Abstract
A method of making wraparound fabric article comprises positioning a closure member(s) at an edge portion of a sheet of fabric (1), and welding or bonding (a) fibres of the fabric adjacent to the closure member so as to trap the closure member by preventing of reducing relative movement of fibres at the edge portion (2). Preferably, the method involves attaching two closure members to the fabric, by which the article can be held in a wrapped around configuration.
