A facial covering is formed from a single sheet of material. The facial covering comprises a facial coverage region for covering part of a face of a wearer and two lateral regions for holding the facial coverage region in place on the wearer. Each lateral region comprises an ear retainer and an extending section. The extending section comprises a plurality of slits disposed such that the extending section is capable of elastic extension between the ear retainer and the facial coverage region. Methods of manufacturing and of assembling such a facial covering are also described.

A computer-readable medium storing contents configured to cause a computing device to obtain image data describing a subject, measure the subject based on the obtained image data to obtain one or more spatial dimensions, and access data describing a wearable item based on the spatial dimensions of the subject.

A method herein is directed toward measuring clothing through image processing. The method comprises capturing a digital image of a clothing article and a reference object with the camera of the portable electronic device, analyzing the reference object in the digital image to determine a scale of the digital image with the processor of the portable electronic device, analyzing the clothing article in the digital image to determine a determined value for each of a plurality of measurements of the clothing article with the processor of the portable electronic device based upon the determined scale of the digital image, and transmitting the determined value for each of the plurality of measurements with the wireless communication transceiver of the portable electronic device, whereby the clothing article is measured with the portable electronic device.

A sartorial and/or industrial design is provided that is suitable for defining an item of clothing made exclusively from natural-type fibres for a user and including at least one main portion including fabric arranged in straight grain with respect to the body of the user and a secondary portion including a fabric arranged bias-wise with respect to the body of the user that is arranged in an area of the body subject to higher traction than the rest of the body and essentially shaped like at least part of the area of the body.

A clothing pattern making management system, applicable to a server and used and used for allowing users to connect and manage a plurality of clothing pattern making data via a network, at least includes a database and a login and authority management module, a search and viewing module, a connection and upload module, a management and download module. Through the data connection to a business system, the system is able to facilitate the users to perform data upload and management in order to achieve proper preservation and management of large quantity of pattern drawings for various styles of clothes and for all stages, and to achieve the effects of learning exchange and passing on of techniques.

The invention relates to computer implemented methods for generating a garment finish preset comprising assembly instructions for a garment finish for a garment to be fabricated, for automatically generating a garment finish preset comprising assembly instructions for a garment finish for a garment to be fabricated, and for automatically determining at least one candidate from a plurality of garment finish presets, each of said garment finish presets comprising assembly instructions for a garment finish for a garment to be fabricated from garment panels.

Techniques for generating and using digital markups on digital images are presented. In an embodiment, a method comprises receiving, at an electronic device, a digital layout image that represents a form of a product for manufacturing a reference product; generating a digital markup layout by overlaying the digital markup image over the digital layout image; based on the digital markup layout, generating one or more manufacturing files comprising digital data for manufacturing the reference product; receiving a digital reference image of the reference product manufactured based on the one or more manufacturing files; identifying one or more found markup regions in the digital reference image; based on the found markup regions, generating a geometry map and an interactive asset image; based on, at least in part, the geometry map, generating a customized product image by applying a user pattern to the interactive asset image.

Disclosed is a guiding apparatus for use with a machine to facilitate performing an action along a self-guided path on a substrate. The guiding apparatus may include a support member configured to be attached to at least a portion of the machine. Further, the guiding apparatus may include one or more of lighting units, optical sensors, controllers, and user interface components, mounted on the support member, configured to identify an object, obtain position of the object on a substrate and perform an action along a self-guided path in association with that object on the substrate.

Systems and methods are described for managing articles. The systems and methods described herein may comprise an example method for manufacturing an article. The systems and methods provides an end-to-end manufacturing value chain as a closed system and feedback loop.
