  • “Direct Pattern on Loom”-An Innovative Method of Garment Construction
    Science ile & xt Ukey et al., J Textile Sci Eng 2013, 3:2 e E T n f g i DOI: 10.4172/2165-8064.1000131 o n l e a e n r r i n u Journal of Textile Science & Engineering g o J ISSN: 2165-8064 Research Article OpeOpen nAccess Access “Direct Pattern on Loom”-An Innovative Method of Garment Construction Pravin Ukey*, P V Kadole and Sarika Borikar Department of Textiles (Fashion Technology) DKTE’s Textile & Engineering Institute, Ichalkaranji, (M.S) India Abstract The impact of the fast fashion phenomenon is seen both in apparel and textile manufactures since the manufacturing time of apparels is considered as the most potential factor in reducing the overall time of the fashion cycle. In addition to the need for reduction in lead time, there is an increase in levels of quality expectations, resulting in higher cost of manufacture. Hence, in the present scenario, for high fashion garments, there is a need for technology which can minimize lead time and fabric losses, in addition to the production of garments as per the requirement of the customers in a short span of time. A DPOL (Direct Pattern on Loom) method for weaving fabric in the shape of garment panels (pieces) finished at the edges that could considerably reduce fabric loss and lead time is developed by using the electronic jacquard weaving machine. The main aim of the project is to study the feasibility of the production of Direct pattern on Loom especially on jacquard and to check the lead time required with conventional and this modern method.

  • Make Your Own Cardboard Loom
    Make Your Own Cardboard Loom Overview Though hand weaving was not as prevalent in the 1830s as it had been in the late 18th century, there were still people in rural communities who practiced the art of weaving on a loom. Participants in this activity will make their own simple loom from cardboard and try out a weaving project! Background Wool comes from sheep. Sheep were sheared by hand with a pair of shears (they look like big scissors). Sturbridge farmers clipped between 7000 and 9000 pounds of wool in 1835! The wool was then picked and cleaned, carded, spun, and woven into cloth. OSV’s sheep are bred to resemble the types of sheep you might have seen in New England during the time period. Before the Industrial Revolution, all cloth was woven on a loom, operated by a person. At OSV, you can see costumed historians making fabric on a loom at the Fenno House. Supplies ● Piece of cardboard--it doesn’t matter how big your cardboard is. It can be a square or a rectangle, long or wide. ● Scissors ● Ruler ● Pencil ● Yarn for weaving ● String for warping ● Fork (optional) ● Blunt sewing needle OR popsicle stick/small piece of cardboard to act as a shuttle Directions 1. Lay your ruler along the top of the cardboard. Use your pencil to make marks every ¼”. You will also want your notches to be about ¼” deep, so you can draw a full line if it will help you make the cuts all the same length. 2. Repeat step 1 along the bottom of your cardboard.

  • Cotton and the Community: Exploring Changing Concepts of Identity and Community on Lancashire’S Cotton Frontier C.1890-1950
    Cotton and the Community: Exploring Changing Concepts of Identity and Community on Lancashire’s Cotton Frontier c.1890-1950 By Jack Southern A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment for the requirements for the degree of a PhD, at the University of Central Lancashire April 2016 1 i University of Central Lancashire STUDENT DECLARATION FORM I declare that whilst being registered as a candidate of the research degree, I have not been a registered candidate or enrolled student for another aware of the University or other academic or professional institution. I declare that no material contained in this thesis has been used for any other submission for an academic award and is solely my own work. Signature of Candidate ________________________________________________ Type of Award: Doctor of Philosophy School: Education and Social Sciences ii ABSTRACT This thesis explores the evolution of identity and community within north east Lancashire during a period when the area gained regional and national prominence through its involvement in the cotton industry. It examines how the overarching shared culture of the area could evolve under altering economic conditions, and how expressions of identity fluctuated through the cotton industry’s peak and decline. In effect, it explores how local populations could shape and be shaped by the cotton industry. By focusing on a compact area with diverse settlements, this thesis contributes to the wider understanding of what it was to live in an area dominated by a single industry. The complex legacy that the cotton industry’s decline has had is explored through a range of settlement types, from large town to small village.

  • The Textile Machinery Collection at the American Textile History Museum a Historic Mechanical Engineering Heritage Collection
    THE TEXTILE MACHINERY COLLECTION AT THE AMERICAN TEXTILE HISTORY MUSEUM A HISTORIC MECHANICAL ENGINEERING HERITAGE COLLECTION Textiles are an important part of our everyday lives. They clothe and comfort us, protect our first-responders, Introduction filter the air in our automobiles, and form the core of the fuselage in our newest aircraft. We enjoy their bright colors, wrap up in their warmth, and seldom give a second thought to how they make bicycles stronger and lighter or how they might be used to repair our vital organs. As textiles have changed from the first simple twisted fibers to high-tech smart fabrics, the tools and machinery used to make them have evolved as well. Drop spindles and spinning wheels have given way to long lines of spinning frames. And looms now use puffs of air instead of the human hand to insert the weft thread in a growing length of fabric. During the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, textile manufacture was the catalyst for the Industrial Revolution in America. It was the leading edge in the transformation from an agricultural to a manufacturing economy and started the move of significant numbers of people from rural areas to urban centers. With industrialization came a change in the way people worked. No longer controlled by natural rhythms, the workday demanded a life governed by the factory bell. On the consumer side, industrialization transformed textiles from one of a person’s most valuable possessions to a product widely available at incredibly low prices. For more than a century, textile mills in Great Britain and the United States dominated textile production and led the industrial revolution in both Europe and North America.

Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Government Degree College, Saidpur, Ghazipur U.P., Abstract The powerloom industry came to be a successor and extension of the handloom industry. It was therefore obvious that handloom centers in the country developed into powerloom centers also. Of course, there were some other centers which developed independently as powerloom centers for different reasons. The main ailment of the power loom industry is that a large portion of it depends upon the private spinners for the supply of yarn and on the master weavers for the processing of cloth, its sale, etc. The imbalance in the weaving and spinning capacity and lack of a co-operative infrastructure for pre and post weaving facilities have been causing acute economic hardships to the weavers. Besides, as their services are not institutionalized, they have to forgo the commercial gains of their labour and have been reduced to the position of hired labour. The vast majorities of power loom weavers fall in the lowest income group. Majority of them work for master weavers who exploit them by manipulating the prices of raw materials as well as finished goods to their own advantage.
