A structured questionnaire was used to obtain preferences of experts regarding various utility articles that could be developed from old neckties. The expert panel consisted of 10 experts comprising of faculty members of Department of Apparel and Textile Science. According to their preference, six utility articles were selected namely cushion cover, multipurpose organizer, clutch, handbag, file cover and table mat. Four designs were made for each article with the variation in shape, style and colour. Thus, a total of twenty four designs were developed digitally using Corel Draw X7 and were documented. An interview schedule was used for collecting data from ninety respondents selected randomly from three different colleges of Ludhiana city regarding their preferences for designs of various utility articles, their base fabric, embellishment/ decoration and technique of construction. The results revealed that most preferred base fabric for utility articles were glace cotton, canvas, synthetic blend and jute. Lace, frills, tassels and machine embroidery were the most preferred embellishment and decoration types. Majority of respondents preferred patch work, pin tucking, weaving and braiding as the appropriate techniques of construction. The articles were developed and their evaluation was undertaken by showing them to a sub sample of thirty respondents. The developed utility articles were evaluated on the basis of their overall appearance on a five point scale. Most of the respondents considered the developed articles as excellent and very good. Maximum number of respondents liked the idea of reutilization of neckties for making the utility articles. Also, majority of the respondents considered the estimated selling price of the articles as adequate. The market price of developed articles was also assessed and the result showed that all the utility articles were saleable within a selling price range of `300-1400. | en_US |
