Apparel Manufacturing-I generally refers to the first stage of the garment manufacturing process, which involves the preparation of fabric and other materials for the production of clothing. This stage includes activities such as sourcing and ordering of raw materials, fabric inspection and spreading, pattern making and grading, marker making, and cutting.

During the sourcing and ordering phase, manufacturers typically identify and order the necessary fabrics, trims, and other materials required for the production process. The fabric is then inspected to ensure that it meets the quality standards and specifications required for the garment.
After the fabric is inspected and approved, it is laid out and spread to ensure that it is flat and free from any defects or imperfections. The patterns for the garments are then created and graded to ensure that the sizing is consistent across all garments produced.
Marker making is then done to maximize fabric utilization and minimize waste, and finally, the fabric is cut into the required shapes and sizes using cutting machines or tools. This stage is critical to the overall success of the manufacturing process, as it sets the foundation for the remaining stages of garment production, including sewing, finishing, and quality control.
