Pattern Making in Garments

  By ,

The pattern is a hard paper which is made by following each individual component for a style of garments. The appearance and fit of garments are highly dependent on each process. In the development of a garment pattern making is one of the most important steps.

Pattern Making in Garments Depends on

  1. The skill of the person
  2. Technological Knowledge.
  3. Analysis of design
  4. Experience of garments making
pattern making in garments

Pattern Making Step

  • Block pattern or Basic block
  • Working or garment pattern

Block Pattern or Basic Block

Block pattern or basic block is an individual component of garments without any design or style. It is produced according to the exact dimension of standard body measurement where no allowance is considered.

Block patterns are made in two ways

a) Flat method

b) Modeling

Flat method

In Flat method, the pattern of different parts of garments especially body and sleeve are made by technical drawing.

  • In technical drawing, the rule and application of the method of body measurement and its ratio depends on pattern maker.
  • This type of pattern can be made by computer. In this case, the program of a pattern making is stored in a computer disk.
  • This method actually comes from modeling method.
  • This is a fast pattern making method.

Modeling

The modeling method is the primary and first method of pattern making. Till now this method is used widely in the apparel industry.

  • In modeling method, Block is made with the standard body measurement of the dummy is called Toile. Toile is worn on the body of the dummy to check fittings.
  • Then toil is worn out from the body of the dummy and individual parts of toile are drawn on hard paper or board paper.
  • This method is the most efficient method of pattern making but required more time in this method.

Garments Pattern

  • On the basis of block pattern or basic block Garments pattern is made. Individual block pattern is drawn on hard paper or board paper.
  • Sewing allowance, trimming allowance, button whole allowance, dart, and pleat is considered. Individual patterns are made for individual parts of garments.
  • In the pattern, the grain line is showed by an arrow.
  • After drawing of pattern, the working pattern is separated from board paper by a knife.
  • Size and name of individual parts are written on every part.
  • Simple garments are made from the working pattern.

  • Generally, the garment is made for a particular person in the tailor.
  • The garment is made according to the body measurement of a person.
  • In the tailor, no grading is done.
  • In the tailor, the garment can be made from a machine.
  • The initial cost is relatively low.
  • A single ply of fabric is used.
  • In this way fabric wastage is high.
  • Risk of loss is least.
  • No need for a pattern.
  • It takes a few hours to make a garment.

Garments

  • In garments, it takes many persons to make a garment.
  • A garment is made for many people.
  • The garment is made according to standard body measurement.

  • Generally, many machines are needed for making a garment.
  • The initial cost is relatively high.
  • Multiple ply of fabric is used.
  • Fabric wastage is low.
  • Risk of loss is more.
  • The pattern must be required.
  • It takes less than one minute to make a garment.

difference between tailor and garment Comparison picture of tailor & garments

Garments manufacturing is done with a long process in the garments industry which can never be cleared in a single article. But today here I am going to present the major sections of garments.

A Different Section of Garments

There are mainly four sections in the garments manufacturing industry. They are as follows.

  1. Sample section
  2. Cutting section
  3. Sewing section
  4. Finishing section

Sample section

The main function of this section is to make approve the sample. This section is the first and important section. This section includes, “ Designing to marker making”.

Cutting section

This section includes the process starting from “ Marker making” to “sorting & bundling”. The main function of this section is to cut the fabric according to the marker dimension.

Sewing section

The function of this section is to make a complete garment by using all of the cutting components for a particular style of garments.

Finishing section

This section includes the process from “Ironing to send to buyer”. After making a sample, it should be treated by steam, iron and use in it all of the finishing accessories and ultimately make the garments attractive as per buyers approved sample.

Fabric Consumption of a basic Polo-shirt

  By ,

Fabric Consumption of a Basic Polo-shirt

Consumption determination of fabric is a very important term in the textile sector. Since it depends on fabric prices therefore accurate and closure consumption will reduce fabric wastage which will be beneficial for us economically. So, we should keep proper knowledge of fabric consumption properly.

Here today I am going to present fabric consumption of a basic polo-shirt.

Fabric consumption of a polo-shirt is the sum of fabric consumption of different parts of polo-shirt:

  • Fabric consumption for a body part.
  • Fabric consumption for Sleeves.
  • Fabric consumption for half-moon
  •  Fabric consumption for a pocket.

For calculating fabric consumption of a basic polo-shirt following measurement will be needed.

  1. Body Length
  2. ½ Chest
  3. Sleeve length
  4. ½ Armhole
  5. Length of half- moon
  6. Width of half-moon
  7. Length of pocket
  8. Width of pocket
Fabric Consumption of Polo shirt

Polo Shirt

So, now consider

  • Body length
 = 72 cm (For body length allowance = 3+1.5 = 4.5 cm)
  • ½ Chest
 = 58 cm (For chest allowance = 2+2= 4 cm)
  • Sleeve length
 = 23 cm (For sleeve length allowance = 2+1.5= 3.5 cm)
  • ½ Armhole
 = 24 cm (For sleeve opening allowance = 2+1 = 3 cm)
  • Length of half-moon
 = 18 cm (allowance = 1.5+1.5 = 3 cm
  • Width of half-moon
 =10 cm (allowance = 1.5+1.5 = 3 cm)
  • Length of pocket
 = 12 cm (allowance = 2.5+1 = 3.5 cm)
  • Width of pocket
 = 11 cm (allowance = 1+1 = 2 cm)
  • GSM
 = 180 (Lacoste)
  • Wastage %
 = 8%

Fabric consumption per dozen, (all measurement in cm)

Fabric Consumption Per Dozen

Fabric Consumption Per Dozen

So,

For every part of a polo shirt,

= 2.04+0.61+0.06+0.04 kg/dz

= 2.75 kg/dz

So, Fabric consumptiuon for a polo shirt,

= 2.75 + 8% of 2.75 kg/dz (Here 8% is wastage of fabric)

= 2.75 + .22 kg/dz

= 2.97 kg/dz

 

So, Fabric consumption of a polo-shirt = 2.97 kg/dz

Note: Here I have made consumption of polo shirt which has a pocket. Here I did not mention collar and cuff consumption because maximum time in a polo shirt there is used a flat knit collar and cuff.

Consumption of a Trouser

Consumption determination of fabric is a very important term in the textile sector. Since it depends on fabric prices therefore accurate and closure consumption will reduce fabric wastage which will be beneficial for producing trouser with a competitive cost. So, we should keep proper knowledge of fabric consumption properly. Hopefully, after reading this article you will understand how you can calculate the consumption of a trouser. Before taking order from buyer’s, it is merchandiser responsibility to calculate the fabric consumption of trouser then according to the consumption and costing bargain with the buyer.

Here today I am going to present the fabric consumption of a trouser.

Fabric Consumption of a Trouser

Consumption of a trouser

Measurement of Consumption of a Trouser

Consumption per dozen (when all measurement is in inch)

consumption of trouser

So, according to given value fabric consumption per piece, 0.224 or 0.225 kg/piece.

Measurement of a T-shirt

  By ,

How to measure a T-shirt

Proper measurement is a very important term for the textile sector. If we don’t have proper knowledge of the actual measuring way of garment we may face some unexpected situation in the working place i.e. to learn from junior class personnel. And you also may have a question in your mind that how to take a measurement of a t-shirt. So, today I am going to share with you the proper measuring way of a T-shirt which I have learned in my working place.

Measurement of a T-shirt

Measurement instruction of a T-shirt

Measurement of a T-shirt

For measuring a T-Shirt you need to take the measurement of the following 7 parts of our body

    1. Chest
    2. Waist
    3. Bottom
    4. Center back length/ T-shirt length
    5. Sleeve opening
    6. Sleeve length
    7. Shoulder

  1. Chest

Lay your T-shirt on the ground or on a table and place the fabric of the T-shirt nicely so that there are no wrinkles underneath or on top. Now place the measurement tape 1 inch or 2.5 cm below of armhole and side seam adjusting point or armpit.

  1. Waist

For measuring the waist of the T-shirt we have to find out the narrowest part of the T-shirt. Generally, it is in the halfway of the armpit and the bottom of the T-shirt. Measure across from the left of the T-shirt to the straight right.

  1. Bottom

Place the measurement tape on the left of the T-shirt straightly to the right of the T-shirt. Ensure that there are no wrinkles during lay down of T-shirt.

  1. Center Back Length/T-shirt length

Lay the T-shirt on the ground or on a table facing up of the back of the T-shirt. Now, place the measuring tape at the seam where the collar band attaches with the yoke. And carefully measure at the straight direction to the middle of the back the T-shirt to the hem where the longest point.

  1. Sleeve Opening

Place the measurement tape on the left of the sleeve straightly to the right. Ensure that there are no wrinkles during lay down of T-shirt.

  1. Sleeve Length

Lay the T-shirt with the back facing up. Extend a sleeve of T-shirt (you can try right sleeve which will be easy to measure with right hand) smoothly avoiding any wrinkle. Place the measuring tape at the middle point on the armhole seam line straightly to the bottom of the sleeve.

  1. Shoulder

By laid flat with a back facing up, place the measuring tape from left top armhole hole seam point to the right top armhole seam point straightly. Take the reading. This is the shoulder of this T-shirt. Ensure then there are no wrinkles during lay down of T-shirt.

Till now Bangladesh is not in a good position of producing denim fabric. Maximum time we are importing denim fabric from China, India, and Pakistan.

Recently in a survey, we have come to know that in EU country we are in the second position in exporting of Jeans and in the United States of America we are in the third position.

In denim product which is included to be exported are shirt, Pants, Jacket, Blazer etc.

Denim Market Overview in Bangladesh

A Beautiful Denim Jacket

In Bangladesh, there are about twenty-five institutes which are producing denim fabric. But this is not enough as the requirement of denim fabric. We are in the back position of producing denim fabric rather than other countries. Beside ready-made garment of denim, if we want to increase our profit from denim section than we should try to increase denim fabric production. Because among all backward linkage (backward linkage means these which are related to making ready-made garments) fabric plays the vital role.

As denim product is a very potent part of garment sector so we should be more careful about its production. But for increasing denim related investment in the textile sector, there also should have proper gas and power supply system. And in that purpose Government should come forward.
