The document outlines the production process of a T-shirt. It begins with spinning yarn, usually cotton or polyester-cotton blend, and then knitting the yarn into fabric. The fabric undergoes finishing like bleaching and dyeing. It is then cut and sewn into shirt pieces, which can be printed on. The shirts are trimmed, packed, and dispatched to customers. The full process turns raw materials into finished T-shirts.

6. Spinning of Yarn
 Cotton fibers are used to make 100% cotton yarn or
sometimes polyester-cotton blending is done.
 Spinning of cotton is done on generally Ring
Spinning Machine.
 Polyester being as a synthetic yarn is developed by
extrusion process.
 Polyester-cotton blending may be done on combing
machine.

7. Fabric Manufacturing
 Fabric for t-shirt is manufactured by Knitting
Technique.
 Circular knitting machine may be used.
 Knitting technique produces fabric in tubular form.
 Knitted fabric is mostly measured by weight of
fabric.

8. Finishing
 After the cloth is knitted, wet processing
treatments are done to control shrinkage
of fabric and fabric is dyed according to
our requirement. Bleaching is also done.

9. Cutting
 Patterns are made according to customer’s order
 Marker Making(closed markers are used but open
markers for child’s t-shirts)
 Spreading of fabric
 Cutting of fabric
 Bundling

11. Stitching
 Garment pieces are stitched.
 Thread is used according to fabric characteristics e.g.
cotton core polyester rapped thread.
 Sometimes only white color thread is used to avoid
time wastage.
 Mostly superimposed seam is used with over end
stitch.
