Garment manufacturing method

Abstract

Provided is a method of manufacturing a garment that can be efficiently manufactured. A third sheet material and a fourth sheet material transported in a superimposed state are partially joined and cut in predetermined positions to form tubular sleeve members. The sleeve members are superimposed with a transported first sheet material for forming a front member. The transported first sheet material and a transported second sheet material are superimposed so that the sleeve members superimposed with the first sheet material are disposed between the first sheet material and the second sheet material. In a second formation process, the first sheet material and the second sheet material transported in the superimposed state are partially joined in conformity with the shape of the outer edge of a garment, and the first sheet material and the second sheet material transported in the superimposed state are partially cut in conformity with the shape of the outer edge of the garment. The garment that has been formed by the second formation process is separated from the first sheet material and the second sheet material.
