If you've ever tried your luck with a sewing machine yourself, you probably already know that working with stretchy fabrics can be a nightmare. The seams are difficult, and working out a good pattern can be pretty tough.
Since you need an accurate pattern to replicate a design, it's important that the patterns are done professionally, and that the factory is provided with a guide, or "marker" to cut the patterns pieces. It's also important that the markers are laid out efficiently to minimize fabric waste. The marker is printed on a large plotting machine and laid out over the top of the fabrics to be cut.
Before and after shot - The marker laid out & the cut pieces ready to be sewn. |
It's pretty cool to see a skilled worker in action. Equipped with a large, motorized "straight knife", an experienced cutter can slice through hundreds of layers of fabric at the same time. Here's a quick clip of our man in action, cutting out pieces for the samples of the new Polkadot Swami's! (coming to stores next week!!)
It's amazing to watch a design come to life, and it's a great feeling to know where our clothing comes from. It's a long, hard process, and there's plenty more to share, so tune in next week for another fun-filled Seea factory fact!

We are excited to work with a small network of like-minded, independently owned shops - Places where you can still find the owner behind the counter. Today we are proud to announce five new additions to this list, and we hope you stop in if you're near these stores this Summer!
If you have a favorite place to shop where they appreciate small, independent brands and the importance of domestically produced goods, please let us know at [email protected]. Your comments, suggestions, and feedback are always welcome!
Thanks again to all of our new dealers! We're looking forward to a great summer!!
