Abstract

The following information relates to new process of recycling garments. Although the concept of recycling garments is not new, the new process and the results of those process are both new and unexpected. Rarely is the recycling of garments as practical and as easy as the process to be presented. Additionally, these process 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 process, 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 recycling process begin.

 wherein the predetermined garment piece is selected from the group consisting of a garment body, placket with or without collar stand, yoke, embellishment, collar, sleeve, seam, hem, and waistband, 
 wherein the first template is sized to provide excess material at the sides of the cut piece for forming a seam allowance; 
   cutting around the first template on the first existing garment to form a first new pattern piece;
 wherein the first new pattern piece includes at least one intact portion of the predetermined piece of the first existing garment; 
   removing the first new pattern piece from the first existing garment for later joining;   aligning a second template over a predetermined piece of a second existing garment,
 wherein the predetermined garment piece is selected from the group consisting of a garment body, placket with or without collar stand, yoke, embellishment, collar, sleeve, seam, hem, and waistband, 
 wherein the second template is sized to provide excess material at the sides of the cut piece for forming a seam allowance;
