Initial Sampling Sheet

 Again another simple document and probably more important for a larger design company that has their own in-house team of pattern cutters and machinsts.

 This is a costing sheet effectively but it provides you with the space to make notes too.  It itemises the Pattern No, Style/Line number, who the cutter was, the machinist, what trims and the total time taken to make the sample. There is also a space for comments for potential production comments and issues. You need to have information and it’s so easy to forget any problems and issues that may arise over time.  If you keep accurate records from the beginning it will save you so much time in the future.  I would also add in a sketch or a photo of the garment too because who can remember a style line when you are making potentially 100s of samples a year.  

Remember these documents can be personalised. You can add in your own logo and address so they are fully your own forms.
