I used to work in a factory where shirts were made. I ran a serger and did the shoulder seams. I got the backs from the yokers and since they use a board with a spring to hold in place I got the large pieces of material from the backs. The fronts had several operations done before I got them. I used the scraps years ago to make quilt tops with and also kids clothes. we only made for big name stores.
