ABSTRACT:
A sewing method is provided for the production of garments which include a one-piece seamless body portion, wherein the finished garment will have no seams in the back or the sides. The key step in this method involves positioning a cut fabric element corresponding to the central body portion of the garment, in a face up manner, directly beneath an extension of a base of a sewing machine. Ample space is provided between this extended base of the sewing machine and a substantially horizontal surface on which the fabric element is thus placed. A supply of sliding fastener tape is provided immediately in front of a pair of cooperating needles of the sewing machine. The operator lifts two side edges of the workpiece and feeds them through a conventional edge folding element so that the side edges are folded over as they approach the needles. A length of the sliding fastener tape is laid over the folded edges of the workpiece and fed simultaneously therewith, under the operator's scrutiny and control, to the two needles. The sliding fastener element is thus sewn to the folded over edges of the one-piece, seamless, central body portion of the garment. Leg portions of the central body portion may then be completed in conventional manner, and additional elements such as a collar, sleeves, ankle portions, toe-caps and/or booties or the like then can be readily assembled to the central body portion to complete the garment.
