Abstract
With recent environmental problem, water treatable apparel materials and their sewing technology have been
developing actively. Beside of responding to the consumer view and our studentsf education, the aim of this study is to
consider some basic characteristics of the water treatable apparel materials.First, I prepared two kinds of water
treatable apparel materials and one conventional dry cleanable apparel material for dry cleaning. Next to the apparel
materials, I decide to test them with two kinds of water treatable fusible interlinings, two laundry methods (dry cleaning
and home laundry) and two kinds of press processing (pressed and without press). Each apparel material and fusible
interlinings were laundered after adhering of the fusible interlinings to the apparel material. After adhering, laundering
and press process, the characteristics of each material were estimated by measuring the dimensional change rate, surface
observation, adhesion test and nine kinds of feeling characteristics.
As a result, I found out that the effect of laundering on characteristics of conventional apparel material (with and
without water treatable fusible interlining materials) was remarkable. On the contrary, water treatable apparel
material (with and without water treatable fusible interlining materials) does not show a significant change after
laundering. From the results, beside of concluding that the water treatable materials were enough stable in laundering
process, I could obtain a suitable material to teach to my students.
