A method of fabricating pattern composite fabric pieces by an automatic pattern fabric article piece processing machine is described. A composite fabric sheet is fed in the processing machine onto a conveyor having a permeable belt under which is provided a vacuum chamber to retain the fabric sheet stationary while a laser cutter effects a programmed job function. The machine forms seam allowance flaps for the composite fabric pattern piece. A stitching or ultrasonic bonding machine also forms seams. In a further stage, printed matter may be applied to the allowance flaps. Glue may also be applied to the flaps and labels to some of the pattern fabric pieces. By interconnecting the seam allowance flaps of different fabric pieces, in a specific order, a fabric material article is produced.

Interconnections are formed between electronic devices embedded in a smart textile panel. A highly bendable drawn fiber in the panel includes continuous and/or discrete active elements encapsulated in a flexible matrix. E-fabrics include vias forming interconnections between conductors included on or in the fabric. A flexible connection pad of alternated conducting and insulating elastomer regions forms a plurality of interconnections between an external device and the conductors of an e-fabric. E-fabrics are formed by preassembling conductors with ribbons of adhesive to form conducting assemblies, and then bonding the conducting assemblies to fabric or to pre-manufactured garments, including across seams thereof. A garment such as a hoodie includes position, orientation, flexion, and/or acceleration sensors that enable a user to control aspects of an audiovisual concert such as volume, balance, tone, recorded feedback, and mashups, as well as light displays and pyrotechnics by physical gestures.

An apparatus for executing a method of manufacturing multi-piece closed-back isolation garments (410) includes machinery for creating discrete torso web pieces (412) from a continuous torso web, combining the discrete torso pieces with a continuous shoulder web (414) having neck openings (444) therein, and cutting the combined torso and shoulder web structure to form the isolation garments. The isolation garments may be used as protection from potentially hazardous or unclean materials in a variety of different environments.

A machine for manufacturing boxers starting from a first and a second tubular fabric includes a separating station configured for separating a fabric element from the second tubular fabric. The machine includes a handling station configured for defining an operating configuration in which the first tubular fabric defines an operating area, and a moving device configured for placing the fabric element inside the operating area. The machine further comprises a sewing station configured for receiving the incoming tubular fabric and the fabric element placed in the operating area and for sewing longitudinal edges the fabric element to edge segments of an end of the first tubular fabric so as to obtain a boxer.
