Complete Record: Who makes our clothes? How are the made? To find out, we go to a factory and follow the making of a boy’s shirt from the designer’s sketches to its shipment to a store. The style of a new shirt is first created by a designer at a sketch board. From these drawings, patterns are made, and an original sample shirt is hand-sewn buy a sample maker. When the sample is approved fro mass production, the factory takes over. Each operator in the factory has a particular job to do and a specialized machine with which to do it. Many people work together to make the clothes we wear.
