Module 5: Production and costs

The numbers that decide whether a production run makes a profit or leaves you with dead stock. This module isn't about sewing: it's about the three calculations you need to be able to do before you buy the fabric.

  1. How to calculate fabric consumption — Buy the right amount of fabric: not too little, and not money tied up in extra meters.
  2. The real cost of a garment — Be able to say, with a number, how much it costs to produce each garment.
  3. Planning a production run: how many of each size — Come out of a production run with as few unsold garments as possible.

How to buy from Moldey

Choose the pattern and the format, pay with Mercado Pago, PayPal, bank transfer or cryptocurrency, and download the file. The price depends on the format and, for each format, it is the same across the whole catalog and in every country: $10 for PDF A4, $15 for plotter PDF, $20 for the sublimation file and $50 for the editable Audaces and Optitex files. A new pattern developed to order costs $100. PLT, DXF/AAMA and CDR files, for plotters and CAD, can also be requested through WhatsApp or Telegram.

Every size comes in the same file. Delivery is digital: no shipping, no freight, no customs. Patterns are sold with a commercial production license, so you can make and sell the garments with no unit limit.
