Abstract:

The present invention relates to an alternating seam for joining two pieces of stretchable fabric. The alternating seam can be used for making garments, such as pant garments. The alternating seam has a non-inverted seam that extends from a seam inversion point to a desired length below the seam inversion point. Outer sides of the two fabric pieces are in opposing contact with each other along the non-inverted seam. The alternating seam also includes an inverted seam that extends upwardly from the seam inversion point. Inner sides of the two fabric pieces are in opposing contact with each other along the inverted seam. The alternating seam includes an overlapping seam, which may be an extension of the non-inverted seam, extending upwardly from the seam inversion point and curving outwardly to the inverted seam. A pant garment using the alternating seam can be made without any fasteners or elastic. When worn by a person, an upper edge of the pant garment can be rolled down and seam allowances in the upper portion of the pant garment are concealed from view.
