Normally, a woven bottom consists with the following parts-
1.Body parts,
2.Pocket,
3.Pocketing Fabrics,
4.Belt Loop.
Suppose,
 The Buyer “Nautica” forwards a “Woven Denim Bottom” item order (10000pcs) to you with the following specification.
Follow the below measurement chart.
Now, calculate the required fabric consumption for the above order.
Solution:
Fabric consumption for the woven bottom will be discussed in the below in part by part:
Let,
 Fabric width- 56”
(Here, the given fabric width is 56”, during sewing, we cannot use the edge of a fabric. So, all time we must exclude 1” from the given fabric width. So, now the fabric width is 56-1 = 55”)
Wastage- 10%
(Normally, we add 10% wastage for the regular denim fabric but in case of Spandex fabric, it goes up-to 25%)
During calculating the fabric consumption of woven fabric, all time we will use the following formula,
During calculating the fabric consumption of woven fabric, all time we will use the following formula,


1. Fabric consumption for the Body Parts:
Here, we will apply the following formula (Per dozen),


body length x body width x no of parts x 12
------------------------------------------------
fabric width x 36


per dozon



 Now,
Body Width,
 = 1/2 Thigh with sewing allowance
 = 20
Now, from equation (A), we get-
ma
 = 22.30yds per dozen………………………………………………… (B)
So, fabrics needed for the body parts is 22.30yds per dozen.

 


2. Fabric consumption for the Back Pocket (2pcs):
Here, we will apply the following formula (Per dozen),
= 1.36yds per dozen………………………………………………………………..(C)
So, fabrics needed for the back pocket is 1.36yds per dozen.
3. Fabric consumption for the Pocket Bag (2pcs):
Here, we will apply the following formula (Per dozen),
= 2.72yds per dozen……………………………………………… (D)
So, fabrics needed for the pocket bag is 2.72yds per dozen.
4. Fabric consumption for the Belt Loop (5pcs):
Here, we will apply the following formula (Per dozen),
= 0.12yds per dozen……………………………………………. (E)
So, fabrics needed for the belt loop is 0.12yds per dozen.
Now,
By adding the equation B, C, D and E we can get the total fabrics consumption for the above order (per dozen)-
 = (B +C + D + E) yds per dozen
 = (22.30 + 1.36 + 2.72 + 0.12) yds per dozen.
 = 26.5yds per dozen.
So, total fabric consumption for the above order is 26.5yds per dozen.
And,
Total fabrics consumption for 10000pcs (833.33dozen) garments is (26.5 × 833.33) = 22083.25yds per dozen
