How a New Design is Made
1) Sketch up an idea of what I want to create
2) Create the first draft of a pattern based off of this idea
3) Sew a sample of garment based off of the pattern I made
4) Bring the sewn sample and pattern to Stacey the Pattern Maker I work with
5) She uses her expertise to edit the pattern so it fits perfectly
6) She digitizes it, and creates a printable pattern after her edits are applied
7) I pick up the new pattern, cut it out, and make a new sample garment
8) I try it on and test it out, making notes if any additional edits are needed
9) Repeat the last three steps if changes are needed
10) Once we have a perfected sample, Stacey will grade the pattern
11) Once graded, she digitizes the pattern and prints off all sizes for me
12) I pick up my finalized patterns and trace them onto heavy pattern paper
13) I cut every pattern out and mark it up with notes and details for sewing
14) Punch a hole in it and hang it up in my studio. It's now ready to be used!
