Hey Designers! This week is all about manufacturing your fashion product. This is video #1 (of 5) with tips for how to work with your sewing contractor and how to get the BEST possible quality from them. Here’s what the video covers:

• No verbal instructions!
• Your sewers will NOT remember what you said
• Oftentimes, the person at the factory is not the one who will sew your pieces
• Write down all instructions
• Use post-its and gold pins to “shortcut” the explanations
• Draw simple pictures of the way you want something done (i.e. topstitching, finishes, buttonholes)
