A machine for manufacturing low-cost garments out of two plies of web material (W-1, W-2), preferably nonwoven material. It includes a pair of feeder mechanisms to supply two separate sheets of the web material through cutter mechanisms (D-1, A-1; D-2, A-2) where the webs are cut into shapes (6, 8) suitable for the desired garment. The shapes of the first sheet (6) are larger than the shapes of the second sheet (8). The first sheet is placed on a carrier (1), and the second sheet is placed on the first sheet. As the combined sheets are moved by the carrier, a plurality of folding mechanisms (24A-24M) turns the edges of the first sheet around the edges of the second sheet to create a seam which is subsequently secured, as by adhesives or sewing. The carrier may be either a rotating cylinder or it may move longitudinally. The seams may be created along machine direction lines, cross machine direction lines, or along lines at acute angles to either the direction of movement or perpendicular thereto. |
