STITCHING (APARADO)

    The stitching step is the phase in which all the components of the shoe, get joined by seams or stitching, for being later attached to the lining, the person performing this step needs having a lot of skill as well as knowledge about pattern-making and also about shoe manufacturing as it is the link between the designer / patternmaker and manufacturing phase. (it is essential that each piece is sewn to the other in the same place and with the same inclination for which they were designed).

This work is usually done by women, and are called stitchers (we say APARADORAS, because this step is called APARADO in spanish).

THELMA patterns that use the worker that cuts the pieces (they are scaled in the different sizes)

DRAWING OVER LAST

Hello everyone!

  today I´ll post some pictures I made of the styles during the drawing and pattern fitting process, specifically, the phase in which the model is drawn on a adhesive paper girded to the last. this process offers the designer a previous idea of the style when finished, giving in this step the correct dimensions and measures over the anatomy of the foot, using the last.

COLOURS CHOICE

The choice of materials is often a complex process, which must devote as much attention to design and pattern fitting itself.

Here are some pics of the materials I'm using for these first seven models of my spring summer collection.

Although usually to devise a model, you already have an idea of ​​what will be the material and the color that is to be performed, not rarely, after seeing it on the last, the decision is taken to change other leather or colour, because it is here where you can already make a clear idea about the final result. 

Here are some pics of the materials I'm using for these first seven models of my spring summer collection.
