[@soxgoflix5986]

bruh i’m so glad i found you this video has been so informative. and i just bought that book too hahah! got one cut and sew piece comin from china! do you recon i’ll be able to find factories in Australia?

I'm really enjoying your videos. This is actually the first time I've ever commented on a youtube video, so that says something. Thanks for sharing these peeks into your process. I'm a seamstress and I make organic children's clothing and sell on Etsy, but I'm researching how to switch to designing a line and find a manufacturer, it's getting hard to make each piece myself. I have zero college background at all, and have been overwhelmed with how much I have to learn, but your videos are actually helping me feel more confident that I have a bigger grasp on it all than I realized, and helping me fill in the gaps I've been wondering about. One of the things I'm curious about is handling customs once garments start coming your way from overseas. I hope it goes well for you settling on a manufacturer and I'm excited to follow more.

I absolutely love how informational your videos are 🤍 I am looking to start a handmade clothing line and plan on patterning and sewing the garments myself. I have tons of patterns all a size 2 and was looking to get them graded into multiple sizes. I don’t live in New York or los angles and was wondering if you had any recommendations on how to go about finding a manufacture or seamstress that will grade my patterns. Any tips are appreciated!

Do you have a specific program you use for the tech packs? Or great resources/ books? I went to school for design but honestly I forgot how to make a full tech pack lol

[@nataliadedios]

yes! The Spec Manual is about flats and how to measure garments for tech packs and how to do spec sheets! It was a textbook I used for one of my classes at FIT. and the Fashion Business Manual has a section about tech packs in it as well. I just linked both in the description box :) those are my go to's I don't use a fancy program! you can create a tp on excel (a company I worked for did that) or you can make your own TP template (that's what I did/I referenced other tech packs I've seen)

Be careful with international manufacturers. I was working with one in Pakistan and they completely messed up my order. I had to ship it back and bear the cost of shipping which was over $1400 (300 pieces of clothing). Then it got stuck in Pakistan customs because customs wants them to pay $8000 to clear the shipment and they refuse. Be smarter than me!

[@Star-wd5en]

oh wow! sorry you had to experience this and thank you for sharing your story to make others aware of what could actually happen. Thank you!

Hi Natalia, may I know what is the software you used to draw your pattern on the 2D/3D model? xx

[@nataliadedios]

It’s called Clo3D! I used the free 30 day trial (after that it’s $50 a month)

[@kess19881]

Hi Natalia, I’m from Brazil and I have a denim clothing brand where I produce everything, the pattern till the trims process. I’ll get marriage soon and move no NYC and I wish keep working in the same area that’s reason why I’m following you and watching your content. I was thinking about keep producing in Brazil and exporting to USA. Do u have some advice when I be there? Thank you 🙏🏼

[@byevans]

[@sweettazcandyy]

Could you make your own pattern if you know how and save that money??

[@nataliadedios]

you can! but I only recommend this if you are experienced at making patterns or if the pattern is very simple
