You are so amazing and so gracious to offer up so much of your time and information. These are all the things I learned in my internships.

One of my favorite “CZcams Professors” ❤️ thanks for all the info Zoe!
ig @Prezawc 👀
Been binged watching your videos. It is like free fashion school online I just hope it is a shorter version. :) Love lots!
Watching this video just helped my mindset a lot! I just did a little pattern making job for a designer (who didn't have enough technical knowledge), she didn't understand and was frustrated when the patterns didn't work out on first try. Turns out it was due to my not having enough specs and not going over my work enough, I've definitely learned my lesson!!!
Very helpful! i love hearing you talk so honestly and Open about these processes that no one ever really seems to address!!
I have been looking for a good tutorial for tech packs for so long! and I am glad you are the one doing it, I always find it helpful how much detail you go into the topics. I just took lots of notes :)
Linda Aristizabal Happy to help!
Hi Zoe! Thank you so much for your time. I am learning a lot every time you put new video.
I've been following your videos for over a month's time so far and you have assisted me in sorting and learning beyond the extraordinary! I was inspired with your collection of books and your design process techniques and so much more! Just wanted to thanks for once and for all. It's great watching your videos ! Stay blessed and take care
Thank you! Glad I could help you!
Hey Zoe! You are such a joy; I enjoy your humor so much. Many thanks for your helpful breakdown of what to expect from a tech pack!
The first thing I do when wake up in the morning is to check if any new videos from Zoe :)) ... thank you Zoe. You are amazing :)) Xx Love from Melbourne
phu giang Greetings to Melbourne! You're welcome!
I love all your videos they are so helpful. I recently graduated and immediately got a job as an assistant designer for an athletic company. Schooling didn't go into detail at all! I learned so much more actually being there.
Thank you so much. Sent this to my instructor friends at Universities y'all!! And am using the techpack templats I purchased, plus I LOVE FASHIONDEX! I bought as many of their books as I could, they are not cheap but they are essential for those who work in the industry!!!
This is gold and I am so stoked to get started! I'm a working graphic designer looking to cross-apply my skills. 😁 Thank you for this!
Omg. This is the first video of yours I've watched and I'm so sold! Thank you so much for how thorough you are. I felt like I was with my best professor in college like hanging onto your every word. I'm gonna get a notebook and start from your first series and treat this like a class. Thanks!!!!
Thank you so much! Welcome to the channel!
I have been out in the wild long enough to end up back here! Time to learn about Tech Packs!
Zoe you're AMAZING! I learn so much from you and your videos are informative and real.
Hi Zoe, I appreciate you so much and your thoroughness in everything that you teach. You are a true teacher and clear. I learned a lot. Amazing. God bless. love ya.
As im starting to prepare my tech packs for production! Couldn't have come at a better time! 👍
This was the best video I've seen on CZcams regarding tech packs! So excited it's only the overview.
MoreKaylaRoberts Thanks! Good luck with your production!
Thank you so much I just started watching and your content is so helpful I didn’t know where to start but you explain it so well!
I've scrolled through hundreds of websites and videos, and I can honestly say this is the best video I have ever come across ❤️ It is so informative and easy to follow. Thank you so very much 🙏🏼❤️
Love your videos 💕
I’m learning a lot
Keep it up 👍🏽
Zoe you are amazingly talented. Thank you for sharing.
The more I watch your videos the more impressed I am with you. As a teacher ,as a CZcamsr, mother, wife.....opps I think I'm a fan.
Thanks!
Thank you for the information. Gracious you are indeed.
Your videos are so helpful, thank you!
8:16 i love how dry that was and how it just cuts right after 😭😭😭😭
Thank you so much love your videos keep doing what you’re doing
This has everything!!! Thank you so much
Thankyou so much !! This is exactly what I needed, everything elaborately.
You are a great teacher. :)
Thank you and you're welcome!
Thank you so much for all your vids, their so helpful:)
Thank you for making this clear
Amazing and eye-opening video.
This is my job now, I wish I learned about this more heavily in school.
Liz A. Do you enjoy it? I do love a really well put together excel spreadsheet on occasion.
Your videos are always so helpful. I'm not even a fashion designer : ))
shadowknightpaladin Happy to help! I have lots of non-fashion peeps around here and you're all welcome!
OMG you are amazing Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience👊👊👊
AIYSHA Roberts You're welcome! And thanks!
I would love to see a grading video from you!
Yeyyyyyyy first first first thankuuuuuu for this video.love u like u a lottttttttt mam
Amarpreet Kaur You're welcome!
I really love your videos. I have no idea how I came across you considering I don't search anything related to fashion, but you have me dialed in and intrigued. I'm on the engineering and business side but I would love to understand how you source and vet suppliers from raw materials/textiles and manufacturing. Like what types of things do you look for? Also would love to understand the start-up side of things meaning if a person was to start a clothing line (super general question, sorry) what average costs would they incur from conception through manufacturing? Trying to put my current knowledge in medical device business in a different perspective. Would love to learn from you.
This is great! Would love to see some templates from you of how you do these sheets
Hi Zoe! Would you consider doing a pattern size grading video in the future? I know it probably won't be until mid-2017, you're just such a great teacher I would love yo see it! Thanks! :-)
Yet another Jem , Ms Hong. Thx
Hey zoe. You always come through with these videos, thanks. I have some questions, I am new to this tech pack thingy. So bear with me, to get all these details what will a potential client or designer give the tech pack designer. Will I be provided with any info from the client to help prepare the tech pack or what?. Also u mentioned something about measuring on the specifications sheet. Where will I get the garment to measure if it's not been made yet. Or I just decide. I'm completely lost. I wish there a course for this. I'd gladly enroll.
Why is it that I came here for information on how to put a tech pack together and had my mind blown by the difference between a button-up and a button-down? 🤯🤯🤯
that intro was beautiful 😂❤️
sarahcloe My voice is golden and pure. (Hahahahahaha~)
you're so amazing thank you very much Zoe
Hi Zoe,you are amazing. Very explicit explanations. I have a question please when this prototype are being made, does one need to have a model for fitting on standby or a mannequin could suffice just fine? How does a perfect sizing works for a garment?
Dress forms are no replacement for a fit model, who can move and sit and give you feedback. Perfect sizing boils down to addressing your specific customer's needs.
Awesome video Zoe! Thanks for sharing. Do you recommend any school to take a specialized course rather than get an entire degree?
How long does it usually take to make a clothing line? Also thank you so much for these helpful videos!! 💕
I haven't seen your fashion books yet but One book that covered what you said in greater detail is The Entrepreneur's Guide To Sewn Product Manufacturing by Kathleen Fasanella. It focuses solely on wholesale cus she is a strong believer in not dealing with direct to customer .
Yes, I know Kathleen, I talk about her book in other videos and interviewed her for this channel too.
Hi Zoe, your videos are amazing! May I ask, at which part of the spec sheet do you provide information such as type of stitching you want to use for the garment construction? Thanks!
If you watch the sequel to this video, I go over some of the pages in depth. I would include that in one of the construction detail pages.
One day when I have my label up and running I will send you free products and hope you love them. You have been a lot of help to me!
Aw, that sounds so cool! Happy to help!
W
i find your videos so helpful zoe ^_^
ritika ganguly Happy to help! :D
Thanks for sharing!! :)
“You better track that shi!” Lol yes ma’am!
hahahahaha
Hi zoe. thank you for the vid. i loved it. i have a question... where do i buy a tech pack? and how do i find someone who knows how to put one together to help me? last question... i'm starting a sports apparel company, are tech packs made for different types of apparel? because my company is for workout clothing. Again, Thank you Zoe.
Hi Zoe. Where can I find a step by step for illustrator?
At the end you mentioned trims, but what are they? Is that the neck label, hang tag, logo printing and packaging?
Trims is the industry word for things like closures (zips, buttons, etc), any kind of add-on that doesn't require a pattern piece, like piping, elastic, fringe, all of that stuff.
Hey Zoë! Thank you for the amazing content! There are tech packs that can be made on Fiverr from $25 - $100 and it makes me wonder how accurate they are; how can I tell?
You have to talk to them and see if they know what they're talking about. That's why I make these videos: even if you hire someone to make your tech packs, you have some background knowledge so you don't get scammed.
your videos are always so detailed and helpful, I am planning to start a wholesale business. got any advice for me? Btw I have never been to fashion school and my sketches are somewhat good. Still learning from your video
s.
I would start by watching my Fashion Sales playlist. Good luck!
Zoe Hong thank you so much for replying. Heading to watch your playlist 😊
Hello! Love your videos! I wanted to ask, did they teach you how to use Adobe Illustrator and how to make tech packs while you were at OTIS?
I learned about Illustrator at Otis but not tech packs. That was a long time ago, so I don't know the details of their curriculum anymore.
@@zoehongteaches Thank you!
Thank you! I am considering becoming a tech designer for a few years before potentially starting my own line. Do you have any advise on how to get a job as a tech designer? I am currently getting an AA in fashion design.
Look up job listings for tech designers and look at their lists of requirements and learn those skills, get the required experience/degree, etc.
if i have one garment cut, but it comes in different patterns, do i have to make a whole new tech pack or just mention it in the colorway sheets? thank you
Just the colorways.
You better track that shit, love it! Hey how about NDAs and things to protect your designs? I am new to all of this so, I haven’t seen all of your videos to know if it’s included in one.
If you're that worried, contact an attorney that specializes in intellectual property but there aren't a lot of laws in place. Courts mostly only pay attention when both companies are well known because the issues are revenue and brand confusion.
BEST! BEST! BEST!!!

Hi zoe, ive been commissioned to make tech packs for a lable. It’s my first time tho, so my question is are they supposed to provide me with the POM and BOM since im not the creative director nor the pattern maker
hi there Zoe
can you please show me how to create the various sheet in excel please
thank you
Zoe, is there a difference between tech pack drawings and flats? Someone said that we may draw wrinkles to flats while we shouldn't draw wrinkles etc to tech pack drawings. Is it true?
Tech pack drawings are flats. You add wrinkles that are part of the design. If your design has gathers, draw the gathers. For example, if you're doing a smooth t-shirt flat, don't add wrinkles or drape lines.
Is it possible to give direction on how to find the best manufactures in the U.S? thank you loves your videos!
M LO Finding the right manufacturer is like finding a husband. You have to find the right one for your business and your needs. Check fashiondex.com for resource guides on contractors.
lol, thank you very much you're awesome.
what was that sound bit after 10:04, tripped me out,
You fucken rock !
I have hand sketches but I'm so overwhelmed with Adobe illustrator and Tech Packs 😩 can manufacturers work with you on tech packs?
Some can and will, but I personally don't like giving up that much control. I'd rather hire a freelance tech designer to do the tech packs for me, so the factories can't influence my design too much.
Zoe Hong thank you so much! That makes sense.
Hello ma'am. If I am making a tech pack for a retail company. ( they asked for it) Do you recommend I do it myself( not a fashion design student or graduate). Do you recommend doing it myself or contract it to someone who can do it well.
If you don't know how to do it, you should find someone who can.
Where does the pattern card/cutters must go on the tech pack?
They don't. It's something to be know about in the tech dev process, but they belong with the pattern.
Say you were a fashion designer and a sewer, you wouldn't send out a Sample approval tracking sheet because you make your own samples right? You would just send out everything else and the sew by example right?
You should have one anyway, to keep track of when things get made and what changes you made along the way.
@@zoehongteaches right of course. For my own record right?
If you complete your own samples do you still need a tech pack?
Yes, so you can send them to whoever is doing your bulk production.
@@zoehongteaches thank you
Zoe I love u dude
Do you make tech packs for people?
Yes.
Zoe Hong ok great! I sent you an email.
can you show me how to spec?
Alona86 Yes, it will be part of the series.
Thank you
Substantive and Akkusative:who
Dative: whom
Really you are very funny
It’s a space pack!!!!!!!
I love you
but if all these things are true, creating a techpack even just for one t-shirt could take hours and hours..... : O
Can I take you out on a date?
