An edge stitching device for a fly includes a table on which the fly is placed, a clamping device which sandwiches the fly in cooperation with the table, a sewing machine which edge-stitches an edge of a fly body, a cutter provided in the sewing machine and cut the fly body to form the curved side, and a clamping device conveying device which conveys the clamping device in a sandwiched state. The clamping device conveying device continuously performs: pre-edge-stitching conveyance, in which the clamping device is linearly conveyed toward the sewing machine in a state where the fly is sandwiched before edge stitching; and edge stitching conveyance, in which the clamping device is conveyed in a state where the fly is sandwiched during the edge stitching. In the edge stitching conveyance, the clamping device is conveyed in accordance with a shape of the curved side formed by the cutter.

A method of attaching a zipper (42) to a carrying case (40) to define an interior compartment or pocket (60). Opposed edges (52, 54) of a single piece of material (50) are folded under and are sewn to respective top (62) and bottom (64) surfaces of a tape (48) of the zipper to form a double layer of the material (58) extending from the zipper. A fold line (56) is formed in the double layer of material, and the fold line is sewn to the body (44) of the case. Stitching steps are minimized, no raw edge is exposed to the interior volume, and the double layer of material provides strength.

There is provided a slide fastener. A pair of fastener element rows are respectively sewn to opposing tape side edge portions of a pair of fastener tapes with sewing threads. Each of the fastener element rows has a plurality of fastener elements. A slider is configured to engage and disengage the pair of fastener element rows. The pair of fastener tapes and the pair of fastener element rows are colored in different colors. The slide fastener is used such that the fastener element rows are at a back side. A width dimension of a gap between the pair of fastener tapes is set to be 10 to 25% of a width dimension of the pair of fastener element rows that are engaged with each other. The color of the fastener element rows is visible through the gap from a front side of the slide fastener.

The purpose of a sewing device is to reduce, as much as possible, manual work performed by a sewing worker during integration processing of a fly and a fastener by means of sewing and fabric edge processing of the fly. Provided is a sewing device including: a fly stand 18 on which a fly 1 is placed; a fastener stand 15 on which a fastener 2 is placed; a first conveying device 68 that conveys the fly on the fly stand; a first sewing machine 69 that oversews an edge of the fly that is being conveyed by the first conveying device; a supplying and conveying device 120 that supplies the fastener from the fastener stand so as to be placed on the fly, the edge of which has been oversewed, in an overlapping manner and that conveys the fly and the fastener together; and a second sewing machine 124 that sews the fly and the fastener being conveyed by the supplying and conveying device together. Manual work performed by a sewing worker is reduced, it becomes easy to hold the fly when processing the edge of the fly, because the fly is supplied as a single object, and the stable quality is achieved in the fly edge processing.

A sewing device includes: a fly base on which a fly is to be placed; a fastener base on which a fastener is to be placed; a first conveying device configured to convey the fly on the fly base; a first sewing machine configured to perform edge overcasting on the fly during conveyance by the first conveying device; a supplying and conveying device configured to supply the fastener from the fastener base onto the fly, on which the edge overcasting is finished, in an overlapped manner, and configured to convey the fly and the fastener together; and a second sewing machine configured to sew the fly and the fastener during conveyance aby the supplying and conveying device.
