Types of Patterns:

Creating this pattern requires skilled, measured, and technically savvy


individuals. There are two types of patterns.

That are:

1. Sample pattern and,


2. Production pattern.

Also the patterns used in the industry are usually made in two ways.

That are:

1. Block pattern and


2. Garment pattern.

Block Pattern:
Block pattern or basic pattern refers to the original pattern, which corresponds
to a certain physical structure. In block pattern the size of different parts of the
fabric is prepared according to the exact size of the body. There are no extra
sizes for fashion or decorative purposes. In a word, the pattern that is made
only with the size of the main parts of the garment is called block pattern.
Block patterns are made based on the average size of men, women and
children or according to the advice of the buyer.
Production Pattern:
The pattern according to which hundreds of pieces of garments are made in
the garment industry is called production pattern. In this case, thousands of
pieces of clothing are cut with a single pattern.

Method of Producing Block Pattern:


The following methods are used to create a block pattern:

1. Flat Method:
The patterns of different parts of the garments especially the patterns of
sleeves, body etc. are made by the technical designer. In the case of technical
designing, the size of the body and the size of each part of the body are
proportionately prepared automatically. This type of pattern is now usually
done by computer. The computer’s hard disk is pre-programmed to store the
body-to-body ratio. And as soon as the body size is given as input, the
computer creates the pattern according to the size of other parts and displays
it as output. This method makes it possible to create patterns very quickly.

2. Modeling:
This is the first and most common method of creating a pattern on clothing.
Its use in the garment industry is still very high. In this method a statue of a
certain size is made and a block is made to match that statue. It’s called a toy.
Then a separate pattern is made for each part of the hard cup according to the
size of this toy. Although the pattern in this method is very perfect, it takes
more time to prepare the pattern.

Method of Making Production Pattern:


After making the acceptable sample garment, it is sent to the determining
office for pricing. The pricing department submits the sample to the higher
authority after determining the total production cost of the garment and the
proposed selling price. The production pattern is made only after the sample
garment and its price are approved by the appropriate authority.

Conclusion:
Nowadays it has become much easier to create patterns using computers. At
present, various softwares have come in the market with the help of which the
desired pattern can be easily created as per the demand of the buyer. The
functions of pattern design are a big part of the garment industry, so its scope
of work is also very wide.
