The Journey Ahead

Don’t say we don’t like to challenge ourselves (see wants on previous blog). So from a standing start and the signing off of the brand at the beginning of October, we have to have a “collection” in place for 27^th November as we have been accepted as a stall owner for the Queenscliff Music Festival that runs from 27^th November until the 29^th November 2009.

So lets go through the steps for each design:

1)            Design article

2)            Source fabric and accessories

3)            Dye fabric and enhance accessories

4)            Make Pattern

5)            Make Sample

6)            Fitting session for sample

7)            Adjust Pattern

8)            If no serious changes grade pattern for different sizes

9)            Manufacture

10)         Add logo (embroider)

11)         Attach label

12)         Box up

13)         Sell

It’s 23rd October today and we currently have 4 designs at pattern stage, 2 of the 5 colours dyed, 1 pattern (men’s T) at sample stage.

We have a bit of a way to go for this timetable.

However, by Queenscliff we will have the following:

Men’s T-Shirts: 4-5 colours, 5 Sizes

Women’s T-Shirts 4 colours, 6 Sizes

Mens Sweats 2 colours, 5 sizes

Womens Sweats 3 colours, 6 sizes

Hats

A super top secret ingredient material beach bag

Frisbees

Car Stickers (UV proofed no less)

This will be our Summer 2009 Collection.
