Abstract

A decorative engineered self-hem and a method to prepare the decorative engineered self-hem in a single fabric is disclosed herein. It is prepared without having any additional cut and sew, with various weave patterns designed in a design area 10-20 inches from a selvedge area and the rest of the fabric is woven in conventional weave pattern such as satin/twill. The method of preparation includes cutting the fabric parallel to a selvedge area; folding the fabric overlapping the selvedge area; and folding the full fabric horizontally and, at the same time, hemming of edge of the selvedge area to finish.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method of preparing a decorative engineered self-hem in a single fabric, comprising: making a first pattern in an area of the single fabric defining a selvedge area and not making the first pattern in the rest of the fabric; cutting the fabric parallel to the selvedge area; folding the fabric in the selvedge area; folding the fabric along a fold line extending a full length of the cut fabric including through the selvedge area; and hemming an edge of the selvedge area without any additional cut and sew to thereby create the decorative engineered self-hem in the single fabric.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein a second pattern is made in the rest of the fabric, the second pattern being different and visually distinguishable from the first pattern.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first pattern creates a visually distinguished area from the rest of the fabric so as to visually define the area of the resulting hem from the rest of the fabric.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first pattern is made by weaving.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein a second pattern is woven in the rest of the fabric, the second pattern being different and visually distinguishable from the first pattern.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the second pattern comprises a weaver pattern such as satin/twill.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the selvedge area defined in the fabric extends 10-20 inches from an edge of the fabric.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein said fabric is constructed with a yarn count between 40 s and 120 s.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the thread count of the fabric is 200TC or above.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the fabric comprises a plurality of warp yarn and weft yarn.

11. A method of preparing a decorative engineered self-hem in a single fabric, comprising: making a first pattern in an area of the single fabric defining a selvedge area and not making the first pattern in the rest of the fabric; cutting the fabric parallel to the selvedge area; folding the fabric in the selvedge area and thereafter folding the fabric along a fold line extending a full length of the cut fabric including through the folded selvedge area; and hemming an edge of the selvedge area without any additional cut and sew to thereby create the decorative engineered self-hem in the single fabric.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the first pattern is made by weaving.

13. The method of claim 11 , wherein the selvedge area defined in the fabric extends 10-20 inches from an edge of the fabric.

14. The method of claim 11 , wherein said fabric is constructed with a yarn count between 40 s and 120 s.

15. The method of claim 11 , wherein the thread count of the fabric is 200TC or above.

16. A method of preparing a decorative engineered self-hem in a single fabric, comprising: making a first pattern in an area of the single fabric defining a selvedge area and not making the first pattern in the rest of the fabric; cutting the fabric parallel to the selvedge area; folding the fabric along a fold line extending a full length of the cut fabric including through the selvedge area; folding the fabric in the selvedge area; and hemming an edge of the selvedge area without any additional cut and sew to thereby create the decorative engineered self-hem in the single fabric.

17. The method of claim 16 , wherein the first pattern is made by weaving.

18. The method of claim 16 , wherein the selvedge area defined in the fabric extends 10-20 inches from an edge of the fabric.

19. The method of claim 16 , wherein said fabric is constructed with a yarn count between 40 s and 120 s.

20. The method of claim 16 , wherein the thread count of the fabric is 200TC or above.
