Rationale

Project PPE (Portfolio Predicate on Exemplar) is a backup contingency response of the Schools
Division of Surigao del Sur for learning delivery and learning resource which parallel to the on-
going endeavors of the higher offices in the Department. It is the utilization of a lesson exemplar
that is streamlined in a teacher-and-learner-friendly format to cater to the new classroom setup in
light of the COVID-19 health crisis. These exemplars will be paired with a self-contained and
self-instructional portfolio.

The portfolio is a deliberate collection of works that highlight a learner’s effort that would enable
the him/her to see his/her growth and achievement, ability to reflect on his/her own work and
ability to establish goals for future learning.

What is It

Anyone can sew a skirt, so if you're just learning, a skirt is the perfect starting point. You can
get the color, style, and fit you want, and the length that's exactly right for you.

Key Points in Preparing Cut Parts of a Garment

Remember to prepare your garments parts before you proceed to sewing. In order to not to
consume so much time finding your garment part, place it near to you, place it under the
extension left of your sewing machine. Complete also your sewing like scissor or trimmer,
thread, seam ripper.
Unit Method of Construction- is the system of sewing a garment part by part or unit by unit.
A unit is a separate part of a garment. When the cloth is cut, each portion becomes a unit.
The unit method of construction has the following advantages:
1. Each part of a garments is completely sewn before it is attached to the other parts.

5
2. Every piece that you are going to sew is not handled too much so that the cloth does not
become too wrinkled.
3. The needed marks in constructing the skirt are carefully checked.
4. The time consumed in sewing will be shorter.

Pressing Techniques and Before Construction

Pressing can straighten grain lines and preshrink fabric, and it eliminate wrinkles before
laying on the pattern. The center crease line should be pressed out of folded fabrics. Wrinkled
tissue pattern pieces may be pressed smooth with a warm iron as an aid to accurate cutting.
Skillful pressing may substitute for much of the basting, careful pressing of hems and facings
will save much time.
Press each piece in the construction procedure: the seams, darts or tucks, before one piece is
joined to another.
General Direction for Seams
Thoroughly smooth the stitching line of any seam by pressing before opening the seam
allowances or turning to one side.
a. Straight Seams – Press seam allowance open with tip of iron for an
inconspicuous appearance.

b. Lapped Seams – Press the turned edge of the top layer before placing it over the
under layer.

c. Curve Seams – press seams with outward curves open over a seam board or near
the edge of pressing board. Press only 2” to 3 “ at a time.

6
d. Waistline Seams- Press seam allowance open, then press both edge together.
Leave the seam allowance open if neither bodice nor skirt is bulky at waistline
seam.

e. Darts – Press waistline and shoulder dart toward the center front and center back,
underarm darts toward the waistline, and elbow dart toward the wrist.

f. Pleats - Press pleats from hem to waistline.

g. Zipper Plackets- Place the garment at the right side down over a well – padded
surface such as a Turkish towel.

7
 h. Hem – Press a skirt hem up from the lower edge to avoid stretching. Hems may
be pressed from either side. From the right side, press over a well- padded
ironing board.

Pinning a Garment together

Pinning is a form of basting and is used to hold two or more fabric together before you
start sewing.
Two main methods you can used to pin fabric

1. Horizontal method your pin in line with the edge of the fabric makes sure the pins
are pointing in the same direction so you can remove them easily without pricking
your fingers.

2. Vertical method is a great for curved pattern pieces and ruffles a sit surely holds the
fabric in place. The pins are placed at a 90 degree angle to the edge of the fabric.
