Abstract
A method of forming an undergarment is provided. The method includes inserting an adhesive layer between a first fabric layer and a second fabric layer to form a fabric sub-assembly, the sub-assembly having a periphery that is larger than an outer periphery of the undergarment; causing the adhesive layer to form a laminate from the sub-assembly; and removing a trim from the laminate at the outer periphery to form a finished edge of the undergarment, wherein the first and second fabric layers comprise at least one cotton material.
Claims23
A method of forming an undergarment comprising:
- inserting an adhesive layer between a first fabric layer and a second fabric layer to form a fabric sub-assembly, said sub-assembly having a periphery that is larger than an outer periphery of the undergarment;
- causing said adhesive layer to form a laminate from said sub-assembly;
- and
- removing a trim from said laminate at said outer periphery to form a finished edge of the undergarment, wherein said first and second fabric layers include a blend cotton-based material.
A method of forming an undergarment comprising:
- applying an adhesive layer to a first fabric layer, said first fabric layer being a first cotton blend fabric;
- overlying said adhesive layer with a second fabric layer, said second fabric layer being a second cotton blend fabric;
- causing said adhesive layer to bond said first and second fabric layers together to form a stretchable laminate, said stretchable laminate having a periphery that is larger than an outer periphery of the undergarment;
- and
- cutting said stretchable laminate along said outer periphery to form a finished edge of the undergarment that resists unraveling.
A method of forming an undergarment comprising:
- forming an adhesive layer having an adhesive free region;
- surrounding said adhesive layer with a first fabric layer and a second fabric layer;
- causing said adhesive layer to bond said first and second fabric layers together to form a stretchable laminate, said stretchable laminate having a periphery that is larger than an outer periphery of the undergarment;
- and
- cutting stretchable said laminate along said outer periphery to form a finished edge of the undergarment that resists unraveling, wherein said adhesive layer is a layer of thermally actuated polyethylene and ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer.
