    7TH TEXTEH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE Bucharest, Romania, October 22-23, 2015 DETERMINATION OF FABRICS PROPERTIES FOR REVERSIBLE GARMENTS Oksana Zakharkevich1, Svetlana Kuleshova2 and Galina Shvets3 1 Department of Technology and Design of Sewing Garments, Khmelnitsky national university 11 Institutskaya street, 29016, Khmelnitsky, Ukraine e-mail: zbir_vukladaс[email protected], webpage: http://orcid.org/0000-0002-6542-9727 Keywords: Transformable clothing, Reversible garment, Value ranges, Set, Roughness. Abstract. Transformable fashion is one of the appropriate alternatives to reduce consumption and reinforce consumers to engage in sustainable lifestyle. Transformable fashion can be basically defined as a garment that can be comfortably worn in multiple ways. A reversible garment is a type of transformable fashion which can be worn two ways. Transformable woman’s garments belong to the chains of transformations which might include different types of garments. All of them might be made of different fabrics, and they might meet to different quality requirements. Furthermore reversible garment has no true "inside out", and that is why each side must have some lining properties. The main purpose of this research is to obtain recommended value ranges of the fabrics properties for reversible garments in order to meet all of quality requirements. As input data for the research the value ranges of specific parameters of the different types of fabrics' properties were used. But at present we have no detailed knowledge about some of properties. That is why we proposed to evaluate the fabric smoothness by measuring fabric surface roughness characteristics. Thus, the recommended ranges of materials’ properties for reversible garments were obtained as an intersection of the uncountable sets determine the value ranges of specific parameters of the materials’ properties for different garments types and lining.

Abstract: An Idea For Developing Trendy Garments In Different Material Jute is a long, soft, shiny vegetable fiber that can be spun into coarse, strong threads. It is produced primarily from plants in the genus Corchorus, which was once classified with the family Tiliaceae, and more recently with Malvaceae. The primary source of the fiber is Corchorusolitorius, but it is considered inferior to Corchoruscapsularis."Jute" is the name of the plant or fiber used to make burlap, hessian or gunny cloth. Jute is one of the most affordable natural fibers, and second only to cotton in the amount produced and variety of uses. Jute fibers are composed primarily of the plant materials cellulose and lignin. It falls into the bast fiber category (fiber collected from bast, the phloem of the plant, sometimes called the "skin") along with kenaf, industrial hemp, flax (linen), ramie, etc. The industrial term for jute fiber is raw jute. The fibers are off-white to brown, and 1–4 metres (3–13 feet) long.

These can be used as a base for specialized cast ons, to add sections seamlessly at the bottom of your knitting, or to join the top and bottom edge to make a seamless tube. You'll practice five different provisional cast ons to see which you find most effective, and five different implementations: adding a border, making a hem, joining top and bottom edges seamlessly, working from the center out so both ends match in a shawl or scarf and creating a tubular cast on. (3 hours – limited to 20 students) Reversible Borders - Sometimes you want the inside of your garment to look just as good as the outside: when the front of a cardigan is worn open, when a collar is turned back to form lapels, when you want to create a truly reversible garment, or when you need to enclose cut edges of knitted or handwoven fabrics. Try out three different approaches to borders that create as neat a finish on the inside as on the outside: doubled borders, tubular borders, and bindings. For each of these construction techniques we'll use a different method of picking up stitches and there will be plenty of opportunities to discuss variations and applications to special situations. (3 hours – limited to 20 students) Bind Offs for All Occasions - Bored using the same old bind off? Does it look too tight or just plain ugly? Learn bind offs to use when shaping or seaming, to make gathers or add fringes, in textured patterns, cables and multiple colors.
