Abstract
A textile component includes pockets and/or channels woven directly into a fabric web using a jacquard or dobby weaving method. The textile component may be used in a variety of applications for attachment to an article or structure. In addition, the component may include a seam/cut line formed by a binding weave and a seaming weave defining the perimeter shape of the textile component and defining an intended path for a cutting device. The component may be woven inside out so that the binding and seaming weaves conceal the seam when the component is turned inside out. A decorative pattern or motif can be woven with reverse weaves so that, when the component is turned rightside out, the decorative face is exposed.
