After passing the cutting section, different cut parts are assembled in the sewing section by sewing operation.
To determine the fabric consumption per dozen of a polo t-shirt, a measurement chart is given below:
| Points Of Measurement | Cm |
| Body Length | 62 |
| ½ Chest | 48 |
| Slv Length | 22 |
| Armhole Circumference | 40 |
| Collar Height | 5 |
| Collar Width | 24 |
| Slv Rib Height | 2.5 |
| Slv Opening | 17.5 |
| Body Fabric Weght (Gsm) | 180 |
| Rib Fabric Weidth (Gsm ) | 230 |
Fabric Consumption of Polo T-Shirt
Front Part:
(Length +aw)*(width +aw)
=(body length +aw )*(1/2 chest + aw)
=(62+4)*(48+2)
=3300 square cm
Back Part: same like front part:
Sleeve:
(Length +aw)*(width +aw)
=(slv length –slv rib height +aw)*(arm hole circumference +aw)*2
=(22-2.5+2)*(40+2)*2
=1806 square cm
Total fabric
=3300+3300+1806
=8406 Sqare Cm
Body Fabric Consumption
=[{(Total Fabric Square Cm)*Fabric Weight *12)}/10000000] + Wastage (10%)
={(8406*180*12)/(10000000)}+10%
=2kg/Dz
Rib Fabric:
Collar
= (Length +Aw)*(Width +Aw)
= (Collar Height + Aw )*Collar Width (No Aw As It Is Open)
=(5+1)*24
=144 Square Cm
Collar Fabric Consumption
=[{(Toata Fabric Square Cm)*Fabric Weight *12)}/10000000] + Wastage (10%)
={(144*230*12)/10000000}+10%
= 0.04kg/Dz
Rib/Cuff:
=(Length +Aw)*(Width +Aw)*2
=(Slv Rib Height +Aw)*(Slv Opening +Aw )*2
= (2.5+1)*(17.5+2)*2
=136.5 Square Cm
Slv Fabric Consumption
=[{(Total Fabric Square Cm)*Fabric Weight *12)}/10000000] + Wastage (10%)
=(136.5*230*12)/(10000000)+10%
=0.04kg /Dz
Body Fab = 2kg /Dz
Collar Fab =0.04kg/Dz
Slv Rib =0.04kg/Dz
={(5765*180*12)/(10000000}+10%
= 1.32 Kg /Dz
