Fashion Design Sketches - Dos and Don'ts

Fashion design sketches can be a lot of fun, and to many people they look easy. After all, you put together the design, and the pattern maker deals with the details, right? Actually, that's anything but true. Fashion designers have to pay attention to a lot of information that we don't necessarily think of when we try on a new pair of jeans. From the cost and complexity of producing the garment to how it'll fit not just one model, but everyone, there are a lot of concerns designers need to be aware of. Here's a look at some important things to include and mistakes to avoid when you're putting together fashion design sketches.

The first thing to think about is who you're designing for. That means looking at the general demographic that you'll be selling to, and what company you're providing work do. There are plenty of small designers who sketch, pattern, and sew their own work, but many more designers who work for big clothing companies like Levi's and the Gap. There are huge differences in the way you'll want to produce fashion design sketches for each type of company. A small designers knows what he or she is willing to sew personally, and how much time it will take. A designer for a big house has to be able to put together sketches that will work in assembly line settings, and which won't cost too much to produce. That's why we don't see unusual seaming or creative bias cuts in most ready to wear garments - they're too expensive to produce.

Fit will be a big deal, too. After all, you'll design your garments far differently if you're making them for a slim, athletic teenage market than if you're creating fashion design sketches geared toward older people, college kids on the go, or working parents. The average build, height, and tastes of your target market will affect how much ease is in the garment (how tightly it fits), how you grade the patterns, and the curve of areas like armholes and pants rises. Those, in turn, affect how you'll draw the initial sketch. Keep in mind problems that might occur when your garment is called on to fit someone outside your ideal wearer. Sure, most of the purchasers for the garment might be expected to be small and athletic, or have a certain waist-hip ratio, but not all of them will. How will your garments fit them? Certain design features that work well on one figure, like front pleats or empire waists, may be disastrous on another.

Don't forget to draw all the important seam and construction lines on your fashion design sketch, too. There are far too many designs out there where the seams have been left off entirely! That means that the pattern maker is forced to try to figure out what you meant, and the design is much less likely to be realized the what you want it to be. Be clear and know how the garment will go together, if you want to create fashion design sketches other people can understand.

Is there any sewing pattern for making a pair of leggings/stretch pants ?

If someone wants to make their own pair of leggins / leggins / stretch pants , is there actually a pattern for this? Does anyone know where to find one? such as these : http://store.americanapparel.net/leggings1.html

The two best companies for that sort of pattern, imho, are Jalie and Kwiksew.
