Carbon fiber-reinforced composites are used in various fields owing to their lightweight and excellent mechanical properties. In this study, we evaluated the sewing potentialof carbon fiber-reinforced composite materials for applications in textile products suchas shoes, bags, and accessories. We evaluated the sewing strength and elongation accordingto the type of carbon fiber-reinforced composite (thermoplastic, thermosetting), typeof sewing thread (nylon, cotton, etc.), and number of plies (2-ply, 3-ply, 4-ply). The surfaceaccording to the sewing conditions was confirmed by microscopic analysis.
