Making your vision a reality
If it's your first time having your design manufactured, and you're not sure where to start, that's okay!
If you only have a vision in your head, with some hand drawn sketches & photo inspiration, start with Teck Pack Creation.
​
If you've been producing your design yourself for a while, start at Sample Creation.
All paths begin with scheduling a discovery call at info@michiganapparelmanu.com
1. Tech Pack Creation
After finalizing your design concept during our meeting, we create technical sketches clear, detailed flat drawings that guide the production process. These visuals are essential for ensuring accuracy and removing ambiguity before moving into the next phase.
2. Fabric & Notion Sourcing
We source high-quality fabrics, trims, and embellishments through our network of trusted suppliers always with your design vision and sustainability goals in mind
3. Pattern Making
This is where we turn your technical sketches into sewing patterns the blueprints used to cut fabric for your garment. A well-made pattern ensures accuracy in fit, proportion, and construction throughout the production process.
4. Sample Creation
With the pattern finalized, we move on to cutting and sewing your first sample. This is the first tangible version of your design a working prototype we use to evaluate fit, construction, and overall look before production.
5. Pattern Grading
Once the sample is finalized and any revisions are complete, we grade the pattern pieces to fit your specified size range.
6. Time Study
Once you're satisfied with the prototype, we conduct a time study by sewing 9 additional units typically across your full size range.
This helps us verify grading accuracy and determine an accurate production cost based on real sewing times.
7. Production Cutting & Sewing
With final samples approved across all sizes and any last changes made, we begin production cutting and sewing.

Congratulations your product is ready for the production floor!
