What I Need to Know

Technology and Livelihood Education (TLE) is one of the curricula in the implementation of
the K to 12 Basic Education Program of the Department of Education which composed of
four components such as Agri-fishery Arts, Home Economics, Industrial Arts and Information
and Communication Technology. Dressmaking is one of the specializations in Home
Economics which cater students’ skills and talents. It is very essential in creating a
productive student which can be used in making their lives fruitful in the society.

The subject offers a different and related activity that provides the student the opportunities
to enhance their skills in dressmaking which will be useful in their search for jobs and be part
of the dressmaking provider sector.

This module was designed and written to aid students to master key ideas and terminology
in dressmaking. It will guide you to fully understand the concept in dressmaking which later
on be used in your quest for source of living.
This module covers the important concepts of producing ladies skirts. This includes one
learning competency; prepare and cut materials for ladies skirts.

Directions: Select 2 kinds of ladies skirts from activity 1, lay out the pattern and paste it
on a manila paper for checking.

What is It

Steps in Preparing the Fabric before Cutting it

1. Fold the cloth neatly and soak it in a basin of water overnight.

2. Hang the cloth and let it dry.
3. If the cloth is not smooth when it dries, pressing is necessary.
4. If the cloth gets out of shape, straighten it by stretching it diagonally. Stretch and pull
gently but firmly until the edge and selvages are even when the material is folded in
half lengthwise.

Principles of Laying Out Pattern Pieces on the Fabric

Patterns are laid out on the fabric to determine if the cloth is enough for all the
pattern pieces. The process is known as pattern layout. In this method, lay out all pattern
pieces in various positions on the fabric by trial and error until they all fit on the cloth. When
all pattern pieces have been laid out, pin them securely on the fabric.

Determining the Right and the Wrong Side of a Fabric

In layout making, first you need to determine the right side and the wrong side of
the fabric. Fabric with printed designs is easy to identify but difficult for fabrics with plain
colors because they are reversible. Tips to help you determine the right and the wrong side
of the fabric:
1. The selvage, or the finished edge of the fabric is smoother on the right side.
2. Loose thread ends can be found on the wrong side of the fabric.
3. Fabrics are folded right side in.
4. Prints are clearer and brighter on the right side.

Four Kinds of Fabric Folds

Deciding what kind of fold to use is based on the width of the fabric and to the
design of the garment.
1. Lengthwise centerfold- The fabric is folded lengthwise at the center with selvages
together.
2. Crosswise centerfold- The fabric is folded crosswise at the center with the raw
edges together.
3. Off-center lengthwise fold- The fabric is folded lengthwise with the raw edges
meeting at the center.
4. Off-center crosswise fold- The fabric is folded crosswise with the raw edges
meeting at the center.

5
Dress with structural design

Laying Out Pattern Pieces

Depending on the fabric’s width, be sure to fold the fabric on grain. Be sure to put
in and mark the necessary allowances on all parts of the garment. Mark the allowances with
tailor’s chalk or with colored pencil. These allowances are represented by broken lines in the
illustrations. Cut along markings of the allowances. The amount of fabric needed will depend
on the width of the fabric and the length and style of the skirt.

Pointers in Laying out Patterns

1. Make a temporary pattern layout especially if the fabric is too small.

2. Determine the right side of the fabric.
3. Fold the fabric with the right side in and the wrong side out on a lengthwise
centerfold.
4. Always make your layout on the wrong side of the fabric. Pattern markings should not
be seen on the right side.
5. Lay out big pattern pieces first. Fit the small pattern pieces in between the large
pieces. Fit the pieces close together to avoid wastage.
6. Check the design and grain line of the patterns that will correspond to those of the
fabric.
7. Pin the patterns in place. Pins should be placed outward perpendicular to the seam
line and along the seam allowance space.

How to Layout the Pattern of the Four Darted Skirt with Waistline Facing and Overlap
Slit on the Fabric

1. Fold the fabric with two inches (5cm.), jutting out of the under laying fabric. Layout
and pin the patterns of the front and back skirt. The center front of the front skirt
pattern is joined on the fold of the fabric. The center back of the back skirt is pinned
1 inch (2.5cm.) away from the edge of the upper fabric. The 1 inch (2.5cm.)
allowance is for the fold of the overlap slit.

7
2. Mark the needed sewing allowances. Mark the desired length of the overlap 6 to 8
inches long (15.5 to 20.5cm.).
3. Cut along the sewing allowances.
4. For the overlap slit, cut excess fabric as shown the illustration above, and just
leave the allowances needed for the overlap slit.
5. Mark the sewing lines.

What I Have Learned

Think and Discuss!

✓ In laying out pattern, which pattern should be laid out, the big pattern pieces
or the small pattern pieces? Why?
✓ How can you determine the right and the wrong side of the fabric?
✓ How should you lay patterns to avoid wasted of cloth?

KEY CONCEPTS

➢ Some of the criteria in judging a finished product are:

• Is garment fits perfectly
• Holds its shape, and
• Hangs well
➢ Pattern layout-is a process where patterns are laid out on the fabric to determine if
the cloth is enough for all the pattern pieces.

➢ Before making a layout, determine the right side and the wrong side of the fabric.
Fabric with printed designs is easy to identify but difficult for fabrics with plain colors
because they are reversible.

➢ Four Kinds of Fabric Folds

• Lengthwise centerfold
• Crosswise centerfold

11
• Off-center lengthwise fold
• Off-center crosswise fold

What I Can Do

➢ Activity 5: Layout selected pattern of skirt!

Directions: Layout the fabrics selected pattern of ladies’ skirt properly. Check
whether the fabric is in right position. Paste it on manila paper for submission.

Assessment
TRUE OR FALSE

Directions. Write True if the statement is correct and False if the statement is
wrong. Write your answer in your notebook.

1. Lay-out helps determine if the patterns are enough for the fabric.
2. In transferring marks onto the fabric, start with the small pattern pieces to finish
the job earlier.
3. Patterns are laid out on the fabric to determine if the cloth is enough for all the
pattern pieces.
4. When all pattern pieces have been laid out, mark them securely on the fabric.
5. Fabric with printed designs is easy to identify but difficult for fabrics with plain
colors because they are reversible.
6. The amount of fabric needed will depend on the width and length of the fabric as
well the style of the skirt.
7. Make a permanent pattern layout if the fabric is too small.
8. Always make your layout on the wrong side of the fabric. Pattern markings should
not be seen on the right side.
9. Mark the needed sewing allowances. Mark the desired length of the overlap 6 to 8
inches long (15.5 to 20.5cm.).
10. Loose thread ends can be found on the right side of the fabric.
