This lesson is designed and written
with you in mind. It is here to help you
understand on how to apply finishing touch on
ladies’ blouse. The scope of this module
permits it’s to be used in many different learning situations. The language
used recognizes the diverse vocabulary level of students. The lessons are
arranged to follow the standard sequence of the course.
Learning Competency
1. Identify the different kinds of fasteners for the blouse
2. Follow the correct procedures in marking and making

buttonholes
3. Perform different seam finishes and hemming
4. Describe the characteristics of a well-sewn hem.
What Is It
This section provides a brief discussion of the lesson. This aims to help you
discover and understand new concepts and skills.
This is the final stage in making a blouse. Careful application of the

finishing touches should be applied to give the nearly finished output a
more quality feature. Knowledge on the fasteners to be applied should be
5
well crafted to match them well to the garment.
Types of Fasteners
Buttons
Buttons are one of the oldest forms of fastening. They come in many
shapes and sizes, and can be made from a variety of materials including
shell, bone, plastic, nylon, and metal. Buttons are sewn to the fabric
either through holes on their face, or through a hole in stalk called a
shank, which is at the back. Buttons are normally sewn by hand,
although a two-hole button can be sewn by machine.
Ways of attaching Buttons
1. Square
2. Parallel
3. Cross
4. Arrow head
5. Common way
a. Sewing on a 2-Hole button- This is the most popular type of button
and requires a thread shank to be made when sewing in place. A
toothpick will help you to sew on this type of button
1. Position the button on the fabric. Start with a

double stitch and double thread in the
needle.
2. Place the toothpick on top of the button.
Sew up and down through the holes, going
over the stick.
3. Remove the toothpick.
4. Wrap the thread around the thread loops under

the button to make a shank.
5. Take the thread to the back of the fabric.
6
6. Buttonhole stitch over the loop of threads on
the back of the work.
b. Sewing on a 4-hole button- This is stitched in the same way as for a

two-hole button except that the threads make an X over the button on the
front.
1. Position the button on the fabric. Place a

toothpick on the button.
2. Using double thread, sew up and down
through alternate sets of holes, over the
toothpick. Make an X shape as you stitch.
3. Remove the toothpick
4. Wrap the thread around the thread loops

under the button to make the shank.
5. On the reverse of the fabric, buttonhole

sew over the thread loops in an X shape.
c. Sewing on a Shanked Button- when sewing this type of button in place,

use a toothpick under the button to enable you to make a thread shank on
the underside of the fabric.
7
1. Position the button on the fabric. Hold a
toothpick on the other side of the fabric,
behind the button.
2. Using double thread, sew the button to the
fabric, through the shank.
3. Be sure each stitch goes through the

fabric and around the toothpick beneath.
4. Remove the toothpick. Work buttonhole

stitch over the looped thread shank.
Worked Buttonholes
Ladies blouses are usually buttoned from

right to left so the buttonholes should be made on the right of the blouse.
Holes through which buttons pass through are called “buttonholes”. If the
blouse is buttoned down at the front, the buttonholes may be placed
horizontally or vertically. Horizontal buttonholes are made1/2 centimeter
outside the centerline. While the vertical buttonholes are made on the center
line. The mark of the exact length of buttonholes should be ¼ centimeter to
½ centimeter longer than the diameter of the button. Buttonholes should be
cut crosswise, or lengthwise following are thread of the material. Use sharp
and pointed scissors when cutting the buttonholes. Horizontal buttonholes
are made by making a fan at one end and a bar at the other end while
vertical buttonholes are squared with buttonholes stitches at both ends.
8
Worked buttonholes should be:
 Spared evenly
 Cut following the thread of the fabric
 Made correctly according to the size of the buttons
 Cut correctly and accurately
 Made strong and even
Making Worked Buttonholes
The following are the steps in making worked buttonholes:
a. Mark the buttonholes
b. Make machine stitching around

the mark.
c. Cut the holes with a pair of sharp

scissors.
d. Make buttonholes from right to

left. Start at the side nearest
you. Make a circle with the
thread at the point where next
buttonholes stich is to be made.
Hold the lower edge of the circle
with thumb. Insert the needle under the cloth and pull the needle
upwards. Make several buttonholes stitches up to end.
9
e. When the other end is reached, start making the fan make about 5-
7inches to make the rays of the fan.
f. Continue making the buttonhole

stitches up to the other end.
Finish end of the buttonhole by
making 2 bar threads directly
across the end. Word blanket
stitches closely over them. Fasten thread at the back.
Snap Fastener
Snap Fasteners are used where a lightweight fastening is needed.

They are available in a black or silver metal finish in a range of sizes. Small,
clear plastic snaps may be used on fine fabrics. There are many types of
nonsew snap with decorative metal or colored caps, which are attached
using a special tool or a hammer.
Snap Fastener
Made from a nylon or metal, this fastener is
formed from a ball and socket, which simply
press or snap together and are easily pulled apart.
Nonsew Snap Fastener
This fastener has a decorative

metal cap. The fabric is held
between the socket stud and the stud
cap. The other edge is held between the
ball stud and the rivet. The two sides then snap
together.
10
Nonsew covered snap
Designed to look like a covered button, this ball-and-socket fastener is

available in a kit containing five pieces that snap together. It is covered by a
circle of fabric .
Attaching Snap Fastener

Ball-and-Socket Fastener
1. Fasten the thread firmly to the
wrong side of the overlapping
edge. Such the ball stud to this
edge, without stitching through
to the right side. Finish with
backstitches at the stud edge.
2. Close the opening. Pass a pin

through the center of the ball
stud to mark the position for
the socket stud. Mark the point
with another pin or a
dressmaker’s pencil.
3. Stitch the Socket Stud firmly to the right side of the underlapping
edge in the same way as the
ball stud. Use four stitches to
secure each hole and
backstitches as the base.
Hook and Eye
11
Hooks are versatile fasteners that can fit into both straight bars and
round eyes, and are strong enough not to open under stress. They are made
in different sizes and strengths, and are frequently used on waistbands at
the top of the zipper openings. Sew-on snap fasteners are available in range
of sizes, and non-sew snaps provide an alternative to buttonholes on casual
garments. Hook-and-loop fasteners, usually cut from a strip, are easy to
open and close and are often used for garment detail such as cuffs, and in
home furnishings.
Standard hook and eye

These fasteners have looped eye for use on
adjoining fabric edges or straight eye for
use with lapped fabric edges.
Covered hook and eye

This set has a looped eye. It is used on
coats, jackets and garments made from
deep-pile fabrics.
Skirt hook and bar

This sturdy set is used on pants and skirt
waistbands. The design stops the hook from
slipping off the straight eye.
Seam Finishes
Seam finishes are most determined by the fabrics and their uses on the
garments. Standard seam allowance on pattern is 5/8 or 1.5 centimeter
wide.
Type of Seam Finishes
12
1. Pinked Seam is used for non-frayable fabrics like wool, silk, velvet,
etc. use pinking shears in trimming the edges.
2. Overcast open seam is used in over casting
the edges of seams. Blanket stitches are
used in this type of seams.
3. Edge turned and stitch seam is a stronger

finish than pinking and overcast seam
finishes. This is suitable for lightweight
fabrics. Trim the seams and turn raw
edges. Machine stitch or make running
stitches on the edges.
4. Overcasting stitch is a slanting or diagonal
stitch the new edge of seams to keep the
cloth from raveling.
5. Zigzag open-seam is a seam finish for
open seam when ther is only zigzagger
available.
6. Overedged Seam is seam finish if there is

an over edging machine
Hemming is a kind of stitch that holds folded edge like hem

and facings.
Kinds of Hem
1. Blind or slip stitch is done under an edge or through a folded

edge. It does not hold hem rigidly to the skirt.
13
2. Slant hemming is the simplest among the hemming stitches. It is
for the fastening bands, binding cuff etc.
3. Catch stitch is used to hold the raw edges of the interfacing and
placed along fold lines. It is done in between the hem and fabric. It
can be used when hemming heavy fabrics that stretch to prevent a
ridge from showing on the right side of the garment.
4. Lock stitch is a type of blanket stitch done between the hem and
outer fabric.
5. Machine stitch may be used in garment in which hem is not
advisable to use.
Hemming a Blouse
The blouse is usually hemmed by slip stitching. Slip made on

the hemlines should not be seen on the right side of the blouse. Neat
and invisible stitch on the blouse adds to the nice and neat
appearance.
Procedure in Hemming a Blouse.
1. Turn up the hem on the hemline mark.

2. Pin and press the fold edge.
3. Mark the hem width and cut extra materials.
4. Finish the hem by turning the raw edge under1/4 inch and stitch
on the fold.
5. Make slip stitch by taking small stitches on the blouse. Then take
another stitch on the fold opposite where the thread comes out on
the hem garment. Repeat procedures until the hemline of the
blouse is finished.

What Is It
Press Finished Ladies’ Blouse
Pressing is important in garment construction for it

shapes and stitched lines. It is done on the seam and darts to
lay flat the point pieces.
Before beginning to press, remember these following

points:
 Be sure that iron is clean

 Care should be taken when pressing silk, wool, and rayon.
 Iron is not being too hot for wool and silk will be yellowed
and scorched at a comparatively high temperature.
 A hot iron will melt rayon fibers.
17
 Press wool and silk on the wrong side.
 Pressing on the right side produces an undesirable shine.
 Cotton and linen may be pressed on either sides.
 Vegetable fibers stand hotter iron than those of animal
origin. They are easier to press when slightly damp.
Pressing Tools and Equipment and Their Uses
1. An electric iron is used in straightening

wrinkle on finished garment for a neat
appearance.
2. An ironing board is padded, smooth and

adjustable in height. The cover should be
kept clean and smooth for ready use.
3. Ironing board sheet cover should be made of cotton or linen

with light colors and it is used in covering the ironing
board.
4. Bowls and sponges are used to dampen fabrics

for easy ironing.
5. Press cloth is used to prevent iron shine and is
always used when applying fusible interfacing.
How to Use an Iron
 Do not let iron cord drag over your work.

 To avoid scorching the iron board cover, tilt the iron back on its
heel when not in use.
18
 If starch or sizing is stuck to the iron, let it cool, and then scour
it with soap and non-scratching powder or baking soda.
 Turn off the iron when it is not in use.
 It is safe to use distilled water on steam iron.
Procedure in Pressing Finished Garments
1. Press interior parts, such as pocket facings, seams, linings, and

shoulder pads.
2. Press dangling parts, such as sleeves and sashes.
3. Press ruffles and gathers before the other parts.
4. Press yoke and shoulder seams before the lower blouse.
5. Press the top parts of long garment before the lower part.
6. Collar is usually the last because its position next to the face is so
important.
7. Hang the garment on a well-padded hanger to dry completely, without
crowding.
Characteristics of Well Pressed Garments
Pressing can be added to a garment’s attractiveness. How will you

know if you have pressed carefully? There are some signs that indicate a
well- done job.
 The garment is free of wrinkles.

 The original texture has been preserved.
 The original shape of the garment has been maintained.
 No outline on the inside details slows on the outside.
 Inside long seams have been pressed open if they were pressed open
originally.

What’s New
In this portion, the new lesson will be introduced to you in various ways; a
story, a song, a poem, a problem opener, an activity or a situation.
Product packaging has assumed a great importance in modern

marketing. Packaging is not only an important means of protecting the
content, but also a powerful means of pre-selling the consumer and
assisting in store selection.
The package that gives the consumer an advantage and greater
satisfaction in some manner comes from sale promotion like a pouring spout
or cellophane tops for easy opening.
What Is It
Functions of Packaging
1. Protects the Products and Consumer. Good packaging is designed to
22
protect the product. For example, packages should be designed to
withstand humidity, puncture, and other types of damage.
2. Contains the Product. Containers make products easy to carry and

keep them separately.
3. Identity of the Product. A package would be less useful if it’s not
properly identified. Usually, the contents are identified by the label on
the package. However, using a special design or color on the
package helps customers identify the contents.
4. Promotes the Product. The package is the natural place for
promotion. It is part of the product which is most visible to the
customer.
5. Makes the Product Easy to Use. Cartons with spouts for easy
pouring, boxes with zip-strip openings, butter wrappers with
measurement marked on them are examples of the conveniences
offered by packaging. In each of these examples, the package is
designed with the user’s needs in mind.
Packaging Material of Finished Garments
Labels are not functional component of a garment but essential for

many reasons. Seven common labels that are found in garments are Brand
label, Size label, Care label, Flag label, Manufacturer code, Line mark label
and special label. Each label has specific purpose and gives information.
1. Brand or Main Label
Main labels indicate the Brand name or Brand Logo of the company
that originates and sells clothes. Brand labels play a big role to customers
because customers know the brand and they buy the branded one. A
brand label is associated with the product’s quality, durability and feel
good factor. We prefer to buy Levis jeans and Tommy Hilfiger for shirts
and Polo shirts, Zara for dresses.
23
2. Size Label
Size label defines a specific set of body measurements. These Size

labels may be printed only a later to denote a specific size. Such as S for
Small, M for Medium and L for Large size garments. Customers know
which size fit them well.
3. Care Label
This label includes care and ironing instructions. For details of wash
care instructions. This refers to garment care symbols. Care labels are
attached at the side seam. The purpose of care labels is to warn wearers
on what not to do while washing, drying and ironing to maintain color,
specific printed designs, after wash shrinkage and color blending issues.
A care label includes few other information such as:
a. Fiber contents are also included in care labels. i.e. 40% Poly and
60% Cotton
b. Country of origin: Name of country that manufactured the

particular product is also written on care label. Like, Made in India,
Made in Philippines.
4. Flag Label:
A small label attached outside seam. Flag labels are normally made of
brand logos and they are used as design features.
5. Manufacturer Label:
This label includes manufacturer’s code given to buyers. Most of the

international buyers purchase garments from countries. In case buyers need

Packaging Materials
28
1. Paper and cardboard – are among the most widely used packaging
materials. Paper is inexpensive, lightweight, fairly strong, and easy to print
on. Cardboard has all the advantages of paper and is heavier and stronger.
2. Wood and glass – are traditional materials for sturdier or more

specialized forms of packaging. Wood makes sturdy shipping crates, which
are reused many times. Glass is used mainly to hold liquids or products
containing liquids. It doesn’t leak and free from unwanted taste or smell.
3. Plastic – is used in many forms for packaging. It is shaped into jars and
bottles; it is molded into boxes, baskets, and trays; it is processed into
sheets for packaging toys, bed linens, small articles of clothing and a wide
variety of food products.
4. Metal – is a material that has long been used to pack liquids and food
products. The most commonly used metal container is the can. At one time,
all cans were made of steel with a tin plating. Today, aluminum cans are
popular, particularly for soft drinks.
5. Metallic foil – extremely thin sheet metal, is widely used in commercial

packaging. It can be folded and wrapped almost like paper and yet has the
strength and moisture resistance of metal.
Packaging Forms
Some of the most familiar forms of packaging are boxes and crates,
bottles and jars, and bags and wrappers.
1. Skin packaging – plastic film is molded tightly over a product mounted

on a card.
29
2. Blister packaging – a plastic bubble is preformed in a plastic sheet. The
product is placed on a card, and the bubble is placed over it.
3. Aerosol or Dump dispenser – a container that releases its contents in

spray or foam when a valve is pressed.
4. Flexible pouch – is a package formed from plastic film or paper that is

filled with the product and sealed by heat process.
5. Shrink wrap – is a package made by placing clear film around the

product itself.
6. Multipack – is a special package design that groups two or more

packaged products into a unit for easier display, carry home utility, or user
convenience.
7. Aseptic packaging - combines many good qualities of cardboard, metal

and glass. These containers are called “aseptic” because they keep germs
out of foods that need no refrigeration.
8. Dispensing Closure - is a cap, lid, or seal through which the contents of

the container can be dispensed in a controlled manner.
