    APPAREL DESIGNING
    WHAT IS APPAREL PRODUCTION?
    Apparel production, also known as garment production is a process
    where fabric is being converted into garments. The term apparel
    production is basically used when garments are manufactured in a
    factory. Traditionally apparel manufacturing factories has been divided
    into two sectors as domestic and export

    WHAT IS APPAREL DESIGNING?


    Fashion designing is the art of designing clothing, fashion, accessories,
    etc. Apparel designing is a more technical term pertaining to the specific
    act of creating clothing from nuts to bolts. ... Apparel designing is a more
    technical term pertaining to the specific act of creating clothing from
    nuts to bolts

    WHAT ALL APPAREL INCLUDES?


    Apparel is a broader, more general term that usually
    includes all clothing, shoes, jewelry, bags, accessories, etc.
    (“the apparel industry”). Attire is used to describe a more
    specific set of apparel, such as “work attire” or “formal
    attire.” Unlike apparel, the noun attire almost never
    appears unmodified.
    MANUFACTURING STEPS

    STEP-1:-RECEIVING FABRICS

    Garment factories receive fabric from overseas textile


    manufacturers in large bolts with cardboard or plastic
    centre tubes or in piles or bags. The fabric typically
    arrives in steel commercial shipping containers and is
    unloaded with a forklift. Garment factories often have a
    warehouse or dedicated area to store fabric between
    arrival and manufacturing.
    MANUFACTURING STEPS

    STEP-2:-FABRIC RELAXING

    “Relaxing” refers to the process that allows the material


    to relax and contract prior to being manufactured. This
    step is necessary because the material is continually
    under tension throughout the various stages of the textile
    manufacturing process, including weaving, dyeing, and
    other finishing processes. The relaxing process allows
    fabrics to shrink so that further shrinkage during
    customer use is minimized.
    MANUFACTURING STEPS

    STEP-3:-SPREADING, FORM LAYOUT & CUTTING

    After the fabric has been relaxed, it is transferred to the


    spreading and cutting area of the garment manufacturing
    facility. The fabric is first to cut into uniform plies and then
    spread either manually or using a computer-controlled system
    in preparation for the cutting process. The fabric is spread to:
    allow operators to identify fabric defects;
    control the tension and slack of the fabric during cutting;
    ensure each ply is accurately aligned on top of the others.

    MANUFACTURING STEPS

    STEP-4:-LAYING

    Laying of paper pattern helps one to plan the placement of the pattern
    pieces in a tentative manner.
    Lay large pieces first and then fit in the smaller ones
    It is very economical in laying the pattern and cutting. Even a small
    amount of material saved in a single layer will help to bring about a
    large saving of money as hundred’s of layers of fabric will be laid and
    cut simultaneously.
    Parts that have to be placed on the fold should be exactly on the
    edge of the fold.
    MANUFACTURING STEPS

    STEP-5:-MARKING

    This can be a manual or a computerized technique


    The marker planner uses full-size patterns and arranges them in an
    economical manner on marker paper.
    This is a specially printed paper having symbols on it which enable the
    marker planner to visually control the positioning of components
    according to specified grain lines.
    Markers produced on paper are fixed to fabric with pins, staples or on
    an adhesive paper which is heat sealed to the top layer of the fabric.

    MANUFACTURING STEPS

    STEP-6:-CUTTING

    This is the major operation of the cutting room when they spread
    and cut into garments. Of all the operations in the cutting room,
    this is the most decisive, because once the fabric has been cut,
    very little can be done to rectify serious defects.
    A first planning consideration is whether the totals arrived at
    in the cutting room are the same as those required to maintain
    full production in the sewing room and subsequently the
    planned delivery schedule.
    MANUFACTURING STEPS

    STEP-7:-EMBROIDERY & SCREEN PRINTING

    Embroidery and screen printing are two processes that occur only
    if directly specified by the customer; therefore, these processes
    are commonly subcontracted to off-site facilities. Embroidery is
    performed using automated equipment, often with many
    machines concurrently embroidering the same pattern on
    multiple garments. Each production line may include between 10
    and 20 embroidery stations. Customers may request embroidery
    to put logos or other embellishments on garments.
    MANUFACTURING STEPS

    STEP-8:-SEWING

    Garments are sewn in an assembly line, with the garment


    becoming complete as it progresses down the sewing line. Sewing
    machine operators receive a bundle of cut fabric and repeatedly
    sew the same portion of the garment, passing that completed
    portion to the next operator. For example, the first operator may
    sew the collar to the body of the garment and the next operator
    may sew a sleeve to the body.
    MANUFACTURING STEPS

    STEP-9:-CHECKING

    It is realistic to assume that however well checking or quality


    control procedures operate within a factory there will always be a
    certain percentage of garments rejected for some reason or other.
    The best way to carry out quality checks is by
    Establishing a standard as a criterion for measuring quality
    achievement.
    Production results can be measured and compared to the
    planned quality standard.
    MANUFACTURING STEPS

    STEP-10:-SPOT CLEANING & LAUNDRY

    In addition to identifying manufacturing defects, employees


    tasked with performing quality assurance are also looking for
    cosmetic flaws, stains, or other spots on the garment that may
    have occurred during the cutting and sewing processes. Spots are
    often marked with a sticker and taken to a spot-cleaning area
    where the garment is cleaned using steam, hot water, or chemical
    stain removers.
    MANUFACTURING STEPS

    STEP-11:-FUSING & PRESSING

    Fusing and pressing are two processes which have the greatest
    influence on the finished look of a garment. Fusing creates the
    foundation and pressing put the final seal of quality on the
    garment.After a garment is fully sewn and assembled, it is
    transferred to the ironing section of the facility for final pressing.
    Each ironing station consists of an iron and an ironing platform. The
    irons are similar looking to residential models but have steam
    supplied by an on-site boiler.
    MANUFACTURING STEPS

    STEP-12:-PACKAGING AND SHIPPING

    In the last steps of making a product retail-ready, garments are


    folded, tagged, sized, and packaged according to customer
    specifications. Also, garments may be placed in protective plastic
    bags, either manually or using an automated system, to ensure
    that the material stays clean and pressed during shipping. Lastly,
    garments are placed in cardboard boxes and shipped to client
    distribution centers to eventually be sold in retail stores.
