What I Know

Hey there! As a dressmaking enthusiast, I bet you are very eager to start to draft your
own sleeping garment pattern. But are you already familiar with the knowledge and skills
you need to get this activity going? Well, let’s assess on what you already know about the
materials, laying-out and pinning of patterns on fabrics’.
The result of this pre-assessment will determine your prior knowledge on the
materials, lay-outing and pinning patterns on fabrics. Let’s start!

Pre-Assessment (Pre-Test)

Multiple Choice: Directions: Read and understand the following items below. In your
quiz notebook write True if the statement is correct and False if it is
not.

1. The folded part of pattern layout, that one section of the fabric forms a double layer on a
fold and the other forms a single layer is called crosswise fold.

2. When positioning pattern pieces with straight arrows, keep the arrows across to the
selvage so that the fabric will be straightened when cut.

3. The fabric is folded with wrong sides together, and cut into two pieces along the folds.
This folds is called crosswise fold with nap.

4. In partial fold, the fabric is folded crosswise for this layout so that one section of the
fabric forms a double layer on a fold and the other forms a single layer.

5. Before pinning the pattern pieces to fabric, fold the fabric in half lengthwise with left

What is It

Read the Information Sheet 1 very well then find out how much you can remember by
answering Self –Check 1.

LAYING OUT PATTERN TO THE FABRIC

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.

The following are directions in laying-out pattern pieces:

1. 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.

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 low temperature so that they're easier to work with.
Pre-shrink 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.
2. Laying-out Pattern Pieces

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.

3. Folded Pieces of Fabric

4. Single Layer of Fabric

5. 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.

a. 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.

b. 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.
c. Partial Fold

The fabric is folded partways for this layout, so that one section of the fabric forms
a double layer on a fold and the other forms a single layer. If a pattern piece is to be cut from
a single layer, cut out only the piece from the single fabric layer.

Hello guys! That ends the first part of our lesson. Did we boost your interest? Let’s find
out how much have you learned. Please answer Self-check 1. Let’s start!

Instruction: Write A if you agree with the statement and D, if you disagree in your quiz
notebook.
1. Fold the fabric with the right side under and the wrong side, up.
2. Lay-out the biggest pattern first before the smaller ones.
3. Make a temporary pattern lay-out, especially if the cloth is not too small.
4. Place the pattern pieces near one another. Fit the pattern as in a jigsaw puzzle.
5. Do not cut the fabric until all pattern pieces are in place.

Refer to the Answer Key. What is your score?

Read the Information Sheet 2 very well then find out how much you can remember by
answering Self-Check 2.
PINNING TOOLS

1. Pincushion – holds the straight pins and needles while workng to prevent accidents.
2. Hand needle – used in making temporary stitches and buttonholes.
3. Sewing needle threader – aids in putting the thread to the needle.
4. Thimble – is a small hard pitted cup worn for protection on the finger that pushes the
needle in sewing.
Pinning a Pattern to Fabric
Before pinning the pattern pieces to fabric:
1. 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.
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.

Congratulations! You’ve just finished the Lesson. Let’s find out how much have you
learned. You may proceed to do the following task after answering Self-check 2. Let’s
start!

Instruction: Write A if you agree with the statement and D, if you disagree in your quiz
notebook.
1. Pin the pattern to the edge of the fabric. Keep the fabric on the table.
2. Place the pins perpendicular to the edge of the pattern.
3. Place the pins about 1.5 cm from the edges.
4. Pin the fabric at an interval of 13 cm. too many pins on the cloth tend to wrinkle it.
5. The pattern will not get out of the place when cut, if more pins are placed along curved
edges.
