Abstract
Multiple garment construction techniques are provided. The first garment construction technique is a method of creating ruching in a mesh material. The second garment construction technique is a method to gather a mesh material to reduce the edge length or to provide a stretch mesh fabric. The third garment construction technique is a method of creating an adjustable strap suitable using a G-clasp element for use with garments of mesh material or other fashion fabrics.
Claims16
A method of creating gathering in mesh material (55), comprising:
- obtaining a mesh portion (56) of mesh material (55) comprising a grid formed of spiders (20) interlocking with rings (30) attached together with chain connection columns (31) between adjacent rows of said spiders (20) and said rings (30);
- each of said spiders (20) comprising four spider legs (21) attached to a spider body (29);
- each of said spider legs (21) curling inward to create a leg channel (27) for accommodating a ring (30);
- obtaining a flexible filament (45);
- selecting a pre-determined chain connection column (31);
- threading a length of said flexible filament (45) through said pre-determined chain connection column (31);
- and
- gathering said pre-determined chain connection column (31) on said flexible filament (45) by reducing said length of said flexible filament (45).
A method of creating ruching in mesh material (55), comprising:
- obtaining a mesh portion (56) of mesh material (55);
- wherein said mesh material (55) comprises a grid formed of multiple spiders (20) interlocking with multiple rings (30) attached together with chain connection columns (31) between adjacent rows of said spiders (20) and said rings (30);
- each of said spiders (20) comprising four spider legs (21) attached to a spider body (29);
- each of said spider legs (21) curling inward to create a leg channel (27) for accommodating a ring (30);
- selecting a first pre-determined edge (25) from said chain connection columns (31) of said mesh portion (56);
- wherein said first pre-determined edge (25) comprises first edge spiders (20) and first edge rings (30);
- removing a first set of multiple triangular wedges (35), each comprising multiple spiders (20) interlocking with multiple rings (30) from along said first pre-determined edge (25);
- wherein the removal of each of said first set of multiple triangular wedges (35) creates a concave void (53) defined by a first void ring-spider border (57) comprising multiple first border spiders (20) and multiple first border rings (30) and a second void ring-spider border (57) comprising multiple second border spiders (20) and multiple second border rings (30);
- leaving a first spider/ring margin (54) between adjacent ones of said first set of multiple triangular wedges (35);
- wherein said first spider/ring margin (54) comprises at least one of said first edge spiders (20) and one of said first edge rings (30) of said first pre-determined edge (25);
- obtaining a first banding-piece (12) of mesh material (55) comprising a first banding-piece edge row (37) of multiple banding-piece spiders (20) interlocking with multiple banding-piece rings (30);
- and
- connecting said first banding-piece edge row (37) with multiple ones of said first spider/ring margins (54).
A method of creating an adjustable strap, comprising:
- obtaining an article (56) comprising a flexible material strap (90);
- said strap (90) comprising a strap garment end (91), a strap adjustment end (99), an inner lining (93) carrying multiple strap fastening components (95), and an outer fashion fabric;
- obtaining a G-clasp (60) comprising a closed outer bar (61), a middle bar (65), a connecting bar (62), a left side bar (63), and an open outer bar (69);
- wherein said closed outer bar (61), said middle bar (65), and said connecting bar (62) define a closed area;
- attaching a receiving channel (75) to said article (56);
- obtaining a tether (80) comprising a G-clasp end (87) and a fastener end (89);
- attaching a tether fastening component (85) that correlates with one of said strap fastening components (95) to said fastener end (89);
- and
- engaging said G-clasp end (87) with said closed outer bar (61);
- wherein, when said open outer bar (69) is introduced through said receiving channel (75) and said tether fastening component (85) is attached to one of said multiple strap fastening components (95), said strap (90) is adjusted in length.
