PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To surely separate fabric parts from the upper face of a fabric mass one by one and to automatically feed it to the next step process even for a hardly handled fabric such as a thin fabric, a flexible fabric and a fabric formed of a piled fabric. SOLUTION: An automatic feeding apparatus for the fabric parts is provided with fabric mass P holders 3 arranged on a plurality of positions on the surroundings of the fabric mass P and fixing and holding the peripheral face of the fabric mass P, a fabric catching tool 4 for catching fabric parts P1 positioned on the uppermost face of the fabric mass P and separating the fabric parts P1 caught by the fabric catching tool 4 against a fixing and holding force of the fabric mass holder 3, and a carrying mechanism for carrying the fabric parts P1 caught by the fabric catching tool 4 with the fabric catching tool 4 to the next step process. The fabric mass holder 3 comprises a suction nozzle 7 being brought into contact with the peripheral face of the fabric mass P, and a negative pressure feeding source 8 for feeding a negative pressure to the suction nozzle 7, and sucks and holds the fabric mass P by a negative pressure force acting on a suction hole 12 of the suction nozzle 7.
