Multitude of textile surfaces defining parameters, fast changes of fashion trends, as well as small production series, determine clothing items production ways . The need to promptly react to changes in fashion trends and to be competitive compel clothes producers to use computers in all designing and production segments.The paper presents the process of planning and optimization of the process of tailoring – Easy Plan for 131 items of female children’s jeans, formation of cut images for them in five sizes in two jeans colours ( navy blue and white ). For the basic cut construction the measures from the SRPS EN 13402- 3 standard were used, sizes 12-146. For computer jeans design the data were used from the work order, while the Easy Plan markers drawing was done by using the licensed CAD system AccuMark V-10.4 by Gerber Technology company. Working in this programme was based on the sketch of children’s jeans in the following order: formation of the work station, formation of neccessary files, construction of the basic cut of children’s jeans, separation of cut parts, grading, modelling, completing, cut parts systematization, formation of Model files, Easy Plan and marker making.
