Atelier CF

What I do for you :

Pattern Making

From your sketch, a first pattern is drafted, in one size only. your file will include :

  • one digital pattern in dxf/rul
  • a technical file including :
    • the technical sketch
    • the size specification
    • an estimate of the fabric consumption and accessories
    • the technical explanations of assembly

Toiles

Once the first pattern has been drawn, the toile (first prototype) is sewn up. This is an important stage for checking the proportions of your model, as well as its fit.


After the fitting, we make the necessary adjustments to the patterns so that they are ready for your supplier.

Production

Once the collection finished, we can finally head to the production :

  • the digital pattern, with its grading in all your sizes, in dxf/rul (standard format)
  • the technical file for production, complete and finale, including :
    • the technical sketch
    • the size specification, with the grading
    • an estimate of the fabric consumption and accessories
    • the technical explanations of assembly
    • the history of development comments with advice and remarks for the supplier
    • the complete layplan, according to the width of your production fabric

What else ?

Beside the pattern drafting and prototypes making, we also offer the following services :

  • the digitizing of your paper patterns into digital patterns, in dxf/rul (standard format)
  • the plotting of your digital patterns in scale 1:1, with our professional plotter (160cm paper width)

And at what price ?

As I don't work with the fixed price system (which I find rather disadvantageous for the customer), I invoice at an hourly rate.

That said, I realise this may seem rather abstract to some. That is why I have provided two concrete examples of pattern-making and their costs, from the initial development based on your sketch or photo right through to the final, graded patterns, ready for production by your supplier.

I can also provide you with an estimate in advance of the costs for patterns, production and/or prototypes. Please don’t hesitate to ask me for a quote!
