HISTORY OF GARMENT
CONSTRUCTION
Before sewing
machines, nearly all
clothing was local and
hand-sewn, there were
tailors and seamstresses
in most towns that
could make individual
items of clothing for
customers. After the
sewing machine was
invented, the readymade clothing industry
took off.
SEWING MACHINE
In 1834,Walter Hunt
America's first (somewhat)
successful sewing machine.
He later lost interest in
patenting because he
believed his invention would
cause unemployment.
(Hunt's machine could only
sew straight steams.) Hunt
never patented and in 1846,
the first American
patentwas issued to Elias
Howe for "a process that
used thread from two
different sources.

TYPES OF FABRIC
CONSTRUCTION
Woven fabrics are made in hand looms, power looms and mill
made. Making woven fabrics is simple. But yarn counts, reed &
picks (warp & weft), width should be considered with more care.
The fabric quality is made differently by various methods of
finishing and treating.
GARMENT CONSTRUCTION
SPECIALIZED AREAS.
Garment construction can be divided into
different specialized areas. At the top of the
manufacturing chain are
Haute couture and
The tailoring crafts,
which involve working with individual
customers.
At the lower ends of the manufacturing
chain are
Industrially produced garments.
A haute couture
garment is often made
for a client, tailored
specifically for the
wearers measurements
and body stance.
Haute couture garments
are also described as
having no price tag - in
other words, budget is
not relevant.
INDUSTRIALLY PRODUCED
GARMENTS
Ready-to-wearor
Industrially produced
garments is the term
for factory made
clothing, sold in
finished condition, in
standardized sizes, as
distinct frommade to
measure orbespoke
clothing tailored to a
particular person's
frame.

while walking or working.
If any alterations are to
be made on the garment
then Mark the correct
line with tailors chalk and
tack the corrected seam
line or dart line from the
inside of the garment.
The paper patterns
should also be altered on
the basis of changes
made in the garment.

fitting is achieved,

for fitting is done.

checking the fitting,
