LOOKING BACK TO YOUR LESSON
BRIEF INTRODUCTION
After you have done with you style pattern for ladies’ skirt. You may
now proceed to the pre- construction stage and that is the selection and the
preparation of fabric before cutting. Choose a breathable fabric and can
absorb sweat easily, durable, and easy to handle. Examples of this materials
are twill and cotton stretch or spandex best suited for athletics skirt. But if
you do not have time or budget, you may use any recyclable cloth material at
home like your old uniform and cotton curtain. When you are ready with the
material you may lay out, pin, cut and mark fabric following the standard
procedure discuss on this Lesson.
LESSON 2.1:
PREPARATION OF MATERIALS FOR
LADIES’ SKIRT
TYPES OF FABRIC
Cotton Fabric
It is a soft & fully staple fiber which has been
cultivated it grows in a boll contain a cellulose
fiber. Good in strength, color retention even in
machine & dry-clean washable & it has good
absorbency.
Silk Fabric
The availability of natural protein fiber of silk
influence to woven fabric into textiles. It as a
smooth, soft, strongest texture with a very
good moisture, it is an elastic fiber & avoids
the dirt.
4
Satin Fabric
Polyester Fabric
Generally, have less of a 'natural' feel in
comparison to cotton or wool, however they
are somewhat favored by sewers due to their
durability, fantastic color retention,
wrinkle/shrink-resistance and how
inexpensive they are.
Chiffon Fabric
Refers to a light plain woven sheer fabric with
a soft drape. Chiffon fabric can be
manufactured using different fibers like silk or
synthetic, cotton etc. but chiffon is generally
associated with fibers like nylon or silk.
Step 1
Soaking the fabric at least 2 to 4 hours.
Step 2
Hang the fabric without squeezing it.
Step 3
Let it dry through natural way or on the
hanging line/hanger.
Step 4
Check if the fabric is on grain then
straighten it back to original form.
5
Iron it to remove the creases if necessary.
In preparing the fabric before cutting, the fabric should be folded “wrong
side” out. It is necessary to fold the fabric correctly, neatly, smoothly and
without crumpled/crease or you need to press or iron the fabric. It is
necessary to fold the fabric because our pattern is only half part of the
garments, so we need to fold the fabric to make two pieces equivalent to front
and back part of the garments/skirt.
Note: The fold of the fabric that we are going to apply in our
project which is gartered ladies skirt is horizontal fold.
