The need to respond to the increasing demand for human involvement is evident. The demand
in terms of manpower is increasing considerably everywhere in the world where the quest for
global competitiveness is ongoing. Manpower is needed in order to do the tasks to make the
nation capable of supplying the needs and demands of the community. A community where a
strong and powerful participation of everyone is beheld, where everybody has the desire to do
his share in helping the country uplift its economy and prove that the potential and skills instilled
within are the major factors to achieve the nation’s mission and vision.
No one is exempted from this demand and the corresponding effort. The Department of
Education with the K to 12 Program foresees to gear us towards the attainment of the country’s
goals and objectives. Through this learning material every learner will be equipped with
necessary knowledge, skills and attitudes to fulfill the responsibility given to them.

INTRODUCTION
Technology and Livelihood Education (TLE) is one nomenclature in the

implementation of the K to 12 Basic Education Program (BEP). It is composed of four
components, namely, Agri-Fishery Arts, Home Economics, Industrial Arts and
Information and Communication Technology. This module focuses on a Home
Economics course – Dressmaking.
In this course, varied and relevant activities and opportunities are provided to
demonstrate your understanding of concepts and core competencies as prescribed in
TESDA Training Regulation in Dressmaking. It deems eventually to provide quality
service to target clients. This will also be a venue for you to assess yourself and
identify aspects of business that you need to strengthen and safeguard before you
become a part of the workforce.
Today, in the world of work, the number of available jobs has become scarce.
Accordingly, the Department of Education is revitalizing its resources to lead the
young people and to prepare them skillfully as future dressmaker experts. It is in
honing the skills that learners can be assured to have an edge in surviving the daily
needs of the self and others. It seeks to provide students with the knowledge, attitude,
values and skills in the field of Dressmaking.
This module is specifically crafted to focus on the different activities that will
assess your level in terms of skills and knowledge that you are expected to
6
demonstrate after going through the learning materials. Learning procedures are
divided into different sections - What to Know, What to Process, What to Reflect and
Understand, and What to Transfer. Go over the suggested tasks and accomplish them
to practice developing a sustainable program, prioritizing needs and building vision.
So, explore and experience the K to 12 TLE Dressmaking module and be a

successful sewer/dressmaker/ and even a dress designer.
After finishing all the activities in this module, expect job

opportunities and experience to set up a business enterprise
which will generate jobs for others.
CONCEPT REVIEW
At the start of your journey in learning Dressmaking, the Personal
Entrepreneurial Competencies and entrepreneurial mindsets are introduced.
In this concept review, you will be reminded of these lessons and you get to
assess the competencies you have as found among entrepreneurs. In
addition, a brief lesson on the Business Environment and Idea Generation is
provided to help contextualize your skills for a useful entrepreneurial venture.
Read on to find out!
LEARNING OUTCOME 1:
ASSESS PERSONAL ENTREPRENEURIAL COMPETENCIES
Entrepreneur
An entrepreneur is comprehensively defined by Zimmerer &
Scarborough (2005) as someone who “creates a new business in the face of
risk and uncertainty for the purpose of achieving profit and growth by
identifying significant opportunities and assembling the necessary resources
7
to capitalize on them” (p.3). Entrepreneurs are the ones who act on their
business ideas.
Personal Entrepreneurial Competencies

There have been many studies to characterize “the entrepreneurial
personality”. Although there is no isolated set of traits that guarantee success,
there were identified behaviors found common to most successful
entrepreneurs. There is a well-known research on human behavior done by
McClelland and McBer which identified 10 behavioral patterns organized into
three general clusters: the achievement, planning, and power clusters
(SERDEF, 2007; 1998). It was found out that these behaviors were also
typical entrepreneurial behaviors. The entrepreneurial qualities, more known
as the Personal Entrepreneurial Competencies (PECs) are as follows:
Achievement Cluster
• Opportunity seeking – Entrepreneurs have a good eye for spotting
business opportunities and act on these opportunities appropriately.
• Persistence - Entrepreneurs do not easily give up in the face of
obstacles. They will take repeated or different actions to overcome the
hurdles of business. This includes making a personal sacrifice or
extraordinary effort to complete a job.
• Commitment to work contract - Entrepreneur do their best to satisfy
customers and to deliver what is promised. They accept full
responsibility for problems when completing a job for customers.
• Risk-taking - Entrepreneurs are known for taking calculated risks and
doing tasks that are moderately challenging.
• Demand for efficiency and quality - Entrepreneur see to it that the
business meets or exceeds existing standards of excellence and they
exert efforts to improve past performance and do things better. They
set high but realistic standards.
8
Planning Cluster
• Goal setting - Entrepreneurs know how to set specific, measurable,
attainable, realistic, and time-bound (SMART) goals. It is easy for them
to divide large goals into short-term goals.
• Information seeking - Entrepreneurs update themselves with new
information about the customers, the market, suppliers, and
competitors. This is rooted in their innate sense of curiosity.
• Systematic planning and monitoring - Entrepreneurs develop and use
logical, step-by-step plans to reach their goals. They monitor progress
towards goals and alter strategies when necessary.
Power Cluster
• Persuasion and networking - Entrepreneurs know how to use the right
strategies to influence or persuade other people. They have naturally
established a network of people whom they can turn to in order to
achieve their objectives.
• Self-confidence - Entrepreneurs have a strong belief in themselves and
their own abilities. They have self-awareness and belief in their own
ability to complete a difficult task or meet a challenge.

Interpretation
A lower score means a ‘weak’ performance and a higher score translates to a ‘strong’ performance on a
particular competency. A ‘weak’ performance should be regarded as a challenge or an opportunity for
improvement rather than a cause for worry. Improving a competency entails enough determination,
correct practice and strategies, and time for maturation.

Business Environment and Market
The study of the business environment in a particular location has farreaching and long-term effects on
a small or micro enterprise’s viability. In fact, business ideas and opportunities are partly shaped or
determined by the business location. Unless it is possible to migrate to more favorable locations, the
ideas and opportunities for business will oftentimes be delimited to the surrounding areas.
The business environment consists of both the tangible and intangible factors that affect either the
external or internal business operations. They may include the land area available for economic zones,
the physical layout and barriers such as rivers, parks or lakes, and building obstructions as well as the
transportation network; all of which are considered tangible factors. They also include the demography
of clients and suppliers, the competitors in the locale/area and the available technology for production.
The intangible factors, on the other hand, include the sub-culture, industry trends, economic and
government activity or the political situations in the area.

Natural and Physical Environment. This concerns the physical location of a business’ store. The natural
environment also pertains to the natural and man-made structures that may enhance the beauty of the
location, such as a park or a sea front view, or serve as barrier to the location, such as a dump site or
high rise structures that obstruct a view. The living condition in an area also serves as a standard for the
ambience you want to create for your store. There is also a phenomenon referred to as clustering where
a particular type of product is offered within the same area. For instance, most guitar shops are clustered
along the intersection of V. Mapa and Aurora Avenue in Metro Manila; Filipino craft stores crowd the area
under the Quiapo bridge; or car accessories are found in Banawe area.
The key word to have in mind when scanning the physical environment is the visibility of your intended
store to the potential clients.
Demography. This pertains to the number of people living in the area, their age, gender, socio-economic
status, family size, religion and even growth trends. These are invaluable information that can help
entrepreneurs in matching their product to the target market, in deciding for the marketing strategy, pricing
and product packaging among others.
Culture. Culture or sub-culture, being the totality of the way of life, ideas and customs of a set of people
or society, primarily influence the types of products that are acceptable to a particular locality. For
8
example, the influence of the Japanese culture gave rise to minimalist designs. A subculture also shapes
the ‘emotional’ environment of an area. For instance, the feeling of ‘fear’ for a specific location may serve
as a barrier for a business; a place where one does not feel safe because of the prevalence of crime will
discourage entrepreneurs.
Changes in the lifestyle, which is brought about by changes in the population demography and the
economy, also affect a business. These lifestyle changes may be the increase of women’s participation
in the world of work, change in buying patterns and shift in tastes.
Government Regulations. The laws and policies of the national and local government units also influence
the business operations. Some examples of policies that directly affect entrepreneurs are the imposition
or removal of taxes for products, the establishment of economic zones and assistance in product labeling
and packaging of products. In addition, improvement of facilities and roads improve Natural and Physical

the start of the venture – during the business idea generation and opportunity identification stage. A
concise guide on how to spot and identify business opportunities are provided in the following section.

Spotting and Identifying Business Opportunities

Spotting business opportunities is one of the most essential aspects of entrepreneurship. An
entrepreneur must have a keen eye for identifying opportunities that can potentially turn into a good
product or business venture. At the same time, an entrepreneur should also know which opportunities
to drop and which ones to develop.
Idea Generation
The first step in identifying a good business opportunity is to look for many opportunities. This is
called the idea generation phase (SERDEF, 2007). The following are good sources of business ideas
(Hisrich, Peters, & Shepherd, 2008; Looser & Schlapfer, 2001).
1. Personal hobbies and interests
2. Everyday experiences, travel, and adventures
3. Suggestions from family members and friends
4. Problems that need solutions
5. Problems with existing products
6. Books, magazines, news
7. Observing, listening around you
Screening Business Ideas
10
Once you have generated a number of business opportunities and ideas, the next step is to
select and screen these. Though there can be many ways to do this, a good way to proceed is to
screen your ideas based on 1) your personality and personal preferences and 2) the characteristics of
a good business (SERDEF, 2007). Consider the following criteria:
1. Personality and Personal Preferences
a. Personal Preference
b. Education, Skills, and Experience
c. Work Experience
d. Support from family and friends
2. Characteristics of a good business

a. Demand for Product
b. Availability of skills, raw materials, technology, and capital
c. Profitability
SWOT Analysis
Once you have chosen your business idea, the next step is to conduct a SWOT analysis in order
to determine the Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats of your potential business. This
step will help you improve your business of choice and prepare for challenges. The table below will help
you differentiate among these four features.

Lesson 1 Principles and Elements of Design
The personality of the wearer shows the kind of image she projects. Personalities differ
depending on the kind of clothing people wear. Most introvert persons prefer clothes of simple yet
classical cut with pastel or light colors. Extroverts, on the other hand are creative, artistic,
expressive and energetic. Hence, they prefer clothing that is comfortable, attractive and fashionable.
They can wear all kinds of clothing of varied style, colors and design with confidence.
No matter who and what we are, we must be well-groomed everyday to be attractive and
to project a pleasing personality. Designs in our clothes add interest and beauty. Design in fabric
refers to a pattern or figure that is printed on it. There are two basic ways which design is applied:
a. design by printing; and b. design by weaving.
a. Design by Printing is the use of dye or ink on the surface of the fabric. They are called
“prints”. They are often attractive because variety of colors can be combined. When
designs are printed all over the fabric, it is called “all-over print”.
22
b. Designs by Weaving are permanent because of the “color-fast dyes” as the fabric is
woven. They maybe in solid or in combination colors woven to form special designs.
Designs such as stripes use more colors of yarn and will always be straight because they
form “grain line” on the fabric. When horizontal lines cross vertical lines to form rectangles
or square, it is called plaid. When the design is formed by mixing certain colors of nappy
yarns to have speckled effects, it is called “tweeds”.
a. dress with plaid design b. dress with tweed design
23
To understand better how to consider designs and colors in buying fabrics let us review the
following principles and elements of design.
Principles of Design
1. Proportion is the relationship in size between various parts and the whole. Fashion designing is
a creative expression. Exact mathematical proportions are not required as long as what you design
is visually pleasing and in accordance with the size, shape and height of the bearer.
24
2. Balance is the
arrangement of a
design on a space
resulting to sense
of equilibrium. It is
the equal
distribution of
weight from a

balance, informal
or asymmetrical balance and radial balance.
a. Formal or symmetrical balance is the equal visual weight of each side of an imaginary
central vertical line. It is achieved when each half of an object is exactly like the other. A
jacket with two breast pockets and two hip pockets is formally
balanced.
a.
a.
a.Formal or Symmetrical Balance
b. Informal or asymmetrical balance is when the design is balanced, but each side is
different in some way. It is achieved when the two halves of a whole are different, but seem
to be equal in weight or emphasis. For example, a jacket with a breast pocket on one side
can be balanced by a pocket on the hip of the opposite side.
25
b. Informal or Asymmetrical Balance
c. Radial balance is achieved when all parts of the design are at equal distance from
a central point. A man wearing a sun design on the front of his shirt may have this king of
design.
c. Radial Balance
3. Emphasis is achieved by the designer’s ability to create a center of interest by which the viewer’s
eyes are directed to a specific area of a garment or body part.
4. Rhythm is the repetition of an accent to create an interesting design. Repeating an accent on

different parts of the dress or one part of the dress will achieve a design that is harmonious and
visually united.
26
5. Harmony is the pleasing and congruent arrangement of parts. It is the blending of all components
of design. When the structural lines, decorative lines, colors and accessories all relate to each
other comfortably, harmony results.
Elements of Design
1. Line creates a visual dimension of length and width. When lines meet, space is enclosed and a
shape is defined. Lines direct the eyes to a certain path of vision, or it can draw the eyes away
from an undesirable area of the body.
It defines a shape or silhouette and conveys a mood of character.
There are two kinds of lines in garments:

a. The Directional line such as vertical, horizontal, diagonal, checkered, broken and curved.
These affect the height and size of an individual. Lines are serving as clothing designs like
the art of printing flowers, dots and others on fabric.
27
a. vertical b.
horizontal c. diagonal
d. checkered e. with curve neckline
b. Structural lines are found on necklines, armholes, hemlines, darts, side seams, sleeves,
collars, tucks and pleats of garments.
28
a. with bateau neckline b. with plunging c. with cape collar neckline
d. skirt with pleats
2. Color is a radiant energy loosely termed light that produces sensation in our eyes. The color of
the dress easily attracts the client’s attention and becomes her basis in choosing her apparel.
It is the most powerful element.
The Color Wheel
A color circle, based on red, yellow and blue, is traditional in the field of art. Sir Isaac Newton
developed the first circular diagram of colors in 1666. Since then, scientists and artists have studied
and designed numerous variations of this concept. Differences of opinion about the validity of one
format over another continue to provoke debate. In reality, any color circle or color wheel which
presents a logically arranged sequence of pure hues has merit.
29
Hue is the other name for color. It is the particular shade of color that differentiates one
from another.
Primary colors are red, blue and yellow. They are the basic colors where different colors
originated.
30
Secondary Colors: Green, orange and violet

These are the colors formed by mixing the primary colors
Intermediate Colors stem from the combination of primary and secondary colors.
31
Tertiary colors are made by mixing either one primary color with one secondary color, or two
secondary colors. Tertiary colors are a combination of full saturation of one primary color plus half
saturation of another primary color and none of a third primary color. They have specific names, one
set of names for the RGB color wheel and a different set of names and colors for the RYB color
wheel.
a. Primary, secondary, and tertiary colors of the b. A traditional RYB color wheel. 'Violet' is commonly RGB color wheel
called 'purple'.
Neutral colors are the white, black and gray and are predominantly grayish and brownish. They are
sometimes called “earth tones.”
32
Value is the lightness or darkness of color. White added to a color will produce tints. For example, pink
is a tint of red. Black added to a color will produce shades. Maroon is a shade of red.
A Color Wheel showing the tint, tone and shade of colors
Intensity or chroma is of a color corresponds to its purity and saturation in a color other than black,
white and gray.
Color impressions or image from a complex overlaying of value and chroma
Color Schemes (Color Harmonies):
33
Monochrome or one color harmony includes only one color of different value. and intensity. An
example of a monochrome color scheme could include any color mixed with white, gray, or black.
Adjacent colors (also called analogous colors) uses colors that neighbor each other on the color
wheel. An example is a color scheme that includes various values and intensities of reds and oranges
34
Colors opposite each other on the color wheel are called complementary colors for example, violet
and yellow, red and green, and blue and orange.
A single split complementary uses a primary color plus colors on either side of its complement. An
example is a color scheme that includes various values and intensities of greens, violet-reds and red-
oranges.
A double split complementary (also called tetradic) uses two pairs of complements, one apart on the
color wheel. An example is red, green, orange, and blue.
A triad uses colors at the points of an equilateral triangle (three colors spaced equally on the color
wheel). These are sometimes called balanced colors. An example of a triadic scheme could be red,
blue, and yellow; green, orange, and purple, etc.
Psychological Effects of Colors on People
Colors bring life to us. Our looks and feelings are sometimes mirrored by our selection of
colors. When we choose colors, it reveals our personality. They make us feel and look happy or

Green suggests life and abundance as this is the color of plants, but green could also suggest
jealousy.
Purple is the color of royalty, but it can also symbolize suffering.
Orange is a warm color that suggests deliciousness and ripeness. Eateries, especially fastfood joints
use orange with a touch of green to stimulate appetite.
Black suggests strength and dignity and is usually worn for formal evening affairs. Black also
symbolizes mourning and death.
3.Space is the area inside an enclosed shape. The use of space can lead to an interesting design.
But the overuse of a space could make the design confusing while an empty space could be
unattractive and boring.
36
3. Form or shape refers to the form of a person showing the curves of the body. This includes the
shape of the face, neckline and the full body or figure.

Lesson 2 FABRICS
Fabric is cloth made of fibers. Fibers are hair-like strands that are wound to make yarn or thread
used to make fabric. Fabric is the cloth or material used in making our clothes, curtains,
tablecloths, sheets and many other items.
Types of Fabrics
Woven fabric does not stretch except on the

bias. Woven fabric is made up of fibers which run
straight at ninety degree angles to each other.
Knit fabric has loops of fiber that allow the fabric to

stretch. The amount and the direction of stretches are all
variables. A knit may stretch in one direction or it may
stretch in both directions. This is an important
consideration when choosing fabric for a specific pattern.
For example, a bathing suit pattern will require equal two way stretch. If you choose a fabric that
only stretches in one direction, the suit is not going to fit properly and you cannot even put it on.

Lesson 3 SLEEPING GARMENTS
Nightwear, also called sleepwear, nightclothes, or nightdress, is clothing designed to

be worn while sleeping. The style of nightwear worn may vary with the seasons, with warmer styles
being worn in colder conditions and vice versa. Some styles or materials are selected to be visually
appealing or erotic in addition to their functional purposes.
3.1 Characteristics of a Sleeping Garment
SlSleeping garments must provide us the comfort while sleeping. They should p possess
the following characteristics:
1. 1. They should not exceed the maximum dimensions specified in the regulations for the
chest, waist, seat, upper arm, thigh, wrist, or ankle;
2. They should have no fabric ornament or trim, such as lace or ribbon, which extends more than
¼ inch from the point at which it is attached to the garment;
3. They should have sleeves that taper from the shoulders to the ends of the sleeves;
4. They should have pant legs that taper from the thighs to the ends of the legs;
5. If they are 1-piece, they should taper from the chest down to the waist and from the seat up to
the waist;
6. If they are 2-piece,
a. The upper piece should tapers from the chest down to the bottom of the piece,
b. If the upper piece has fastenings it should be located within 6 inches of the bottom of the
piece.
c. It has a lower piece that tapers from the seat to the bottom.
7. They should bear a permanent label stating the size of garment;

8. They should bear a hang tag alerting buyers that the garments are not flame-resistant and
should be worn snug fitting because loose-fitting garments are more likely to catch fire.
3.2 Types and Selection of Fabrics for Sleeping Garments
50
Types of Sleeping Suggested Fabrics

Garment
Usually made of cotton and marketed under a
Adult jumpsuits or number of different brand names
footed pajamas
All-in-one footed sleep suits worn by adults but
similar to an infant one size or children's blanket
sleeper
Usually made from cotton and marketed under a

Blanket sleeper number of different brand names
A warm sleeping garment for infants and young

children
Babydoll The garment is often trimmed with lace, ruffles,

appliques, marabou fur, bows, and ribbons;
optionally with spaghetti straps. Sometimes it is
made of sheer or translucent fabric like nylon or
chiffon or silk.
A short, sometimes sleeveless, loose-fitting

nightgown or negligee for women, generally
designed to resemble a young girl's nightgown
Chemise Skimpy chemises pieced from a narrow piece of

rough cloth, some have voluminous chemises
pieced from thin, smooth fine linen.
It is a delicate, usually provocative, loose-fitting,

sleeveless, shirt-like lingerie, similar to babydoll,
but tighter at the hips.
51
Negligee or négligée Usually made of sheer or semi-translucent fabrics

and trimmed with lace or other fine material, and
bows
From the French: négligée, literally meaning

"neglected", loose, sensuous nightwear for
women
Typically made from cotton, silk, satin or nylon.
A loose hanging nightwear for women
Nightgown
Nightshirt Usually made of cotton fabric
A garment somewhat longer than most regular

shirts, reaching down to the thighs or below the
knees while leaving some of the legs uncovered.
It is generally loose-fitting to avoid restricting the
wearer's movement while sleeping.
52
Nightcap Ideally made from cotton fabrics

A warm cloth cap worn while sleeping, often with
pajamas or a nightgown. It is similar to winter
'beanies' worn in cold climates. They were
common in northern Europe before central
heating was available.
Women's night caps usually consist of a long
piece of cloth wrapped around the head. Men's
nightcaps were traditionally pointed with a long
top and usually accompanied by a small ball
similar to a scarf. They keep the neck warm as
wrapped around but not so tight to become a
choking hazard.
Pajamas They may be made from cotton, silk, satin or

synthetic materials made of soft fabric, such as
flannel;[6]
Loose fitting two-piece garments for women,
men and children. Traditional pajamas consist of
jacket-and-trousers. The jacket element usually
has a placket front and its sleeves have no cuffs.
For a number of reasons (increased freedom of
movement, aesthetic appeal, etc.), many men opt
to sleep or lounge bare chested in just the
pajama trousers
.
Dressing gown or Made of chiffon, silk or cotton fabrics

bathrobe.
A long outer garment for women usually sheer.
They are usually sold with a matching nightgown,
negligee or panties
Other types of garment such as t-shirts, tank

53
tops, sweatpants and gym shorts as well as underwear are commonly worn for
sleeping . Also, sleeping without clothing is not uncommon.

54
Congratulations! You are now knowledgeable with the characteristics of good and
suitable sleeping garment. It’s now time to practice making your own. Are you ready?
Produce your own sleeping garment! Take note: you are going to prepare first your
project plan.
Lesson 4 Project Plan for Sleeping Garment
Construction of sleeping garment is just like cooking a recipe for a party that requires careful
planning. In every task or project you have, it should be accompanied with a project plan. This serves
as a guide in making any kind of project. It contains the materials and tools to be used, design and
procedure in making the project and the criteria for evaluating the finish output coupled with rubrics
designed by the teacher and students.
4.1 Components of a Project Plan
1. Project Plan No. – reflects the number of projects

2. Date Begun – date when the construction of the project will starts 3. Date Finished – the
exact date when the project will be completed
4. Name of the Project – a specific description of the job/ project.
5. Objectives - states the purpose why a project should be done. This is usually stated in three
learning domains: the cognitive, psychomotor and affective.
6. Word Study – unlocks the terms used operationally and conceptually
7. Tools and Equipment – list of tools and equipment in the accomplishment of the job
8. Materials and Supplies Needed – the itemized list of tools and supplies needed to produce a
project.
a. Quantity suggests the amount needed.
b. Unit is the unit of measure of the quantity.
c. Description refers to the features and characteristics of the materials and supply
needed.
d. Unit Cost is the selling price per quantity and unit of the materials
e. Total Cost is the total amount needed per quantity of supply and material needed.
f. Total is the over-all total cost of all the supplies and materials to be used.
9. Design Specifications – the photographic representation of the project in two to five views: front,
back, right, left and top views.
10. Procedure – the chronological steps or operations involved to accomplish the project. This is
divided into two stages:
a. Preparation stage – depicts the preparation to be done before the actual execution
or performance of the operations.
55
b. Performance stage – the actual procedures involve in the actual making of the
project where all tools, supplies, materials and equipment intended to make the
project are ready.
11. Evaluation – the process of assessing the finished project with its given criteria prepared during
planning and evaluating.

5.1 Marking Tools Used in Pattern Drafting
Marking tools are used to transfer the pattern symbols onto the
fabric It is essential to transfer these symbols for correct fitting and sewing.
Below are some tools used to transfer the pattern markings onto the fabric.
1. Tracing wheel is available in a serrated or smooth edge. The serrated

edge is used to make a dotted link marking in most fabrics. The
smooth edge makes a solid line marking and is used for delicate
fabrics such as silk and chiffon.
61
racing paper is used to transfer the tracing

g side of the fabric. Select a color close to your
ough to see.
3. Tailor’s chalk can be used to mark directly onto the fabric. It does not
need sharpening like a chalk pencil. Great for dark, heavy fabrics
where a traditional water soluble marking pen may not appear.
62
4. Chalk pencil is filled with chalk at on e end of the pencil and a brush at
the other end to remove chalk marks.
5. Liquid marking pens are used to mark tucks, darts, pleats and
pockets. One type disappears after about 48 hours. Another type
washes off with water.

Lesson 6 Pattern Symbols
Sewing will be easier if you know how to read patterns. Pay attention to every symbol.
Immediately transfer the symbols to the fabric after cutting. This way you won't forget this step.
It's not fun to look for these symbols after removing the pattern.
Pattern Symbols or Construction Markings
These guides help the sewer put together and sew the pieces of garment easily. Several markings
are evident in some patterns but others have only few, depending on the design and style of their
project.
1. Straight Grain or Direction

The selvage is the finished edge of fabric. It usually has a different color or texture.
Sometimes it also has little holes.
Every woven fabric is made of crosswise (from selvage to selvage) and lengthwise threads.
They are called the grain threads. The
grain is the direction that tells where they're going.
In patterns, this arrow must be in the same direction as the length and parallel to the selvage. This will
make the fabric prevent from falling and be more resistant to movement. If you place it parallel to the
crosswise grain, the fabric will hang after it is sewn.
64
When fabric yarns do not cross at exact right angles, the cloth is off-grain. But if the lengthwise and
crosswise yarns cross ech other at exact right angle, the fabric is grain-perfect.
Pleat
This little symbol marks the beginning and ending of a pleat. The arrow indicates which way
to fold. In this example, you would pleat from left to right. It is usually indicated by an
alternating solid and broken line.
Notches
These help you match pattern pieces.

In sewing garment pieces, the front and back notches should be aligned. Notches will help the sewer
perfectly match the pieces easily.
You can find one triangle or more. Some patterns include numbers beside the notch to help you. These
are the V-shaped symbols or triangles along the cutting line.
65
Fold
Fold the fabric and place the pattern's edge on the fold. When you cut do it around the
pattern only, never cut the folded edge.
Dots
They are used to mark important parts of the patterns such as dart points or pocket
placement (see the image above). Their meaning
varies depending on the pattern.
Slash
Lengthen or shorten here. This is the part of the pattern where you can safely adjust the
length. Avoid doing this before or after because the pattern's shape could change.
66
Cutting Lines
These vary depending on the pattern company but they're usually marked with a dark line
and scissors symbol or dotted line.
Buttonholes
Mark where to make the buttonholes. They are indicated by a solid line having a short line at
right angles to one end.
Buttons
This is where to sew the buttons.

Stitching Lines
Not all pattern pieces include stitching lines. If they are included then there is a broken line, indicating the
areas that will be stitched together. These are a guide so you can see where the line of stitching intersects
and where you will not be stitching. It is not recommended that you mark every stitching line on to your
garment. This would result to excess handling of your fabric.
Fold Line
This line indicates that the edge of the pattern piece must be placed on a fold of fabric. The edge of the
pattern piece is usually indicated as a broken line, to remind you not to cut on that edge. If you cut this
edge, there is no seam allowance and trying to join these will change the way the pattern fits, as well as
how other pieces will join to this piece.
Centerfold
This indicates that the edge of the pattern must be placed on the folded part of the fabric. This is when
cutting two sides of the garment parts as left and right or back and front parts.
Review of Lesson 6
A. Directions: Draw the following pattern symbols:
67
Buttons Grainline
Buttonholes Pleats
Stitching line/Seam line Notches
Slash Cutting line
B. Make a sample pattern using a skirt or t-shirt with proper markings. Let your teacher check your
work.
How are you doing with your exercises? Are you doing well? Very Good! After
familiarizing with the essential markings on the pattern and using the most common
tools used in pattern making, you are halfway to the making of your sleeping garment.
Enjoy learning!
Lesson 7 Measurements Needed in Sleeping Garments
As variety of ready-to wear garments is largely available in our market, you may think there’s no
need for you to sew and make a dress for yourself. That’s not a good idea! Now that you have
acquired some of the basic learning about the different kinds of fabric, let us continue to develop your
ability and skill in sewing. It would be a great accomplishment for you if you know what you are
wearing is a product of your own talent, skill and creativity. Let’s deal first with the different tools,
materials and sewing equipment. Perhaps, you have already encountered all of these during your
Grade 8. As a review, find time to discuss and be familiar again with tools and sewing equipment.
Apparel requires specific measurement to come up with a well designed and comfortable
sleeping garment. The following measurements are needed:

Lesson 10 Principles in Laying Out the Fabric
General Guidelines to Laying Out a Pattern

Laying out your pattern on the fabric in preparation for cutting is an important step. It must be
done carefully and accurately for great-looking results.
Pattern preliminaries
Be sure you have all the necessary pattern pieces. Most instruction sheets, list pieces by letter or
number next to the layout diagrams.
1. Make changes or fitting alterations to the pattern. If you significantly alter a garment's length, you
may need extra yardage to make sure you have a workable layout. Press the pattern pieces with a dry
iron set to a lowtemperature so that they're easier to work with.
Preshrink your fabric if necessary and make sure the grain is straight. Do this by
a. tearing across the grain at the ends of your fabric piece (if it's firmly woven),
b. pulling a thread across the width of the fabric at the ends,
c. cutting along a dominant line in the pattern or weave,
d. fold lengthwise, matching selvages, to see whether the ends now match, and
e. If they don't and the fabric needs to be straightened, gently pull on the fabric's length from
opposite corners.
Laying out pattern pieces
114
When positioning pattern pieces with straight arrows, keep the arrows parallel to the selvage so that the
fabric will be straighten when cut. Pieces with a straight line and bent arrows should be cut double on
the fabric. For a fabric with a nap, the lay out must run in the same direction and so a pattern piece can
be reversed, placed printed side down, and cut on a single layer.

Layouts for Fabric with Nap or One-Way Design
Fabrics with a nap or one-way design must be laid out in one direction.
Decide on the “top” of the fabric, and follow this direction when placing the pattern pieces, so the nap will
run in one direction. One-way designs are arranged on the fabric according to the pattern or the garment
design.

Crosswise Fold
There are two reasons for a fabric to be folded crosswise at the layout stage. Often, this type of fold is
made to accommodate the widest pattern pieces. Alternatively, it may be needed to fit those pattern
pieces with a complex shape onto the fabric area.

Crosswise Fold with Nap

When a crosswise fold cutting layout is used with a fabric that has a nap, it requires a special layout
method. The fabric is folded with wrong sides together, and cut into two pieces along the folds. The
top layer is then turned around so that the nap runs in the same direction on both layers of fabric.

Partial Fold
The fabric is folded partways for this layout, so that one section of the fabric forms a double layer on a

Pinning a Pattern to Fabric

Before pinning the pattern pieces to fabric, fold the fabric in half lengthwise with right side together,
unless the cutting layout shows otherwise. Each pattern piece has a straight grainline arrow or a bent
arrow for an edge placed on the fold. Straight grain line arrow must be parallel to the selvage or fold.
Pin the pieces to the fabric.
Check the distance from each grainline arrow end to the selvage has the same measurement. Check
also if the fold edge of the pattern pieces aligns with the fabric fold, otherwise the piece will be smaller
or larger than the correct size. Pin each of the arrow ends to the fabric, and pin around the pattern
pieces.
1. The fabric is laid out and folded according to the pattern directions.
2. The selvage is lined up along the corner and along the table’s edge (or T-square).
3. If not square, trim the CUT side (not selvage) until both sides are square and lines are up to
the tables edge. 4. Two sides of most tables could be used in a pinch.
a. Line up one end of the ruler on a set of straight parallel lines outside the fabric.
b. Find the grain line on the pattern. In exhibit B the ruler’s edge is lined up on the
pattern grain line.
c. Adjust pattern if necessary. When both ends line up, pin in place starting with a pin in
the grain line.
118
NOTE: Always minimize pin holes if possible.

Line up the grain line on the pattern and the grain line on the fabric, parallel to the
selvage.

Lesson 11 Guidelines in Cutting Fabric
As what Bailey and Draper stated in their book, Steps in Clothing Skills, our hands are very
important when we sew. “Teach” our hands to work for us. They are as important to beautiful sewing as
pianist’s hands are to beautiful music.
They emphasized that before cutting the garments, ask the teacher first to approve your layout. Then
study your layout and decide on the order in which to cut. Where should you start? How should your
fabric be placed on the work surface? Where should you stand?
Here are some of the important reminders when cutting the final pattern.
1. Practice using the shears on a piece of cloth to have a smooth cutting line.
2. Cut along the pattern so that the other hand rests on the pattern.
3. Start cutting at an edge within your reach.
4. Do not let the blades of the shears slant toward the table.
120
5. Do not lift the fabric.

6. When you reach a notch, cut directly towards it. Close the points at the exact stopping place.
7. Close the points of the shears to an exact stopping point only.
8. When cutting curves, your strokes will be shorter. Keep your free hand close to the cutting line to
help you cut smooth curved line.
Ways on How to Cut Fabric
1) Pins + Dressmaking Scissors

Cut the pattern pieces out with paper scissors – either exactly on (or just within) the lines, or
leaving some extra paper around the lines. Pin the pattern pieces to the fabric – use enough pins
to hold the pattern in place, but not so many that the pinning distorts the pattern or fabric.
Now cut the fabric with dressmaking scissors. If you’ve cut the pattern pieces out roughly, cut
directly on the lines through both pattern and fabric. This can dull your fabric scissors though; but
on the other hand, it can be more accurate than cutting around a pre-cut pattern.
2) Pattern Weights + Chalk/Pen + Dressmaking Scissors/Rotary Cutter

Cut the pattern pieces out with paper scissors precisely on (or just within) the lines. Instead of
pinning the pattern pieces in place, this time use weights to hold them in place. The idea is that
121
weights keep the pattern and fabric flatter than the pinning method. You don't have to buy
specialist pattern weights - you can use whatever you have around the house, such as food tins.
Draw around the pieces with a sharp chalk pencil or washable pen. Remove the pattern and use
dressmaking scissors or a rotary cutter to cut the fabric just within the pattern lines you've just
drawn.
3) Pattern Weights + Dressmaker's Carbon + Tracing Wheel + Dressmaking Scissors

Hold the pattern pieces down on the fabric with weights. Slip a piece of dressmaker's carbon
between the pattern and fabric, face down against the fabric. Trace over the pattern lines using a
tracing wheel moving the dressmaker's carbon as needed. Remove the pattern. Cut out the
fabric directly on the traced lines using dressmaking scissors.
In marking the cutting lines of the pattern, don't forget to mark in the other bits and bobs such as
darts, buttonholes and gather points.
Cutting the Fabric of the Sleeping Garment (Pajama)
The fabric is then cut with the help of cloth cutting machines suitable for the type of the cloth. These can
be band cutters having similar work method like that of band saws; cutters having rotary blades;
machines having reciprocal blades which saw up and down; die clickers similar to die or punch press;
or computerized machines that use either blades or laser beams to cut the fabric in desired shapes.
For beginners/ students cutting shears are appropriate as seen in the picture below.
122
Check pattern alignment of grainline and

pattern design.
Cut the fabric following the pattern.

Cut the bigger parts first.
Place your free hand on top of the

cloth with pattern.
Smaller parts should be cut last.

123
Cutting extra notches will help mark your garment parts .It is the most important way in marking
pattern details. The first extra notches you may use will mark the center which are cut
on fold, thus, locating the exact center of the garment part. Don’t forget to put
allowance for casing, seam lines, shoulder, armhole, side hem, sleeve, pocket and
facing.
Review of Lesson 11
A. Directions: Put a check () to the statement that is applicable when cutting fabrics and (X) if not
applicable.
1. Pinning method can flatten the fabrics.

2 Take time when cutting the fabric.
3 Hold fabric gently in place.

4 Use only two pins to hold fabrics.
5 Scissors is used to cut fabrics.
6 Fabrics are cut outside of the cutting lines.
7 In the absence of dressmaker’s pins weights can be used.
8 In tracing wheel always used with dressmaker’s carbon paper.
9 Keep fabric as flat as possible against the table.
10 Cutting paper with fabric scissors can dull it.
B. Directions: Check the checklist below if you can perform the operations stated:

Lesson 12 Transferring Pattern Marking and Symbols on the Fabric
Transferring pattern markings to the cloth must be done accurately so that the finished garment
will look peculiar. You are now familiar with the tools used in transferring pattern markings. Now,
remember these pointers for accurate markings on your fabric.
Kate’s words of wisdom: Never mark fabric with something that won’t come out in a place where
it can be seen!
Pointers to remember:
*. The pattern details should be marked on the wrong side of garment pieces.
* The tracing paper and tracing wheel will make following markings easy.
* Avoid marks that can be seen outside.
* Mark once along one line with the tracing wheel. * Protect the table with cardboard.

Lesson 1 Pre-Assembling Procedure
1. Sorting/Bundling:
Sorting or Bundling is the process of matching patterns according to size and design. The
sorter makes bundles of patterns. This step requires much precision because making bundles of
mismatched patterns can create severe problems. On each bundle there are specifications of the
style, size and the marker is attached with it.
2.Sewing/Assembling:
The sorted bundles of fabrics are now ready to be stitched. Large garment manufacturers
have their own sewing units but some give the fabrics under contract to other contractors. Stitching
in-house is preferable because one can maintain quality control during the processing. Else, if
contractors are hired, keeping an eye on quality is difficult unless the contactor is the one who
precisely controls the process.
133
There are sewing stations for sewing different parts of the cut pieces. In this workplace,
there are many operators who perform a single operation. One operator may make only straight
seams, while another may make sleeve insets. Yet another two operators can sew the waist
seams, and make buttonholes. Various industrial sewing machines, too, can make different types
of stitches. These machines have different configurations of the frame. Some machines work
sequentially and feed their finished step directly into the next machine, while the gang machines
have multiple machines performing the same operation supervised by a single operator. All these
factors determine what parts of a garment can be sewn at that station. Finally, the sewn parts of
the garment, such as sleeves or pant legs, are assembled to give the final form to the clothing.
Sewing Stations prescribed by TESDA

Lesson 2 Pressing Tools, Materials and Equipment
Here is a list of ironing equipment and pressing tools you will need to get the best pressing
results.
Iron and Ironing Board or Other

Pressing Surface You need an
ironing board or other heat-proof
pressing surface
134
Seam Roll is a handy pressing

tool used all the time. Besides the
sleeve board, it's a mainstay of the
pressing tools.
Seam Stick helps you press in

small places.
Tailor's clapper is used in

tailoring to help press wool
seams flat. First you press the
seam with a good steam iron.
Then, before the seam is
cooled, you press the clapper
against the seam to hold it in
place while it cools.
Caution! Never move a pressed

seam until the fabric has cooled
completely! Otherwise, you will
repeat all your pressing.
Lesson 3 Pressing techniques
Have you already experienced ironing your clothes? Of course, you had! Here in
dressmaking, when you sew, you must learn also how to use the iron in a new way. Have you
heard the word “Press”? Right! Pressing and Ironing are two different uses of electric iron.
Pressing is lifting and placing the iron on the garment.
135
Ironing is pushing and using pressure to iron out the wrinkles of the garment.
You must learn to press as you sew. It is a good habit to press every detail in your
garment as you finish it. Read these 9 Pressing Tips on how to make your garment obtain a truly
finished look.
Seam Imprints
To avoid seam imprints on the right side of the fabric, place a strip of brown paper bag between
the seam allowance and the garment before pressing.
Rub Out Scorch Marks

If you scorch wool fabric by using an iron that is too hot, rub a nickel on the scorch mark. The
scorch mark will disappear. Be careful to use a clean nickel on light colored fabrics.
Press As You Go
When sewing, never sew over an unpressed seam. Always press the seams as you go. This will
make sewing easier and will improve the quality of hanging of your finished garment.
Ironing vs. Pressing

Ironing is done by using a back and forth motion. Pressing is done by using an up and down
motion. Ironing can stretch the fabric out of shape and can cause wrinkling and puckering on
finished garments. Always press.
Cool It
To keep freshly pressed fabrics and garments from getting wrinkled, allow them to rest and cool
down on the ironing board for a couple of minutes before moving them. If you are in a hurry or
just impatient, use a fan directed at the ironing board to cool down the fabric and set the press.
Setting and Removing Creases

A solution of one part water and one part distilled white vinegar will remove an old crease and/or
set a new one. Dampen a press cloth with this mixture and press hard as the fabric allows. Press
until the press cloth is dry. The vinegar smell will dissipate as the fabric dries.
Cleaning Your Iron

Irons get dirty and accumulate color from the fabric dye. Clean your iron periodically especially
when sewing and pressing light colored fabric. The best way to clean the soleplate of your iron is
with a commercial hot iron cleaner, sold at fabric and sewing supply stores. This product is very
easy to use.
Seam Roll
A seam roll can be used to press areas that are hard to lay on a flat surface, like a sleeve. They
also provide a curved surface for pressing seams without leaving imprints from the seam
136
allowance. If you do not have a seam roll, roll up a newspaper or magazine and cover with a
terry towel or insert in a wool sock.
Clapper
Use a clapper to flatten seams after pressing. A clapper can reduce bulk and make fabric lay flat.
Steam press the seam area. Press the clapper over the area to seal in the heat and moisture.
After about a minute, the fabric or seam will lay perfectly flat.
Procedure in Pressing Sleeping Garments
1. Pressing/ Finishing:
The next operations are finishing and/or decorating. Molding may be done to change the finished
surface of the garment by applying pressure, heat, moisture, or other combinations. Pressing, pleating
and creasing are the basic molding processes. Creasing is mostly done before finishing processes like
that of stitching a cuff. Creasing is also done before decorating the garment with something like a
pocket, appliqués, embroidered emblems, etc.
Vertical and form presses are automated machines. They perform simple pressing operations,
such as touching up wrinkles in knit shirts, around embroidery and snaps, and at difficult to reach
places on garments.
Review of Lesson 2
A. Directions: Press the sleeping garments using these pressing tools and equipment.
Lesson 4 Application of Heat and Pressure
Due to variations in garments and heat presses, these settings may vary. For best results, test
different time/temperature combinations to find one that works best with your garment / heat press
combination. Please take note, higher temperatures generally require less time to prevent scorching. An
insufficient time / temperature combination may hinder Chroma Blast from completely curing the cotton
fibers, thus resulting to wash out.
137
Selecting the right temperature when getting ready to iron clothing can make the difference between ease
and disaster. The right temperature selection will make ironing easier and quicker. The wrong
temperature means more work or disaster.
Fortunately, most irons have a sliding scale that indicates the correct setting for different types of fabric.
As a reference, use a scale of 1 to 7 - 1 being cool, 7 being very hot.
While all irons differ in temperature as per manufacturer, here is a basic guideline of proper
temperatures for ironing different fabrics:
Type of Fabrics Required Heat
Temperature
Linen 230 °C (445 °F
Triacetate 200 °C (390 °F)
Cotton 204 °C (400 °F)
Viscose 190 °C (375 °F)
Wool: 148 °C (300 °F)
Polyester 148 °C (300 °F)
Silk 148 °C (300 °F)
Acetate 143 °C (290 °F)
Acrylic 135 °C (275 °F)
Lycra/Spandex 135 °C (275 °F)
Nylon 135 °C (275 °F)

Lesson 5 Kinds of Seams and Seam Finishes
Carefully selected and well-constructed seams and seam finishes are important—even critical—
steps in the construction process. They are basic techniques used in the sewing process.
1.Seam is the basic structural element of a garment or household textile item. It is a means by
which two pieces of fabric are joined. Typical examples: plain, French, flat-fell.
2.Seam finish is applied to/used on the unfinished seam edge to prevent raveling, curling, or
rolling. Typical examples: turned and stitched, double-stitched, bound, serger.
Factors when selecting a seam and seam finish:

1. Fabric
- Is it tightly or loosely woven?
- Is it a single knit or double knit? Does the fabric ravel, curl, or roll?
- What is the weight of the fabric: light, medium, or heavy?
- Is it sheer?
2. Use of garment
- Is it sportswear or evening wear?
- How often will it be worn?
3. Care of garment
- Will it be machine-washed, hand-washed, or dry-cleaned?
4. Location of seam/seam finish - Is it curved or straight?

140
- Will it be exposed as in an unlined skirt?

- Will it be enclosed as in a collar seam?
5. Sewing ability and skill

- Are you a novice or an experienced sewer?
6. Equipment
- Do you have only a straight-line stitching sewing machine? - Do you have a serger?
Standards.
A well-constructed seam should be:
• Smooth and even in appearance on the inside and outside parts. (Properly adjust machine
tension, stitch length, and presser foot pressure to suit the fabric and thread. Make sure fabric
does not crease.)
• Do this as well as with its width all throughout.
• Press open or close according to the type of seam and how it should be used in the
construction process.
• If stitched with thread, the thread should be appropriate to the fabric type and fiber content.
(Thread color should match or slightly darker.)
A well-constructed seam finish should:

• be neat and smooth in appearance, without added bulk;
• protect the area and prevent the edge from raveling, stretching, rolling, or curling; and
• not be visible from the right side of the garment.
Seams
Seams may be created with thread by hand or machine (sewing machine and serger) or with
fusion through chemical bonding. When a serger/overlock machine is used to construct a seam,
the fabric edges are finished all in one process. The basic seams are plain, French, and flat-fell.
Unless otherwise stated, a seam is stitched 5/8 –inch from the cut edge. The fabric from the
stitching line to the cut edge is called a seam allowance
1. Plain Seam A plain seam is the simplest seam to make and is the basis for many other
seams. It is a good choice for the novice sewer. This seam can be used on woven and
knit fabrics and on straight or curved areas. It can be constructed by hand or machine. A
seam finish is needed on most woven fabrics, especially when the seam is exposed and
when knit fabric curls or rolls.
Steps:
a. Place the right sides of the fabric together, matching the stitching lines. Pin and/or
hand baste.
141
b. Stitch along the 5/8 -inch seam line. (Stitching may begin and end with backstitching—
stitch forward a few stitches, then backward, and then forward to the end.) A narrow,
open zigzag stitch can be used.
c. Press. Plain seams can be straight-stitched or zigzagged.
2. French The French seam is basically a seam within a seam. It is strong and durable but
should be used only on straight edges.
This seam is used on light-weight woven, sheer, and other delicate fabrics. It is an
excellent choice for see-through fabrics.
French seams can be constructed by hand or sewing machine. Seam finish is not
needed.
3. Flat-Fell (also called flat-felled) This seam is designed for woven fabrics and straight
edges. It is used when constructing sports-wear, men’s and children’s wear, reversible
items, and heavy-duty items requiring strong, durable seams. It is generally made with a
sewing machine and can be difficult to construct on heavy fabric. No seam finish is
necessary.
Steps:
a. Put the wrong sides of the seam allowances together. Stitch along the 5/8-inch
seam line to make a plain seam. Press seam allowance on one side.
b. Trim lower seam allowance (inside seam allowance) about 1/8 -inch.
c. Turn the top seam allowance edge under 1/4-inch. Press.
d. Repeat on the other side of the seam allowance.
Seam Finishes
Seam finishes may also be referred to as “edge” finishes, as they may be used in locations other than
seam allowances. These locations include hem edges and facings. The method of construction is
almost always the same and the goal is to prevent a raw edge from raveling (woven fabric) or curling
(knit fabric).
Edge Stitched - As a seam finish, this technique is reserved primarily for knit fabrics. It is
used to prevent the edges of the fabric from rolling or curling. The finish requires a sewing
machine making it easy to construct. Edge stitching is suitable for straight or curved
seams and edges.
Steps:
a. With right sides of the seam allowances together, prepare a plain seam. Press it open.
b. Take one side of the seam allowance (single thickness) and stitch a line of regulation
using machine stitching (approximately 12 to 14 stitches per inch) about 1/4-inch from
the cut edge.
142
c. Repeat on the other seam allowance. (Stitching along the edge of the seam allowance
prevents rolling or curling.)
Edge Stitched Double-Stitched

The double-stitched finish also begins with a plain seam. It is used for knit fabrics and on
seam allowances that are pressed together to one side and treated as one. It is used to
prevent seam allowances from rolling or curling on lightweight knit fabrics. The technique
is ideal for the beginning sewer and may be done in several ways. It requires a sewing
machine. Some methods require a sewing machine with zigzag or decorative stitch
capability.
Steps:
a. With right sides of the seam allowances together, prepare a plain seam. Press seam
together.
b. Stitch a second row of stitching into the seam allowance area, approximately 1/8-inch
away from first line of stitching. The second row of stitching can be a straight
conventional stitch, a medium-width zigzag, or a machine over-edge/overcast stitch.
NOTE: The machine over-edge stitch is recommended for raveling woven fabrics, not
nits.
c. Press seam to one side. Double-Stitched Machine Zigzag- A large seam allowance
(up to 1 inch) may be allowed when cutting out the garment, since finished seam
allowance will be 1/8- to1/4inch shorter. This finish is used on a plain seam on woven
fabric. It requires a sewing machine with a zigzag stitch capability. The finish is used
on medium- to heavyweight fabrics, including corduroy. The zigzag stitch length
(coverage) must be adjusted to accommodate and prevent fabric raveling. The more
the fabric ravels, the closer together the stitches need to be (tighten or shorten stitch
length).
Steps:
1. With right sides of the seam allowances together, prepare a plain seam. Press it open.
2. Adjust machine to the appropriate zigzag stitch and length.
3. On one seam allowance (single thickness), stitch close to, but not on, fabric edge
(approximately 1/8-inch from raw edge).
4. Trim excess fabric close to the line of stitching. Press. Machine Zigzag Machine Over-Edge
overcast). Some sewing machines have a special over-edge presser foot and/or machine
setting to overcast (sew over) the edges of the fabric without causing the fabric or thread to
jam the machine. If your machine has this capability, use this stitch instead of the machine
zigzag technique previously described. The overcast technique does not need to be trimmed,
nor allow for larger seam allowances when cutting out the garment.
Hand-Overcast This is one of the original methods of finishing seams and edges dating
prior to the invention of the sewing machine. There are occasions when this edge finish is
the most appropriate technique to employ. Hand-over-cast is used on woven fabrics with
143
straight and curved areas. It is also good and necessary in areas not suited to other
finishing techniques, such as L-shaped areas (created at a kick pleat) and V-shaped
areas (created when bulk is removed from a princess-line seam). This stitch is done by
hand rather than by machine. Use a hand needle and single thread to match the fabric
color. It is not difficult but it may take some skill to create uniformed stitches.
Steps:
1. With right sides of the seam allowances together, prepare a plain seam. Press it open.
(This finish can be used with other seams that might require a finish other than the plain
seam, such as the mock flat-fell or the lapped.)
2. Beginning at the end of one seam allowance edge through single fabric thickness, secure
thread on the underneath side of the seam allowance, approximately 1/4-inch from the
edge.
3. Bring needle through from bottom to top side. Position needle underneath fabric edge,
approximately 3/8-inch away from the first stitch.
4. Bring needle and thread through to the right side again. Repeat until the edge is
periodically wrapped in thread. Stitches should be secured to the fabric edge but not tight.
Fabric edge should remain flat and not drawn. The more the fabric tends to ravel, the
closer together your hand stitches should be. CleanFinished (turned under and stitched).
This finish is used not only for seams but also throughout the garment when the fabric is
lightweight. It is not appropriate for heavyweight or knit fabrics because it produces bulk.
Steps:
1. With right sides of the seam allowances together, prepare a plain seam. Press the seam
open.
2. Turn the edge of the seam allowance under approximately 1/8- to1/4-inch. Press.
3. Stitch close to the edge through the folded fabric. Press. NOTE: Cutting at least a 1-inch
seam allowance will allow a finished 5/8-inch seam allowance.

Lesson 6 Preparing Parts for Sewing
Sorting/Bundling
In garment factories, the sorter sorts the patterns according to size and design and makes bundles of
them. This step requires much precision because making bundles of mismatched patterns can create
severe problems. On each bundle there are specifications of the style, size, and the marker attached
with it.
For beginners/learners in school the following steps maybe adopted
1. Put these in a bag.

2. Fuse a piece of fabric large enough for all your interfaced pieces then cut.
3. Tie all the pieces together in a Check seam allowances in all garment parts.
4. Use 1/8” nips to mark your notches. Don’t waste time cutting diamond shapes. Nips are more
accurate and less likely to fray or weaken the seam.
5. Check parts if cleanly cut.
6. Match cloth to the patterns and check number of pieces needed.
7. Check and remove unnecessary pins.
8. Check pattern marks if properly transferred to the garment parts.

Lesson 10: Trimming Techniques for Sleeping Garments
Trim has two meanings in sewing. One is to use a variety of decorative elements or trims to
embellish garments or household items. The other is to
use scissors to trim away excess fabric in areas like seam allowances.
Garment patterns often specify that seam allowances be trimmed to a specified width. A duckbill
scissors is often used to prevent garment damage when trimming seams and beneath
appliqués.

Lesson 11 Labeling of Garments
How to create the perfect clothing label
Often we are asked “What size should I make my clothing label” or “What is the most common size of
woven labels”? While there is no standard size for clothing labels, there are a few tips to keep in mind
to create the perfect label.
Tip 1: Go shopping. Research on other brands that are similar in style and price point to your
design line. You can learn a lot by seeing what others do right and by what they do wrong. Look for
material type, the ‘feel’ of the label, the overall size of the label. Is it too big or not large enough?
Tip 2: Look in your closet. Chances are you have dozens of different types of clothing labels.
You will definitely find woven labels, printed labels, tagless transfers and probably some of your clothes
still have hangtags on them. Take a ruler and get a general idea of the size label that you like and fits
your specifications based on the clothes you love. Remember, you chose them for a reason.
Tip 3: Study your logo/design. You probably already have a logo designed or at least have an
idea in mind. Print out the logo in a few different sizes by scaling the image. Once you’ve printed them
out, take scissors and cut out the images and place them on your clothing or accessory. You will quickly
start to see what looks great and what size is too large or too small for your design. If your logo is tends
to be longer rather than tall, you can consider sewing it on the left and right sides. If the logo is more
square then it works great as a top sewn label.
Tip 4: Don’t forget to add sewing room. When choosing the size, it’s really important to think
about things like – where on the clothing is it going to be sewn because you have to incorporate sewing
allowance space if going into a seam. Otherwise, if you plan on sewing down on all sides then you
won’t need quite as much space.

Thus, during processing the quality control section needs to check each prepared article against these
defects.
162
·Final Inspection
For the textile and apparel industry, product quality is calculated in terms of quality and standard of fibers,
yarns, fabric construction, color fastness, designs and the final finished garments. Quality control in terms
of garment manufacturing, pre-sales and posts sales service, delivery, pricing, etc are essential for any
garment manufacturer, trader or exporter. Certain quality related problems, often seen in garment
manufacturing like sewing, color, sizing, or garment defects should never be overlooked.
Sewing defects
Open seams, wrong stitching techniques, nonmatching threads, missing stitches, improper creasing of
the garment, erroneous thread tension and raw edges are some of the sewing defects which can affect
the garment quality adversely.
Color defects
Variation of color between the sample and the final garment, wrong color combinations and
mismatching dyes should always be avoided.
Sizing defects
Wrong gradation of sizes, difference in measurement of various parts of a garment like sleeves of XL size
for body of L size garment can deteriorate the garments beyond repair.
Garment defects

How do you feel about your score? Is it high? Fair or you really need to explore
more? Don’t worry! As long as you keep on trying to be an expert in making dresses,
you will soon have an outstanding score in the tests. G o o d l u c k !
Lesson 1 Designs of Children’s Wear
When was the last time you had an inventory with your clothes inside your cabinet or closet? Do
you still remember your favorite dress you frequently wore when you were still a toddler or a preschooler?
Why did you like it very much? What were the features that pleased you so much? Was it because of the
color? How about the style? The pocket where you put your little things in it? Or was it because of the
big ribbon at your back?
How lovely and cute those little ones when they put on their dresses with bright colors and lively
prints. Do you still have one?
In choosing the designs for the children’s dress, there are special sewing hints that we must
always remember.
Special sewing hints for children’s dress

1. For durability, substitute machine for hand stitches wherever it is practical and not unsightly to do
so baste down facings.
2. For extra strength, stitch areas of strain, such as armholes, twice.
3. For ease in handling really small garments, attach the sleeves before closing the underarm
seam.
4. For ease of care, choose fabric that are washable; also check the care requirements of white or
pastel colors. Although cottons and synthetic blends are usually the first choices for children’s
garments, washable wools are also suitable.
5. To please the child, pick bright colors and lively prints. Large designs can be overwhelming.
6. For convenience, always provide a pocket or two. Children like places to keep small
possessions.
171
7. A good safety precaution is to have reflective tape strips to outer garments, especially if they are
dark in color.
8. To make handed-down garment different for the younger brother or sister, add a special
appliqué, pockets or monogram. Also consider changing the garment style; could a dress with
sleeves be made into a pinafore for the new owner?

B. Directions: Recall/Look back at the different pictures of children’s wear presented, design one either

Lesson 2 Characteristics of a Well-fitted Children’s Wear
Selection
When selecting clothing for young children, toddlers’ and preschoolers’ always consider the
physical characteristics and the comfort they give to the children.
A. Toddlers
1. Look for soft, unstructured styles that allow maximum freedom of movement, such as one-piece
garments that fall from the shoulder. These are also practical because toddlers wear diapers and
have not developed a waistline.
2. Leg openings with snaps on toddlers’ pants help make changing diapers easier.
173
3. For necklines, select collarless styles or flat collars, such as Peter pan and convertible collars.
4. Avoid collars that may bind or restrict movement, such as a high button collar.
5. When toddlers are first learning to dress, pull-on garments with large neck and armhole openings
are the easiest to manipulate. Because the toddler is always on the move.
6. Design features should be functional as well as decorative. For example, shoulder straps should
criss-cross in the back to prevent them from sliding off shoulders.
7. Shoulder tabs on shirts are another way to secure straps.
B. PreSchoolers
1. Look for styles that allow preschoolers to move and jump about freely.
2. Pockets are important features because preschoolers need places for the treasures they collect.
3. Shoulder tabs on shirts are still valuable.
4. When selecting a garment with long sleeves, avoid buttoned cuffs that restrict movement.
5. Jumpsuits are practical garments for preschoolers because they allow for mobility and will
maintain a neat appearance.
6. Preschoolers can also wear pants and skirts with elasticized waists because their waistlines
have become more defined.
SPECIAL FEATURES
A. Growth features - are important because children grow rapidly. Children tend to grow faster in
height than in width; therefore, the length of waist, arms, and legs will change more quickly than
the width of shoulders, chest, and hips. Select clothing that allows for growth. Look for features
such as one-piece garments without a waistline; raglan, kimono, or sleeveless designs;
adjustable shoulder straps; and elasticized waistlines. Two-piece outfits and wrap styles will also
allow room for growth.
To promote self-dressing and prevent bathroom accidents, closures should be on the front of
garments so children can see the fasteners and manipulate them easily.
Select or adapt closures that are easy for young children to manipulate.
Zippers can be easy for a child to operate if a charm or string is added to the pull tab.
174
Buttons that are large or have a shank are easier to grasp. Many types of decorative
buttons are available to add interest to children’s clothing. Avoid buttons with irregular
edges as these are more difficult than smooth, round buttons to manipulate.
Hook and loop fastener tape is easy to manipulate and can be used in place of buttons or
snaps. It is available by the centimeter or inch, in pre-cut shapes, and in a variety of
colors.
Gripper snaps are easier to manipulate than regular snaps.
Safety features should also be considered when selecting clothing for children.
Avoid styles with long, flowing skirts; tie belts; drawstrings; or very full sleeves
that may cause children to trip or get tangled.

and freshness in hot weather. It is also very absorbent, but wrinkles
easily unless blended with manufactured fibers.
6. Organza
A thin, plain-weave, sheer fabric is traditionally made from silk, the
continuous filament of silkworms.

textiles. Silk is smooth, glossy and beautiful. It is also strong and
vulnerable to fading and stains.
8. Tulle and Netting

be made of various fibers, including silk, nylon and rayon. Tulle
is most commonly used for veils, gowns (particularly
wedding gowns) and ballet tutus.
9. Challis
A type of plain-weave fabric, usually made from cotton, wool or
rayon, often printed with a design, often floral. Used to make
dresses, skirts and other articles of clothing.
177
10. Chiffon
A lightweight, plain-woven, sheer fabric. Chiffon can be dyed to
almost any shade desired, however, if made from polyester, it
is difficult to dye. Chiffon is most commonly used in evening wear,
especially as an overlay, giving an elegant and floating
appearance to the gown. It is also a
popular fabric used in blouses, ribbons, scarves and lingerie. Like
other crepe fabrics, chiffon can be difficult to work with because of its light and slippery textures.
It should only be hand-washed.

Skirt is a part of the garments worn around the waist. Skirts have been in fashion for centuries,
though their styles and patterns have got evolved with the time. And the best part about skirts is you
can wear them at any occasion, whether you have to dress formally or simply in casuals. While straight
and pleated skirts impart a sophisticated look to the women.
184
Bubble Skirt is gathered at the waist and

provided with lining to hold the hem and
gather inward the hem ends to have a full
effect.
A-line skirts
This is the basic skirt that has been
customized to a great extent. With slight flare
having rough shape of capital letter ‘A’, it fits at
the waist while slightly touching hips and
thighs; it is broader at the hem.
Flared /Balloon or
Semi-Balloon
Skirts
Actually Flared skirts
are A-line skirts,
but they have extra
flare which
beautifully covers
the fat over hips
and thighs.
Women who are
thin can also try
this out in large
prints as it will give
a voluptuous
appearance.
185
Pencil Skirts
Hugged to the body from the waist to just
above the knee, these skirts come in
stretch material and with a back slit at
times. Such skirts go only with slim and
skinny figures as they emphasize the hips
and the derriere.
Tube Skirts
Simply the longer versions of the pencil skirts,
Tube skirts fit at the hip and taper at the
hem. The visible difference is that they go
down below the knee. It suits slim figures.
Pleated Skirts
Plated skirts appear best in short length, just
above the knees. The flare of this skirt is
reduced by plates and it fits the waist. It
looks nice on both, slim and a little plump
figures.
Sheered or gathered skirt cut straight

fabric gathered to fit the waistline of the
wearer.
Peplum Skirt a skirt cut fitted from the

waist to hip1 or hip2 then combined with
flared or pleated fabrics below to give
fullness from hip down.
186
Collots it is a combination of shorts and

skirts usually loose at the bottom
Tiered skirt Tailored with two or three

layers of gathers of graduated width

4.4 Facings and interfacings
Facings are pieces of cloth attached at the edge of the garment to prevent from raveling, for
reinforcement, for decoration, and for special purposes.
Your guide probably tells you how to lay these pattern pieces out on the interfacing.
• Lay the fabric pieces out on your interfacing. The wrong side of the fabric should be against the
interfacing. If you are using fusible interfacing, have the fusible side up, toward the fabric.
• Pin the facing pieces down, and cut out the interfacing. Your facing pieces are ready for the next
step. For fusible interfacing, trim about ½″ of the interfacing away from around the edges, then
follow the manufacturer's directions to attach the interfacing.
• For non-fusible interfacing, stitch ½″ from all the edges. Trim the interfacing ¼″ from the outside
edge and close to the stitching the rest of the way around each piece.
• If your fabric is very flimsy, and you are not sure you are laying the pieces out flat, use the
pattern pieces to cut the interfacing, then pin the interfacing to the wrong side of the fabric
pieces.
Types of Facings
• Bias facing is a piece of cloth cut 45 degrees angle and attached at the edge of the
garment especially in the curve parts like necklines and armholes. This can be used in
straight edges for decorative purposes and reinforcement of fabric edge.
• Fitted facing is cut in the same shape as the part to be used. Either worn inside or
outside of the garment
• Straight facing is specifically cut for straight edges for smoother result.
Review of Lesson 4.4 Facings and Interfacings
Directions: Get a partner and examine the garments hang in the four corner of the
room. Identify which part of the garment you can see facings.
Explain the purpose of the facing as used in the garment.
Lesson 4.5 Pockets
188
How many times we have seen a pocket but did we think about its technical details. A
fashion designer and a pattern master have to keep in mind about different types of pockets as
for different garments the requirement of pockets changes. It is important that pocket size,
shape, and placement should complement the design of the garment. Pocket is a pouch that has
a closed end is usually stitched on a garment or even inside the garment. Pocket can be both
functional and decorative purpose. Pocket helps in holding and small article temporarily. It is
important that pocket size, shape, and placement should complement the design of the garment.
Patch pockets are flat pockets sewn to the exterior of a garment. They are typically
unfitted, and can come in a range of shapes and sizes. Many garments are made
with patch pockets, since they are cheap and relatively easy to install when
compared to other pocket designs. It is also possible to add patch pockets to an
existing garment, should the need arise. Since patch pockets are external, they are
also potentially endlessly configurable, which can be rather convenient.
Seam pocket is
sewn on the inside
of a garment with its
pocket opening
sewn outside of the
garments.
189
Welt Pocket is a
small, flat pocket
that is commonly
used on the
exterior and interior
breast on a man's
suit jacket, back of
men's trousers and
en's suit jacket.
Review of Lesson 4.4 Facings and Interfacings
Directions: Collect pictures of different accessories and accents for children’s wear. Label them and
paste on a short-size bond paper.
Lesson 5 Project Plan for Children’s Wear
Construction of sleeping garment is just like cooking a recipe for a party that requires careful
planning. In every task or project you have, it should be accompanied with a project plan. This serves as
a guide in making any kind of project. It contains the materials and tools to be used, design, and procedure
in making the project and the criteria for evaluating the finish output coupled with a rubrics designed by
the teacher and students.
Components of a Project Plan
12. Project Plan No. – it reflects the number of projects made by the student
13. Date Begun – date when the construction of the project starts.
14.Date Finished – the exact date when the project will be done.
15. Name of the Project – a specific description of the job.
16. Objectives - states the purpose why a project should be done. This is usually stated in three
learning domains; the cognitive, psychomotor and affective.
17. Word Study – it unlocks the terms used operationally and conceptually.
18. Tools and Equipment – are list of tools and equipment in the accomplishment of the job.
19. Materials and Supplies Needed – it is the itemized list of tools and supplies needed to produce a
project.
a. Quantity suggest the amount needed
b. Unit is the unit of measure of the quantity
c. Description is the features and characteristics of the materials and supply needed
d. Unit Cost is the selling price per quantity and unit of the materials
e. Total Cost is the total amount needed per quantity of supply and material needed,
f. Total is the over-all total cost of all the supplies and materials to be used.
190
20. Design Specifications – is the photographic representation of the project in two to five views;
front, back, right, left and top views.
21. Procedure – is the chronological step or operations involved to accomplish the project. This is
divided into two stages:
a. Preparation stage – depicts the preparation to be done before the actual execution
or performance of the operations.
b. Performance stage – the actual procedures involve in the actual making of the
project where all tools, supplies, materials and equipment intended to make the
project are ready.
22. Evaluation – the process of assessing the finished project using the identified criteria during
planning and evaluating using the prepared scoring rubrics.

Lesson 6 Body Measurements for Children’s Wear
Children’s wear requires a specific measurements achieve the designed identified by the
customers.
There is no probably no sewing activity so immediately satisfying as sewing for children. You get quick
results for one thing, because the garments have smaller dimensions. Also, more shortcuts can be taken
in techniques. Children’s garments should be constructed to survive vigorously activity and endless
washings. Other special considerations include providing room for sudden growth spurts, and planning
garment that are easy to put on. Size range charts

Lesson 9 Manipulating Basic/Block Pattern for Children’s Wear
Providing room for children to grow

Three ways are described on this page to build some provision for sudden growth spurts
into children’s garments.
223
1. A hem tuck introduces extra fabric

into a skirt or dress hem without
adding too much extra bulk. To
make a hem tuck, add ¾ inch to 4
inches of extra hem allowance
when cutting garment. Mark
hemline, then make the tuck within
hem allowance, far enough above
the hem edge so that it will not
show. Sew tuck with the most
easily removed stitch on your
machine. Complete the hem;
press tuck toward hemline. To
lengthen garment, release the tuck
stitching and either restitch a
narrower tuck or use all of the tuck
allowance.
2. A bodice tuck is a way of providing

extra length in the waist-to-shoulder
area. This tuck is made before the
zipper is inserted; to release the
tuck, zipper stitching must be taken
out to the bottom of the placket.
The extra length that the released
tuck adds to the center back seam
will make the zipper space too long.
To remedy this, sew up a part of
the seam at placket bottom equal to
tuck depth. Restitch zipper. To
make a bodice tuck, add a 1 ½ inch
to bodice length; cut out garment.
On the wrong side of each bodice
section, mark a tuck foldline ¾ inch
in above waist seam. Stitch bodice
to skirt, then fold along tuck foldline
and press. With skirt up, baste
trough waist seam and folded
bodice. Machine-stitch just below
waist seamline, using most easily
removed stitch. Press tuck and
seam allowances toward bodice.
224
3. An expandable waistline can be

made for any garment by adding
extra fabric to the waistline, then
controlling the fit with elastic. This
is particularly suited to children’s
wear because it makes movement
less constricted as well as allowing
for growth. The elastic is generally
put only in the back waist seam.
Omit any in the back bodice dart in
the back bodice or skirt.
To make such a waistline, first add
½ inch into the side seams at waist,
front and back, on bodice and skirt.
Taper to original cutting line at hip
and chest.
Construct garment as usual; it will
be about 1 ½ inch too big in the
waist. Sew a casing of bias binding
to the back waist seam allowances;
insert a length of narrow elastic;
secure elastic ends at center back
and side seams.

Lesson 1. Pre-Assembling Procedure
Points to Remember in Pre- Assembling Garments
1. Sew continuously. Butt pieces end to end and stitch from one seam to another. Cut them
apart when you get to the pressing station.
2. Sew as many seams as possible before pressing. Stop sewing only when you have to cross
another seam that should be pressed open first.
3. Perform similar operations at the same time and sew flat. Sew the details first. Set these
aside. Then start assembling the garment. Complete as much as you can before joining side
seams. Sewing in a tube is more time consuming than sewing flat.
4. Sew buttonholes first and use them to mark the location for buttons. Cut buttonholes open
with a punch instead of a seam ripper.
5. Don’t pin. Pins slow you down, distort your seams and damage your needle. Instead use both
hands to sew. Match the corners at the beginning and end of your seams then keep your raw
edges matched as you sew.
6. Press. Press all your seams open on woven garments before any other pressing or stitching
over them. Use a steam iron. Even better, use a clapper to push the steam into the seam for a
clean, flat look. Use a press cloth on the garment’s right side.
245
7. For the final press, press the details first — collars, cuffs, and waistbands — then sleeves
then the body. Press buttons from the wrong side. Let pressed areas cool before moving on to
the next section.
8. Fuse a piece of fabric large enough for all your interfaced pieces then cut those.
Lesson 2. Techniques in Pressing Children’s Wear
Draper said that iron should be as important as our sewing machine. Why? It is because, as
we sew, we are pressing our garment. Like in the previous lesson, sewing the sleeping garment, the
procedure employed in it is the same as in sewing the children’s wear. To press the parts of the
garment is important. The seams you sew give your garments their shape. Proper pressing molds
this shape and it gives our sewing a finished look.
Wrinkles and creases in the fabric must be pressed out to save time, plan your stitching and
pressing in units. Remember not to sew across a seam until it is pressed. Never press over a pin,
and press in a lower temperature,
Techniques in Pressing Seam

1. Press the seam flat along the stitching line to blend the stitches.
2. Press the seam allowances open or to one side, as indicated in the pattern instructions.
3. Press the seam or detail area from the right side. If necessary, protect
the fabric with a press cloth.
Pressing Equipment Needed
- Flat Iron
- Sturdy ironing board with a clean, padded surface
- Fabric guide for choosing the proper temperature setting.
- Seam roll for pressing seams open on long cylindrical sections
- Press cloth is a piece of fabric used when applying more heat than you usually would to protect
your fabric from direct contact with a hot iron to prevent scorching the fabric.
- Hams and sleeve rolls are very firmly packed pillow type curved objects commonly used if you
will be sewing clothing and pressing baby clothes or doll clothes.
- Presser bars are sticks of wood with a flattened end. They work well to hand press small seams
on craft objects or when an area is totally impossible to reach with an iron.

247
The pattern marks that you transferred into the cloth will give the sewing steps needed to make
your children’s dress. The sewing steps may be numbered and called “Units” which is a section of the
garment. Each unit includes the construction steps to do before going on to the next unit. Soon you will
be joining the completed units into a finished garment. Remember that the section may require
staystitching, sewing darts and seams. Construction markings will show you the steps to complete each
unit or section.

Lesson 7 Fasteners
In buying your clothes, do you consider the kind of fastener that is attached into it? What different
kinds of fastener do you have on your clothes? Which ones are easiest to use? Which ones do you
think look best in your clothes?
In constructing the children’s wear, the safety and comfort of the children must be considered.
The best fastener suited for the children’s wear not just brings beauty in the dress but it must be easily
fastened or unfastened. Some are examples of fasteners:
Types of Fasteners
Buttons
Buttons are the most common fastener used in
different types of garments. Buttons are those
with shank and with 2 or four holes. They are
used as fastener or decorations.
Ways of attaching Buttons
1. Square
2. Parallel
3. Cross
4. Arrow head
5. Common way
258
Snaps
Snaps are used on flat surface where
there is a little stain. These are
commonly used for baby dresses.
Zipper
Zipper, otherwise known as a slide fastener, is
used to close-openings in many different types
of garments. It is mostly used in skirts and
pants. Zippers are made with metal teeth or
coils of nylon or polyester that mesh together.
Hook-and-Eye
Hook-and-eye is used to fasten opening
which has considerable strain. Belts and
neck openings use hook-and-eyes.
There are two kinds of eyes – the round
and straight. The round eye is used
where the edges of the opening just
meet, while the straight eye is used on
edges laps. Sometimes a thread loop is
used on a straight eye if a very flat
closing is desired.

Lesson 9 Pressing Finished Garment
How to Iron Clothes
Most people do not enjoy ironing clothes. In fact, it is widely considered to be an unavoidable chore
by most. However, the reluctance of many to iron clothes is simply caused by a failure of
understanding how to iron clothes properly. Learning the right steps to ironing clothes should make
the process a bit easier for you.
Steps in ironing clothes
• plug the iron in
• adjust it to the correct setting
• allow it to preheat. You will know your iron is ready for use if it sizzles when you
spray a bit of water on it.
• Locate the tag on the garment you are preparing to iron. It will provide you with
information about the material.
Some clothes, you will find, should not be ironed. Others have a very low tolerance for heat,
so you'll have to iron them at a gentle setting. Use high heat for cotton and linen. Cotton mixes and
wool are ironed on a medium level. Use a low setting for silk, nylon, polyester, and other like fabrics.
If you are using a steam iron, make sure there is the proper amount of water inside.
When you actually begin to iron, take your time to ensure the garment has been stretched flat
across the ironing board. This will save you some time in terms of re-ironing wrinkles that you put in.
As you iron, make sure to iron clothing evenly with smooth, careful strokes. Always remember to keep
the iron moving. Stopping at any point could burn your clothing. How to Iron Shirts
• Start the process by ironing the collar. Stretch the back of it across the flat
surface of the board. Run the iron over the back of the collar several times until
you are sure it is correctly pressed. Turn the shirt over and handle the front of the
collar.
• Move to the sleeves of the garment. You need to be sure to iron the back of the
sleeves first, then move to the front of the sleeves. Start by stretching the larger
part of the sleeves across the point of the ironing board. Iron all the way around
the back of the sleeves, then move it toward the sleeve front until you have
ironed the circumference of the sleeve. Stretch the lower back of the sleeve
across the large, flat surface of the ironing board. Iron toward the cuffs. Flip the
shirt over and do the front, making sure to take careful, short strokes.
266
• When you get ready to handle the rest of the shirt, lay it as flat as possible on the
ironing board. Work from one side to the other slowly smoothing out the wrinkled
spots as you go.
• Hang the shirt directly after you finish ironing. Be sure to button the top and
center buttons.
How to Iron Dresses
• Begin by stretching the skirt portion of the dress across the point of the ironing board. If you are
working with pleats, start at the bottom and work toward the top. Work your way around the skirt
with strong, fast strokes. If the top of the dress won't stretch across the point of the ironing
board, smooth it as flat as possible across the large, flat surface of the board. Start with the back
and work your way to the front. On each side, be sure to work from the top down.
• Hang the dress as soon as possible after you iron it. Try not to wear the garment for a few hours,
as it will be more prone to wrinkling again once you've heated the fibers.
Ironing clothes is really a delicate process. The iron produces so much heat that if you are not
sure how to iron clothes, you should really get educated on the process before you start. It’s not as
simple as flopping a shirt on an ironing board. It takes effort to learn how to iron like a professional.
For some people it takes a long time, but if you learn how to iron, you can cut the time you spend
ironing

Lesson 10 Application of Heat and Pressure
Pressure Applied when Pressing
Generally, light to moderate pressure is sufficient if your iron is at the correct temperature. Too much
pressure can cause the cut edge of a seam to make a "bad impression" on the right side of your fabric.
If you use too much pressure when working on velvet or other nap fabrics (corduroy, velour, etc.) you
may flatten the nap. Also, if you press too hard on the right side of your fabric you may scorch it or
make shine marks. Using a press cloth can help to avoid this problem. It's also a good idea to "test
press" on scraps of your fabric to be sure you are using the optimum iron temperature and pressure.

Lesson 11 Evaluation of Finished Children’s Wear
Inspection:
Open seams, wrong stitching techniques, nonmatching threads, and missing stitches, improper creasing
of the garment, erroneous thread tension and raw edges are some of the sewing defects which can affect
the garment quality adversely. During processing the quality control section needs to check each
prepared article against these defects.
· Final Inspection:
269
For the textile and apparel industry, product quality is calculated in terms of quality and standard of fibers,
yarns, fabric construction, color fastness, designs and the final finished garments. Quality control in terms
of garment manufacturing, pre-sales and posts sales service, delivery, pricing, etc are essential for any
garment manufacturer, trader or exporter. Certain quality related problems, often seen in garment
manufacturing like sewing, color, sizing, or garment defects should never be over looked.
Sewing defects
Open seams, wrong stitching techniques, nonmatching threads, missing stitches, improper creasing of
the garment, erroneous thread tension and raw edges are some of the sewing defects which can affect
the garment quality adversely.
Color defects
Variation of color between the sample and the final garment, wrong color combinations and
mismatching dyes should always be avoided.
Sizing defects
Wrong gradation of sizes, difference in measurement of various parts of a garment like sleeves of XL size
for body of L size garment can deteriorate the garments beyond repair.
Garment defects
Broken or defective buttons, snaps, stitches, different shades within the same garment, dropped stitches,
exposed notches and raw edges, fabric defects, holes, faulty zippers, loose or hanging sewing threads,
misaligned buttons and holes, missing buttons, needle cuts or chews, pulled or loose yarn, stains,
unfinished buttonhole, short zippers, inappropriate trimmings etc. all can lead to the end of a brand name
even before its establishment.
