This research studies dyeing with Thai herbs for UV protection properties in textile products applications and aimed to: study procedures and techniques for this; investigate the use of herbal plant for UV protection; study UV protection properties in fabrics dyed with Thai herbs that can protect against UV rays. The process involved dyeing from natural surplus materials (militia kityana leaves lemongrass leaves and areca palm seeds) extracting the dyes for use in silk dyeing with a mordant to increase the affinity of the dye and fiber then rating the percentage of UV light blocked. Finally the fabric was used to design clothes as a prototype for five Muslim outfits. The research team chose dyed silk fabric with the percentage of UV light blocked are 95.67 – 96.24 which is in good to excellent protection level. Five outfits were designed for this study: 1) Silk dyeing with dyes extracted from the lemongrass leaves – using the first method of fabric dyeing with clear muddy water 1% as mordant 2) Silk dyeing with dyes extracted from lemongrass leaves – using the fourth method of fabric dyeing with the fabric fermented for 30 minutes in mud before dyeing 3) Silk dyed with dyes extracted from areca palm seeds – using the first method of fabric dyeing with 3% tamarind water as mordant 4) Silk dyed with dyes extracted from areca palm seeds – using the fourth method of fabric dyeing with the fabric fermented for 30 minutes in mud before dyeing and 5) Silk dyed with natural dyes extracted from militia kityana leaves – using the first method of fabric dyeing with 1% tamarind water as mordant.

This research aims to study the wisdom on costumes of Thai-Chinese minorities in order to develop and integrate on costumes of Thai - Chinese minorities and transfer technology to target groups by training and workshop. This research is for the purpose of Research and Development. The instruments used in research were included 10 prototype costumes training assessment questionnaire regarding costumes of Thai-Chinese minorities Lao-Song or Tai Song Dam and Zhuang. The sample consisted of 100 interested people from Thai Song Dam Loincloth Weaving Group in Tambon Donmanow No.39 Moo 2 Tambon Donmanow Songpeenong district Suphanburi Province and 2 groups of 20 trainees each from Thai Song Dam group in Tambon Ban Don Amphoe U Thong Suphanburi Province and Thai Song Dam group in Tambon Bang rakam Amhoe Bang rakam Phitsanulok Province. The statistics tools used in data analyzing were frequency percentage mean and standard deviation. The research result in prototype costumes evaluation in a mixing Tai Song Dam weaving and Zhuang style found that most interested people who responded to the questionnaires were female aged 31 to 40 years employee below a Bachelors degree and having an average income 5001 to 10000 baht. These interested people had a positive attitude level in Prototype costume No.10 regarding pattern design application and the overall average were at 4.79 4.78 and 4.28 respectively. The transfer of technology evaluation regarding training workshop on costumes of Tai Song Dam and Zhuang were combined with 2 groups of 20 trainees each from Thai Song Dam group in Tambon Ban Don Amphoe U Thong Suphanburi Province and Thai Song Dam group in Tambon Bang rakam Amphoe Bang rakam Phitsanulok Province. The results showed that most respondents from Thai Song Dam group in Tambon Ban Don Amphoe U Thong Suphanburi Province were female age above 40 years weavers having a primary school certificate and having an average income below 5000 baht. Before initiating the training workshop most trainees had pattern design skills sewing skills and decorating were at moderate level. After the training workshop showed significant improvement in the high level.

Purposes of the Development of cotton hand woven Based on Integration of Local Wisdom to Economic & Ecological Designare to develop the patterns of fabrics and the hand-woven cotton products by integrating local wisdom with the development of Eco-Design products; and to pass on the knowledge in development of hand-woven cotton by integrating local wisdom with the development of Eco-Design products to the cooperative women group in Ban Nong Bua Dang Chaiyaphoom province. This research aims to study the base of local wisdom concepts from the people in Nong Bua Dang sub-district in Chaiyaphoom province; to develop the knowledge in local wisdom integrated with the development of Eco-Design products; to design 10 fabric’s patterns for producing the model of Eco-Design products; and to pass on the knowledge in development of hand-woven cotton by integrating local wisdom with the development of Eco-Design products to the cooperative women group in Ban Nong Bua Dang Chaiyaphoom province. For analyzing the data researchers use the descriptive analysis method to analyze the local wisdom concepts of cotton hand-weaving in Nong Bua Dang community Chaiyaphoom province. Also we analyze those with the questionnaires surveying “the satisfaction for the development of pattern styles of hand-woven cotton and the Eco-Design products for building a career” and “the opinions and satisfaction for the development of designing fabrics’ patterns for producing the apparel product models from the local wisdom concepts integrated with the development of Eco-Design products”. The 2 samples are: 25 people from the cotton weaving community in Nong Bua Dang sub-district who are interested in developing the hand-woven cotton products and Eco-Design products; and 100 women 25-35 years old who live in Bangkok and surrounding areas. The collected data will be applied in designing 10 fabric’s patterns for producing the models of Eco-Design products. The results show that the cotton weaving community has developed the styles and patterns of the products after gaining the experiences from the campaign in woven fabrics development of both public and private sectors and integrating those with inheriting the local wisdom. The local wisdom which is the strength of the community includes natural-dyed cotton weaving that can improve the concept to the development in designing the fabrics’ patterns for producing the models of apparel products from the local wisdom concepts integrated with the development of Eco-Design products. This can increase the value of the hand-woven cotton and can be developed to be produced in the fashion apparel products.

The purposes of Motifs Development of Chok Tai-Yuan Fabrics for Fashion Design are to develop the Tai-Yuan Jok fabric’s patterns in Ratchaburi for fashion designing; and to create the patterns that can be applied for men and women apparel designing.The study aims to develop the Tai-Yuan Jok fabric’s patterns in Ratchaburi province by applying the unique pattern for the design; and to re-design the pattern by using the principles of pattern design to be suit with men and women apparel designing. Researchers selected the descriptive analysis method with the statistical data for analyzing the data of Tai-Yuan Jok fabric’s patterns. The collected data were all applied in developing the styles of Tai-Yuan Jok fabric’s patterns in Ratchaburi. Also the authors has surveyed the satisfaction of 100 samples for the work pieces of developing the Tai- Yuan Jok fabric’s patterns for fashion designing. The survey is to conclude the satisfaction for the developed patterns’ styles. The results showed that nowadays the Tai-Yuan Jok fabrics in Ratchaburi are consisted of patterns applied from the weavers by using their experiences in weaving the Jok fabrics. Thus the patterns have been combined with the traditional styles and the applied ones which are done in accordance with the age.Those patterns have different composition that depends on the weavers’ desire. Patterns can be categorized in three groups: 1. traditional pattern; 2. the combination of traditional pattern and the applied one; and 3. the applied pattern. So this study has selected the feature of traditional pattern and the dominant feature of applied pattern to be the concepts in developing the Tai-Yuan Jok fabric’s patterns for fashion designing for 4 patterns. The results of the survey of the satisfaction from the samples found that they are content with the fabric’s patterns development. Also they think that this development of the patterns will maintain the unique of Tai-Yuan Jok fabric’s patterns in Ratchaburi province and they will be able to apply these concepts of fabric’s pattern developing with the support of textile production for fashion design.
