C. Keep the fold lines of cloth on the open edge of the pattern.
D. Keep the fold lines of patterns on the open edge of the cloth.
What’s In
Before the fabric is cut, make sure that it has been preshrunk.
Preshrinking is easy to do and will help you to avoid unnecessary shrinkage
after sewing. Pressing the cloth will also remove unsightly wrinkle and
numerous folds. Pins are needed to help you hold the pattern pieces accurately
before cutting.
What’s New
After the pre-construction process has been done like the preshrinking
and ironing the fabric, you are now ready to layout the pattern pieces to the
fabric. Pattern pieces should be whether it is complete to avoid delay of work.
It is also helpful to remember all the tips in layouting so that mistakes in work
will be avoided.
What is It
3
3. For an open layout (where single thickness of fabric is used) placed the
fabric with the right side up.
4. For all other layouts, fold the right sides facing each other so that the
wrong side faces seamstress.
5. If a combination fold is used ,lay and cut the lengthwise pattern pieces
first before refolding the cloth for crosswise layout.
6. Since most garments are made with the lengthwise grain running
vertically on the body, align the pattern pieces on the fabric accordingly,
with the grainline of pattern parallel to the selvage .
7. Pin all the pattern pieces to the fabric. Use only dressmaker’s pins as
they do not damage the fabric. Pins should be perpendicular to the
stitching lines and the cutting lines.
8. Place large pattern pieces first and then fit in the smaller ones.
9. Lay the pieces as close to each other so that fabric is not wasted.
10. Fit pattern pieces that are similar in shape next to each other . This
process is called dovetailing.
11. Always test out to see if all the pattern pieces fit into the fabric being
used.
12. Mark seam allowances on the fabric if the pattern indicates so.
13. If pattern details are being transferred using a carbon paper, use a paper
that is as close to the color of the fabric as possible.
14. Mark pattern details only on the wrong side of the fabric.
15. Keep the fold lines of patterns on the folded edge of the cloth.
16. When using a lining material, mark only on the lining than on the actual
fabric the garment is made.
17. Try to fit the wide end of one place to the narrower end of the other. Ex:
petticoat layout.
18. Arrange all pattern pieces before cutting the cloth.

3. Wrong sides of fabric layers together

B. 1, 2, 3 D. 1, 3, 2
What’s In
After the pattern pieces have been layout to the fabric, transferring of
construction marks on the fabric should be facilitated carefully. Construction
symbols such as notches, lines and perforations will be done with the use of
tracing wheel, dressmaker’s carbon paper and tailor’s chalk. It is very much
important to use these tools correctly since it helps you to transfer the marks to
the fabric easily.
What’s New
The construction lines are the student’s guide in sewing once the
patterns are removed from the fabric. The guidelines must be very prominent
and clearly seen in the sewing lines for the waistline, outside and inside seams,
crotch and hemlines. Thus, the use of the marking tools such as tracing wheel
and tailor’s chalk must be carefully used since it emphasizes the guidelines in
sewing.
What is It
1. Use tailor’s tacks to mark all darts, tucks, crotch seams, and outseams at
waistline and hem. Mark original seamsline on crotch seam with hand
basting.
11
2. Stay stitch the waistline ¼ inch outside the seamline. Stay stitch the
seamlines at the pocket, the length of the zipper. Do not stay stitch the
crotch seam.
5. Press the creases before basting the garment together. Fold on the
lengthwise grainline and baste. When pressing the crease, lay the fold on a
plaid press cloth and use a line in the fabric as a guide to help you keep
the crease straight. If you do not have a plaid press cloth, lay the fold against a
yard stick and press. In the front, press only to the point of the dart.
12
3. Use the tracing wheel to make pattern markings. Mark dots by making X’s.
Use a ruler when marking straight lines. Mark the ends of darts with a straight
line.
13
3. Use the tracing wheel to make pattern markings. Mark dots by marking X’s.
Use a ruler when marking straight lines. Mark the ends of darts with a straight
line.
3. Lift up the pattern piece, and make a mark at the side of each pin.
4. Turn fabric and pattern piece over. Mark the site of each pin.
14
Wrong Sides Together
Follow these steps for using tailor’s chalk and pins to transfer pattern
markings when the wrong sides of the fabric are together.
Steps:
1. Remove the pins from the pattern piece in the area you will be marking.
Leave the rest of the pins in place.
2. Put pins through the pattern and fabric where marks will be placed.
3. Lift up the pattern piece and the top layer of fabric. Mark the site of each pin.
Mark both layers of fabric.
15
Tailor’s Tacks
Tailor’s tacks can be used on thick fabrics or on those with a rough
surface that will not pick up carbon paper or chalk marks. Tailor’s tacks are
made with needle and thread.
The same method is followed whether right sides of fabric are together
or wrong sides of fabric are together.
Steps:
1. Leave the pattern piece pinned to the fabric.
2. Thread a needle with darning cotton, or use regular sewing thread in a double
thickness.
3. Take a rather loose stitch through the pattern piece and both layers of fabric
at the point you want to mark.
4. Make another loose stitch on top of the first one to form a loop about 1 in (2.5
cm) in diameter. Make thread loops at all the points to be marked.
16
5. Clip all of the thread loops on top of the pattern piece.
6. Carefully pull the fabric pieces apart, just enough to clip the threads between
the two fabric layers.

What’s In
After the pattern has been laid out and transferred the markings to the
fabric, the next step is to cut the fabric. Double check if the materials are all set
like the fabric to be cut, completeness of the pattern and the availability of the
cutting tools to be used such as scissors or rotary cutter.
What’s New
Cutting the fabric is the most important part of the pre- construction
process in sewing the garment. It needs mental alertness to follow the step by
step procedure to complete the task. As a beginner, it is important to know the
points to consider and the basic steps in cutting the fabrics.
What is It
Basic Steps to Cutting Fabric
1. Prepare the paper pattern by cutting it out.
2. Prepare the fabric by pre-washing and pressing.
3. Layout the fabric on your cutting surface as per the grain.
4. Pin paper pattern to fabric. You can also use pattern weight.
5. Trace around the pattern.
6. Remove paper pattern.
7. Cut off the excess fabric outside the marked lines using a scissors or a
rotary cutter.
24
6. Mark the pattern pieces front and back using a washable marking pen or
marking pencil. Also, pin the pieces. Use two pins to mark the front and
one pin to mark the back pieces.
7. Cut with your one hand holding the fabric and pattern paper and the other
hand holding the scissors and cutting.
8. Use scissors to cut the triangles or waistline markings. Cut them out as
this will help match pattern pieces.
9. Cut with the grain. Cut the waistband exactly on grain, twice the width of
the Grosgrain plus ¼inch, and 5 inches longer than the waist
measurement. the waistband in plaid fabrics may be cut either on the
lengthwise or on the crosswise grain, depending on the design.
10. Cut the lining after the first fitting in case the pattern has to be altered.
11. Edge finish then, cut out pattern pieces using a zigzag or serging stitch
