PATTERN MAKING
All patterns are made in digital format on CAD programme LECTRA Modaris. On consultation, important aspects of each style are discussed to determine the correct styling, fabrication, trims and end use. This consultation is important to ensure that the correct product will be produced with accuracy.
The Pattern making process will include the CAD draft of the First Pattern, sample preparation and assessment and finalizing of patterns which may include alterations. All pattern pieces are accurately labelled and stored in MDL digital format in the LECTRA programme. Each style produced is accompanied by Style sheet which includes all relevant information and basic Size Specifications.
Bespoke patterns can be ordered separately.
SAMPLES
Samples are always recommended to fit test the pattern for accuracy and balance. It is an optional service that is offered to all clients. Externally made patterns are accepted for sampling purposes only.

Based on practical experience and the information on hand . The patterns can be graded to commercial specifications or customized to suit Client requirements.
Once the process grading is completed, the required size curve is printed onto white marker paper and/or converted to a printable digital HPGL file.
Full size specifications can be ordered once this process is completed.
MARKER MAKING
Digital Marker making is done on the CAD programme Diamino. This process ensures efficiency, accuracy and reduction of fabric waste and consequently a saving in time and cost.
