        abstract = {The global textile and apparel manufacturing sector is facing unprecedented ecological challenges, accounting for approximately 10% of global greenhouse gas emissions and 20% of industrial wastewater generation. This comprehensive research paper presents an integrated engineering and design framework combining sustainable bio-based natural fiber substrates, eco-friendly extraction and dyeing protocols utilizing agricultural waste biomass, and advanced 3D Computer-Aided Design (CAD/CAM) virtual prototyping. Conducted under the academic umbrella of Yedeshwari College of Fashion Design, Yermala (Dist. Dharashiv, Maharashtra), this study provides empirical testing data, physical-mechanical characterizations, and life-cycle assessment (LCA) comparisons between traditional synthetic textiles and sustainable alternatives. Experimental evaluations demonstrate that blending industrial hemp with organic cotton yields a 48% increase in tensile strength (480 N) compared to conventional cotton, while reducing processing water consumption by 68.3% and cutting fabric pattern waste from 24% to under 8% via automated digital marker optimization. Furthermore, non-toxic bio-mordanting using potassium aluminum sulfate and plant-derived tannins achieved superior wash fastness (Grade 4-5) and light fastness without heavy metal effluent discharge. The research provides a scalable, practical blueprint for textile design educators, regional handloom clusters, and commercial garment manufacturers to transition towards closed-loop circular economy models.},
