Course Title :- Garment Manufacturing& KNITTING


2. Course Code :- TT-504
3. Semester :- 5th ( Fifth)
4. Rationale of the subject/ Courses:-The fabrics are to be produced to serve certain end
uses. These end uses determine the properties and the quality of the fabric that it
should posses. The quality of the fabric depends on its' 'functional' and 'aesthetic'
properties. These in turn are governed by raw material selection (fibre), yarn used,
fabric construction, structure and texture, and ornamentation of fabric. Some of the end
uses emphasis only on the functional aspects and others on both functional and
aesthetic aspects. It brings in, the importance of this subject of the fabric structure,
design, and colour. In this subject the students are taught about the advanced methods
of fabric design and structure and their production on the looms. They are also taught
the methods of ornamenting the fabric with attractive figures during weaving process.
The fabrics can also be embellished with the colour prints in chemical processing. There
the students are taught about the use of colours and methods of developing the
attractive figures, which can be used to decorate the fabrics.
Knitting Technology is the important are of textile industry. Knitted fabrics due to its
stretchable and favorable properties are in good demand and it is expected to rise
day by day. Knitted fabrics find uses for under garments, sports uniforms, summer
and winter dresses ,etc to a large extent. This sector is now diversifying into
synthetics, domestics fabric, carpets, technical and geo textiles. Similarly, since last
few years young generation has been attracted to readymade garments due to
quality, cost and readiness of availability. As such, large opportunities for the textile
technologist particularly diploma pass –out exist in this field. Already many diploma
pass outs are finding employment in this area. Therefore, the main object is to equip
the students with all the relevant technical knowledge for manufacturing of knitted
fabrics, articles garments and the maintenance aspects of the machines used. This
subject will help the students to start their small scale industrial units which will help
them for self employment.

Course Outcome: After completion of this course student will be able to-

CO1: Have a complete overview of the various aspects involved in Garment manufacturing right
from fabric to finished garments, throw light on the various departments involved in the garment
manufacturing process with a detailed understanding of machines and equipments used in each
department such as Cutting, Sewing, Quality control, Finishing and so on.

CO2: Understand the need and importance for standardization of body measurements into size
groups for bulk manufacturing, basic knowledge of sewing mechanisms and types of machines and
seams used for the same. Prepare the basic patterns for garments and understand their need and
purpose in bulk manufacturing.

CO3: Realize the importance of Quality in the Garmenting process and how it plays a pivotal role in
controlling and commanding the market price, as well as arrive at manufacturing targets to achieve
higher levels of efficiency by arriving at a conclusive man-machine ratio.
