Custom Sewing
Garments constructed from initial consultation through final fitting. Pattern development, fabric selection, and construction methods discussed in detail.
Multiple fittings scheduled during construction. Adjustments made at each stage to ensure proper fit and construction quality.
Pattern Development
Patterns developed based on measurements and design requirements. Drafting considers fabric drape, grain direction, and construction methods. Toile or muslin used for initial fitting when appropriate.
Adjustments made to pattern before cutting final fabric. Seam allowances included. Marking transferred accurately. Pattern pieces labeled for reference.
Fabric Selection
Fabric chosen based on design requirements, intended use, and durability considerations. Weight, drape, and texture evaluated. Natural fibers preferred for breathability and longevity.
Fabric prepared before cutting. Grain lines checked. Pattern layout planned to minimize waste while respecting grain direction and pattern matching requirements.
Construction Process
Construction follows agreed methods. Seams finished according to fabric type. Interfacing applied where structure required. Darts and pleats pressed and secured.
Buttonholes worked to match fabric weight and button size. Zippers inserted with appropriate finish. Linings attached with consideration for movement and wear.
Fittings
Initial fitting with toile or muslin if used. Adjustments marked and transferred to pattern. Second fitting with partially constructed garment. Final fitting with completed garment.
Each fitting allows for adjustments to fit and construction. Client feedback incorporated. Final approval obtained before completion.
