Your development decision

Use blank worksheets and clear terminology to keep a flannel development project organised from brief to approval.

Choose the next question

Prepare the project

The fabric brief records garment needs and questions for Fred. Use the garment finder to identify the checks that matter, then add known requirements. Generating a draft does not require every technical field to be complete.

Record actual trials

The editable trial worksheet keeps material identity, conditions and before/after observations separate. The online planner can produce the same working checklist. Unreviewed items remain not checked.

Agree the specification

The specification worksheet separates targets, confirmed values, sources and open questions. Use one dated revision for the buyer, supplier and garment teams. Unknown values should not be replaced by zeros or example numbers.

Improve reference photographs

Use overall, face, reverse, close and scaled views to explain appearance. Label source, date and orientation. Photographs support the enquiry while composition and other numerical fields come from the actual specification.

Use clear technical language

The glossary connects fibre, yarn route, weight, width, surface and sample terms to supplier questions. Retain reference codes and source values. Keep translated labels separate from the underlying record keys.

Download and retain your own record

Worksheets are editable CSV and UTF-8 text, versioned 4 October 2026. Print from your browser where useful. The records support communication and do not supply a quotation, laboratory certification or order approval.
