Learning styles a. Visual - The visual learner takes mental

pictures of information given, so in order
for this kind of learner to retain
information, oral or written, presentations
of new information must contain diagrams
and drawings, preferably in color. The
visual learner can't concentrate with a lot
of activity around him and will focus better
and learn faster in a quiet study
environment.
b. Kinesthetic - described as the students in
the classroom, who have problems sitting
still and who often bounce their legs while
tapping their fingers on the desks. They are

often referred to as hyperactive students
with concentration issues.
c. Auditory- a learner who has the ability to
remember speeches and lectures in detail
but has a hard time with written text.
Having to read long texts is pointless and
will not be retained by the auditory learner
unless it is read aloud.
d. Activist - Learns by having a go
e. Reflector - Learns most from activities
where they can watch, listen and then
review what has happened.
f. Theorist - Learns most when ideas are
linked to existing theories and concepts.
g. Pragmatist - Learns most from learning
activities that are directly relevant to their
situation.

All About Tape Measure for Sewing: Ultimate Guide
A measuring instrument is a device to measure a physical quantity. In the

physical sciences, quality assurance, and engineering, measurement is the activity
of obtaining and comparing physical quantities of real-world objects and events.

1. What is a tape measure for sewing?
The tape measure for sewing is usually soft and flexible strip/ribbon with linear-
measurement markings made mostly from reinforced polyester or fiberglass. The
most common length of a measuring tape is 60 inches ( or 152 cm), but there are
tapes for sale, for example, 100 inches long (254 cm) or even longer 120” (304 cm)
which can be useful for measuring longer lengths (like curtains, quilts and other
home decor items).
2. Uses of a tape measure in sewing
A tape measure is used primarily for taking body measurements, as well as for
drafting patterns, measuring fabric, laying out patterns on fabric, specifying the
length of a garment, checking the size of hems, measuring curves and corners,
measuring curtains, quilts … and much more. It’s simply necessary for a
seamstress to have a measuring tape at hand. Better yet, several tapes of different
colors at once.
3. How to read a sewing measuring tape
As you may know it, there are two main systems for measuring length –
the Imperial System of Measurements where things are measured in yards, feet
and inches and the Metric System of Measurement which uses meters,
centimeters and millimeters.

CASUAL APPAREL
The image below presents a section of tape divided in 1/8” subdivisions, the
multiples of ¼” and ½” have longer marks. How to read a tape measure in
millimeters
The markings on it are applied with the main divisions with an interval of 1 cm
and intermediate – 1 mm.
A centimeter is divided into 10 equal parts – millimeters and one can express
fractions with a decimal point (2.3cm – 2cm 3mm or 23 mm).
How to read a sewing tape measure in inches

The markings on it are applied with the main divisions with an interval of 1 inch
and intermediate – ⅛ or 1/16 in.
An inch is divided into 2, 4, 8, 16 equal parts so the measurement in inches is

something like “2 3/8” or “5 3/16”. And the decimal point doesn’t make real sense
for inches.
How to read a tape measure in 16ths
Let’s say my tape measure has 16 marks per inch and I use it to measure a dart
for example. It comes out as 4 whole inches plus 5 little marks, then that is 4 and
5/16inches.

er example: let’s use it to measure the distance between buttonholes and it comes
to 3 whole inches plus 2 little marks, then it is 3 and 2/16 inches. But we will not
say that the distance is 3 2/16 inches, we usually say 2/16 as ⅛, right? So our
measure for the buttonholes will be 3 ⅛ inches.
 Pay attention to the material of the tape – it must be strong to serve you as
long as possible without stretching. Modern professional tapes are made of
fiberglass and NEVER stretch.
 When choosing a tape measure for sewing, remember that it should be soft
and flexible. A rigid measuring tape will not fit on your body or on a pattern
and fabric and all measurements will turn out to be incorrect.
 Choose a tape measure which scale begins directly from the edge of the
tape. If the beginning of the scale is indented from the edge, you will need to
constantly monitor that this indent doesn’t fall into measurement. In any
case, make sure you are measuring from the ZERO LINE.
 We also recommend that you select a tape with the scale that starts with a
unit 1 at both ends: then no matter what end of the tape you take, the
beginning of the scale will always be in your hands.
 Be sure to check the accuracy of the scale on the tape measure. Accuracy
is a basic requirement for any measuring tool. The markings must be bright
and clear so you can see the numbers very well.
 A measuring tape scale can be applied both in inches and centimeters. A
double scale can be useful to you if you often sew with patterns from
magazines or websites of countries where the metric scale is adopted.
 The next thing to look for when buying a measuring tape is the color. Give
preference to bright colors – so it will be easier for you to look for it in the
creative mess which usually happens in the sewing room where you cut

fabric and sew. I often lose my tape on the table among patterns and fabric
pieces. What about you? But if it’s bright pink it’s much easier to see.
 If a measuring tape is torn, stretched or rubbed, do not try to repair it

because its scale indicators may become inaccurate. This sewing tool is
inexpensive, so it’s better to immediately purchase a new one.
5. Measuring tape types
1. Some tapes are marked only in centimeters and millimeters.

2. Some have only inches and its fractions (in 8ths or 16ths).
3. Some have both inches and centimeters. Personally I much prefer this type of
measuring tapes for sewing. Converting lengths for sewing is simple using a
tailor’s tape marked in both cm and inch. All you need to do is read the inch side
corresponding to the number in centimeters. If we have to convert for example 66
cm into inches, looking at the image below we can see the result is 26 inches.
4. Two-sided tape measure. To me, this is the best tape measure because
the scale starts with a unit 1 at both ends: then no matter what end of the tape
you take, the beginning of the scale will always be in your hands. I think they also
called them DUAL SIDED. sell in most fabric stores. I don’t like to lose a lot of
time searching for the proper end to start measuring.
5. Measuring tapes have different lengths and widths.
The most common length is 60″ (152 cm) but longer tapes twice that size exists.
The standard width of a measuring tape is ⅝ inch and this is really helpful
because the standard measurement for seam allowances for most patterns is ⅝
inch. So when I am making simple patterns
6. The most common material for such tapes are reinforced polyester and
fiberglass which I prefer because it doesn’t stretch. The narrow edges of the tape

in Imperial and Metric markings. The tape does not adhere well to damp or wet
surfaces, so make sure the surface is relatively clean and dry. I use this along the
edge of my sewing table for quick measurements.

The measuring tape should be stored either suspended or rolled up. It’s advisable
to determine a permanent place for it so that you always know where to get it.
6. Vintage and antique measuring tapes
There are many sewing tools that have thousand-year- old history. But a flexible
tape measure is a relatively young invention. And who was the first to propose
using a fabric tape with divisions for taking measurements? The fabric tape
measure was invented in 1847 by Alexis Lavigne – the master tailor of the
French Empress Maria Eugenia, the founder of the world’s first fashion school
Esmod, which exists to this day.And since then an elegant, beautifully packed
measuring tape turned into a symbol of the profession of a fashion designer and a
tailor.

If you want to easily convert between inches and millimeters use this chart

The values are rounded to the closest mm value. For example, if the actual
value is 7.94 mm we have to round it up to 8 mm because in sewing the millimeter
is not divided further – the millimeter is the smallest commonly used unit in the

TAKING CLIENT’S BODY MEASUREMENT
Words to Study
 Girth Measurements – taken horizontally and most of them go around the

entire circumference of the body.
 Length Measurements – taken vertically and their primary purpose is to
measure the distance between reference points on the body.
Measurements are the foundation of pattern drafting. They establish basic

axes which are natural to the body. These axes are then used to reconstruct the
shape of the body onto the paper. They must take with complete accuracy.
Measurements can be taken without assistance, but the task is easier when
you have someone to help you
RULES IN TAKING BODY MEASUREMENT

 Wear undergarments or bodysuit when measuring.
 Use tape measure that does not stretch.

 Tie a string around your natural waistline.
 Pull the tape snug, but not too tight.
 Be sure to keep the tape parallel to the floor.
 Take girth measurements, then length measurements.
 Ask the subject to stand in a relaxed, upright position in stockinged feet.
 Insert two fingers in taking girth measurements.
 Record all measurements on a chart accurately.
Procedure in Taking Body Measurements

There are several parts of the body to be measured. These are taken in:
 Horizontal measurement
 Vertical measurement
 Circumferential measurement
1. The horizontal measurement is taken from the left of the figure to the
right.
 Shoulder. Measurement is taken from the
tip of the left shoulder to the tip of the right
shoulder, arching slightly to cover the
cervical prominence of the neck bone.
 Bust point width. Measurement is taken

across from the tip of the left bust point to
the tip of the right bust point.
2. The circumferential measurement is taken around the body.
 Bust. Measurement is taken around the

bust with the tape measure running on the

Importance Of Body Measurements:
 It is very necessary to take body measurements required for pattern

drafting or for garment making for the following reasons:
 i. Accurate body measurements is very important in drafting of pattern if

the pattern will fit the individual for whom the pattern is drafted.
 ii. Accurate body measurements helps to produce garments that are

fitted to the body because the way the measurement is taken will determine
whether the garment will be tight fitted, semi fitted or oversize/loose fitted.
 iii. It helps in reducing fabric or paper waste, especially when body

measurements are taken accurately.
 iv. Accurate body measurement prevents waste of time and energy that
would have been used in pattern alteration and in altering or adjusting
garment.

Standard Body Measurement for Gents and Ladies
Body Measurement:
An accurate body measurement is one of the important tasks for sewing. Perfect body
measurement is the first condition before garments sewing. According to the body
standardization, measurements may be classified two ways regular sizes and tall size.
But this body size also varies to Gents and ladies body measurement. Now I am
discussing about this body measurement variation both jeans and ladies.
Standard Body Measurement Tips:
Before body measurements few posts of the body should be pointed out for accurate
measurement. They are such as chest, waist, hips, inseam, thigh, upper arm, sleeve
length, etc. Always use a fabric measuring tape, should not use a metal one, measuring
tape is much more accurate then metal one. They’re given few measurements tips as
follows-

1.Discuss the the importance of 3D body scanning in industry.
2. Know the advantages and disadvantages of 3D body scanning in industry
3D body scanning
 3D body scanning technology has become more popular in the

clothing industry. Many applications have been developed. This allows
retailers to retain their old customers with a value added professional
service and to attract new customers who demand personal fit.
Different 3D body scanners have distinct features and
advantages. Table 8.1 lists the major 3D scanner manufacturers,
and Table 8.2 provides a comparison between different body scanners.
 The optical devices used by the 3D body scanners can be light
projectors, CCDs and light sources (halogen, infrared or laser). For the
human body, the laser must be classified as Class 1 for eye safety.
Most 3D body scanners project light rays horizontally. In
the Cyberware, Vitronic and Hamamatsu systems, cameras or mirrors
are mounted above and below the projection system. In the TecMath
scanner, the cameras are mounted only above the laser projector. This
means that the lower sides of some body parts may not be well
represented. The CubiCam, TC2 and Telmat Systems project
structured light stripes onto the body, but the images are captured
and analysed differently.
 Speed is important in the reduction of human body movement
artefacts.Rapid data acquisition for the structured light system is
certainly a major advantage over laser scanning. Structured light and
laser triangulation systems measure similar degrees of coverage on
the body surface. However, all systems attempt to reduce the scanner
dimensions and booth size. This is of importance, especially for the
retail sector where floor space is valuable. However, if multiple scan
heads are placed at a significant distance from the body, a large space
is required, unless mirrors are used, as in Wicks and WilsonThe three-
dimensional (3D) body scanning technology is fostering the development of new
business models and is helping the apparel industry to further its understanding of the
body-to-garment relationship. While a lot of progress still remains to be done, the
preliminary results are quite promising and many are already predicting the future in
which garments are made directly from body scans with the simple click of a button.

This chapter explores the importance and the role of the body scanning
technology in the apparel industry and offers a review of the state-of-the-art
research in the field of body scan data processing and shape analysis.
In particular, the standard introduces recommendations such as suitable

attire, how to tie up the subject's hair, and descriptions of standing and
sitting postures. Because the descriptions are an orientation only and not
very detailed, there are still variations among the 3D scans of the surveys
(Fig. 32.1), particularly in terms of the posture of the arms and hands.
Variability of the hand and arm posture among different sizing surveys .
 A template-based method was developed within the Eurofit project to
create homologous models from 3D body scans (Trieb et al., 2013).
The harmonization of 3D body scanning surveys was first time tested
with a subset of body scans from the three representative surveys:
CAESAR (Cyberware), Size Spain (Human Solutions), and Size
Portugal (TC2) (Fig. 32.2).

Disadvantages of body scanning technology
 While body scanning technology has great potential to benefit the
fashion industry and aid consumers in obtaining clothing that fits,
there are also a number of issues that might be considered
disadvantages when compared with traditional physical measurement
methods. Some of the disadvantages are related to the type of
technology (light, laser, or microwave) and how the image is actually
collected.
 In the light-based systems, the color of the scan gear, hair, and skin
have a significant impact on the collection of the image. If there is too
much difference between the scan gear and the skin, or the scan gear
is black or dark in color, then it is much more difficult to achieve a
good scanned image, since a good image is based on an even, overall
reflection of light. Hair is also tricky, since different hair colors reflect
light differently. In addition, hair can obstruct the view of important
landmarks around the neck and shoulders (in both light and laser
systems).
 Apparel worn during the scan process is an issue for both laser- and
light-based scanning systems, since both will capture the surface of
the garment over the outside of the body. Loose garments will increase
the dimensions of the measurements that are extracted, regardless of
which system is used. The reverse is also true. Garments that are too
tight will cause measurements to be smaller than they should be.
Because of this, close-fitting but not constricting garments are advised
for both systems. In the microwave system (Intellifit) garments are
assumed to have no impact on the measurements obtained.
There are usually parts of the human body that can not be ‘seen’ by the
vision devices of the scanning system – such as the top of the head, the top
of the shoulders, the bottom of the feet, the crotch at the junction of the

APPAREL
legs, and the armpits – depending on how many data-capturing devices
there are in the system and their locations. The more sophisticated the
system, the more expensive it is. To cater for all of these hidden areas, many
of the systems have developed algorithms that create image data ‘averaged’
from the captured data around them. This is a simplistic explanation, of
course, for a complicated process that primarily aims at filling holes with as
little computer effort as possible. Some of the missing data might be
ignored (such as the top of the head or the soles of the feet) if it does not
have any importance or relationship to apparel development/fit.
The importance of 3D body scanning technology is in the ability of the
systems to not only capture the 3D image of a human body, but to also
extract measurements at precise locations on the human body. Consistency
of measuring techniques between the scanners is a significant issue. Among
the growing number of scanners that are currently available, significant
variance exists in how each scanner captures or extracts specific body
measurements (Simmons and Istook, 2003). Some systems depend on
physical landmarking before the scan takes place. This allows a human to
make an educated

Model Answer:
1. Pattern is important in dressmaking in order to create a foundation,
which is a pattern used as the basis for the design.
2. It is important to know the importance of following the steps and
procedures in sewing in order to realize that things need to be sewn in
a certain order to avoid struggling in completing an essential step later
on.
3. We need to familiarize the different kinds of fasteners in order to find
what is best for the closure of the garments to clo0se it exactly and
directly. Fasteners must be attached to the garment correctly for
proper hang. It is important to choose the colors of the fasteners to
blend with the fabric of the garment.
4. We need to secure drafting tools after we used so that we can easily
find it and prevent from damages and not to be lost.
5. We need to secure the conditions of all the equipment before we
proceed in sewing in order to prevent problems. Good equipment is
essential for good output and safety. When not in use, keep the
equipment covered with suitable cover to prevent dust from settling on
it or rusting.
6. Dressmakers should be trained on safety procedures for working with
sharp tools and equipment but it is essential to put them on safe
place to prevent from danger and cuts. Used pin and needles should
be places on sharps disposal container and should be kept away from
children. As well as to scissors and other sharp tools, it should be
placed on a proper container or box to protect them from dulling.
7. if we don’t have ruler, we can use tailor’s square or L-square because
it is also used to transfer measurements to the draft pattern. It also
divides the garments into the desired measurements. It has perfect
squares and is useful in making straight lines and numbers. It can
also function as a tape measure.
8. If the sewing machine is not high speed sewing, check the machine if
it is threaded correctly, ensure the threading line on the hand wheel is
at the top position to put the needle into the correct position for
threading.
9. If you cut the pattern against the grain, the grain will affect how the
fabric moves as it is pulled. It is important to know which way the
grain is running, because fabric that is off-grain when you are cutting

the pattern pieces can cause your completed project to stretch out of
shape.
10. We need to follow the direction in making pattern so that we can
make the basic foundation in dressmaking that is drafting/ blocking
pattern.
11. The factors affecting the garment designs are age, climate,
occasion, income and occupation. Growing up, means that the clothes
and its designs change as well as to climate. The designs of the
clothes depend upon to the person who will wear.
12. We need to review or check the body client’s measurement in
the drafted pattern we made in order to have the accurate
measurement and to avoid error in dressmaking.
13. The importance of 5S is that it is designed to decrease waste
while optimizing productivity through maintaining an orderly
workplace and using visual cues to attain more consistent operational
results.
