Lay Planning


Lay Planning

There is a famous say in my country that a Tailor will measure a fabric 100 times before cutting it,
because he knows that cutting is done only once and there is no going back after that.
When cutting the final fabric for the garment, lay planing is very important. It needs a lot of patience because its very time consuming.

A lay plan is made by positioning all
the individual pattern pieces of a textile product on the fabric so that they fit close together to minimise waste. Matching checks, stripes or other designs may need to be considered. Also a specified mix of garment sizes in the same style may need to be cut.
