Pattern cutting & sampling, Cardiff

You have an idea. We turn it into a garment you can hold.

Patterns can be proven in 3D before anything is cut, then tested in a calico toile (a plain test version made in undyed cotton), then made in your fabric. Problems get found while they are still easy to fix.

How it works

Five stages. Not every project uses all five.

01

Consultation

We agree where your project starts before any work begins.

02

Branding

Logo, labels, packaging and brand standards, for founders starting from nothing.

03

Development

Patterns, tech packs and 3D simulation, so fit and construction are right first.

04

Sampling

A calico toile, then a finished sample made properly in your fabric.

05

Production

We brief your factory and sign off pre-production on your behalf.

Not every project needs every stage. We agree where yours starts before any work begins.

How we protect your budget

Proven before it's cut.

Every pattern goes through three checks before it reaches production fabric. Get the fit wrong in software and it costs nothing to fix. Get it wrong in your fabric and it costs you the fabric, the time and the sample fee.

CLO3D simulation

We build your garment in 3D first. Fit, proportion and drape problems show up on screen, not in your fabric. Useful side effect: you get render stills for marketing before a physical sample exists.

Calico toile

A physical test in cheap, undyed cotton. It proves the pattern works as a real garment before your fabric is cut.

3

Final fabric

The finished sample, made properly in your actual material. This is what goes to your factory and what you photograph.
