Design, Development and Manufacture for Everything Sewn
Give Your Brand a Strong Foundation with Our Proven Product Development Process
We work closely with our clients to develop initial patterns and samples, then grade your pattern and produce sample batches for market testing and user studies. We finish with a detailed tech pack to transition your growing business to larger scale manufacture.
It All Starts with an Illustration
PRODUCT CONCEPTING
Creating a new product, just like any worthwhile journey, requires preparation. Before you start on the road to development, you must be able to show your concept. If you don’t have an illustration or rough sample of your idea to share with us, and you don’t know how to draw, then our Design Concepting Course is for you!
Create and Improve Your Design Idea
PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
If you have a design illustration or rough prototype then it’s time to start development! We can create your patterns from scratch, or work with current ones. Either way, our step-by-step process is easy to understand and keeps you in control and on budget as you move from concept and development, to sample batch, tech packs and manufacture.
Scale Your Sewn Product Business
PRODUCT MANUFACTURE
As the owner of a growing business, you are bound to encounter challenges as you scale. Whether you are sewing from home or manufacturing abroad, we can help improve operations, solve problems, and provide added services leaving you room to concentrate on those new design ideas you’ve been putting off.
Product Development Process
Our step-by-step approach is easy to understand and customizable to meet your needs.
Concepts are hard to describe with words. We help turn ideas into illustrations that are realistic and feasible for real world production.
We turn illustrations into patterns and 3D virtual garments. Review and approve our work and your design before committing to the cost of sewing samples.
Bring your own pattern or start with ours, we create expertly sewn samples that prove your concept for sewing and style.
With samples approved, we then grade your patterns and sew sample batch quantities for things like photo shoots and market validation.
Whether you’re scaling your business or starting new, we can write a comprehensive tech pack and help transition you to manufacture.
