HOW TO USE THIS COMPETENCY BASED LEARNING MATERIAL
Welcome to the module in “Preparing and Cutting Materials for
Casual Apparel”. This module contains training materials and
activities for you to complete.
The unit of competency "Prepare and Cut Materials for Casual
Apparel" deals with the knowledge and skills required in preparing
and cutting of materials for casual apparel. It details the requirements
for preparing materials, lay-outing and marking of pattern on material
and cutting of materials.
You are required to go through a series of learning activities in
order to complete each learning outcome of the module. Each learning
outcomes is provided with Information Sheets (Reference Materials
for further reading to help you better understand the required
activities). Follow these activities on your own and answer the self-
check at the end of each learning outcome. You may remove a blank
answer sheet at the end of each module (or get one from your
facilitator/trainer) to write your answers for each self-check. If you
have questions, don’t hesitate to ask your facilitator for assistance.
Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)
You may already have some or most of the knowledge and skills
covered in this learner's guide because you have:
o Been working for some time
o Already completed training in this area.
If you can demonstrate to your trainer that you are

competent in a particular skill or skills, talk to him/her about
having them formally recognized so you don't have to do the same
training again. If you have a qualification or Certificate of
Competency from previous trainings, show it to your trainer. If the
skills you acquired are still current and relevant to the unit/s of
competency they may become part of the evidence you can present
for RPL. If you are not sure about the currency of your skills,
discuss this with your trainer.

This module was prepared to help you achieve the required
competency, in Preparing and Cutting Materials for Casual
Apparel. This will be the source of information for you to acquire
knowledge and skills in this particular trade independently and at
your own pace, with minimum supervision or help from your
instructor.
 Talk to your trainer and agree on how you will both organize the
Training of this unit. Read through the module carefully. It is
divided into sections, which cover all the skills, and knowledge
you need to successfully complete this module.
 Work through all the information and complete the activities in
each section. Read information sheets and complete the self-
check. Suggested references are included to supplement the
materials provided in this module.
 Most probably your trainer will also be your supervisor or
manager. He/she is there to support you and show you the
correct way to do things.
 Your trainer will tell you about the important things you need to
consider when you are completing activities and it is important
that you listen and take notes.
 You will be given plenty of opportunity to ask questions and
practice on the job. Make sure you practice your new skills
during regular work shifts. This way you will improve both your
speed and memory and also your confidence.
 Talk to more experience workmates and ask for their guidance.
 Use the self-check questions at the end of each section to test
your own progress.
 When you are ready, ask your trainer to watch you perform the
activities outlined in this module.
 As you work through the activities, ask for written feedback on
your progress. Your trainer keeps feedback/ pre-assessment
reports for this reason. When you have successfully completed
each element, ask your trainer to mark on the reports that you
are ready for assessment.
 When you have completed this module (or several modules), and
feel confident that you have had sufficient practice, your trainer
will arrange an appointment with registered assessor to assess
you. The results of your assessment will be recorded in your
competency Achievement Record.

Learning Objectives:
After reading this INFORMATION SHEET, YOU MUST be able to:
1. Identifying prepare materials (fabric)
2. Demonstrate on how to preparing materials (fabric)
Before we lay out the fabric one needs to do the needful

preparation for Fabric layout in garment manufacturing like folding
the fabric correctly, pinning the pattern with the fabric, placing
pattern pieces, matching grains by measuring and securing the pins
to the grain lines and also that the pins should be properly placed and
should be in right quantity.
When the selected layout view has you fold the fabric, fold it
with right sides together. This will make marking easier.
Place the fabric on a large cutting surface such as a cutting
board, table, or cabinet counter-top. After the pattern pieces you need
have been selected, smooth the folds out by hand or lightly press. If
there are pattern pieces for interfacing and/or lining, press them and
put them aside. Most garments are made with the lengthwise grain
running vertically on the body. Place the pattern pieces on the fabric,
Date Developed:
March 2024
DRESSMAKING NC II
Prepare and cut
positioning them on the grain line until all pattern pieces are on the
fabric. Always start with the large pieces first.
Patterns may be secured to the fabric by pinning or by weights.
Actual “pattern weights” can be purchased, but some people use items
they have available such as empty glasses, paperweights, or the like.
Some fabrics are easily marred and damaged by pins. These fabrics
include Ultra suede, leather, and leather-like fabric.
• Place pattern pieces, matching grain by measuring and

using pins to secure along the grain line arrow. To do this correctly,
position the pattern piece.
• Next, measure the distance from one end of the arrow to
the selvage or to the folded edge. Move to the other end of the arrow
and measure. The distance should be the same at both ends. Pin at
each end of the arrows.
• When pattern pieces are on the fold, be sure to place
them exactly on the fold. (Figure 8) If a piece is to be cut to a single
thickness, be sure to flip the pattern over to cut the second one.
Otherwise, you can end up with two pieces for the same side. When
cutting on double fabric, the pattern pieces may be laid right or wrong
side up. Some fabrics require a one-way layout.
This special layout is needed for napped or pile fabrics (such as
corduroy, velvet, velveteen), one-way designs (such as flowers
“growing” in only one direction), and some plaids. Knits and some
woven fabrics exhibit a 3 color shading when the pattern direction is
changed. When in doubt, it is advisable to use a one-way layout to
avoid a potential problem. A one-way layout will direct you to lay all
pattern pieces heading the same direction.
• After all pattern pieces have been positioned grain perfect,
complete the pinning process, and place the pins in the fabric with
their points in toward the outer edge of the pattern.
Pins should be perpendicular to the stitching lines and the
cutting line. Place only enough pins to hold the pattern in place.
Putting too many pins in the pattern piece can actually cause you to
cut the piece larger than is needed. However, be sure to pin at corners
and along straight and curved edges.

DRESSMAKING NC II
Prepare and cut
Each project requires a different fabric type. From soft, and
stretchy jersey material, and natural types of silk, to organic types of
cotton fabric and types of canvas fabric, the right textile can make all
the difference.
Choose your fabric by carefully researching its characteristics
and uses, depending on your specific project. When working on your
DIY project, such as upholstery, clothing, accessories, or furnishings
etc. These questions will help you determine which types of fabric will
be right for you:
Keep in mind where you want to use it, who it is for/what room
is it for, what the conditions will be like, how you want it to look and
feel, and what you want the finished result to be.
Choose the right fibre, weight, and construction from Contrado’s
extensive list of fabric types; cotton, silk, satin, jersey, organic,
synthetic, sustainable, canvas, and so much more. Ensure you always
have the perfect textile for your project.

FABRIC PREPARATION FOR SEWING
The market is flooded with huge variety of dress materials. Each

varies in the type of fiber content, colour, design and type of finish. A
clear knowledge about these concepts is needed to construct a good
well fitted garment. Depending upon the type of fibre, the number of
processes varies. Due to which the yarns may be treated with
chemicals or pressure resulting the movement of yarns. Therefore,
before stitching the garment, it should get adjusted to be straight. If
we stitch the fabric without preparing it, then problems will arise in
fitting. Example, when sewing in a fresh fabric, fit may be good but
after one wash it will shrink in size. Due to that fitness may change,
yarns may be reallocated and shape of the garment may change. So, it
is necessary to prepare the fabric before marking and cutting it. There
are different steps in fabric preparation. It varies upon the type of
fabric used. The most important steps are shrinkage and straighten of
grain.
GRAIN
Grain is the direction of the yarn in a fabric. In all woven
fabrics, there are two set of yarns which interlace at right angles. The
yarn which runs in the lengthwise direction is called warp, and the
one which runs in crosswise direction is known as the weft. The warp
yarns are known as length-wise grain and weft yarns are called as
crosswise grain. Length wise yarn is more strong and stiff. It is made
with of higher twist yarn unlike the crosswise yarns.
Grain plays a very important role in garment designing and
drape. The bod-ice blocks, skirt patterns are cut along the lengthwise
grain (i.e., parallel to the selvedge). This ensures good drape and fall of
the garment on the wearer. Therefore all main parts of the garments
are cut in lengthwise grain. Crosswise grain gives more elasticity.
Small parts of the garments like collars, pockets, and yokes can be
cut on cross grain.
SHRINKAGE
Shrinkage is described as the reduction in length and width of
the cloth when washed. If a garment shrinks, it will ruin the fit.
Therefore all fabric should be subjected to shrinking before cutting
and sewing. Shrinkage can be carried out in different methods. They
also vary from fabric to fabric.
Shrinkage of Fabric without Water

The fabric should be placed on the table with face side lying
down for the shrinkage. A wet cloth or towel should be kept between
Date Developed:
March 2024
DRESSMAKING NC II
Prepare and cut
the two fabrics and iron with warm heat. While ironing, the wet cloth
that is present in between will give air due to heat and help in the
shrinking of the fabrics. Then ironing must be done in all places.
For woolen fabric the wet cloth must be kept in between the
fabric for one night. After that the cloth that was kept above the wool
fabric should be removed. The wool fabric should be spread on the
wrong side facing upward. Ironing should be done by keeping the
fabric above the wool fabric and it should be left to dry naturally. This
process should be done two times.
Shrinkage of Fabric with Water

The fabric to shrink should be kept in the soap solutions for
four hours. In case of cot-ton fabric hot water is needed. The fabric
should be stirred from time to time. After that, it should be washed for
3-4 times and dried by hanging in the lengthwise direction. While
drying the cloth avoid using steel rods and use thread ropes. Ironing
must be done while the fabric is wet slightly. In case of colored cloth
they must be soaked separately and washed.
METHOD OF PATTERN MAKING

Pattern making is an art to learn and should be followed
carefully. Pattern can be made by three main methods namely:
• Drafting method
• Draping method
• Commercial patterns
Drafting Method
Drafting is the system of drawing patterns on paper with
mechanical precision on the basis of body measurements. A basic
pattern should have a minimum number of darts and should fit the
body comfortably without being tight or loose. Drafting can be done on
ordinary brown paper which is not too thin. It can be done on thicker
paper to be preserved for future use. Sometimes this is made on card
board and used for many years. A sharp pencil, ruler, ‘L’ scale or set
squares are needed to make a pattern with straight lines and smooth
curves. The following principles should be understood before starting
to attempt drafting. This method is easy but requires some
calculation. Drafting has a set of instructions like “Draw a line AB
measuring half waist round” which has to be followed to get the paper
pattern.

Important Points to Remember while Drafting
Patterns
1. Patterns should be made larger than the body size by adding ease
allowance to the actual measurement. This gives the garment freedom
of movement, ease, and comfort in wearing. Normally 5 cm allowance
is given around the chest and 1 to 2.5 cm for other measurements.
2. For identical designs where the right and left side of the garment
are same, only one side is needed to be made in paper. It can be
reserved and copied for the opposite side.
3. It is better to draft the basic pattern block first then while cutting,
seam allowances should be added to the pattern and markings should
be made on the fabric.
The following construction detailed infor-mation should be

recorded and marked clearly.
a. Name of each piece of pattern.
b. Number of pieces to be cut with each pattern piece.
Date Developed:
March 2024
DRESSMAKING NC II
Prepare and cut
c. If seam allowance is included in the draft. Seam lines
and cutting lines should be clearly shown using blue and red pencil
respectively.
d. Straight grain or lengthwise line should be drawn on all
patterns with a red pencil as shown (← →). This line indicates the
direction in which the pattern has to be kept on the cloth so that it is
parallel to the selvedge.
e. Matching notches or balance marks should be provided
along seams to show which seams are to be joined together.
f. It is advantageous to cut outward notches at centre front
and centre back of pattern pieces as it helps at the time of assembling
the garment and stitching collars.
g. Folding lines, dart marking, pleat markings etc. should
be clearly shown.
h. Draping technique can be mastered by carefully
following the instruction and drawing the patterns in a systematic
manner.
Draping Method
Toils and modeling are another common terms used to describe

draping. Draping is the manipulation of fabric on a three dimensional

form by a designer to obtain perfect fit and harmony between the
fabrics and design of the garment and the silhouette of the individual.
The material is modeled around a dress stand or human body to see
the fit. It is checked, marked and then cut and finally stitched. There
are several types of dress forms available in the market but the most
commonly used ones are:
• Adhesive Paper Dress Form
• Muslin Padded Dress Form
• Paper Mache or Plastic Molded Dress Forms
Adhesive Paper Dress Form

Adhesive paper dress forms are pre-pared for individual body
measurements by pasting adhesive tapes over a correct fitting
garment (Bannian) worn by the individual. The centre front, back,
neck armscye, waist and hip lines are marked. The adhesive form is
cut through care-fully without hurting the individual and rejoined and
the edges are finished neatly with help of adhesive tapes. The dress
form should be allowed to dry completely before use. (Figure 10.8).
Muslin Padded Dress Form

Muslin padded dress forms are similar to adhesive paper dress
forms but they are made with muslin materials. The inner side of the
dress form is padded, hence it’s stiffer. Padding helps to increase the
usage and life of the dress form. This can be placed on a stand while
draping and preparing the paper patterns. Later it is covered with a
neat fabric and used when needed (Figure 10.9).

Paper Mache or Plastic Molded Dress Forms
Paper Mache or plastic molded dress forms are commercially
made and sold for standard sizes. Even separate hand, leg dress form
are available. It is costly but can be used for many years. These dress
forms will not suit individual with figure irregularities (Figure 10.10).
Draping Method
The method of preparing a pattern following draping method is
discussed below (Figure 10.11):

DRESSMAKING NC II
Prepare and cut
• Place the dress form on to a stand or table and ensure it
is steady.
• Select the fabric, which has to be cut and stitched.
Drape the fabric on the individual, look of design and colour to match
the individual’s structure and complexion.
• Beginners can first drape with fabric which is of similar
texture and weight to the fabric, which is to be cut and sewed.
• Drape the fabric on the dress form allow it to fall
naturally. Check the grain of the fabric (lengthwise grain should
match the centre front line). A number of experimental folds have to
be made. Check for best design and drape. Pin the extra fabric. Do not
cut.
• Ensure the design and drape once again, so as to avoid
cutting on wrong size or designs.
• Draping should be done on a continuous line to give the
best effect. This is possible only through practice. Hence before
finalizing the design and pat-tern try draping in a number of ways.
• Special care should be taken in case of checks and
stripes. These fabrics can be draped on cross grain also for creating
design variation, especially for yoke or collar.
• To decide on fullness, try 2 to 3 styles. Example, pin
tucks, box pleats and gathers can be draped on the dress form and
the best can be selected.
• Once the design of the garment is finalized pin the
fabric on the dress form, match the centre front, back, shoulder, chest
round lines to that in the dress form. Pin along the line.
• Move the fingers slowly and make the dart and fullness
needed and pin it. Care should be taken to maintain grain.
• Mark the line, cut and keep the pieces ready for sewing.
• Name the pieces to avoid confusion. Fold the piece and
keep them in a neat cover, if stitching is not being done immediately.

DRESSMAKING NC II
Prepare and cut
• For identical design one side can be draped, marked
and cut. The reverse of the cut patterns can be used for pre-paring the
pattern for the other side.
• Care should be taken to use minimum or fine pins
especially for delicate fabrics like silk.
• Based upon the type of design, dart can be converted to
create fullness.
• Place weights or tape while draping design which
requires more quantity of fabric. Examples: Wide neckline or side
panels which are cut and gathered. Since the fabric drops down,
weights can be placed inside these drapes or tapes should be used.
• Trimming, buttons and other accessories can be placed
on draped fabrics to check its suitability with the fabric.
In spite of the cost, the method helps one to view the look of the
finished garment; hence correction can be made even before cutting
the patterns. It also involves more time and practices.
Commercial Patterns
Commercial patterns were first developed in U.S.A. in 1950’s.

Later patterns were developed for all age groups of both sexes.
Commercial paper is made out of tissue butter papers for standard
body measurements. Generally these patterns are marked for 5 sizes
and packed in an envelope. Commercial patterns are produced by
companies and sold. It is very popular in foreign countries. The
pattern names, number of pieces to be cut, grain, notches, cut-ting
lines, stitching lines, darts and fullness are also marked. On the
cover, a picture of the dress is shown. The size, cutting, sewing
instructions are also mentioned. The body measurements are
mentioned on the cover. This helps one to select the correct size.
Dress modifications are given by some companies. The materials
required, like ¬buttons and accessories are also printed on the cover.
The major advantages of commercial patterns are good designs,
with simple instructions. The pattern will have good fit when
compared to other patterns but will need modification in case of
irregular body structures. In India commercial pat-terns are not
popular.

ADVANTAGES OF PAPER PATTERNS
• A correct pattern will result in good fit.
• A pattern prepared on thick paper or card board can be
preserved and re-used for a long time.
• Basic patterns can be modified to pro-duce patterns for
complicated designs. (Example: the basic bodice front pat-tern can be
modified for a bodice with yoke design).
• A paper pattern can be used to make new patterns of
the same design by enlarging or reducing the size of the paper
pattern. This is done by a scientific method called “grading”.
• It is easier and quicker to cut using a paper pattern
than drafting straight on the fabric.
• A paper pattern enables us to cut a garment with a
minimum amount fabric. One can find out the most economical way
of cutting the fabric by placing the paper pattern on top and trying
different ways (Layouts).
• Drafting mistakes can be corrected in the pattern itself.
• Patterns can be modified according to the recent trends
in clothing.

Dressmaking is defined as the craft of sewing clothes and

dresses. An example of dressmaking is the art of sewing a beautiful
dress from fabric.
In sewing and fashion design, a pattern is the template from
which the parts of a garment are traced onto fabric before being cut
out and assembled. Patterns are usually made of paper, and are
sometimes made of sturdier materials like paperboard or cardboard if
they need to be more robust to withstand repeated use. The process of
making or cutting patterns is sometimes condensed to the one-word
Patternmaking, but it can also be written pattern making or pattern
cutting.
Student tracing pattern onto fabric.

A sloper pattern (home sewing) or block pattern (industrial
production) is a custom-fitted, basic pattern from which patterns for
many different styles can be developed. The process of changing the
size of a finished pattern is called grading.
Several companies, like Butterick and Simplicity, specialize in
selling pre-graded patterns directly to consumers who will sew the
patterns at home. Commercial clothing manufacturers make their own
patterns in-house as part of their design and production process,

DRESSMAKING NC II
Prepare and cut
usually employing at least one specialized patternmaker. In bespoke
clothing, slopers and patterns must be developed for each client, while
for commercial production, patterns will be made to fit several
standard body sizes.
Pattern making
A patternmaker typically employs one of two methods to create
a pattern.
The flat-pattern method is where the entire pattern is drafted on
a flat surface from measurements, using rulers, curves and straight-
edges. A pattern maker would also use various tools such as a
notcher, drill and awl to mark the pattern. Usually, flat patterning
begins with the creation of a sloper or block pattern, a simple, fitted
garment made to the wearer's measurements. For women, this will
usually be a jewel-neck bodice and narrow skirt, and for men an
upper sloper and a pants sloper. The final sloper pattern is usually
made of cardboard or paperboard, without seam allowances or style
details (thicker paper or cardboard allows repeated tracing and
pattern development from the original sloper). Once the shape of the
sloper has been refined by making a series of mock-up garments
called toiles (UK) or muslins (US), the final sloper can be used in turn
to create patterns for many styles of garments with varying necklines,
sleeves, dart placements, and so on. The flat pattern drafting method
is the most commonly used method in menswear; menswear rarely
involves draping. There are many pattern making system available,
but M. Muller & Sohn is widely used for its accuracy and fit for
different body figure.
The draping method involves creating a muslin mock-up pattern
by pinning fabric directly on a form, then transferring the muslin
outline and markings onto a paper pattern or using the muslin as the
pattern itself.
Pattern digitizing
After a paper/fabric pattern is completed, very often pattern-
makers digitize their patterns for archiving and vendor
communication purposes. The previous standard for digitizing was the
digitizing tablet. Nowadays, automatic option such as scanner and
cameras systems are available.
Fitting patterns
Mass market patterns are made standardized, while human
bodies vary, so store-bought patterns only fit a small proportion of
people well, and an experienced sewist can adjust standard patterns
to better fit any body shape.
Date Developed:
March 2024
DRESSMAKING NC II
Prepare and cut
So, a sewist may choose a standard size (usually from the
wearer's bust measurement) that has been pre-graded on a purchased
pattern. They may decide to tailor or adjust a pattern to improve the
fit or style for the garment wearer, using french curves, hip curves,
and cutting or folding on straight edges. There are alternate methods,
either directly on flat pattern pieces from measurements, using a pre-
draped personalized sloper or using draping methods on a dress form
with inexpensive fabrics like muslin.
Creating a muslin (also called toile using calico), similar to a

garment template, is one method of fitting. Muslin material is
inexpensive and is easy to work with when making quick adjustments
by pinning the fabric around the wearer or a dress form. The sewist
cuts muslin pieces using the same method that they will use for the
actual garment, according to a pattern. The muslin pieces are then fit
together and darts and other adjustments are made. This provides the
sewer with measurements to use as a guideline for marking the
pattern pieces and cutting the fabric for the finished garment.[2]
Pattern grading
Pattern grading is the process of shrinking or enlarging a
finished pattern to accommodate it to people of different sizes.
Grading rules determine how patterns increase or decrease to create
different sizes. Fabric type also influences pattern grading standards.
The cost of pattern grading is incomplete without considering marker
making.
Standard pattern symbols
Sewing patterns typically include standard symbols and marks
that guide the cutter and/or sewer in cutting and assembling the
pieces of the pattern. Patterns may use:
- Notches, to indicate:
- Seam allowances. (not all patterns include allowances)
- Centerlines and other lines important to the fit like the
waistline, hip, breast, and shoulder tip, etc.
- Zipper placement
- Fold point for folded hems and facings
- Matched points, especially for long or curving seams or seams
with ease. For example, the Armscye will usually be notched at the
point where ease should begin to be added to the sleeve cap. There is
usually no ease through the underarm.
- Circular holes, perhaps made by an awl or circular punch, to
indicate:
- A dart apex

DRESSMAKING NC II

- Corners, as they are stitched, i.e. without seam allowances
- Pocket placement, or the placement of other details like
trimming
- Buttonholes and buttons
- A long arrow, drawn on top of the pattern, to indicate:
- Grain line, or how the pattern should be aligned with the
fabric. The arrow is meant to be aligned parallel to the straight grain
of the fabric. A long arrow with arrowheads at both ends indicates
that either of two orientations is possible. An arrow with one head
probably indicates that the fabric has a direction to it which needs to
be considered, such as a pattern which should face up when the
wearer is standing.
- Double lines indicating where the pattern may be lengthened
or shortened for a different fit
- Dot, triangle, or square symbols, to provide "match points" for
adjoining pattern pieces, similar to putting puzzle pieces together
Many patterns will also have full outlines for some features, like
for a patch pocket, making it easier to visualize how things go
together.
Patterns for commercial clothing manufacture
Marker making by computer.

The making of industrial patterns begins with an existing block
pattern that most closely resembles the designer's vision.[5] Patterns
are cut of oak tag (manila folder) paper, punched with a hole and
stored by hanging with a special hook. The pattern is first checked for
accuracy, then it is cut out of sample fabrics and the resulting
garment is fit tested. Once the pattern meets the designer's approval,
a small production run of selling samples are made and the style is
presented to buyers in wholesale markets. If the style has
demonstrated sales potential, the pattern is graded for sizes, usually
by computer with an apparel industry specific CAD program.
Following grading, the pattern must be vetted; the accuracy of each
size and the direct comparison in laying seamlines is done. After these
steps have been followed and any errors corrected, the pattern is
approved for production. When the manufacturing company is ready
to manufacture the style, all of the sizes of each given pattern piece
are arranged into a marker, usually by computer. A marker is an
arrangement of all of the pattern pieces over the area of the fabric to
be cut that minimizes fabric waste while maintaining the desired
grainlines. It's sort of like a pattern of patterns from which all pieces
will be cut. The marker is then laid on top of the layers of fabric and
Date Developed:

cut. Commercial markers often include multiple sets of patterns for
popular sizes. For example: one set of size Small, two sets of size
Medium and one set of size Large. Once the style has been sold and
delivered to stores – and if it proves to be quite popular – the pattern
of this style will itself become a block, with subsequent generations of
patterns developed from it.

Digital home sewing pattern
Home sewing patterns are generally printed on tissue paper and

sold in packets containing sewing instructions and suggestions for
fabric and trim. They are also available over the Internet as
downloadable files. Home sewers can print the patterns at home or
take the electronic file to a business that does copying and printing.
Major pattern companies such as Burda Style and independent
designers such as Amy Butlerdistribute sewing patterns as electronic
files as an alternative to, or in place of, pre-printed packets. Modern
patterns are available in a wide range of prices, sizes, styles, and
sewing skill levels, to meet the needs of consumers.
The majority of modern-day home sewing patterns contain
multiple sizes in one pattern. Once a pattern is removed from a
package, you can either cut the pattern based on the size you will be
making or you can preserve the pattern by tracing it. The pattern is
traced onto fabric using one of several methods. In one method,
tracing paper with transferable ink on one side is placed between the
pattern and the fabric. A tracing wheel is moved over the pattern
outlines, transferring the markings onto the fabric with ink that is
removable by erasing or washing. In another method, tracing paper is
laid directly over a purchased pattern, and the pieces are traced. The
pieces are cut, then the tracing paper is pinned and/or basted to the
fabric. The fabric can then be cut to match the outlines on the tracing
paper. Vintage patterns may come with small holes pre-punched into
the pattern paper. These are for creating tailor's tacks, a type of

basting where thread is sewn into the fabric in short lengths to serve
as a guideline for cutting and assembling fabric pieces.
Besides illustrating the finished garment, pattern envelopes
typically include charts for sizing, the number of pieces included in a
pattern, and suggested fabrics and necessary sewing notions and
supplies.
Ebenezer Butterick invented the commercially produced graded
home sewing pattern in 1863 (based on grading systems used by
Victorian tailors), originally selling hand-drawn patterns for men's and
boys' clothing. In 1866, Butterick added patterns for women's
clothing, which remains the heart of the home sewing pattern market
today.

Patterns for Virtual Clothing
Virtual clothes are digital garments used for video game
characters (Avatars/ 3d Models), in animation films and commercials,
and as clothing for digital doubles in films such as "The Hobbit", for
dangerous scenes or when it is simply impossible to use a real-life
actor. Virtual clothing is commonly also used for dressing up a
players' Avatar in a Virtual World game as well as for making selling
virtual clothes in 3D marketplaces like Second Life, Renderosity, DAZ
3D, Sansar and more. Additional uses for digital clothes is for VR and
AI technologies, online shop catalogs of fashion retailers, and even for
scene of crime recreation purposes.
Virtual clothes can be created by traditional 3D sculpting
typically using software programs such as ZBrush or the Marvelous
Designer software program, which is a pattern-based garment creation
tool for creating clothes specifically for 3D models/Avatars. Marvelous
Designer garments also have the benefit of being dynamic, meaning,
they can be used for animations and support cloth dynamics, so that
the cloth reacts to a movement, wind blowing on it or the 3d model
changing its posture - and the clothing adjusts to it to simulate and
replicate a real-life look and feel.
Patterns for virtual clothing made in Marvelous Designer (MD)
do not require calculating extra fabric margins for seam allowances,
as is required for real-life patterns. Digital clothes are never
manufactured in the real world. However, digital clothing requires
special fabric settings ("Physical Property Settings") in order to re-
create the thickness and stiffness properties real-life fabrics have,
such as leather, silk, cotton, denim etc. so that the digital garment
behaves in a desirable realistic way.

The Pattern-based garment maker programs for virtual clothes
require no seamstress sewing education or experience sewing clothes
from a pattern. However, the 3D artist does need to learn to use such
programs as well as master the techniques for virtually sewing digital
clothes and to understand the principles of pattern making and of
creating the correct fabric presets for every material type. The same
garment can look entirely different with a different physical property
setting. Alternately, CG artists can obtain 3D clothing sewing patterns
made specifically for programs such as MD.
Methods of Pattern Making in Apparel Industry
Pattern:
Garment fitness is the 1st priority for every consumer. To get
perfect fit of garment, well planned or defect free pattern must be
needed. When ornamental designs are apply on the garment, then a
perfect pattern should be produced for making this garment. A
standard pattern making is the most essential part to the success of
ready-to-wear clothing.
On the other words, pattern is a hand paper which is made by

flowing all the specifications of each and individual components.
Actually a pattern is the template from which the parts of a garment
are traced onto fabric before being cut out and assembled. Pattern
making is the connection of design to production by creating paper
templates for all components such as cloth, hemming, fusible etc.
which have to be cut for finish a perfect garment. Now CAD software is
used to make pattern for better correction.
Methods of pattern making

Here are three types of pattern making methods used in apparel
industry. These are in below:
1. Pattern drafting method
2. Pattern draping method
3. Flat pattern making method
Here are the following methods that are related to the pattern
workroom:
1. Pattern drafting method:

measurements taken on a person, dress or dummy. To complete the

pattern, measurements are taken for chest, waist, hip and so on, and
ease allowances are marked on paper and construction lines are
drawn also. This drafting method is used to made basic, foundation or
design patterns. Basic pattern set is the example of drafting method.
Fig: Pattern drafting method

2. Pattern draping method:
Pattern draping method is a three-dimensional process of
pattern making. In this pattern making method, muslin cloth is used
to drape over a Human body or on a mannequin. For making this
draping method commonly used muslin, plain weave fabric of
unfinished cotton fabric. When a two dimensional (2D) piece of fabric
is around on a form of dress or a model, following its shape, creating a
three-dimensional (3D) fabric pattern. To get an actual design for
finished garment, pattern maker give ease allowances for movement
before the garment piece is cut and sewn. This pattern can be marked
with pencil lines and the finished muslin pattern can be used
repeatedly. But, it is requires more material, more expensive and time
consuming than flat paper pattern making method.

3. Flat pattern making method:
Flat paper pattern making method is used to the development of
a fitted basic pattern with ease movement and comfort to fit a person
or body form. For developing a standard pattern, it is the fastest and
most efficient method, so that the basic block is modified to create
new and various styles. It is dependent on previously developed

patterns. In flat pattern making, the patterns are manipulated by
using a slash or pivotal method to create design patterns.
Fig: Flat paper pattern making method

A sloper is the starting point for flat pattern making or
designing. Sloper is types of basic pattern that drafted on specific
body measurements and do not attached a seam allowance, comfort
ease, or any other design elements. Slopers are manipulated to create
different styles of fashion garment. In the present day it is mainly
draped by Computer aid techniques. To get a good pattern making,
accurate measurements are most important.
The development of a garment comprises of different process. Fit

is the most important factor leading to the final acceptance or
rejection of a garment. Fit must be designed into the original pattern
through subtleties in the pattern that provide fullness unobtrusively
at appropriate locations to accommodate body bulges in a flattering
manner (Hudson). Good customized fit is dependent on the pattern
drafting incorporating various shapes and proportions of the
individual customer. With the onset of the Industrial Revolution,
standardized patterns were essential to the success of ready-to-wear
clothing.

Pattern making is an art. It is the art of manipulating and
shaping a flat piece of fabric to conform to one or more curves of the
human figure . Pattern making is a bridge function between design
and production. A sketch can be turned into a garment via a pattern
which interprets the design in the form of the garment components
(Cooklin).
A pattern is flat while the body is not. The body has height,
width and depth. With in this roughly cylindrical framework there are
a series of secondary curves and bulges, which are of concern to the
pattern maker. Darts are the basis of all pattern making. They convert
the flat piece of cloth into a three dimensional form, which fits the
bulges of the body.
A patternmaker typically makes a pattern from a flat sketch

with measurements or a two dimensional fashion illustration. The
basic pattern is the very foundation upon which pattern making, fit
and design are based. The basic pattern is the starting point for flat
pattern designing. It is a simple pattern that fits the body with just
enough ease for movement and comfort (Shoben and Ward).
Methods of Pattern Making
Pattern making involves three methods

• Drafting
• Draping
• Flat paper patternmaking
Drafting: It involves measurements derived from sizing systems

or accurate measurements taken on a person, dress or body form.
Measurements for chest, waist, hip and so on, and ease allowances
are marked on paper and construction lines are drawn to complete the
pattern. Drafting is used to create basic, foundation or design
patterns.
Draping: It involves the draping of a two dimensional piece of

fabric around a form, conforming to its shape, creating a three-
dimensional fabric pattern. This muslin is transferred to paper to be
used as a final pattern (Armstrong). Ease allowances for movement are
added to make the garment comfortable to wear. Advantage of draping
is that the designer can see the overall design effect of the finished

garment on the body form before the garment piece is cut and sewn.
However, it is more expensive and time consuming than flat pattern
making.
Flat Pattern Making: It involves the development of a fitted

basic pattern with comfort ease to fit a person or body form. A sloper
is the starting point for flat pattern designing. It is a simple pattern
that fits the body with just enough ease for movement and comfort
(Shoben and Ward). Five basic pattern pieces are used for womens
clothing. They include a snug-fitting bodice front and bodice back with
darts and a basic neckline, a sleeve and a fitted skirt front and back
with darts. However, as fashion changes frequently womens styles
fluctuate frequently. These basic slopers are then manipulated to
create fashions.
A basic sloper has no seam allowances, which facilitates its

manipulations to various styles. It has no design interest, only
construction lines are marked on it. It is necessary that the basic
structure of a sloper should be such that adjustments can be
introduced easily. For a good pattern making, accurate measurements
are of utmost importance.
The flat patternmaking method is widely used in the ready-to-

wear market because it is fast and accurate (Aldrich).
Pattern making in today’s world
Pattern making today has become an easy job with the use of
the computers. Now-a-days different softwares are available in the
market to meet the needs of the manufacturers. The different
softwares used are Gerber, Lectra, Tukatech , OptiTex etc. These
softwares has made the job of the Pattern master easier. They have
made the process of pattern making more economical and less time
consuming.
Pattern-making softwares enables you to input your

measurements and draft out a pattern. These softwares draft patterns
to fit your measurements specifically, eliminating much fitting trial
and error in the sewing room.

A pattern can be made from a 3D form in just a few steps by
using these softwares. An individual's measurements are collected
from 3D body scanner. The measurements are used to create a virtual
3D model of the individual's body. The 3D to 2D software allows the
user to define a garment surface in relation to the 3D body model.
Once the garment surface is defined, the application automatically
unwraps and outputs a 2D flat pattern.
