Most Essential Learning Competency (MELC): TLE_HEDS9-12SG-IIh-j-4

• Produce Sleeping Garments
Objectives:
1. Explain the types of pattern;
2. Discuss how to draft block pattern; and
3. Draft and lay out basic / block pattern.

THINKING OVER

Learning Task 1:
1. What are the different body parts need to be measure for sleeping garments?
2. How to take the measurement of shoulder?
Learning Task 2:
Types of Patterns
1. Block pattern - This is sometimes called “sloper” meaning it is not straight. It is slanting
from the left downward and upward.
2. Flat Pattern Design - is working out the pattern of a garment either in the material itself
or by cutting a pattern using the foundation pattern as a basis.
3. Neckline and armhole curves are shallow.
4. Bust line- is narrower than the front except for persons who have prominent blades and
small busts.
5. Bodice length- is shorter than the front except for persons who have prominent blades
and small busts.
Procedure for basic bodice Front and Back for Sleeping Garments
1. A – starting point
2. AB- measure 3 inches down ward neck depth
3. AC – measure 5 ½ inches chest height.
4. AD -1/2 of arm hole divide by 2.
5. AE- Figure length. Project point B, C, D and E to the right using ruler
6. AF-Use ½ shoulder measurement divide by 2.
7. GH- down ward measure 1 ½ inches draw a straight line
8. FH- connect diagonal line using ruler
9. CI-going to the right, measure ½ chest measurement chest
10. HI –connect with diagonal line
11. DJ- ¼ inch bust measurement + 1.
12. Shape the armhole using French curve
13. EK- ¼ inch waist measurement +1 ½ inches. Connect J to K with diagonal line
14. To get L measure the bust height
15. To get M measure ½ inch bust distance
16. MN=MO ¾ inch, connect L to M, L to O, L to N using straight line (for the Dart)
17. Fold the Dart then make a straight line to E to K.
18. FOR the back Bodice, Trace the front bodice as a guide.
19. 1. measure 1 inch neck depth
20. Shape F to A with the use of French curve
21. Raise ½ inch from H. Then connect to F2.
22. From I- 3. Going to the right add ½ inch.
23. From J measure ½ inc. In.
24. From K going to the left measure ½ inch. Then connect with diagonal line.
25. From point L measure up ward 1 inch. Then connect with straight line.

SLEEVE:
From A to B is ¼ of the breast ,minus ¼ inch.
From B to C is ½ of the breast, plus 1 inch. If pleated
From A to D is the sleeve length, plus ½ inch.
From D to E is the sleeve width, plus 1/8 inch.

COLLAR :
AB= 2 inches
BC=1/2 neck measurement
AD=BC
DE=1/2 inch. Out
CF= raise ¼ inch.

Steps
1. Spread out a manila paper or cardboard on the table top.
2. Place cut fabrics with the pattern remained intact.
3. Transfer the pins to the inner side of the material.
4. Place a ruler along a straight seam line, lift the pattern slightly and mark the cloth using
the tailor’s chalk or pencil. Use French curve instead of a ruler on curved edges.
5. Mark X on the wrong side especially on plain fabric so that right side can hardly be
identified.
How to Transfer the Dart Location
Dart location is transferred using pins and a pencil.
1. Mark the points using a pin.
2. Draw the dart using a ruler and tracing pencil from the beginning of the

Page 2 of 4
 point to the center and end point. You may draw the line on one side of the
dart only.
3. Repeat on the other side. This time, you have to detach the pattern. Make
sure, you do not mark the right side of the marks.

Pattern - It is usually one-half or one-fourth of the garment cut paper to be used as a guide in
sewing.
Lay out - To trim the seam allowance to different widths to reduce bulk of fabric.
Bodice –The part of a garment above the waistline.
Clip - A short cut made with the point of a pair of scissors into the seam allowance.
Bias – Any direction on a fabric that not exactly follow a lengthwise or crosswise yarn.
Baste –A temporary stitch by machine or hand.
Alter – to change a pattern so that it corresponds to body measurements.
Lay out - To arrange the pattern pieces to the fabric.
Placket - A finished opening in a garment made for convenience in putting on the garment.
Notch- A V shaped marking on the edge of pattern pieces to indicate matching locations along
a seam lines.
