SISAL FIBRE SPINNING
Highlight of the article:Sisal fiber obtained from the plant Agave Sisalana, yields a stifffibre, traditionally used in making twine, rope and also dartboards. Today Brazil is major world producer of sisal.The first commercial plantings in Brazil were made in late 1930’s and the first sisal fibre exports from there were made in 1946. Sisal plants consists of a rosette of sword-shaped leaves about 1.5 to 2 meters long.Young leaves may have a few minute thin along their margins, but lose them as they mature. The sisal plant has a 7-10 years life time and typically produces 200-250 commercially usable leaves. Traditionally, sisal has been the leading material for agricultural twin (binder twin and baler twin) because of its strength, durability to stretches, affinity for certain dyestuffs, and resistance to deteriorstion in salt water.But the importance of this traditional use is diminishing with competition from polypropylene and the development of other haymaking techniques, while new higher-valued sisal has been developed.

ZERO-WASTE PATTERN CUTTING: ELIMINATING PRE-CONSUMER FABRIC WASTE IN THE PATTERN CUTTING ROOM
Abstract With the growing acceptance of the ideal of sustainability, a paradigm shift is occurring in the field of fashion. With consumer tastes now being inspired by ideas of the upcycling, circular design, and slow fashion, many designers are being compelled by circumstances to reduce the carbon footprint left behind by the fashion industry. These endeavors are primarily targeted towards reducing waste generated during the garment manufacturing phase. Regrettably, these efforts are not being intelligently directed at preventing wastage at the designing and cutting stage itself. Conformist manufacturing methods such as the “Cut and Sew Method” that have been in practice for over 500 years now, generally yield up to 85 percent of fabric consumption efficiency. Consequently, 15 percent of fabric wastage occurs in the cutting room itself. This wastage is leaving behind a “significant ecological footprint”. Unconventional and eccentric pattern-making methods such as subtraction method, geo-cut method and A-POC have now gained popularity; conversely, zero-waste pattern cutting (ZWPC) as a concept has not been extensively used or proliferated yet. To comprehend the unpopularity of ZWPC, a thorough understanding of the concept and its benefits and drawbacks were studied through an extensive review of research work and projects undertaken and executed by experts and novices in the field of ZWPC. It was found that there are limited challenges faced in adopting the concept and it can be widely implemented to resolve the problematic disposal, reuse or recycling of fabric wastage.

The sheer amount of diversity and influences that designers can draw from every region is immense, and no other country can come close to it. 1With the world communities coming closer, the influence of Indian culture and heritage on international fashion is only growing. Indian fashion designers have contributed a lot in the international fashion arena with their incomparable weaves, embroideries, fabrics and designs by bringing together their vast expertise, creativity and innovation. In this paper attempt has been made to discuss the application of Indian traditional accessories, draping styles, to create western silhouettes. The headgears used in ancient India footwear’s like jutties and mojdi Indian maangtika and various embellishment used in bridal jewelries are kept as an inspiration by international designers to make a fusion in the fashion world.
