What is It
After drafting all the patterns, you can start preparing the material for ladies’ short
pants. Recall the pointers in preparing the material discussed in our previous
lessons. It is the dressmaker’s responsibility to prepare the material before cutting
to ensure that the material will not shrink or get damaged.

Methods of preparing the material.

1.Soaking

2.Drying

3.Ironing

4.Straightening

City of Good Character 6

DISCIPLINE • GOOD TASTE • EXCELLENCE
Methods of straightening the fabric.

1.Cut along print line- for plaided and striped fabric

2.Pulling of the thread-done on loosely woven fabrics

3.Tearing of the fabric-for tightly woven fabric.

Characteristic of grain perfect fabric.

1.All edges of the fabric match exactly

2.All corners are square.

3.Fabric lie smooth free of wrinkles.

Lesson Layout and Transfer

2 Markings for Ladies Short

Laying out Pattern Pieces

Laying out the patterns pieces on the cloth helps you determine if the material is
enough for all the pattern pieces. Always start with the trial layout to avoid
mistakes and wasting of material. Lay all major pattern pieces first then place
small pattern pieces in between the big patterns. You can finish the final layout by
pinning the pattern to the fabric.

Possible solutions when you run out of fabric.

1.Buy small amount of material.

2.Change your design.

3.Cut down on seam allowances.

4.Use combination

5.Shorten the pieces.

How to layout ladies’ short pants with garter and patch pocket

1.Prepare the front and back pattern and the patch pocket with allowance.

2. In a folded 45 -60 width fabric make a trial layout by placing all the patterns on
top of material.

3. Layout patterns by placing both sides of ladies’ short pattern at the center
together.

 4. For the final layout pin all the patterns as shown in the illustration.

Sample layout of ladies short with garter

Pinning Pattern Pieces on Cloth

To prevent the pattern and material from shifting when cutting and transferring marks we can
secure it with a pin. Always keep the material flat on the table, do not lift the material use
your one hand on the cloth to keep the material in place and the other hand to guide the pin
to the fabric.
