We are able to turn your beautiful illustrations and designs into clear concise technical drawings. This will enable pattern cutters, machinists and factories to share your vision and create the best possible garment. Included in this service is technical design advise, as a pattern cutter I am able to identify some potential construction issues at this stage and advise on the best path to take to avoid delays in the toiling process.

Need help with working out costings? Using marker making either digitally or manually we can figure out how much fabric it will take per garment and also advise on ways to make your fabric usage more efficient. For example adding seams or changing grain lines on particular pieces.
Grading

Marker Making
Grading is an essential part of any brand. As part of the tech pack creation grading can also be inputted into these documents. We are also able to look over existing grading and consult on any issues we can see and offer alternatives to improve the fit and look of garments over a full size set.
We can also grade actual patterns, this can be done manually or on a digital system such as Gerber. Again we offer a check and advise service alongside this if for instance a factory has graded for you and you are unsure of the results.
