Module 1: Sourcing
Effectively research and source the fabric and materials you need to create your apparel product, accessory line or collection.
- Connections to a database of hundreds of suppliers who sell sustainable fabrics and low minimums.
- Strategies to get a response from these suppliers, including exact scripts outlining what to say (and what not to say), so that you can build relationships and start confidently sourcing the materials you need.
- An in-depth understanding of sewn manufacturing, how it works, what you need to know to avoid mistakes and how to efficiently source materials for production.
- An overview of sustainability so you’ll have a clear understanding of what makes a fabric “eco-friendly” and whether it’s the right fit for your product.
- A materials inventory template so you’ll know the exact fabric and materials you’ll need to go into production.
- Training on how to create your sketches and a professional spec sheet – even if you can’t draw!
