Description of the process:

1. Design the pattern you want to make using Ai. There is two types of pieces in order to make them match with each other: male and female.

2. In settings, choose print as a vector, and change the parameters of speed, power and frequence to the ones adecuated for the fabric selected. It is important to do a previous color maping, choosing different values for the parameters and see which values are better for the fabric to be laser cutter, that in that case it is going to be leather.

4. Get the pieces cutted.

5. Start matching the pieces to see how the pattern works.

6. Begint to configurate the piece of clothing. I am going to make a crop top, and I will use one as a reference.

7. Keep matching the pieces and configurating the piece of clothing.
