Question

Name some modern fabrics formed by unstitched pieces of fabric.

Answer 1

Hint: As per the given question, it is being said that the examples should be given considering unstitched fabrics. So, consider unstitched means those fabrics that are draped then belted or pinned into place on the human body rather than cut and stitched into shape.

Complete step by step solution:
Fibres are thin, long, flexible and hair or thread-like structures. The fibres are usually obtained from two main sources—plants and animals. These fibres are otherwise called as the natural fibres. Cotton, silk, wool, etc. are some of the examples of the natural fibres. Apart from the natural fibres, there are synthetic fibres (also called man-made fibres) which are generally artificially synthesized by humans with the help of machines and technologies in the textile industries. Rayon, nylon, etc. are some of the examples of man-made fibres. So, there are two types of fibre i.e. natural and synthetic fibres.
Now, let us know what does fabric mean?
Fabrics are defined as the clothing material, which is made by weaving or knitting threads and is obtained from the yarn (yarn is made from tiny thread-like fibres by twisting). The quality of fabric depends upon the type of fibre used for the treatment used on it. Rayon, satin, denim, cotton voile are some of the different types of fabrics.
So, in the given question it is being asked to give some examples of modern fabrics which are prepared from the unstitched fabrics. So, assuming unstitched means the fabric is draped as it is and is belted or pinned on the human body rather than cut and stitched into different shapes.

Hence, some of the modern fabrics formed by unstitched pieces of fabric are saree, dhoti, lungi and turban.

Note: Remember, fibre is considered as the unit of clothing in textile industries. From fibre, yarn is made by twisting and turning and then fabric is extracted from the yarn by weaving and knitting with the help of machines or by manually. The construction of fabric includes several steps starting from extracting fibre from either natural or artificial sources. Most of the fabrics are further given extra touch to make it attractive.
