How To Make A T-Shirt From Design To Manufacturing Process
In this video I show you how to make a t-shirt from the design to manufacturing process. It starts with designing a shirt, pattern making, sewing, cutting and then goes into large production manufacturing. More from Bella Canvas: bit.ly/2OCKRHE
When starting a clothing line it's important to know the process, and this video is a great way to learn what it takes to create a t-shirt from scratch.

0:00 Intro Into Making a T-shirt from Design to Manufacturing
Step 1: 0:51 T-Shirt Design
The first step to making a t-shirt involves the design sketch. Create a sketch that depicts the angles and details you'd like the final shirt to have. It doesn't have to be super fancy, as long as you can show what you need. Designing a shirt with the end goal in mind helps the pattern maker know what you are going for. Thanks you Torey Lewitz for joining us.
Step 2: 1:35 Pattern Making
Once the designs are completed, you will consult with a pattern maker to bring your clothing line to life. The pattern maker will take your designs and create “patterns” which are the pieces that will be cut and sewn together.
Step 3: 2:55 Sample Cutting
Once the patterns are completed, they are printing on a plotter that creates the outline for the sample cutter. The person in charge of cutting the sample will follow the guides to ensure the pieces are cut to the right specifications. Castle Notches allow the person in charge of sewing to close the product up right.
Step 4: 4:45 Sewing The T-Shirt
After the fabric is cut out, it is ready to be sewn. The cut pieces are now the shape of the patterns and multiple sewing machines are used to finish the design. The final outcome is hopefully what you envisioned. But more than likely it won’t be the final fit, so you will repeat the process until you are happy with the size, fit and shape of your apparel line.
Step 5: 6:36 Mass Production Cutting
As soon as the shirt or apparel design you created is approved, the patterns are finalized and sent into the production process. John Chacon Head Of Production walks us through his process.
Step 6: 8:30 Mass Production Sewing
Once the pieces are all cut out, they are sent to the sewing factory. The factory is given the cut fabric and the head of production is in charge of making sure everyone knows what their role is.
Step 7: 8:55 Order Fulfillment/ Clothing Line Distribution
The last step in this video is the order fulfillment and distribution of the finished clothing. As a clothing business you also have to think about how you will provide quicker shipping, handle returns and manage employees. Randy Pinter Head of Warehouse Distribution drops the knowledge on what it takes to run this facility.

Hey john thank you for putting out these content I’m really inspired by it , I have a few questions about starting a clothing brand .i am from Nigeria buying form bela canvas and aplliq is really expensive for me as a beginner plus shipping is almost impossible my question is which is the best to start with and which has more quality ,screen printing or heat press which is more better to start from
1 design sketch 2 pattern making 3 sample cutting 4 sample sewing 5 production cutting 6 production sewing 7 order fulfillment If you are wondering why I'm posting this, it's because I have an online textiles class where we have to write out the titles of each step to prove we watched it. I'm hoping someone in my class will see and use this!

Such an eye opening experience... As somebody who has been trying to create a streetwear clothing brand for the last few years, I didn't know what kind of questions to ask to get quality hand sewn products... This put everything into perspective. My only obstacle to create a quality brand is my finances to invest in a higher volume of work. Anyways, thank you so much. This was a missing link to my recipe
Watched this video after 3 years .Great Quality information John.Thanks a Ton ❤️
Thanks for your video and your great work. Is very helpful. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
It's mind-blowing to imagine that all those t-shirts out there are actually hand-sewn! I always assumed it was all automated and handled by robotic equipment.

Watching this video makes me wow im amazed. I myself working as fabric cutter too. But unlike what we watched in this video,my work i need to draw out all pattern sketches by hand onto the fabric. And then cut it too with electric cutter. Sometimes need to adjust how to draw it and try not to waste more fabric. Its difficult and wasting time,add up the stress when boss is rushing us to finish fast.
