The inspected fabric is placed on the cutting table in layers and then the different parts of the respective garments are demarked by a chalk as per different sizes. Cutting of fabric layer is carried out by fabric cutting machine in order to have accurate dimensions.Stitching of whole garment is carried out by the skilled workers with the help of overlock, sewing machines etc.

3. Washing, Checking, Pressing and Packing
Garments obtained from the sewing section will normally have some dirt/ stains which are to be eliminated by treating them with mild soap solution in garment washing machine. Excess water is to be removed from the garments by charging in hydro-extractor and dried in garments drying tumbler.

Final checking is done by placing individual pieces on the checking table so that any fault and protruding thread in the piece may be removed. The individual pieces are pressed by pressing man to remove the wrinkle marks in the piece and packed in the paper board boxes specifically available for the purpose.
