This module was designed and written with you in mind. It is here to help you develop
knowledge, skills, and attitudes in the performance of Dressmaking tasks. The scope of
this module permits it to be used in many different learning situations. The language used
recognizes the diverse vocabulary level of students. The lessons are arranged to follow the
standard sequence of the course. But the order in which you read them can be changed to
correspond with the textbook you are now using.
The Module 8 is divided into two lessons, namely:
•
Lesson 1 – Laying out pattern pieces for children’s wear
•
Lesson 2 – Cutting fabric and Transferring of pattern marks onto the fabric
After going through these lessons, you are expected to:
1. use proper tools, materials, and equipment for laying-out, pinning, cutting, and
transferring of patterns marks on the fabric;
2. follow the guidelines in laying-out, pinning, cutting, and transferring of pattern marks
on the fabric; and
3. lay-out and pin pattern pieces, cut fabric and transfer pattern marks on the fabric
correctly.
Find the meaning of the following words. You can use dictionary for reference. (1 point each)
1. Selvage
2. Warp
3. Weft
4. Bias facing
5. Seam line

Lesson
1
Laying out and pinning of pattern pieces on the fabric in preparation for cutting is one of the
most important procedures in sewing a children’s wear. There are methods and techniques
in preparing the materials before laying out and pinning the pattern pieces. The preparation
of materials like fabric should be done carefully and accurately for an appealing result.
Preparing the materials correctly and laying out and pinning the patterns onto the fabric
accurately will help to have an excellent output. The success of making this will depend on
how you follow the ways, techniques, and methods.
Have you ever worn a garment with one side seam that kept twisting toward the front? That
is a typical consequence of fabric that has not been cut on the grain.
Have you ever sewn a garment and ended up with different lengths when trying to match up
a seam? That can often happen when your cutting is not as accurate as it could be.
Properly prepping and cutting your fabric is the first step for sewing garments that fit well.
Cutting your patterns out accurately, and on the straight of grain, is essential for seams that
go together with ease, and continue to hang well while wearing.
On the other hand, transferring your pattern markings onto fabric itself is an important step
that will set you up to sew more easily.
Construction markings are very helpful during the sewing process and transferring them to
the fabric is a good idea. Why? It is because it will help you to transfer the important pattern
markings and symbols from your patterns onto fabric to achieve your preferred design.
Remember
In dressmaking, it is important to finish your work by following the step-by-step guideline and
procedures so that you will achieve the accuracy in it. Sooner or later, you will be benefited
by practicing that process because not everyone is given this kind of knowledge and skill.

2. FABRICS
3. PATTERN PIECES
4. PINS

GUIDELINES IN LAYING-OUT AND PINNING PATTERN PIECES ON THE
FABRIC:
It is the process of arranging the pattern pieces of fabric laid on a flat smooth
surface of the table.
In doing this, the pattern pieces should be properly aligned on the surface of the fabric
parallel to the selvage so that the fabric will straighten when cut. You must also
consider the design in laying out of pattern and maximized the materials to avoid
wasting.
It is also important to remember that the largest piece of the pattern should be laid
out first down to the smallest pieces.
Note: Before proceeding in laying-out your fabric, make sure you press/iron the whole
fabric to remove the wrinkles because wrinkled fabrics cannot be cut accurately. Check also
if the fabric’s wrong side is in the outside part.
BLOUSE and COLLAR:
1. Lay large pieces of pattern first on the cloth
2. Check that the center fold symbol falls on the folded edge of the fabric.

cloth.

PINNING PATTERN PIECES ON THE FABRIC:
Sewing pin is a tool used in pinning the pattern onto the fabric. It is the process of
holding two or more fabrics together. There are only three ways of pinning the
pattern pieces; vertical, horizontal, and diagonal.
Techniques in pinning the pattern pieces to fabric:
1. Checked the folded edge of the pattern pieces aligns with the fabric fold,
otherwise, the pattern pieces will be smaller or larger than the correct size.
2. Check the distance of the pattern pieces before pinning them.
3. Start pinning the corner of the pattern pieces diagonally to hold more the
pattern and to make it flat.
4. Put only enough pins, too many pins may twist the edge of the pattern and
fabric.
5. Place the pins on the seam allowances, 2.5 cm or 1 inch away from the edge
of the fabric or pattern pieces. The distance of each pin is at least 12.5cm or 5
inches away from the other pins.
Note: Always minimize the pin holes if possible, most especially on a delicate
fabric.

Lesson
2
Cutting Fabric and
Transferring of Pattern
Marks on the Fabric
Cutting (sewing) – is the process right after laying-out which cut out the pattern
pieces from specified fabric for making garments.
For example: Cutting your fabric properly with the help of the dressmaker’s shear is
one of the important steps to achieve your desired garment piece.
Transferring of Pattern Marks – an act or process of moving construction
marks from pattern pieces to the fabric.
For example: I need to transfer all these pattern markings and symbols to the
fabric because it will serve as my guide while sewing.
TOOLS AND MATERIALS NEEDED IN CUTTING:
1. Cutting Table
2. Dressmaker’s Shears

GUIDELINES IN CUTTING THE FABRIC FOR YOUR CHILDREN’S WEAR:
Always remember to ask the teacher first to approve your layout before
proceeding to cut. Then study your layout and decide on the order of cutting the
fabric. Where should you start? How should your fabric be placed on the work
surface? Where should you stand?
And always remember these useful tips so you can run your project smoothly:
1. Practice using the shears on a piece of cloth to have a smooth cutting line.
2. Cut along the pattern so that the other hand rests on the pattern.
3. Do not lift the fabric.
4. When cutting curves, your strokes will be shorter. Keep your free hand close
to the cutting line to help you cut a smooth curved line.
5. Cut the bigger parts first, smaller parts should be cut last.
6. As you cut, walk around the table. Do not pull the fabric toward you as the
fabric may slip or stretch out of shape.
7. After cutting each part, put it aside. Do not remove the pins and patterns as
you will need them in marking the fabric.
8. Collect and keep all scraps of cloth together for future use.
FRONT BLOUSE:
BACK BLOUSE:
1. Cut back blouse from neckline,
shoulder to the hem.
2. Move around the table while cutting
the fabric.
1. Lay your hands on the fabric while
cutting.

GUIDELINES IN TRANSFERRING PATTERN MARKS ON THE FABRIC:
Transferring pattern markings to the cloth must be done accurately so that the
finished garment will look peculiar. You are now familiar with the tools used in
transferring pattern markings. Now, remember these pointers for accurate
markings on your fabric.
1. The pattern details should be marked on the wrong side of garment pieces.
2. Place a piece of cardboard or newspaper under the fabric to prevent you from
marking the table.
3. Remove the pins from the part where the marks are to be transferred.
4. Trace the seam line into the fabrics.
