II. RATIONALE

One potential source of income generation and job creation for the IP community members would
be a Tailoring project where clothes, uniforms, sports wear and other goods could be made.

Other goods such as cultural related textile or pillows could be sold directly to community
members, schools, establishments or to visitors in the community.

Most importantly, a tailoring shop would create jobs and facilitate skill development for IP
members.

The project aims to provide training and livelihood in tailoring and high-speed sewing through
purchase of high-speed sewing machines and support equipment and providing initial working
capital. The machines will be used to train IP Women, out-of-school youth, unemployed adults
and even Parents of Child Laborer and learn tailoring and high-speed sewing for gainful
employment and business opportunity after learning the skills and acquiring experience.

IV. PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Production of garments shall be based on job orders through contracts. Other demand
garments shall also be produced on a limited basis.

T-shirts are durable, versatile garments with mass appeal that may be worn as outerwear
or underwear. T-shirts are available in a variety of colors, patterns, and styles, such as
the standard crew/round neck and V-neck, as well as tank tops and scoop necks. T-shirt
sleeves may be short or long, capped, yoked, or raglan. Additional features include
pockets and decorative trim. T-shirts are also popular garments on which to display one's
interests, tastes, and affiliations using customized screen prints or heat transfers. Printed
shirts may feature political slogans, humor, art, sports, as well as famous people and
places. T-shirts are also inexpensive promotional vehicles for products and special
events.

T-shirts fit just about anyone in any size, from infants to seniors. Adult sizes are
generally small, medium, large, and extra-large, while sizes for toddlers are determined
by month and weight. In addition, to compensate for the larger heads of infants relative
to their bodies, shirts are specially designed with shoulder openings that may be fastened
with buttons or snaps.

A garment or clothing in simple term refers to a covering for a human body that is worn.
The wearing of clothing is exclusively a human characteristic and is a feature nearby all
human societies. Physically, clothing serves many purposes: it can serve as protection
from all harmful elements that may contact the body and enhance safety during
hazardous activities.

Garment making on clothes like T-shirts and sports attires are products that are mostly
bought by our buying public in all walks of life.

3. Factors that affecting Past Trends and Future Supply

The trends for supply and demand for the municipality on garments making,
printing and embroidery is increasing in the past three years. The only hampering
factor is the significant distance of these suppliers to the buyers in . There are few
who can deliver printing and designing services but the prices are high and the
customers don’t have the choices since cost of production and delivery and taxes
are already included in pricing of garment items.

VI. MARKETING ASPECT

VIII. PRODUCTION PROCESS

This is the Basic Production Flowchart of production of T-shirt. In advance some of the
process can be added or removed. Here is a brief discussion of every process steps of T-
shirt manufacturing technology.

1. Styling

DUMRIC – EMPOWERING IP COMMUNITY IN MACO THROUGH GARMENTS AND

TAILORING PROJECT
 The T-shirt style is designed and the dimensions are transferred to patterns.
Adjustments are made for size differences and stylistic preferences.

2. Cutting

The T-shirt sections are cut to the dimensions of the patterns. The pieces consist of a
tubed body, or separate front and back sections, sleeves, perhaps pockets, and trim.

3. Assembling the front and back

For fabric that is not tubed, the separate pieces for the front and back sections must
be stitched together at the sides. They are joined at the seam lines to form a simple,
narrow, superimposed seam and stitched together using an overedge stitch. Care
must be taken to avoid a needle cutting the yarn of the fabric, which can lead to tears
in the garment.

4. Assembling the sleeves

The hems of sleeves are generally finished before they are fitted into the garment,
since it is easier to hem the fabric while it is flat. An automated system moves the
sleeves to the sewing head by conveyor. The edge may be finished by folding it
over, forming the hem and stitching, or by applying a band. The band may be
attached as a superimposed seam or folded over the edge as binding.

If the T-shirt body is tubular, the sleeve material is first sewn together, and then set
into the garment. Alternatively, if the T-shirt is "cut and sewn," the unseamed sleeve
is set into place. Later during the final stage of sewing the shirt, the sleeve and side
seams are sewn in one action.

5. Stitching the hem

The garment hem is commonly sewn with an overedge stitch, resulting in a flexible
hem. The tension of the stitch should be loose enough to allow stretching the
garment without tearing the fabric. Alternative hem styles include a combination of
edge finishing stitches.

6. Adding pockets

Pockets may be sewn onto T-shirts intended for casual wear. Higher quality T-shirts
will insert an interlining into the pocket so that it maintains its shape. The interlining
is inserted into the pocket as it is sewn onto the T-shirt front. Pockets may be
attached to the garment with automated setters, so the operator only has to arrange
the fabric pieces, and the mechanical setter positions the pocket and stitches the
seam.

7. Stitching the shoulder seams

Generally, shoulder seams require a simple superimposed seam. Higher quality T-

shirt manufacturers may reinforce seams with tape or elastic. Depending on the style
of the T-shirt, the seams at the shoulder may be completed before or after the
neckband is attached. For instance, if a tubular neckband is to be applied, the
shoulder seams must first be closed.

8. Attaching the neckband

DUMRIC – EMPOWERING IP COMMUNITY IN MACO THROUGH GARMENTS AND

TAILORING PROJECT
 For crew neck shirts, the neck edge should be slightly shorter in circumference than
the outer edge where it is attached to the garment. Thus, the neckband must be
stretched just the right amount to prevent bulging. Tubular neckbands are applied
manually. The bands are folded, wrong sides together, stretched slightly, and aligned
with the neckline. The superimposed seam is stitched with an over edge stitch.

Bound seams are finished with a cover stitch and are easy to achieve. Bound seams
may be used on a variety of neckline styles. The process entails feeding ribbed fabric
through machines which fold the fabric and apply tension to it.

Some neckbands on lower-priced shirts are attached separately to the front and back
necklines of the garment. Thus when the shoulder seams are stitched, seams are
visible on the neckband.

V-necks require the extra step of either lapping or mitering the neckband. In the
former process, one side is folded over the other. A mitered seam is more complex,
requiring an operator to overlap the band accurately and stitch the band at center
front. An easier method for a V-neck look is to attach the band to the neckline and
then sew a tuck to form a V.

9. Finishing the neckline

Necklines with superimposed seams may be taped, so that the shirt is stronger and
more comfortable. Tape may be extended across the back and over the shoulder
seams to reinforce this area as well and to flatten the seam. The seam is then cover
stitched or top stitched.

10. Label setting

One or more labels are usually attached at the back of the neckline. Labels provide
information about the manufacturer, size, fabric content, and washing instructions.

11. Optional features

Some T-shirts will have trim or screen prints added for decorative purposes. Special
T-shirts for infants have larger openings at the head. The shoulder seams are left
open near the neck, and buttons or other fasteners are attached.

12. Finishing operations

T-shirts are inspected for flaws in the fabric, stitching, and thread.

High-quality T-shirts may be pressed through steam tunnels before they are
packaged. Packaging depends on the type of T-shirt and the intended distribution
outlet. Shirts may be boarded, or folded around a piece of cardboard, so that they
maintain their shape during shipping and on the shelf. Finally, they are placed into
boxes by the dozen or half-dozen.

13. Quality Control

Manufacturers may also set guidelines for the company. There are standards that
apply specifically to the T-shirt industry, which include proper sizing, and fit,
appropriate needles and seams, types of stitches, and the number of stitches per inch.
Stitches must be loose enough to allow the garment to stretch without breaking the
seam. Hems must be flat and wide enough to prevent curling. T-shirts must also be

DUMRIC – EMPOWERING IP COMMUNITY IN MACO THROUGH GARMENTS AND

TAILORING PROJECT
 inspected for proper application of neck-lines, which should rest flat against the
body. The neckline should also recover properly after being slightly stretched.

A. Building and Facilities

Building and facilities is counterpart of the Organization amounting to P 165,000.00

B. Utilities

Electricity and water supply is counterpart of the Organization while fuel and supplies is
counterpart of the Local Government Unit of Barangay Dumlan.

‘E. Waste Disposal

Textiles strips are to be made into rags as to minimize accumulation of volume of wastes
into the solid waste mainstream of the municipality while paints cans and other toxic
wastes generated by the operation will be disposed properly into a septic vault.
Biodegradable waste should follow the usual practice of composting while recyclable
materials will be kept for merchandizing.
