developed to guide the learning facilitators (teachers, parents and responsible
adults) in helping the learners meet the standards set by the K to 12 Basic
Education Curriculum.

The Learning Activity Sheet is a self-directed instructional material aimed to

guide the learners in accomplishing activities at their own pace and time using the
contextualized resources in the community. This will also assist the learners in
acquiring the lifelong learning skills, knowledge and attitudes for productivity and
employment.

For learning facilitator:

The TLE 9 - HE (Dressmaking) Activity Sheet will help you facilitate the
teaching-learning activities specified in each Most Essential Learning Competency

This will be made available to the learners with the references/links to ease the
independent learning.

Drafting and Cutting Pattern for Children’s Dress (Plan Garment Design)

I. Learning Competency with Code

LO 1. Draft and cut pattern for children’s dress TLE_HEDM9-12CW-IIIa-h-5
1.5. Plan garment design

II. Background Information for Learners

In choosing the designs for the children’s dress, there are special sewing hints
that we must always remember.

Special Sewing Hints for Children’s Dress

1. For durability, substitute machine for hand stitches wherever it is practical and
not unsightly to do so baste down facings.
2. For extra strength, stitch areas of strain, such as armholes, twice.
3. For ease in handling really small garments, attach the sleeves before closing the
underarm seam.
4. For ease of care, choose fabric that are washable; also check the care
requirements of white or pastel colors. Although cottons and synthetic blends
are usually the first choices for children’s garments, washable wools are also
suitable.
5. To please the child, pick bright colors and lively prints. Large designs can be
overwhelming.
6. For convenience, always provide a pocket or two. Children like places to keep
small possessions.
7. A good safety precaution is to have reflective tape strips to outer garments,
especially if they are dark in color.
8. To make handed-down garment different for the younger brother or sister, add a
special appliqué, pockets or monogram. Also consider changing the garment
style; could a dress with sleeves be made into a pinafore for the new owner?
