HOW TO MAKE A T-SHIRT - IN 8 STEPS
Ever wondered how a t-shirt actually gets made? Swipe through and see all 8 steps at Mehmet’s family-run factory in Turkey.
1. Meeting & product development: it always starts with a coffee or a black tee. Sometimes we also play a round of table tennis before it gets serious. Then we go through the product and talk about every detail.
2. Pattern making: this is the digital part. We take all the measurements and translate them into a special pattern-making software. Every size, every seam and every tiny detail gets defined here before a single piece of fabric is touched.
3. Knitting: the fabric is knitted by an external company that specialises in producing fabrics. In the photo/video you can see the knitting machines running.
4. Sampling: once the fabric is knitted, we sew a sample from the original material. This is where we check if the pattern works, how it fits and feels, and what we still want to change. If needed, we adjust and sample again until it’s right.
5. Cutting: a huge cutting table, where the fabric is rolled out and laid in many layers on top of each other. Then everything is cut precisely according to the pattern, so dozens of identical pieces are ready in one go.
6. Finishing: screen printing is one of the most common techniques, and embroidery is the other. We offer both, depending on what you want for your design. Prints and embroidery are applied to the cut pieces before sewing, so everything sits exactly where it should.
7. Confection: now all the parts come together. Sleeves, body, neckline: everything gets sewn into the finished t-shirt, step by step, by experienced hands.
8. Logistics: packing and shipping from our production, by truck or by plane when it needs to be fast.
