How are leggings made? The whole Production Flow of Cut&Sew Fitness Clothing (PART one )

 Inspection of fabric and auxiliary materials → Technical preparation → Cutting → Sewing → Buttoning → Ironing → Garment inspection → Packaging → Storage or shipment.

After the fabric enters the factory, it needs to be counted in quantity and inspected for appearance and internal quality. Only those that meet production requirements can be put into use. What’s more, before mass production, technical preparations must first be carried out, including the development of fitness wear process sheets, templates, and sample clothing production. Seriously, the sample clothing cannot enter the next production process without being confirmed by the customer.

The fabric will be cut and sewn into fit wear semi-finished products. Some special post-processing may be required, such as washing clothes with water, sanding clothes, and processing wrinkle effects. Finally, the auxiliary process and ironing process are carried out through buttonholes and buttons, and packaging and warehousing are carried out after passing the inspection.


(1) Fabric inspection  

 

Ensuring the quality of fabrics is an important part of controlling the quality of finished products. The inspection and measurement of incoming fabrics can effectively improve the qualification rate of bulk orders.



Fabric inspection includes two aspects: appearance quality and internal quality. The main inspection of the appearance is whether there are damages, stains, weaving defects, color differences, and other issues on the fabric. If a fabric is sand washed, attention should also be paid to whether there are sanding defects such as sanding, dead pleats, and peeling on the fabric. Defect fabric will be avoided during cutting to ensure apparel quality.

 

The internal quality of fabrics mainly includes three aspects: shrinkage rate, color fastness, and weight in grams (meters, ounces).  At the same time, the incoming auxiliary materials should also be inspected, such as the shrinkage rate of the elastic belt, the adhesion fastness of the adhesive lining, and the smoothness of the zipper. Auxiliary materials that cannot meet the requirements will not be put into production.


(2) Technical preparation  

Technical preparation is an important means to ensure smooth mass production and that the final product meets customer requirements. Technical preparation includes three aspects: gym sportswear TechPack, sample development, and sample clothing production. The TechPack is a guiding document in clothing processing, which puts forward detailed requirements for clothing specifications, sewing, ironing, packaging, etc.


Details such as clothing accessories matching and stitch density should also be clarified. Each process in clothing processing should strictly follow the requirements of the TechPack.

After completing the TechPack and template development work, small batch sample clothing production can be carried out. During the small batch production process, the ethical athletic wear factory will promptly correct any discrepancies based on customer and process requirements, and tackle process difficulties to ensure the smooth progress of the large batch production process. The sample clothing becomes one of the important inspection criteria after being confirmed and signed by the customer.
