Laying Out Pattern Pieces for Ladies Trousers

The fabric for the trouser should be pre-shrunk and pressed to ensure that there will be
no more shrinkage after it has been cut and sewn. The grainline should be straightened. When
laying out, cutting, and sewing, pay close attention to the lines and contours of the fabric print or
design, and see to it that they align and match at appropriate points for the best appearance of the
finished garment.

1. Lay the fabric out on a smooth, hard surface.

2. Lay-out the larger pieces of pattern first followed by smaller ones.

3. Lay-out the patterns on the wrong side of the fabrics
4. Always follow the lengthwise grain of the fabric when lay-outing the patterns.
5. Use sharp pins to pin the pattern pieces to the fabric.

Transferrring of Marks onto the Fabric

1. Use tailor’s chalks to mark all darts, tucks, crotch seams, and outseams at waistline and hem.
Mark original seamsline on crotch seam with hand basting.
2. Stay stitch the waistline ¼ inch outside the seamline. Stay stitch the seamlines at the pocket,
the
length of the zipper. Do not stay stitch the crotch seam.
3. Baste the lengthwise and crosswise grainlines with contrasting colored thread if the fabric is not
a plaid. Put the crosswise grainlines at a right angle to the lengthwise grainline at the seven-inch
hipline marking, the crotch, and the knee.
4. Identify the lines in the plaid that are the lengthwise and crosswise
grainlines. Safety pins can be used for this identification.
5. Press the creases before basting the garment together. Fold on the lengthwise grainline and
baste. When pressing the crease, lay the fold on a plaid press cloth and use a line in the fabric
as
a guide to help you keep the crease straight. If you do not have a plaid press cloth, lay the fold
against a yard stick and press. In the front, press only to the point of the dart.

Cutting the Fabric

1. Cut out the fabric using the pattern pieces as a guide.

2. Mark the pattern pieces front and back using a washable marking pen or marking pencil. Also,
pin the pieces. Use two pins to mark the front and one pin to mark the back pieces.
3. Use scissors to cut the triangles or waistline markings. Cut them out as this will help match
pattern
pieces.
4. Cut with the grain. Cut the waistband exactly on grain, twice the width of the Grosgrain plus
¼inch,
and 5 inches longer than the waist measurement. The waistband in plaid fabrics may be cut
either on the lengthwise or on the
crosswise grain, depending on the design.
5. Cut the lining after the first fitting in case the pattern has to be altered.
6. Edge finish then, cut out pattern pieces using a zig zag or serging stitch
