Abstract
In a method of sewing stretchable cloths, one or two stretchable cloths and a stretchable base cloth operating as a supporting member are laminated together such that edges of the cloths and the base cloth are aligned, and first stitches are applied at the edge portions of the one or two cloths and the base cloth along the edges. Then, the one or two cloths and the base cloth are folded back along the first stitches to sandwich the edge portions therebetween. Thereafter, second stitches as retaining stitches are applied between the one or two cloths and the base cloth along and outside the edge portions so that the second stitches are formed with stretchability and/or stably. It is possible to make shirts, formal suits as well as business suits without forming bulky, rugged or wrinkly portions while maintaining their original shapes.
