Ever wanted to have a special piece made? Maybe you need design or patterning help for your line? Maybe you just need construction help or a sample/prototype sewn up.
At Spool, we’ try to keep things simple.
Please free to contact us with any questions or to set up a consultation!
Everything starts with a conversation. At your consultation, you will meet with the designer and discuss what it is that you would like made. As the customer it is your responsibility to have carefully thought through your design and to convey your desires to the designer. Helpful things to bring with you might include pictures, sketches, fabric swatches, color samples, notions, inspirational items, etc... All of these will help with the design process.
At this time, your questions will be answered and price discussed.
If you should choose to continue with the process, body measurements will be taken and a sketch will be made for your approval.
After the conclusion of your consultation, the designer will begin work on technical illustrations of your garment and on any basic block sets necessary to construct your garment.
The first step in any custom garment, is starting with a solid fit block. A basic block simply put, is a basic pattern, drafted to the wearer's measurements, and is the foundation upon which any garment is built. For example, any top may be designed for the customer, using a basic bodice (top) block drafted from their measurements. Using this method ensures proper fit of the design and enables the customer to have future tops designed from this same basic fit block.

Basic Sleeve Block
Basic Skirt Block
Basic Pant Block
After completion of any basic block sets, you will be contacted by the designer and a fitting scheduled for these blocks. Once the fitting is complete any revision to the blocks will be made, and if necessary, a second fitting scheduled.
