I asked if I could post it but forgot to ask if she wanted to remain anonymous. I have a question for you and maybe some others in-the-know who read FI. I am an independent textile designer (most days) and am working with a client for whom I am producing 1100 yds of fabric. It’s basically a wholesale transaction, where I am managing the production with a printer and arranging to send him the rolls upon their completion. He has asked about “minimums for exclusivity” for this fabric design and a few others I have. This is where I am stuck. I have some knowledge of selling designs outright as you would at a surface design trade show, or licensing designs for royalties/flat fees for a term. It gets confusing for me to think of this type of transaction because I would still be managing/financing all production throughout the process. Do you know how I would go about pricing this arrangement? How is it typically done? What’s the time limit? Do you have any resources?Personally, I'd be interested in what she knows about selling designs outright at a surface design trade show. Can anybody help her out with this question?Posted by Kathleen Fasanella at 2:57 PM| Comments (9)| Email to a friend| TrackBack (0)Not Enough ThursdaysHow ironic I'm posting this on a Thursday. It just worked out that way; I only found out about this late yesterday afternoon. Some days, I just feel so lucky to do what I do; I get to meet an incredible wealth of talent I'd never have the opportunity to know otherwise. Which brings me to this new blog I found called Not Enough Thursdays. The site is less a blog than it is an internal conversation between three pattern makers who are close friends (I hope they're prepared for the deluge the web is about to send their way). Again, as an internal conversation between bi-coastal friends and like emails you send to close friends, spell checking wasn't a priority so don't judge it in that vein. The writers are Hannah, Carly and Jessie from Portland OR. I found it because Carly left a comment here yesterday. Hannah recently started working at Nicolas Caito's pattern service in NY; they do patterns for Proenza, Wang and a lot of big names. Carly makes patterns for an industrial engineering firm called Terrazign Inc and has access to scads of cool toys not normally found in our shops and I'm envious. Jessie is a student at the Portland Art Institute and has an exploratory line on the side called Heating and Cooling.  Scroll down past non-work related posts on hiking trips with breathtaking photography to find entries on problems and solutions, guidance they ask and give to each other. And you can say I'm biased because Fashion-Incubator is frequently mentioned and I can't deny I'm thrilled that my camel toe solutions (Hannah says they work!) are being used at a leading NY atelier but there's more to it than that. So few pattern makers blog and I wish more did. Hannah wrote an article about balancing patterns which was good for me because a lot of people have mentioned that or asked me about it and I never knew what they were talking about. So now I know what they're talking about. And of course I was pleased that Hannah was spot-on in specifying that your back bodice pattern is smaller than your front (at right). It is you know and I get tired of arguing about it so yeah, I guess even the implied corroboration is also self-serving. In the end, it is really cool to read about the inner workings of other people's jobs in the industry, people you don't even know and find your work is still so similar with the same worries, problems and concerns. Hannah says she's surprised at how many garmentos smoke around the piles of fabric they sell, which I've always said but nobody mentions it. She's also surprised at how nice everyone is in the business. They eat their lunch on china with silver utensils everyday at work. Maybe I just want the word to get out? I get so tired of hearing how mean everybody is or how cut throat the business is but from what I've experienced, it's students who can be horribly catty or people fighting to get in who are mean or who are mean maybe because they think everyone else is and that's the way they should be too but honestly, I can't think of any mean people I know who've stuck around. It's no different from any other business. I find Carly's fashion entries interesting too. Like I said, with so few pattern makers blogging, you have no idea of the styles we find interesting. She picks the sort of thing I would, each represents a drafting challenge. Here's a very cute dress she made that I think would be very marketable. Again, we see things from a patterning sense. Her construction shown in other projects appears to be immaculate. Do drop in and say I said hello. Posted by Kathleen Fasanella at 1:46 PM| Comments (3)| Email to a friend| TrackBack (0)August 20, 2008How to work with a fashion illustratorToday we have a guest entry from one of my favorite protégés, Danielle Meder. I'll just step out of the way and let her get on with it.----------------It's been over a year since Kathleen encouraged me to help her write a post on how to hire a fashion illustrator. Based on my experience since then, I have written a revision of the original entry to reflect lessons learned because as any freelancer can attest, experience is hard-won education. First you get the test, and then the lesson. As hard as lessons can be, I am grateful for the support of Fashion-Incubator, my friends, the Toronto fashion community and my wonderful clients for making it possible to make a living from what I love to do.In this revision I'll explain why you may need illustrations, when and for which purposes. I'll explain the various kinds of drawings you may need and the difference and advantages of hand vs vector illustrations and the most appropriate use of each. I've included samples of each kind of drawing. I will also explain planning your project, how to get the best price quote and have included a sample agreement you can use. Lastly, I've included some information for those who want to make a career of fashion illustration.Why You May Need an Illustrator:DEs will find they need illustrations for a variety of reasons, especially if they are not confident in their own drawing skills. Here are some benefits of illustration:To help organize and edit their own creative design process.To communicate their ideas clearly to their staff and contractors.To label patterns and production documents so they may be identified at a glance.To illustrate their line sheets for their salespeople and buyers.To add flair to websites, invitations, and other promotional material.To present their ideas to investors, competition judges, etc, in an attractive and persuasive way.There are many fashion illustrators available with a wide spectrum of specialties. Many are trained at art schools, fashion schools, or are self taught. The best type of fashion illustrator to hire will reflect the type of work you need done, and your own aesthetic preferences.

There's a reason manufacturers don't use them and this pattern is a good fairly typical example of why we don't. Manufacturers are cheap. If they could get away with paying 1/10th the price for a pattern, believe me, they'd be all over it. But I digress.Continuing from the first entry and the second, now I'll show you some things you couldn't possibly have seen, specifically, the grading of the pattern into plus sizes. I'm sure that even if you know nothing about grading, you'll be as baffled as I am. Because there was so much to pick from in comparing the grading of pieces from size to size, I've limited the discussion to the center front panel. You know, that piece that joins the yoke from beneath? The reason also being, respondents said the sweep of the blouse in larger sizes was too small. Below is a screen cap of the size "7" (a plus size, representing sizes 16-18) on the left and on the right is size "4" (equivocating to a size 10-12).  Continue reading "Pop Quiz 477: Plus size grading"Posted by Kathleen Fasanella at 4:24 PM| Comments (16)| Email to a friend| TrackBack (0)August 18, 2008Pop Quiz #477: Why the shirt fits badlyContinuing from the first entry as to why the blouse fit poorly, the key problem was an improperly made yoke, most noticeable in the front although the back was no prize either. Alternatively, you could call the raised yoke a design decision but if so, then the pattern must be cut for the fullest part of the bust below that seam -which it was not but I'll show you how to do it . In any event, the lesson here is yokes and the benefit of them is that through piecing, you can remove the appearance of the side bust dart which is why they can be a great option for fuller busted ladies. The matter of making yokes properly matters even more if the pattern was designed for a large busted woman as this one was. Below is the front yoke digitized which will confirm what many said. Here are some of the sort of responses I was looking for to my question of how it was that the yoke was made improperly.
