Work to plan and ensure sample processes go smoothly for your projects.

• Understand tech packs/sample information asking appropriate questions with Project Manager at the start of a project to ensure good understanding and common goals.

Create patterns & samples with production orders in mind, in such a way as to optimize:

- Material usage
- Sewing time
- Easy construction methods
- Quality
- Meeting customer requirements

• Ensure that directions are followed and patterns and samples are made correctly the first timeto minimize rework
• Ensure production difficulties due to patterning/sample mistakes are minimal

Create patterns based on the information provided in each tech pack and any updates from the customer.

• Ensure patterns accurately represent the requirements of the customer.
• Ensure patterns, samples, sample materials, and necessary forms are clearly labelled, organized, filed, and updated for each revision, check your own work
• Grade patterns accurately according to the criteria set by the customer and create POMs
• Ensure that patterns are drafted in a timely manner according to the priority schedule.

Sew samples accurately and in a timely manner

• Gather supplies, set up machines as if for production sewing, and cut any necessary pieces for samples. Store all materials in an orderly manner. Record material in stock system accurately, record machine settings properly.
• Follow instructions in the Tech Pack and as communicated by Project Manager, check your own work.
• Take care to always sew samples with the highest quality standards, check your own work.
• Timing: Clearly and concisely note each sewing step, and time each sewing step in consistent manner
• Ensure that samples are sewn in a timely manner according to the priority schedule.
• Clearly label each sample revision to track changes, and fully understand changes that need to be made, before sewing the next revision.
• Provide feedback to the Project Manager on ways to improve on the quality or construction method of sewing the garment. No changes from instructions given are to be carried out without the approval of the Project Manager.

Ensure your team areas are kept clean and orderly. Help maintain Purnaa Sample Rooms; ensure the

• sample spaces are orderly and clean, items properly labeled, and samples kept in good condition. Process and label all samples/patterns/dies for your projects.

Assist Production teams/QC when required.
