Green means 4 kid's attire

Abstract

The following information relates to new methods of recycling clothing. Although the concept of recycling garments is not new, the new methods and the results of those methods are both new and unexpected. Rarely is the recycling of garments as practical and as easy as the methods to be presented. Additionally, these methods of recycling can enable apparel manufacturers, sewing boutiques, and even home sewers, to save money and time. Benefits include sewing as little as possible while having the effect that much sewing has taken place. Another gain includes the prospect of recycling garments that failed quality control inspections due to slight imperfections. By utilizing the new methods, a marketable children's apparel line can emerge, from what would normally be a loss. Consider the benefits of a new children's apparel line almost completely sewn before the new recycling methods begin.

       2 . A new method of converting existing or imperfect clothing into children's clothing and hats by utilizing areas of interest such as: plackets, back yokes, embellishments, collars, sleeves, seams and hems. Said method of conversion can be preformed via conventional as well as state of the art systems of cutting and sewing on existing clothing or at any appropriate stage during the apparel manufacturing process. The new method of conversion comprising:
 The conversion of existing plackets as found in a garment, into children's shirts, dresses, jackets, and coats;   The conversion of plackets that have been severed in the previously described method via applicable forms of cutting or tearing from a garment to be reattached to the top and pants of button underclothes. The opposite sides of the severed placket are attached via sewing at the middle waistline area of the top and bottoms of the underclothes creating an underclothing set that buttons in a continuous manner around the waistline. In addition, the back of the underpants can drop down for easy use while the front of the underclothes are still buttoned together;   The conversion of back yokes & embellishments by means of conventional forms of cutting and sewing resulting in the construction of children's shirts, blouses, skirts, dresses, and coats;   The conversion of collars and or collar parts, via conventional forms of cutting and sewing, to become hat brims, tiny sleeve cuffs, and or waistband adjusters;   The conversion of long and short sleeves via conventional forms of cutting and sewing techniques, to become pants, shorts, bloomers, diaper or panty covers, and petticoats;   The use of any existing seams and hems on garments or garment sections to be converted into children's clothing, via conventional forms of cutting and sewing techniques, there by reducing and sometimes eliminating steps currently needed for the production of children's clothing;   Means for the conversion of any described garment section at any phase of apparel production for use in said method of constructing children's clothing and hats;   means for said method of construction to result in children's clothing and hats;   Means for utilization and modification of all tools within CAD system applications including NURBS for the interaction between the design and construction elements of said new method of conducting children's clothing and hats;   Means of including state-of-the-the-art techniques to simulate and animate said method as a way of streamlining the manufacturing process as described;   Means to incorporate all forms of available automated apparel design, cutting and construction techniques to ease the production and manufacture of said method and;   Means to incorporate all forms of available automated apparel design, cutting and construction techniques that are yet to be invented to ease the production and manufacture of said method.
