Industrial sewing instructions pt.2
Apologies if this is too elementary but circumstances suggest this entry could be useful. Previously I’d showed you what typical sewing instructions look like but I wonder if a flow chart might be more descriptive of the process in a commercial environment.
The problem with written sewing instructions is that they are linear, sewing directions necessarily start with one, two, three etc which could lead people to think one must do it in precisely that order. Sometimes you do but not always. Or maybe even hardly ever. In the typical sewing set up, depending on headcount, there can be a variety of operations related to a shirt (for example) going on, all at the same time.
Consider the illustration below. With a flow chart, I can show you that step one (yellow) is a variety of activities. All of these operations can be performed at the same time, none having any bearing on anything else.
