A sewn product is typically defined as “a textile part or cut parts that are assembled using a sewing machine”. The textiles can be unique to your specific industry and the type of machinery used for assembly can be just as unique with today’s innovative construction methods. Machinery has evolved from using thread in the sewn assembly process to using methods such as “ultra-sonic welding”.
There are hundreds of sewn product industries that are commonly associated with the Fashion and Apparel industry, yet there are hundreds more categories to consider under that umbrella.
From women’s, men’s and children’s clothing and sub-categories encompassing everything from back packs and accessories to safety vests and medical gear. There is almost no end to the amount of problems people encounter on a daily basis that could be solved with a sewn product.
Take for example the Home Décor industry where you can find draperies, pillow covers, sheets, bedspreads and upholstery along with table top and kitchen products like tablecloths, aprons and dish towels.
The Medical Industry is a fast growing industry where you’ll find uniforms, gowns, wearable technology, leg braces, slings, shoulder therapy pads and many more sewn products to improve our lives.
The point here being that your sewn product ideas do not have to be solely defined by apparel or fashion. Sometimes creating one amazing sewn product that solves a huge problem can be a good business model.
