What is Garment Pattern Making?

Pattern making is the process of creating a blueprint of your garment. A pattern is used as a template to cut out fabric that matches the required specifications to sew a garment. It factors in the type of fabric, the intended fit on the wearer, and any trims that will be used. The pattern is used to make 2D fabric sit properly on a 3D bodyv

Creating your own garments requires patterns. Patterns are needed when you mass produce a style. They act as a template in order to create the garments. Patterns are used to ensure each garment in production is as similar to each as possible. Patterns are created after you have designed the collection and technical drawings. As Clothing Manufacturers, we can develop your patterns for you, all in house at our own factory

Pattern cutting is considered to be very important and at our Clothing Manufacturers factory, we consider the pattern cutting stage to be very essential and probably the most important stage of development. At the pattern cutting stage, it’s important to use fit models who you consider to be your target market. It allows the pattern cutter to create the patterns specifically for your brand and you can also see in 3D what the garments will look like. It is important for the pattern cutter to truly understand your designs. Therefore, we always encourage our customers to provide as much information about each style so we can make the garments exactly how you want them. Measurements are key when making patterns – ensure to give your pattern cutter measurements such as lengths of garments that you want and widths etc.

How to create garment patterns?

Stitching techniques:

  • Straight Stitch: This is the most basic and widely used stitch. It’s great for general sewing and is used in most garment construction. It’s ideal for seams and topstitching.
  • Zigzag Stitch: This stitch is versatile and can be used for finishing edges to prevent fraying, as well as for decorative purposes. It’s also useful for sewing stretch fabrics.
  • Overlock Stitch (Serger): This technique is used to finish edges and seams, especially for knits. It helps prevent fabric from unravelling and gives a professional finish.
  • Backstitch: Known for its strength, the backstitch is often used for hand sewing seams where durability is important, such as in jeans or leather.
  • Blind Hem Stitch: This is ideal for hemming garments where you don’t want the stitching to be visible. It’s commonly used for dress pants and skirts.
  • French Seam: This technique encloses raw edges within the seam, providing a clean finish inside the garment. It’s great for lightweight fabrics.
  • Flat-Felled Seam: This is a strong seam often used in denim and other durable fabrics. It involves folding the seam allowances inside and sewing them down, making it very sturdy and neat.
  • Running Stitch: A basic hand stitch that’s often used for temporary basting or for gathering fabric. It’s simple but useful for many applications.
  • Sashiko: A traditional Japanese technique involving simple running stitches to create a patterned background. It’s both decorative and functional.
  • Embroidery Stitches: Techniques like satin stitch, chain stitch, and lazy daisy are used for embellishing fabric with decorative patterns.
  • Dart: Used to shape garments and provide a more fitted appearance by tapering the fabric. This is essential for creating contours in tailored clothing.
  • Basting Stitch: A temporary, long, and loose stitch used to hold fabric pieces together before final sewing. It’s easy to remove and very useful for fitting adjustments.
