NAME: ________________________________________________________________ DATE: ______________
GRADE AND SECTION: ________________________________________________SCORE:______________
In this lesson you will learn to:

a. Identify the steps in obtaining the fabric size for a particular body measurement through
calculation.
b. Convert body measurement from inch to centimetre.
c. Prepare an individual measurement chart by taking one’s body measurement in centimetres .

Lesson 1 BODY MEASUREMENTS

Length and Width of Materials

In measuring the length and width of materials is needed on fabrics, we also need to use the
metric measurement system. Length is the longer or longest dimension of an object to measure
and Width is the measurement taken at the shortest dimension of the object to measure. Achange
of figures like changing from centimeters to inches and vice versa is refer to Conversion. Calculator
is an instrument used during the process of the four fundamental operation(MDAS) and an
electronic device used for speed computation.
Metric Conversion Chart for Fabric and Sewing

1/4 Inch = 0.25 Centimeters

1 Yard = 0.9144 Meters
1/2 Inch ` = 1.27 Centimeters
2 Yards = 1.8288 Meters
5/8 Inch = 1.59 Centimeters 3 Yards = 2.7432 Meters
3/4 Inch = 1.905Centimeters 4 Yards = 3.6576 Meters
1 Inch = 2.54 Centimeters 5 Yards = 4.572 Meters
1.5 Inches = 3.81 Centimeters
2 Inches = 5.08 Centimeters
2.5 Inches = 6.35 Centimeters
Example:
3 Inches = 7.62 Centimeters How many inches are there in a 100
3.5 Inches = 8.89 Centimeters centimeters width of fabric?
4 Inches = 10.16Centimeters
4.5 Inches = 11.43 Centimeters Answer:
5 Inches = 12.7 Centimeters
5.5 Inches = 13.97 Centimeters Given:
6 Inches = 15.24 Centimeters 1 inch = 2.54 cm
6.5 Inches = 16.51 Centimeters Width of fabric = 100 cm
7 Inches = 17.78 Centimeters Equivalent of an inch to cm =2.54
7.5 Inches = 19.05 Centimeters
Calculation:
8 Inches = 20.32 Centimeters
8.5 Inches = 21.59 Centimeters 100 cm= 39.37 inches
9 Inches = 22.86 Centimeters 2.54 cm
9.5 Inches = 24.13 Centimeters
10 Inches = 25.4 Centimeters
10.5 Inches = 26.67 Centimeters
11 Inches = 27.94 Centimeters
12 Inches = 30.48 Centimeters

Example:

How many centimeters are there in a 60 inches length of fabric?

Answer:
Given:
1 inch = 2.54 cm
Length of fabric = 60 inches
Equivalent of a cm to an inch = 2.54 cm

Calculation: 60 inches
X 2.54 cm
152.4 cm

Cost Needed, cost is the amount paid or charge for something that is
acquired.
Example:
You need to buy a 60 inches length of fabric to be used in making a dress to your customer.
You have known that the cost of the fabric that you are going to use is P5.00 per centimeter. How
much will you need in order to buy it?

Step 1 – Convert the 60 inches length of fabric into centimeters .

60 inches
X 2.54 cm
152.4 cm

Step 2 – Multiply the cost per centimeter to the length of fabric converted.
152.4 cm
X Php 5.00
Php 762.0
