Garment Factory

Our trip to the garment factory - thanks to Janvi and Pramiti's dad, enabled us to see how fabric is changed and used to form a range of garments.

We started in the warehouse where the large bolts of fabric is delivered and checked for marks and flaws.

Each garment has a clipboard created that show what is required for it to be made. It has a sample of the fabric, cotton, buttons, zips lining and even the stuffing. What ever is used - including the labels are all placed onto the clipboard so there are no errors in the garments construction.

Next we went to the pattern design area where designers plan and cut the patterns that will be used to cut the fabric into the pieces need to make the item ordered.
The pattern is then taken to the cutting room. The pattern is laid out onto a large stack of fabric and place into a set design to maximize the fabric used. It is then cut with a special cutter that is able to cut through multiple layers at on time.

The manufacturing line where each sewer sews part of the garment. Each piece is passed along the line until the garment is completely finished, checked and then packed for shipping.

The finished garments are checked for quality - stray pieces of cotton is cut away, marks are removed and  garment is ready to be wrapped and packed for shipping.

The sample room. Each garment that this company makes is kept here for reference.
An amazing place to visit.
