Knitted T-shirt (Front & Back)

Fabric Consumption for Knitted T-shirt:These are some basic function to make consumption of a knitted t-shirt, such as-1. Fabric type and weight (Single jersey 145 GSM)2. Basic measurement (1/2 Chest, Back length and sleeve length)3. Sewing allowance4. Wastage (Cutting and Sewing- 10%, 15% etc.)Suppose, Length = 70 cm Chest = 60 cm/dia Sleeve length = 25 cm Arm hole width = 40 cm GSM = 145Formula =

=[( Back length + Sleeve length) Chest 2GSM12] / 10000000

= [{(70 + 5) + (25 + 5)} 60 214512] / 10000000

= 2.28 kg + 7 %

= 2.28 kg + 0.159

= 2.439 kg/doz [Neck and sleeve are made rib so add 0.10]- See more at: http://textilecalculation.blogspot.com/2014/11/knit-fabric-consumption-formula.html#sthash.a8eizqWb.ZXk2vJfA.dpuf
