound person.
4. Production Pattern:
The patterns of the approved sample garment are used for making production pattern. During
production pattern making, sometimes it may be necessary to modify patterns design if buyer or
appropriate authority suggests any minor modification.
5. Grading:
Normally for large scale garments production of any style needs different sizes to produce from a
set of particular size of patterns, the patterns of different sizes are produced by using grade rule
which is called grading.
6. Marker Making:
All the pattern pieces for all the required sizes are arranged n the paper in such a way so that
maximum number of garments could be produced with minimum fabric wastag4e. Markers are
made for 6, 12, 18, 24 etc. pieces. Marker is also useful to estimate fabric consumption
calculations.
7. Spreading:
It is the process of arranging fabrics on the spreading table as per length and width of the marker
in stack form. Normally height of the lay/fabric is limited upto maximum six inches high. But 4
inch to 5 inch height of the lay is safe.
8. Fabric Cutting:
On the fabric lay/spread the marker paper is placed carefully and accurately, and pinned with the
fabric to avoid unwanted movement or displacement of the marker paper. Normally straight
knife cutting machine is used to cut out the garment component as per exact dimension of each
patterns in stack form, care must be taken to avoid cutting defects.
9. Sorting/ Bundling:
After cutting the entire fabric lay, all the garments components in stack form is shorted out as per
size and color. To avoid mistake in sorting, it is better to use code number on each pattern.
11. Inspection:
Each and every garment after sewing passes through the inspection table/ point, where the
garments are thoroughly and carefully checked to detect/find any defect if present in the
garment. The defects may be for example variation of measurement, sewing defect, fabric
defects, spots etc. if the defect is possible to overcome, then the garment is sent to the respective
person for correction. If the defect is not correctionable, then the garment is separated as
wastage.
14. Packing:
After final inspection, the garments are poly-packed, dozen-wise, color wise, size ratio wise,
bundled and packed in the cartoon. The cartoon is marked with important information in printed
form which is seen from outside the cartoon easily. 15. Despatch: The cartoons of the
manufactured garments are delivered or placed in the despatch department or finished product
godown, from where the garments lot is delivered for shipment.
