1. Design/ Sketch:
In the garment manufacturing the first step is designing the sketch for the
dresses that have to be prepared. For this purpose the designer first draw
several rough sketches in the sketch book.
The designer does not go for details at this moment but he rather let his
creativity flow on the paper and he draws many sketches.
Later these sketches are analyzed by a panel of designers. They finally select
few out of them. These few sketches are rendered in detail separately or in the
form of a single collection. The designer also draws working drawings along
with the sketch.
3
Working drawings are flat drawing of the sketch and it help pattern maker
in understanding the patterns involved in the construction
 It is given by buyers to manufacturers containing sketches including

measurements of the style.
2. Basic block: The pattern which is made in accordance with the area of
different part of human body and their flexes and folds without any
allowance and style.

3. Working/ garment pattern: To make pattern for a particular style with net
dimension. Garment patterns can be constructed by two means i.e. manual method,
CAD/CAM method.
Today many companies have developed CAD/CAM because of the ease of
designing patterns, fluency and precision involved which cannot be guaranteed with
the manual method.
The production patterns created in CAD/CAM can be stored easily and they can
be modified at any point of time.

4. Sample Making
• The first patterns are sent to the sewing unit for assembling them into garment. This
sample is constructed to analyze the pattern fit and design too.
• After the sample garment is stitched it is reviewed by a panel of designers, pattern

makers and sewing specialists. If any changes have to be made they are made at this
time.
5. Basic manufacturing difference: The critical path is identified i.e. the problems
during the several operations.
6. Approved sample: After rectify the faults sample is again sent to buyers. If it is ok ,
then it is called approved sample.
6
7. Costing: Fabric required, making charge, trimmings, profits.
8. Production pattern: Add allowance with net dimension. The production pattern is
one which will be used for huge production of garments.
9. Grading: It is done according to size. Pattern sizes can be large, medium and small
or else there are standard patterns of size 10, 12, 14, 16 and so on for different figure
and statures sizes. This is generally how we get S M L XL XXL sizing.
10. Marker Making: All the pattern pieces for all the required sizes are arranged and
the paper in such a way so that maximum number of garments could be produced
with minimum fabric wastage. Markers are made for 6, 12, 18, 24 etc. pieces. Marker
is also useful to estimate fabric consumption calculations.
7
11. Spreading: It is the process of arranging fabrics on the spreading table as per
length and width of the marker in stack form.
Normally height of the lay/fabric is limited upto maximum six inches high. But 4
inch to 5 inch height of the lay is safe.
8. Fabric Cutting: On the fabric lay/spread the marker paper is placed carefully
and accurately, and pinned with the fabric to avoid unwanted movement or
displacement of the marker paper. Normally straight knife cutting machine is
used to cut out the garment component as per exact dimension of each patterns in
stack form, care must be taken to avoid cutting defects.
8
13. Sorting or Bundling: sorting out the components according to size and
for each size make individual bundle.
14.Sewing : It is the most important department/ section of a garment

manufacturing industry. Sewing machines of different types are arranged
as a vertical line to assemble the garments. Sequence of types of sewing
machine arrangement depends on sequence of assembling operations.
9
15. Inspection:
Each and every garment after sewing passes through the inspection table/ point,
where the garments are thoroughly and carefully checked to detect/find any defect
if present in the garment.
The defects may be for example variation of measurement, sewing defect, fabric
defects, spots etc.
If the defect is possible to overcome, then the garment is sent to the respective
person for correction. If the defect is not correction able, then the garment is
separated as wastage.
10
16. Pressing/ Finishing:
After passing through the inspection table, each garment is normally

ironed/ pressed to remove unwanted crease and to improve the
smoothness, so that the garments looks nice to the customer.
 Folding of the garment is also done here for poly packing of the garments
as per required dimension.
17. Final Inspection: It is the last stage of inspection f the manufactured

garments on behalf of the garment manufacturing organization, to detect
any defective garments before packing.
11
19. Packing:
After final inspection, the garments are poly-packed, dozen-wise, color

wise, size ratio wise, bundled and packed in the cartoon. The cartoon is
marked with important information in printed form which is seen from
outside the cartoon easily.
20. Cartooning: After packing it should be placed in a hard paper box for
export so as to minimize damage. The cartoons contain all the information
over the box according to buyer specification.
12
21. Dispatch:
The cartoons of the manufactured garments are delivered or placed in the

dispatch department or finished product godown, from where the garments
lot is delivered for shipment
