Description
1;~ 9~
The present invention relates to the fields of garments, garment patterns, and garment manufacture. It has particular relevance to infant garments.
The one-piece garment known as the infant sleeper is a very popular item of clothing for young children. It is a union-suit design, with an opening from the neck-band down the front of the garm~nt, and then down one leg. It is usually made from a two-way stretch terry-cloth, but a variety of materials are also used for it by the garment industry.
Traditionally, the infant sleeper has been manufactured from a five piece pattern including a back panel, left and right front panels, and left and right sleeve panels. Use of a~five pi~ce pattern has meant a large amount of hand labour has been required to cut, and then to sew the garments together.
The object of the present invention is to provide a new garment particularly suitable for use as an infant sleeper, and a one, two or three piece pattern for manufacturing same, according to a new manufacturing method.
Another object of the present invention is to provide an 2 infant sleeper, pattern and manufacturing method which are improvements over known sleepers, patterns for sleepers and manufacturing methods for same.

Figure 5,a is a front view of a finished sleeper made according to the pattern of Figure 5.
In all drawings o~ patterns, edges to be sewn are indicated with cross-hatches.
Reerring to Figure 1, it will be seen that the conventional or "industry standard" prior art sleeper is a five-piece design with a back panel A left and right front panels B and C and left and right sleeve panels D and E. ~eck-bands and cuffs aside, (because these features are similar in prior art garments, and the garments of the present invention) there are ~0 ive seams in an industry standard sleeper. A first seam 1 extends around practically the entire perimeter of the garment from one wrist to its associated underarm, down the side, around the legs, up the other side, down the sleeve, to the other wrist.
Four more seams 2 connect the sleeves to the body of the garment, at the front and the back. (the arrows on Figure la indicate the seams at the bac- ol the garment).
' .
', . ' ,, The inseam 3 of a leg may be left open, if desired, so that it is easier to clothe an infant with the garment. This open inseam will merge with the open front o~ the garmen~. The fabric used most often in the industry standard sleeper is a two-way stretch terry cloth.
Referring next to Figures 2 and 2a, a one-piece pattern according to the present invention is illustrated in Figure 2.
The various panels which make up the pattern are delineated by dotted lines, and include:
Back panel 4 front left side panel 5 front right side panel 6 left sleeve panel 7 right sleeve panel 8 gusset panel 9 A head-hole 10 is provided near the junction of the sleeve 7 and 8 and back 4 panels. A conventional neck-band 11 and cuffs 12 are sewn into the head-hole at the appropriate time.
The pa-ttern of Figure 2 is preferably cut from one-way stretch terry cloth, with the direction of stretch oriented length-wise on the pattern (i.e. from head to toe). This point should be borne in mind when using a stretch fabric in the method of the present invention, because it has been found that if a two-way stretch fabric is used, or if the stretch on a one-way : . ' , ~.
.
~2~
stretch ~abric is oriented laterally, the seams in the legs of the garment will tend to twist around the leg. However, as noted below, fabric without stretch is also susceptable of use in the present invention, with minor modification in the pattern.
The lowest edges 7a, 8a of the sleeve panels 7, 8 are separated from the uppermost edges 5a, 6a of the front panels by a slit. The upper edges 7b, 8b of the sleeve panels 7, 8 are straight, and are twice as long as the lower edges 7a and 8a thereof. Accordingly, when right and left front panels 5,6 are folded over onto back panel 4 during the manufacture of the garment of the present invention, edges 5a and 7a will extend as one continuous edge. Also, edges 6a and 8a will extend as one continuous edge. Moreover, these two continuous edges will lie opposite the top edges 7b and 8b. Fuxther, it will be seen that gusset panel 9, which extends off one of the front side panels (illustrated as extending off left panel 6, but may extend from the right panel) so that when the front side panels 6, 5 are folded over onto the back panel 4, gusset panel 9 will be aligned with the inside edge of the back panel of the opposite leg.
With the above description of a one-piece pattern of the present invention in mind, the manufacturing method of the present invention may be summarized as follows:
i) the pattern is laid out on a one-way stretch terry fabric, with the longitudi~nal (i.e. head to toe) direction of the~pattern ~ligned with the direction of .
..
.
.
' ,, ' ~ ' ' .:
stretch of the fabric, and the fabric is cut according to the pattern;
ii) the right and left front panels 5 and 6 are folded over onto the back panel 4. Note: the front panel from which the gusset 9 extends should be folded over first because the gusset should directly overlay the opposite leg of the back panel 4.
iii) sleeve panels 7 and 8 are then folded down so that the top edges 7b and 8b thereof abut continuous edges 7a - 5a and 6a - 8a.
iv) a seam is sewn along the bottom edges of the folded material, from the outside of one foot around that foot, up the inseam of that leg to the crotch, down the inseam of the other leg, around the foot, ending on the outside of that foot. If there is a gusset provided (and this is not absolutely necessary, but it is desirable), then on a portion of the inseam of one leg, there will be three layers of material - the back panel, the gusset, and the front panel. In this area, which extends from the crotch down the leg, usually about two-thirds o the way, only the back and gusset panels are sewn together, so the front of the garment which is open, will extend down one leg. In this way, an infant can be clothed easier - with the gusset maintaining strength around the perimeter of the legs;
. !
,,~ ' . ' , ' ~28~39~
v) the sleeves are joined together by sewing top edges 7b and 8b of the sleeve panels to continuous edges 5a - 7a and 6a - 8a in a pair of lateral seams, each extending from the wrist end of a sleeve along the underside of a sleeve to the underarm area of the garment, and then across the front of the garment in a lateral seam across the ches~, ending at the open front of the garment.
Clearly, steps (iv) and (v) may be e~ecuted in reverse order, if desired.
vi) cuffs 12, a neck-band 11 and closures 13 are applied, the closures 13 which can be used include all conventional forms, such as snaps, buttons, zip fasteners and hook/pile fasteners (such as VELCRO~).
As can be observed from Figure 2a, the front of the ~arment is, in fact, formed partly by the front side panels 5 and 6, and partially formed by the upper halves of the sleeve panel.
Referring -to Figures 3 and 3a, it will be seen that the present invention may be applied to a two-piece pattern, by simply dividing the pattern in two, either longitudinally as shown by line 14, or laterally as shown by line 15. The material is, in such a case, cut as two pieces,~whlch may be of different colours, so that the first sewing step of the manufacturing process will be to sew the two pieces of material together into one piece.

Referring to Figures 4 and 4a, a further varient is a three piece pattern, the three pieces being the large unitary back panel-front panels-sleeve panels piece, and two truncated wedge shaped pieces 16, which form the top-most and inner-most part of the sleeve panels. In the finished garment, as can be seen from Figure 3a, these pieces 16 form the upper-front of the garment.
In manufacturing the garment of Figure 4a, the difference from the method taught above using Figure 2a as a model garment is that after the pieces of the garment are cut, the first sewing step will be to attach pieces 16 to sleeve panels 7 and 8 by a pair of seams 16a to obtain the one-piece material "blank" on which the manufacturing method of the present invention can be carried out. It will be seen that seams 16a extend, in the finished garment, from the neck-band to the underarm, on both sides of the front of the garment. Panels 16 may be a different colour than the remainder of the garment.
It will also be seen, from Figure 4, that the slits separating the sleeve panels 7 and 8 from the front side panels 5 ~0 and 6 may be quite wide. This design is used when it is desired to use a fabric with limited or no stretch, because, as can be seen from Figure 4a, a fuller sleeve is obtained with this arrangement.

Referring to Figures 5 and 5a, it will be seen that a different three-piece pattern than that taught above is possible by cutting each sleeve panel as a separate, possibly different coloured, piece. Again, the first sewing step will be to sew the sleeve panels 7 and 8 to the main part of the material, along a pair of seams, 17, which extend diagonally from the underarm area of the sleeves to the neck-band, in the back of the garment.
Referri?llg back to Figure ~, if the pattern is cut at the ~ dot and dash line 18, the upper part of the pattern will be a one-piece shirt pattern. This modification may be applied to any of the embodiments illustrated.

Referring next to Figures 2 and 2a, a one-piece pattern according to the present invention is illustrated in Figure 2.
The various panels which make up the pattern are delineated by dotted lines, and include:
Back panel 4 front left side panel 5 front right side panel 6 left sleeve panel 7 right sleeve panel 8 gusset panel 9 A head-hole 10 is provided near the junction of the sleeve 7 and 8 and back 4 panels. A conventional neck-band 11 and cuffs 12 are sewn into the head-hole at the appropriate time.
The pa-ttern of Figure 2 is preferably cut from one-way stretch terry cloth, with the direction of stretch oriented length-wise on the pattern (i.e. from head to toe). This point should be borne in mind when using a stretch fabric in the method of the present invention, because it has been found that if a two-way stretch fabric is used, or if the stretch on a one-way : .

The lowest edges 7a, 8a of the sleeve panels 7, 8 are separated from the uppermost edges 5a, 6a of the front panels by a slit. The upper edges 7b, 8b of the sleeve panels 7, 8 are straight, and are twice as long as the lower edges 7a and 8a thereof. Accordingly, when right and left front panels 5,6 are folded over onto back panel 4 during the manufacture of the garment of the present invention, edges 5a and 7a will extend as one continuous edge. Also, edges 6a and 8a will extend as one continuous edge. Moreover, these two continuous edges will lie opposite the top edges 7b and 8b. Fuxther, it will be seen that gusset panel 9, which extends off one of the front side panels (illustrated as extending off left panel 6, but may extend from the right panel) so that when the front side panels 6, 5 are folded over onto the back panel 4, gusset panel 9 will be aligned with the inside edge of the back panel of the opposite leg.
With the above description of a one-piece pattern of the present invention in mind, the manufacturing method of the present invention may be summarized as follows:

As can be observed from Figure 2a, the front of the ~arment is, in fact, formed partly by the front side panels 5 and 6, and partially formed by the upper halves of the sleeve panel.
Referring -to Figures 3 and 3a, it will be seen that the present invention may be applied to a two-piece pattern, by simply dividing the pattern in two, either longitudinally as shown by line 14, or laterally as shown by line 15. The material is, in such a case, cut as two pieces,~whlch may be of different colours, so that the first sewing step of the manufacturing process will be to sew the two pieces of material together into one piece.

Referring to Figures 4 and 4a, a further varient is a three piece pattern, the three pieces being the large unitary back panel-front panels-sleeve panels piece, and two truncated wedge shaped pieces 16, which form the top-most and inner-most part of the sleeve panels. In the finished garment, as can be seen from Figure 3a, these pieces 16 form the upper-front of the garment.
In manufacturing the garment of Figure 4a, the difference from the method taught above using Figure 2a as a model garment is that after the pieces of the garment are cut, the first sewing step will be to attach pieces 16 to sleeve panels 7 and 8 by a pair of seams 16a to obtain the one-piece material "blank" on which the manufacturing method of the present invention can be carried out. It will be seen that seams 16a extend, in the finished garment, from the neck-band to the underarm, on both sides of the front of the garment. Panels 16 may be a different colour than the remainder of the garment.
It will also be seen, from Figure 4, that the slits separating the sleeve panels 7 and 8 from the front side panels 5 ~0 and 6 may be quite wide. This design is used when it is desired to use a fabric with limited or no stretch, because, as can be seen from Figure 4a, a fuller sleeve is obtained with this arrangement.
