A study on developing textile products from fiber lemongrass has been carried out aimed at processing yarn from lemongrass fiber developing textile fabrics such as clothing hats and shoes and teaching product design and technology to a community. Lemongrass leaves were processed with chemicals to produce a fiber lemongrass then spun to 100% lemongrass yarn with large unsmooth surfaces the used to produce handbag hats and shoes. However for garment fabrics the researchers developed the lemongrass yarn for weaving by mixing cotton in a 60:40 ratio to produce hand-woven cloth. Using hand-woven folk wisdom the Takfa community in Nakhon Sawan produced natural dyes from Bengal Almond leaves a performed surface finishing for a smoother touch. After weaving lemongrass fiber cloth gives off a lemongrass odor but this fades gradually. The physical properties of lemongrass fiber cloth are then tested for strength resistance and abrasion. Processing lemongrass cloth fiber to textile products enables us to produce various products such as clothes bags and hats. In passing technology to the community the residents recognized the advantages and benefits of using the fabric. Further research should investigate mixing lemongrass fibers with other natural fibers improved fiber durability luster of the fiber to increase fiber value or using lemongrass fiber for household products.

The purpose of this research was to study the white resist printing with colour resistant material from flour of wild taro (Colocasia Esculenta (L.) Schott) and using reactive pigment and natural dyes as dyestuffs. Five formulas of printing pastes were applied to light cotton thick cotton and silk fabrics by the use three techniques nauely Silk screen (White resist and colour resist methods)stencil and batik. The optimal ratio of colour resistant materials from flour of wild taro were compose of 20 grams flour of wild taro 32-36 ml. water 30-34 ml. sodium chloride 10-13 ml. calcium hydroxide and 1-4% vegetable oil. The viscosities of printing paste from five recipes were shown in the rage between 559.9-671.9 Centipoise. All five recipes can resist dyestuffs and also easy to remove the flour of wild taro. The pattern at resist printing area of fabrics shows sharpness and whiteness. The colour fastness to washing water and perspiration on cotton and silk fabric results were ranging between poor to fair level when using reactive and natural dyes as dyestuff. However the fastness property of pigment dye shows medium to good level. The colour fastness to rubbing is shown to be in range of 4 to 4-5 for all recipes. The ratings of colour fastness to light in terms of colour change are fair to good (4 to >6).

The purposes of this research were to describe fundamental information about design of handy crafts furniture and decorative products from fake rattan to generalize design guideline for handy crafts furniture and decorative products from fake rattan by comparing target needs with the standard formed by Thai Community Product Standard for rattan furniture (TCPS 64/2546) and to determine the most satisfactory design pattern for handy crafts products. The study of demographic data revealed that the male and female respondents are equal and almost of participants are the elder the proprietor and the high level of income and education. The pattern of the handy crafts furniture and decorative products from fake rattan as the following: the most purchasing pattern should be the Aluminum living room sets because of their lightweight stainless weather proof inexpensive anti-termites aesthetic exotic multi-purpose indoor and outdoor usage appropriate price washable and anti-fungal. From this research it can be generalized the design guideline for handy crafts furniture and decorative products from fake rattan.

This research had an objective to research and development the garments and accessory products from Karen Woven Fabric. There were 3 product types as dress:D shirt:S and accessory:A what they were 15 styles/type. This research was survey research that used the Index of item-Objective congruence questionnaires (IOC) as the major tool. Addition the computer graphic aided was used to design the products under the design principle. The results showed the good level consumer responsibility. The consumer favored of the products followed: for dress was D8 > D7 > D3 > D5 > D1 > D4 > D2 > D10 > D11 > D6 > D14 > D10 > D13 > D12 > D15 for shirt was S8 > S7 > S3 > S5 > S1 > S11 > S10 > S9 > S1 > S4 > S6 > S14 > S13 > S15 > S12 and accessory was A5 > A2 > A4 > A1 > A3 > A11 > A6 > A7 > A10 > A14 > A15 > A8> A9 > A13 > A12. Moreover the whole satisfactions level of the consumer for all products in term of the useful modern style Karen conservation style and color theme were good. All of results were transfer to the target group at Bann YangNamkladtai school Phetchaburi province. The transfer group was satisfied and gain the worth knowledge. This cognition was a way for building the career and produces the commercial products in the future.

This research had an aim to develop an autoclave for using in natural dyes extraction and dyeing process. The autoclave used the stainless steel as the major material what it was a noble durable material and good resistance for the chemical used in the processes. The achievement results showed by the comparison data between the conventional process and the development using autoclave in term of extraction efficiency deep of shade (K/S) time equivalent process time and amount of gas consumption saver. The knowledge from the research would transfer to the target group at Bann Yang Nam Klad Tai Phetchaburi province. The results were following as 1. For the extraction process: the extraction process using 100oC for 45 min. They obtained product was the same dye quality but the autoclave process was smaller water evaporation as 26.71% whereas the conventional process was 41.99%. 2. For the dyeing process: All condition from the autoclave using make a deeper dye shade (K/S) than conventional process. The dyeing time equivalent as 15 minutes to make the depth shape via autoclave process as alike the conventional process for 45 min. 3. Saving time and gas consumption: the autoclave process could save 66.67% time process and 88.99% amount of gas consumption. 4. The Complacency for knowledge assignment: the satisfaction level in the content time and period was good. Furthermore the utilization the instructors and the value obtained were excellent. This research accomplished the study objectives. The results were not only corresponding to energy conservation but them also reducing the chemical toxic and pollutant vapor inhalant to the worker.
