Working Procedure of Pattern Making

Textile Details

Updated:

The pattern making process utilizes Gerber software and follows a systematic working procedure. The pattern section working principles are as follows:

Design Concept: The pattern making process begins with the design concept for a new garment. The design is developed as per the Grading Sheet provided by the buyer. 

Measurement Specification: Accurate body measurements are collected and analyzed to create well-fitting garments. Measurement data is also provided by the buyer through a measurement spec sheet.

Gerber Software Utilization: Pattern making involves using Gerber software,  a widely used computer-aided design (CAD) system for pattern making. The software assists in digitizing and creating pattern pieces electronically, ensuring precision and consistency. The pattern maker makes the pattern as per the buyer’s specifications. 

Pattern Drafting: Pattern makers utilize Gerber software to draft individual pattern pieces based on the design concept and measurement specifications. They follow appropriate drafting techniques to create accurate outlines and shaping for each component of the garment. 

Grading: Pattern pieces are scaled using the Gerber software to create different sizes for the garment. Grading ensures consistent proportions while adjusting the dimensions based on size requirements. 

Digitized Marker Making: Using the Gerber software, pattern makers generate a digitized marker, which represents the arrangement of pattern pieces on the fabric for cutting. The software optimizes the marker layout to minimize fabric wastage and improve efficiency during the cutting process. Pattern makers ensure efficient placement of pattern pieces, taking into account factors like fabric width, fabric grain, and any pattern matching requirements. 

Documentation and Printing: Pattern files are documented and saved within the Gerber software system. Physical copies of the patterns may also be printed for reference during the cutting and sewing stages. These patterns act as a master guide for the production team, ensuring consistency and accuracy during garment assembly.
