Pattern Cutting

Our APC pattern cutting services are comprehensive, and we provide guidance on sizing, the correct fabrics for your design, and tech packs.

  • Support with sizing and tech pack direction
  • Pattern development from sketches or references
  • Advice that helps emerging brands avoid costly mistakes

Toiling

Once you have a correct tech drawing the pattern cutter will be in a good position to make the pattern. From this they can make a toile.

  • Important for checking fit before final fabric
  • Useful for pocket, zip, and placement decisions
  • Cost-effective for developing the garment in 3D first

Grading

We offer grading services for all types of clothing, with highly experienced professionals who specialise in everything from childrenswear to plus-size.

  • Hand-done by professionals for accurate fit
  • Useful for strong size-range consistency
  • Built to help your brand grow on solid foundations

Clothing Manufacturing

We also offer clothing manufacturing services with our in-house team or other factories we liaise with in London and abroad, depending on budget and preferences.

  • UK and overseas production options
  • Support that fits your price point and product type
  • Factories selected to match the ethos of the brand

Sizing and Tech Packs

Start with the right information

Giving the pattern cutter accurate measurements, reference garments, and clear technical drawings makes the process smoother from the beginning.

Toile Development

Fit before final fabric

A toile is the cost-effective way to test size, fit, and detail placement before moving into expensive fabrics or final samples.

Hand Grading

Accuracy across the range

All grading is done carefully so the approved style keeps the right balance and fit through multiple sizes.

Production Support

UK and overseas options

Once patterns and toiles are approved, manufacturing can continue with the in-house team or trusted factories abroad.

Why start with a toile?

The toile is the perfect stage to develop design details, solve fit issues, and avoid wasting final fabric or sample cost.

Do you help with factories?

Yes. If you need a clothing manufacturer, support is available through contacts in the UK and abroad.

Who is this for?

These services are ideal for startups, small brands, and anyone who needs stronger garment development before production.
