ABSTRACT:
In a method of making garments by helically winding bands of material, the bands are laid out side-by-side on stock material of predetermined width and the width of the bands is selected so that the sum of the widths of the bands is equal to the width of the material. This achieves a high degree of material utilization. The sizes of garments to be produced is independent, within limits, of the widths of the band, since larger or smaller garments can be made by varying the length of the bands and controlling the helical winding. In making pants-type garments, side extension pieces of generally triangular or trapezoidal form are joined to side edges of first and second bands which are helically wound to form the legs. Such side extension pieces are laid out on the material in alternately reversed, intercalated relation and adjusted lengthwise relative to one another so that the sum of the width of pairs of side extension pieces is equal to the width of the material. In making dress-type garments, a band to be wound helically to form a body portion of the garment is shaped so as to impart shape to the garment and may be cut as a plurality of pieces which are then joined.
