| Know before using | The directory is opt-in and excludes qualified people who do not list; designation does not guarantee availability, price, or suitability for a specific object or treatment. | This is a competency and assessment reference, not an instructional course, pattern file, qualification by reading, provider recommendation, professional license, or proof that a person can perform the work. The route does not establish enrollment availability, teaching quality, fees, support, recognition outside Australia, or product-specific fit. Confirm the current unit status, packaging rules, prerequisites, registered provider, assessment conditions, local requirements, and actual evidence before relying on it. | A profile, proposal, match, or escrow status does not establish factory ownership, identity, capacity, workmanship, quality systems, labour or chemical compliance, delivery performance, contract enforceability, or project fit. Verify the legal and production entities, references, site and subcontracting, samples, compliance evidence, specifications, terms, and remedies directly. |

| What the source establishes | AIC says listed Professional Members complete a peer-reviewed application and may be searched by specialty, material, service, location, or name. | Australia's National Training Register publishes current unit MSTAT3002, Develop patterns using basic patternmaking principles. The release document describes interpreting textile-product design specifications, considering fabric performance, selecting tools and equipment, developing patterns, testing the result, and making alterations. Release 1 was generated December 22, 2022 and merged two earlier units. Current Australian apparel and live-production qualifications list MSTAT3002, while the current diploma also exposes advanced individual-fit, alteration, and fit-model units. | Sewport's current brand workflow starts with an account and guided project enquiry, then exposes proposals from garment factories and production specialists. The platform tells brands to compare profiles, portfolios, location, price, and communication, then record service, delivery, payment, and contract terms in a formal proposal. Its service-provider workflow includes factories, sample studios, pattern cutters, tech-pack makers, sourcing specialists, and material suppliers, with optional split-payment escrow. |
