WIPO Patent Application WO2001094674
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The present invention provides a continuous process for the manufacture of a garment. A web of fabric including opposing web side edges is provided. The intermittently cutting the web of fabric is intermittently cut, thereby forming edges defining neck openings in the web fabric. The web of fabric is cut thereby defining discrete garment-sized pieces. Each of the discrete garment-sized piece of the web of fabric includes at least one neck opening, a front panel having a pair of opposing garment side edges, a back panel having a pair of opposing garment side edges, two opposing garment end portions, and a pair of opposing piece side edges. The opposing piece side edges of the discrete garment-sized piece are proximate a pair of opposing garment bottom edges of the garment. The discrete garment-sized piece of the web of fabric is folded, whereby one of the garment bottom edges of the pair of opposing garment bottom edges is brought into contact with the other garment bottom edge. At least a portion of the pair of opposing garment side edges of the front panel is fastened to at least a portion of the pair of opposing garment side edges of the back panel to form a pair of garment side seams.
