  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. Note that the drawings are for easy understanding of the description, and are not necessarily drawn according to the actual dimensional ratio.

  In FIG. 1, the typical top view of the fabric 1 by one form of this invention is shown. In this specification, fabric (also referred to as cloth or textile) refers to a planar or plate-like structure used for clothing, daily necessities, decorations, furniture, building interiors, etc., and is a uniform material throughout the entire structure. As well as those produced by combining the same or different materials. As shown in FIG. 1, the fabric of this embodiment is a composite in which a plurality of fabric materials (cloth pieces) having a predetermined shape are combined and combined according to an arrangement based on a predetermined rule.

  A fabric 1 shown in FIG. 1 includes a first fabric piece group 110 including a plurality of fabric pieces 111, 112,... Extending in the vertical direction of the drawing, and is laminated on the first fabric piece group 110 and extends in the horizontal direction of the drawing. And a second cloth piece group 120 including a plurality of cloth pieces 121, 122,.

  For both the first cloth piece group 110 and the second cloth piece group 120, the cloth pieces used are not particularly limited as long as they can form a cloth of a predetermined size by being combined. Examples of the fabric piece include woven fabric (including fabric), knitted fabric (including knit and lace), non-woven fabric (including felt), leather, synthetic leather, and paper. A porous or non-porous resin sheet, tape, string, or the like can also be used. When the fabric piece mainly includes fibers, the fibers include natural fibers such as cotton, silk, hemp and wool, synthetic fibers such as polyester, nylon and acrylic, regenerated fibers such as rayon and cupra, semi-synthetic fibers such as acetate, It may be inorganic fibers such as carbon and metal, and combinations thereof (including mixed spinning and mixed weaving).

  As the cloth piece, a decorative fiber product can also be used, for example, a decorative string, a decorative cloth, a ribbon (a narrow band-shaped fabric used as a decoration or a handicraft material for hats, hair, clothes, gifts, etc.), a border decoration A tape or the like can be used. Also included are those manufactured by tying strings and those that have been processed such as gathering. The cloth piece may be decorated with embroidery, sequins, beads, lamé, buttons, and the like. Furthermore, a cloth piece that is partially or entirely transparent or translucent, or a cloth piece made of a transparent material with a small density of contained fibers may be used. The cloth piece may have a smooth surface or may have irregularities on the surface. Further, a stretchable material such as rubber may be used. Furthermore, the cloth piece which two or more different cloth pieces among the above-mentioned cloth pieces are laminated | stacked or juxtaposed and joined together can also be used. As the cloth piece, various tapes manufactured by SHINDO Co., Ltd. can be used.

  Each of the cloth pieces of the first cloth piece group 110 and the cloth pieces of the second cloth piece group 120 has a strip shape. In the present specification, the band shape refers to a shape (also referred to as a tape shape or a band shape) that is flat and elongated and has a length larger than the width. The width of the strip-shaped cloth piece used may be constant from one end to the other end. Moreover, the width | variety of the cloth piece may become large or small gradually from one edge part to the other edge part, and the fluctuation | variation of the magnitude | size of the width may be repeated by the place. Moreover, fine irregularities such as frills and notches may be provided on the long edge of the belt-shaped cloth piece (the edge extending in the longitudinal direction of the cloth piece).

  In the form of FIG. 1, the widths of the cloth pieces 111, 112,... Of the first cloth piece group 110 are almost constant. Thereby, the fabric which gives the orderly impression can be formed. Note that the substantially constant width does not necessarily indicate a strict constant, but may include a fluctuation of ± 15%, preferably a fluctuation of ± 5%.

  The width of the strip-shaped cloth piece is preferably 2 to 80 mm and more preferably 5 to 50 mm for both the first cloth piece group 110 and the second cloth piece group 120. By keeping the width of the cloth pieces in the above range, while maintaining the unique appearance of the cloth 1 of this embodiment obtained by laminating the first cloth piece group 110 and the second cloth piece group 120, It is possible to ensure the form and strength.

  Further, the width of the cloth pieces of the first cloth piece group 110 may be larger than the width of the cloth pieces of the second cloth piece group 120. That is, the width of the narrowest cloth piece among the cloth pieces of the first cloth piece group 110 may be larger than the width of the widest cloth piece among the cloth pieces of the second cloth piece group 120. In that case, the width of the narrowest cloth piece among the cloth pieces of the first cloth piece group 110 is 1.05 to 6 of the width of the widest cloth piece among the cloth pieces of the second cloth piece group 120. Can be doubled, and can be 1.5 to 3 times.

  The thickness of the cloth piece may be 0.05 to 6 mm, preferably 0.1 to 4 mm, and more preferably 0.3 to 2 mm. By setting the thickness of the cloth pieces within the above range, a configuration including the first cloth piece group 110 and the second cloth piece group 120 can be easily formed, and the form and strength as a cloth are ensured. can do.

  In this embodiment, the same kind of cloth pieces 110, 112, 113,... Included in the first cloth piece group 110 are used, but a plurality of cloth pieces included in the first cloth piece group 10 are used. May be different from one another, i.e. may have different materials, widths, thicknesses and / or designs. Similarly, in this embodiment, the plurality of cloth pieces 110, 112, 113,... Included in the second cloth piece group 20 are the same type, but the plurality of cloth pieces included in the second cloth piece group 20 are also mutually connected. Can be different.

  Moreover, although the number of the cloth pieces contained in the 1st cloth piece group 110 is 5 in this form, the number of the cloth pieces of the 1st cloth piece group 110 is not restricted to this. In addition, three cloth pieces 121 to 123 are illustrated as cloth pieces of the second cloth piece group 120. However, the fabric 1 has a long form extending on an extension line in the longitudinal direction L1 of the fabric pieces of the first fabric piece group 110. In correspondence with the extension of the fabric 1, A plurality of cloth pieces of the second cloth piece group 120 may be further arranged on an extension line in the longitudinal direction L1 of the cloth pieces 111, 112, 113,. In addition, the number of the cloth pieces of the second cloth piece group 120 is not particularly limited.

  In FIG. 1, the cloth pieces 111, 112, 113,... Of the first cloth piece group 110 are juxtaposed, that is, the long edges (long edges) of the cloth pieces are the long edges of the adjacent cloth pieces. It is arranged side by side so as to face the part. Specifically, in the fabric 1, the long edge portion 111A of the cloth piece 111 and the long edge portion 112A of the cloth piece 112 are arranged to face each other, and the long edge portion 112A of the cloth piece 112 and the cloth adjacent thereto are arranged. The long edge part of the piece 113 is similarly arranged.

  Further, in this embodiment, the long edge portions 111A, 112A,... Of the cloth pieces 111, 112,... Of the first cloth piece group 110 are arranged so as to abut each other and come into contact with each other. The edge portions 111A, 112A, ... of the cloth pieces 111, 112, ... of the piece group 110 may be slightly overlapped with each other. For example, the edge 111A of the cloth piece 111 and the edge 112A of the cloth piece 112 may be overlapped. In that case, it is preferable that the overlap margin of the adjacent cloth pieces of the first cloth piece group 110 is about 0.5 to 3 mm.

  Moreover, the cloth pieces 111, 112, 113,... Of the first cloth piece group 110 may be partly or entirely spaced from each other. For example, the interval between the cloth pieces 111, 112, 113,... Of the first cloth piece group 110 may be about 0.5 to 5 mm. Depending on the use of the fabric and the desired design, the fabric pieces 111, 112, 113,... Of the first fabric piece group 110 may be arranged in parallel with each other and arranged at an angle to each other. It may be. Further, by using cloth pieces having a design with varying widths, adjacent cloth pieces of the first cloth piece group 110 are partially separated from each other, and an opening is formed in the cloth 1. You can also.

  In this embodiment, the cloth pieces 121, 122, 123,... Of the second cloth piece group 120 are juxtaposed apart from each other, that is, the long edge portions of the cloth pieces are the long edge portions of the adjacent cloth pieces. Are arranged side by side so as to face each other. Specifically, the long edge part 121A of the cloth piece 121 and the long edge part 122A of the cloth piece 122 are arranged so as to face each other, and the long edge part 122A of the cloth piece 122 and the length of the cloth piece 123 adjacent thereto are arranged. The edges are similarly arranged.

  In this embodiment, the cloth pieces 121, 122, 123,... Of the second cloth piece group 120 are juxtaposed substantially in parallel to each other, that is, the cloth pieces 121, 122, 123 of the second cloth piece group 120. The longitudinal center lines are substantially parallel to each other. In the present specification, “substantially parallel” does not necessarily indicate strict parallelism, but may include forming an angle of ± 10 °, and preferably forming an angle of ± 5 °.

  However, the cloth pieces 121, 122, 123,... Of the second cloth piece group 120 are not necessarily arranged substantially in parallel. For example, the longitudinal center lines of the cloth pieces 121, 122, 123,... Of the second cloth piece group 120 may be arranged so as to partially overlap each other at a predetermined angle.

  Moreover, although the cloth pieces 121, 122, 123,... Of the second cloth piece group 120 are arranged at equal intervals, the arrangement may not be equal. For example, according to the use of the fabric 1, the desired design, or the width and material of each fabric piece of the second fabric piece group 120, the intervals between the fabric pieces 121, 122, 123,. May be. The distance between the cloth pieces 121, 122, 123,... Of the second cloth piece group 120 (the distance between the long edge portion of the cloth piece and the long edge portion of the adjacent cloth piece) is the same as that of the second cloth piece group 120. It is preferably larger than the width of the cloth pieces, and can be 1.05 to 6 times the width of the cloth pieces of the second cloth piece group 120, and can be 1.5 to 5 times. Moreover, this space | interval is preferable in it being 10-80 mm, and it is more preferable in it being 20-50 mm.

  In the form of FIG. 1, cloth pieces are not randomly (randomly) arranged, but two cloth piece groups, a first cloth piece group 110, and a second cloth piece group 120, which are juxtaposed, are laminated. It is juxtaposed under the restriction of allowing Therefore, the regularity by this juxtaposition can produce unique and orderly beauty. However, depending on the use of the fabric and the desired design, a region in which the fabric pieces are arranged at random to some extent may be partially formed in the entire fabric 1.

  The longitudinal direction L1 of the cloth pieces 111, 112, 113, ... of the first cloth piece group 110 and the longitudinal direction L2 of the cloth pieces 121, 122, 123, ... of the second cloth piece group 120 intersect. . In this embodiment, the cloth pieces 111, 112, 113,... Of the first cloth piece group 110 are parallel to each other, and the cloth pieces have a common longitudinal direction L1. Similarly, the cloth pieces 121, 122, 123,... Of the second cloth piece group 120 are parallel to each other, and the cloth pieces have a common longitudinal direction L2.

  In this embodiment, the longitudinal direction L1 of the cloth pieces 111, 112, 113,... Of the first cloth piece group 110 and the longitudinal direction L2 of the cloth pieces 121, 122, 123,. They are almost orthogonal to each other. Here, “substantially orthogonal to each other” does not necessarily mean strictly orthogonal, but may include forming an angle of ± 10 °, preferably forming an angle of ± 5 °. However, the cloth pieces of the first cloth piece group 110 and the cloth pieces of the second cloth piece group 120 do not have to be arranged substantially orthogonally. The angle θ formed by the longitudinal direction L1 of the cloth pieces of the first cloth piece group 110 and the longitudinal direction L2 of the cloth pieces of the second cloth piece group 120 may be 30 to 150 °, may be 45 to 135 °, Or it can be set to 60-120 degrees.

  In this embodiment, the strip-shaped cloth pieces 111, 112, 113,... Of the first cloth piece group 110 and the cloth pieces 121, 122, 123,. It extends continuously from one end to the other end, that is, one strip-shaped cloth piece extends from one end of the fabric 1 to the other end without interruption. However, the strip-shaped cloth pieces 111, 112, 113,... Of the first cloth piece group 110 may be interrupted. In that case, the same or different cloth pieces may be connected to each other by stitching, adhesive, or the like at the short edge portion of the cloth pieces to constitute one cloth piece. In addition, the cloth pieces of the first cloth piece group 110 and the cloth pieces of the second cloth piece group 120 may be twisted and turned side by side at one or a plurality of locations.

  In this embodiment, the laminated first cloth piece group 110 and the second cloth piece group 120 are connected to each other by the sewing thread 150, that is, the cloth pieces 111, 112 of the first cloth piece group 110, 113 and the cloth pieces 121, 122, 123, ... of the second cloth piece group 120 are coupled to each other. Thereby, the cloth pieces of the first cloth piece group 110 are joined to each other, and the cloth pieces of the second cloth piece group 120 are also joined to each other, so that one sheet-like structure (fabric 1) is formed. Is formed.

  In other words, the plurality of strip-shaped cloth pieces 111, 112, 113,... Of the first cloth piece group 110 are separated from the cloth pieces 121, 122, 123 of the second cloth piece group 120 by the stitches by the sewing thread 150. , ... are connected through. As shown in FIG. 1, the edge of the cloth piece of the first cloth piece group 110 and the edge of the cloth piece adjacent thereto are not joined by stitching or bonding along the edge. For example, between the edge portion 111A of the cloth piece 111 and the edge portion 112A of the cloth piece 112, there is a joined portion and a non-joined portion, and the edge portion 111A of the cloth piece 111 is fixed. There is a free edge portion 111a and an unfixed free edge portion 111b.

  In the form of FIG. 1, the sewing thread 150 is a stitch that is orthogonal to the edge portion 111 </ b> A of the cloth piece 111, so that the fixed edge portion 111 a is substantially punctiform. When the edge of the cloth piece is fixed over a given length, the fixed edge portion 111a may have a predetermined length.

  Even when the cloth piece 112 adjacent to the cloth piece 111 moves, the free edge portion 111b is not easily affected by the movement and can move relatively independently. Therefore, when movement is given to the entire fabric 1 of this embodiment (when the fabric 1 is folded, bent or twisted), the free edge portions 111b, 112b,. Change direction or bend (bend). As a result, there is a step between the free edge portion 111b of the cloth piece 111 and the free edge portion 112b of the cloth piece 112 adjacent thereto, a gap is formed in the cloth, or these free edge portions. The portions 111b and 112b may overlap each other. Such steps, gaps, overlaps, etc. give rise to a unique three-dimensional effect and can give a special impression not found in conventional fabrics. For example, in the presence of light (including natural light and light from artificial lighting), a specific shadow can be generated on the surface of the fabric 1. Such a movement of the fabric can be observed particularly prominently when a product such as clothes is manufactured from the fabric 1 and a person moves the body while wearing the clothes.

  In the first fabric group 110 under the fabric 1, the length of the free edge portions 111b, 112b,... Is 2 to 100 mm, depending on the use of the fabric 1 and the desired design. Can be 5 to 70 mm.

  In this embodiment, the edge portions 121A, 122A,... Of the cloth pieces 121, 122,... Of the second cloth piece group 120 also have unfixed free edge portions 121b, 122b,. In the case of this embodiment, the edge portions 121A, 122A,... Of the cloth pieces 121, 122,... Of the second cloth piece group 120 do not have the fixed edge portions. The edge portions 121A, 122A,... Of the cloth pieces 121, 122,... Of the group 120 are free edge portions 121b, 122b,. However, depending on the configuration of the sewing thread 150, the edge portions 211A, 212A,... Of the cloth pieces 211, 212,. In that case, the edge part of the cloth piece of the second cloth piece group 120 has a plurality of free edge parts. The cloth pieces of the second cloth piece group 120 can give a specific shadow to the surface of the cloth 1 like the free edge portions 111b, 112b, ... of the cloth pieces of the first cloth piece group 110. Since it is possible, a special impression can be given to those who saw the fabric 1.

  Moreover, since this form has the structure which joined the laminated body of the 1st cloth piece group 120 and the 2nd cloth piece group 120 with the sewing thread, the 2nd cloth piece group of the upper layer of the fabric 1 is used. 210 plays the role which couple | bonds the cloth pieces of the 1st cloth piece group 110 mutually, without being knitted or woven in the inside or the back side of the cloth 1. Therefore, for example, as in a configuration in which vertical and horizontal cloth pieces are woven, the second cloth piece group 210 in the upper layer is not hidden from the surface, so that the cloth pieces of the second cloth piece group 210 are arranged in an orderly manner. The fabric 1 can be given an impression. Moreover, according to selection of the cloth piece of the 2nd cloth piece group 210 arrange | positioned on the outermost surface of the cloth 1, the design of the cloth 1 can be changed novelly.

  Furthermore, in the fabric 1 of this embodiment, the fabric piece constituting the fabric 1 has free edge portions at each edge, and these free edge portions can move relatively freely. However, it is very different from fabrics made from woven fabric pieces. Such a configuration of the present embodiment is greatly different from that in which a fabric piece is additionally attached to a fabric or the like for decoration.

  In FIG. 1, the sewing thread 150 is sewn linearly in the left-right direction of the drawing, that is, parallel to the longitudinal direction L2 of the cloth pieces 121, 122, 123,... Of the second cloth piece group 120. The stitches or stitches (stitches) formed by the sewing thread 150 are not particularly limited as long as the cloth pieces of the first cloth piece group 110 and the cloth pieces of the second cloth piece group 120 can be combined. It may be any stitch including running stitches, back stitches, cross stitches, chain stitches, blanket stitches, French knot stitches and the like.

  Further, embroidery may be formed by the sewing thread 150. Embroidery can be formed by hand-sewing or by a sewing machine (main sewing machine) or an embroidery machine (embroidery machine), but is preferably formed by using an embroidery machine. Examples of the embroidery machine include various embroidery machines manufactured by Tajima Industries Co., Ltd.

  The embroidery includes so-called jacquard embroidery, Sagara embroidery, Japanese embroidery, and the like. As described later, embroidery is a tape code embroidery or handle embroidery (tape embroidery, code embroidery, zigzag stitching, winding stitch, etc.) that is sewn onto the fabric surface while supplying a tape-like or cord-like material. Or a decoration such as a sequin, a bead, a lame, a button, an applique, or a patch. Also included are 3D embroidery and hollow three-dimensional embroidery using a foam material such as urethane.

  When embroidery is provided on the laminate of the first cloth piece group 110 and the second cloth piece group 120, the embroidery may be applied from the first cloth piece group 110 side, It may be given from the second cloth piece group 120 side.

  Hereinafter, still another embodiment of the present invention (fabric and fabric manufacturing method) will be described. Unless otherwise noted, the configuration of the fabric piece (type, size, arrangement, etc.) and the configuration of the sewing thread (type, seam) The generation method is the same as in the embodiment of FIG.

  FIG. 2 is a plan view schematically showing a fabric 2 according to another embodiment. In this embodiment, the first cloth piece group 210 includes a plurality of different cloth pieces 211, 212, 213,. In this embodiment, these different cloth pieces are repeatedly arranged in a regular order. However, when arranging different fabric pieces side by side, the order in which the fabric pieces are arranged may be irregular depending on the desired design. The second cloth piece group 220 also includes a plurality of different cloth pieces 221, 222, 223,. Different cloth pieces of the second cloth piece group 220 are also repeatedly arranged in a regular order. However, as in the case of the first cloth piece group 120, the order of arranging the cloth pieces is arbitrary and irregularly arranged. You can also

  In this embodiment, unlike the embodiment of FIG. 1, the sewing thread 250 crosses the longitudinal direction of the cloth pieces 221, 222, 223,... Of the second cloth piece group 220, and the first cloth piece group 210. Are sewn so as to intersect with the longitudinal direction of the cloth pieces 211, 212, 213,. The sewing thread 250 forms a continuous rectangular pattern (embroidery). When the pattern is formed by the sewing thread 250 as described above, the design by the pattern of the sewing thread 250 can be added to the cloth 2 in addition to the design by selecting the material of the cloth piece and the arrangement of the cloth pieces. Can have a novel appearance.

  The sewing thread 250 is sewn so as to intersect with the edges 211A, 212A, ... of the cloth pieces 211, 212, ... of the first cloth piece group 210, so that the cloth pieces of the first cloth piece group 210 are The second cloth piece group 220 may have a portion connected through the cloth pieces and a portion directly connected by the sewing thread 250. For example, there is a place where the edge 211 </ b> A of the cloth piece 211 of the first cloth piece group 210 and the edge 212 </ b> A of the adjacent cloth piece 212 are directly coupled by the sewing thread 250. Due to such coupling, the edge portion 211A of the cloth piece 211 has a fixed edge portion 211a and an unfixed edge portion 211b as shown in FIG.

  As in the present embodiment, the cloth 2 is more tightly bonded by having the portions where the edges of the cloth pieces of the first cloth group 210 are directly bonded, so that the strength of the cloth 2 is increased. In addition, a fine and delicate shadow can be generated on the fabric 2.

  Further, the sewing thread 250 is sewn so as to intersect with the edge portion 211A of the cloth piece 211 of the second cloth piece group 210, and the edge of the cloth piece 221 of the second cloth piece group 220. The portions 211A,... Are sewn so as to be directly coupled to the cloth pieces of the first cloth piece group 210. This brings about an impression that the sense of unity between the first cloth piece group 210 and the second cloth piece group 220 is enhanced.

  Further, the cloth pieces of the second cloth piece group 220 have a plurality of free edge portions. For example, as shown in FIG. 2, the edge 221A of the cloth piece 221 has a plurality of free edge portions 221b. The plurality of free edge portions 221b of the cloth pieces of the second cloth piece group 220 are combined with the plurality of free edge portions 211b of the cloth pieces of the first cloth piece group 210. Thus, a finer shadow can be generated in the presence of light.

  As in the embodiment of FIG. 1, in this embodiment, the free edge portions 211 b, 221 b,... That greatly contribute to the unique appearance of the fabric 2 are part of the fabric piece that is an element constituting the fabric 2. Therefore, the fabric 2 is greatly different from, for example, a fabric or the like additionally provided with a piece of cloth for decoration.

  The length of the free edge portion 221b of the second cloth piece group 220, depending on the use of the cloth 2 and the desired design, can be 2 to 100 mm, and 5 to 70 mm. It can be.

Although there is no limitation in the area of the fabric of this form, when a fabric is used for clothes, it can be set as about 0.05-2 m < ² >. Moreover, the number of cloth pieces of the first cloth piece group contained in one piece of cloth can be about 5 to 500, and the number of cloth pieces of the second cloth piece group contained in one piece of cloth. Can be about 2 to 100.

  In addition, as described above, the fabric 2 according to the present embodiment is a composite of cloth pieces without being woven or knitted, so that the design is limited by the structure by being woven or knitted. Absent. Therefore, according to this embodiment, it is possible to provide a fabric that gives a unique appearance and impression not found in conventional fabrics.

  Next, the manufacturing method of the fabric by this form is demonstrated. The fabric manufacturing method according to the present embodiment includes a first juxtaposition step of juxtaposing a first cloth piece group including a plurality of belt-like cloth pieces, and a plurality of belt-like cloth pieces on the first cloth piece group. The second cloth piece groups that are included are spaced apart from each other and juxtaposed so that the longitudinal direction of the cloth pieces included in the first cloth piece group and the longitudinal direction of the cloth pieces included in the second cloth piece group intersect. A second juxtaposition process, and a thread sewing process for obtaining a fabric by performing thread sewing and coupling the first cloth piece group and the second cloth piece group to each other.

  In the first juxtaposition step, a first cloth piece group including a plurality of belt-like cloth pieces is juxtaposed. As described above, the first cloth piece group may be arranged such that the long edge portions thereof are in contact with each other, or may be arranged apart from each other. When the cloth pieces of the first cloth piece group are arranged apart from each other, a cloth having an opening as shown in FIG. 6 can be provided. Further, the cloth pieces of the first cloth piece group may be arranged in parallel with each other, and as shown in FIG. 6, the interval gradually increases from one end of the cloth toward the other end. You may arrange | position so that it may space apart.

  In the second juxtaposition step, the second cloth piece group disposed on the surface side of the cloth is juxtaposed on the first cloth piece group already juxtaposed. In this case, the cloth pieces of the second cloth piece group are arranged so as to be separated from each other and intersect the longitudinal direction of the cloth pieces of the first cloth piece group. When the cloth pieces of the first cloth piece group are arranged in parallel to each other, the cloth pieces of the second cloth piece group are connected to the longitudinal direction of the cloth pieces of the first cloth piece group and the second cloth pieces. It is preferable to arrange so that the longitudinal direction of the cloth pieces of the group is orthogonal.

  Note that the order of the first juxtaposition process and the second juxtaposition process may be reversed. In that case, after the second juxtaposition process, the laminated body composed of the first cloth piece group and the second cloth piece group is turned over to perform the thread sewing process, or from the side where the second cloth piece group is laminated. A thread sewing process can be performed. The thread sewing process may be an embroidery process. The embroidery process can be performed using an embroidery machine as described above.

  Since the laminated body of the first cloth piece group and the second cloth piece group obtained through the first juxtaposition step and the second juxtaposition step is composed of a material called cloth piece, the arrangement is easily collapsed. . Therefore, it is preferable to fix the relative positions of the cloth pieces of the first cloth piece group and / or the second cloth piece group after the second juxtaposition process and before the thread sewing process. For example, the periphery of the laminated body of the first cloth piece group and the second cloth piece group can be fixed in at least two places by an instrument such as a clamp. Or you may fix the whole periphery of the laminated body of a 1st cloth piece group and a 2nd cloth piece group. In that case, a tension | tensile_strength can be applied to the laminated body of a 1st cloth piece group and a 2nd cloth piece group, and a cloth piece can be extended and fixed.

  Moreover, the laminated body of a 1st cloth piece group and a 2nd cloth piece group can be sewed, and the relative arrangement | positioning of a cloth piece can also be fixed. In that case, if a temporary sewing is performed using a soluble sewing thread, after obtaining the cloth, the temporary sewing thread is immersed in a solvent capable of dissolving the temporary sewing thread in the final stage. Since it can melt | dissolve and remove, it is preferable. As a sewing thread for temporary sewing, SOLBRON (registered trademark) manufactured by NICHIBI Co., Ltd. can be used.

  Subsequently, the first cloth piece group and the second cloth piece group, which are fixed in relative positions, are joined to each other in the thread sewing process. Let This thread sewing process may include an embroidery process. In that case, embroidery can be performed by an embroidery machine.

  When an embroidery machine is used in the thread sewing process, the arrangement of the cloth pieces is particularly apt to collapse due to the pressure received from the needle mounted on the embroidery machine, the vibration caused by the power source of the embroidery machine, and the like. Therefore, it is preferable to place and fix the first cloth piece group and the second cloth piece group on the sheet-like planar body. In that case, the first cloth piece group can be juxtaposed after arranging the double-sided tape on at least a part of the periphery of the area corresponding to the cloth to be obtained on the sheet-like body. Thereby, since the edge part of each cloth piece of a 1st cloth piece group is adhere | attached on a sheet-like body, the relative arrangement | positioning of the cloth piece of a 1st cloth piece group is hold | maintained.

  In the case of using a sheet-like body, the manufacturing method includes a step of placing the sheet-like body before the first juxtaposition step, and a step of removing the sheet-like body after the thread sewing step. Become. In that case, after the second juxtaposition step, the above-mentioned temporary sewing thread is used to sew a stack of cloth pieces of the first cloth piece group and the second cloth piece group so as to maintain the mutual arrangement of the cloth pieces. It is preferable to keep

  The sheet-like body and the double-sided tape can be easily removed by immersing the obtained fabric in a solvent capable of dissolving the soluble sheet after the thread sewing step, as in the case of the above-described temporary sewing thread. Therefore, it is preferable.
