Introduction
Apparel manufacturing : It is the process of creating clothing and other fashion items through various production techniques. This industry plays a significant role in the global economy. Cont.. The process typically involves designing, pattern making, cutting, sewing, with a focus on delivering high-quality, fashionable products to consumers. It requires a deep understanding of textiles, fashion trends, and production techniques to create items that are both stylish and functional. Cont.. Apparel production also known as garment production is a process where fabric is being converted into garments. Industries in the Apparel Manufacturing subsector group establishments with two distinct manufacturing processes: A. cut and sew(i.e., purchasing fabric and cutting and sewing to make a garment), B. the manufacture of garments in establishments that first knit fabric and then cut and sew the fabric. The main task for the apparel manufacturer is:
To produce shell structures out of flat fabrics
to match the shape of human body. The conversion of fabric into apparel involves various processes, such as spreading, pattern making, cutting, sewing, fusing, pressing and packaging. Fabric is the basic raw material of apparel industry. Sewing room
A sewing room is a designated space in a home or workshop where sewing, quilting, and other fabric- related crafts are carried out. It typically contains a sewing machine, cutting and measuring tools, storage for fabric and supplies, and a work table for laying out and assembling projects Cont.. Sewing rooms may also include ironing and pressing stations, storage for patterns and notions, and comfortable seating for extended crafting sessions.
Benefits of a Sewing Room
A Sewing Room offers a space to house a growing collection of fabric and supplies. Cont.. A Sewing Room doesn't necessarily need to be cleaned up before serving dinner or hosting company. A Sewing Room is a quiet place for you to sew without distraction Tools and Supplies for a Sewing Room. We’ll need the following for we use in a Sewing Room: Sewing table and chair Organizational items and storage Cont.. Design Wall Plenty of electric outlets with surge protectors Lighting Working flow of sewing room 1,Planning and preparation: This involves identifying the sewing projects to be worked on, gathering necessary materials and patterns, and setting up the sewing machine and work area. Cont.. 2,Cutting and layout: Fabric is measured, cut, and laid out according to the project requirements. 3, Sewing: The actual sewing of fabric pieces together using a sewing machine or by hand, following the pattern and design. 4, Pressing and ironing: Fabric and seams are pressed and ironed to ensure a professional finish. 5, Finishing touches: This step involves adding closures, buttons, zippers, and any other final details to the completed project. Cont.. 6,Clean-up and organization: Tools, materials, and equipment are put away, and the work area is tidied to prepare for the next project. Types of sewing machine There are three types of sewing machines • Mechanical/Domestic Sewing Machines • Electronic Sewing Machine • Computerized Sewing Machines Mechanical/Domestic Sewing Machines
These machines are also known as a domestic
sewing machine or tailoring machine. The basic settings in mechanical sewing machines need to be done manually by the user.
When compared with
electronic and computerized sewing machines, mechanical sewing machines are available at a much affordable price. Electronic Sewing Machine
Compared to mechanical sewing machine it have
more in-built features. It is expensive than a mechanical sewing machine.
If sewing is not something
that you do regularly, then you don’t need all the features of the electronic sewing machine. Computerized Sewing Machines These machines are built with advanced technology in sewing. These machines can be connected to the internet and can be used for industrial purposes. Cont.. There is a special feature in computerised sewing machines. This is called Autopilot stitching mode which automatically controls stitching speed, thread tension, and stitch strength. Advanced technology on the sewing machine: • Sewing machine technology is constantly evolving and the latest innovations have made these machines more efficient, precise and user-friendly. Cont.. One of the latest developments is the use of numerical control systems (CNC) in the construction of sewing machines. These systems allow the machine to be programmed in a precise and repeatable manner, eliminating human error and ensuring high-precision stitching. these systems can be used to create custom patterns and make real-time adjustments, making production more efficient and flexible. Cont.. In addition to numerical control systems, there are also automated sewing machines that use artificial vision technology to detect and follow the edges of fabrics. This allows the machine to automatically adapt to fabrics of different shapes and sizes, ensuring greater precision and a lower incidence of errors. Another recent innovation is the use of collaborative robots to support the sewing process. Cont..
These robots can be programmed to perform
repetitive tasks such as loading and unloading fabrics, cutting seams, and collecting finished pieces, allowing operators to focus on more complex tasks. Cont.. In general, sewing machine technology is evolving rapidly and the latest innovations are making these machines more efficient, accurate and easier to use. The use of numerical control systems, artificial vision, internet connection, collaborative robots are some of the innovations that are changing the way sewing machines are used and managed.
