Product Development

Welcome to Valley Threads Product Development Services

If you are looking for someone to help you with your next project, or maybe you are a small start up with an amazing idea but you don’t have the skills to start the development journey, then I am here for you.
I have 15 years of experence in the product development arena, as a pattern maker and garment technician working with both NZ and overseas suppliers.
So I know what you need to get started and what the suppliers need to make sure they understand your product and take you seriously.

Pattern Making:
I run PAD pattern software that we make our patterns on, we can also grade your patterns for different sizes.
All PAD files can be easily exported into .dxf files and opened in other pattern programmes so they are easy for your manufacturers to work with.
I can also hand draft for you if required.

Garment Specifications:
I can work along side you and supply you with a suitable garment spec for your product that you can send to your manufacturers.
These specifications can contain, pattern info, garment drawings, finished garment measurements, construction drawings outling all the important parts of your garment, bill of materials (BOM’s), labeling and fabric information.

Sampling:
I also offer a sampling service for any developed product to ensure we get the best fit or finish possible.

Advise:
I can also offer you advise, book in a time for a chat if you are thinking about an idea you have and not sure how to start, I would love to chat to you about it and advise you different ways to get your product off the ground.

Contact me to chat further, I would love to hear from you.
