Hi, I'm Mercedes, a Sydney-based fashion designer and I am very interested in helping you with your project. I can definitely help you with the breastfeeding poncho. I have worked with breastfeeding clothing before, doing dresses, swimwear and sportswear and I would love to help you too!
Also, I am a garment technician and I have a solid knowledge of garment construction. I can help you with the technical side of the design. I know the seams, machinery needed, and the garment processes involved in each piece making. I work as a middle person between my clients and the manufacturers. As most of them produce overseas, I know how to prepare clear and detailed instructions for them to make the samples. I have experience working with China, Indonesia, India, Perú, etc, and I know what exactly manufacturers need to prepare firstly your samples, and then the final production.
I also have a background in pattern making, although I do not do more patterns at the moment, I know about measurements, sizing charts, grading, etc, and I am able to provide accurate details in order for them to recreate your designs.
I work with Adobe Illustrator and I can do flat sketches (front and back, with callouts for details) of your final designs using the real colour and texture of the fabric, drawing all the seams required.
I would like to know more about this talk and have the possibility to chat with you.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Kind regards,
Mercedes.
