Introductory Message
Welcome to TLE – HE Dressmaking 9!

The Dressmaking 9 Activity Sheet is a product of the collaborative efforts of

the Schools Division of Kabankalan City and DepEd Regional Office VI - Western
Visayas through the Curriculum and Learning Management Division (CLMD). This is
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 Dressmaking 9 Activity Sheet is self-directed instructional materials

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 Dressmaking 9 Activity Sheet will help you facilitate the teaching-learning
activities specified in each Most Essential Learning Competency (MELC) with minimal
or no face-to-face encounter between you and learner. This will be made available to
the learners with the references/links to ease the independent learning.

For the learner:

The Dressmaking 9 Activity Sheet is developed to help you continue learning

even if you are not in school. This learning material provides you with meaningful and
engaging activities for independent learning. Being an active learner, carefully read
and understand the instructions then perform the activities and answer the
assessments. This will be returned to your facilitator on the agreed schedule.

II. Background Information for Learners

Lesson 1 Pre-Assembling Procedure

1. Sorting/Bundling: Sorting or Bundling is the process of matching patterns

according to size and design. The sorter makes bundles of patterns. This step
requires much precision because making bundles of mismatched patterns can
create severe problems. On each bundle there are specifications of the style, size
and the marker is attached with it.

2. Sewing/Assembling: The sorted bundles of fabrics are now ready to be

stitched. Large garment manufacturers have their own sewing units but some
give the fabrics under contract to other contractors. Stitching in-house is
preferable because one can maintain quality control during the processing.

There are sewing stations for sewing different parts of the cut pieces. In this
workplace, there are many operators who perform a single operation. One
operator may make only straight seams, while another may make sleeve insets.
Yet another two operators can sew the waist seams, and make buttonholes.
Various industrial sewing machines, too, can make different types of stitches.
These machines have different configurations of the frame. Some machines work
sequentially and feed their finished step directly into the next machine, while the
gang machines have multiple machines performing the same operation
supervised by a single operator. All these factors determine what parts of a
garment can be sewn at that station. Finally, the sewn parts of the garment, such
as sleeves or pant legs, are assembled to give the final form to the clothing.
Lesson 2 Pressing Tools, Materials and Equipment

Here is a list of ironing equipment and pressing tools you will need to get the best
pressing results.
Lesson 3 Pressing techniques

Have you already experienced ironing your clothes? Of course, you had! Here in
dressmaking, when you sew, you must learn also how to use the iron in a new way. Have
you heard the word “Press”? Right! Pressing and Ironing are two different uses of
electric iron.

Pressing is lifting and placing the iron on the garment.

Ironing is pushing and using pressure to iron out the wrinkles of the garment.

You must learn to press as you sew. It is a good habit to press every detail in your garment
as you finish it. Read these 9 Pressing Tips on how to make your garment obtain a truly
finished look.

Seam Imprints
To avoid seam imprints on the right side of the fabric, place a strip of brown paper bag
between the seam allowance and the garment before pressing.

Rub Out Scorch

Marks If you scorch wool fabric by using an iron that is too hot, rub a nickel on the scorch
mark. The scorch mark will disappear. Be careful to use a clean nickel on light colored
fabrics.

Press As You Go
When sewing, never sew over an unpressed seam. Always press the seams as you go.
This will make sewing easier and will improve the quality of hanging of your finished
garment.

Ironing vs. Pressing

Ironing is done by using a back and forth motion. Pressing is done by using an up and
down motion. Ironing can stretch the fabric out of shape and can cause wrinkling and
puckering on finished garments. Always press.

Cool It
To keep freshly pressed fabrics and garments from getting wrinkled, allow them to rest
and cool down on the ironing board for a couple of minutes before moving them. If you
are in a hurry or just impatient, use a fan directed at the ironing board to cool down the
fabric and set the press.

Setting and Removing Creases

A solution of one part water and one part distilled white vinegar will remove an old crease
and/or set a new one. Dampen a press cloth with this mixture and press hard as the fabric
allows. Press until the press cloth is dry. The vinegar smell will dissipate as the fabric
dries.
Cleaning Your Iron
Irons get dirty and accumulate color from the fabric dye. Clean your iron periodically
especially when sewing and pressing light colored fabric. The best way to clean the
soleplate of your iron is with a commercial hot iron cleaner, sold at fabric and sewing
supply stores. This product is very easy to use.

Seam Roll
A seam roll can be used to press areas that are hard to lay on a flat surface, like a sleeve.
They also provide a curved surface for pressing seams without leaving imprints from the
seam allowance. If you do not have a seam roll, roll up a newspaper or magazine and
cover with a terry towel or insert in a wool sock.

Clapper
Use a clapper to flatten seams after pressing. A clapper can reduce bulk and make fabric
lay flat. Steam press the seam area. Press the clapper over the area to seal in the heat
and moisture. After about a minute, the fabric or seam will lay perfectly flat.

Procedure in Pressing Sleeping Garments

1. Pressing/ Finishing:
The next operations are finishing and/or decorating. Molding may be done to change the
finished surface of the garment by applying pressure, heat, moisture, or other
combinations. Pressing, pleating and creasing are the basic molding processes. Creasing
is mostly done before finishing processes like that of stitching a cuff. Creasing is also
done before decorating the garment with something like a pocket, appliqués, embroidered
emblems, etc.

Vertical and form presses are automated machines. They perform simple pressing
operations, such as touching up wrinkles in knit shirts, around embroidery and snaps, and
at difficult to reach places on garments.

Lesson 4 Application of Heat and Pressure

Due to variations in garments and heat presses, these settings may vary. For best results,
test different time/temperature combinations to find one that works best with your garment
/ heat press combination. Please take note, higher temperatures generally require less
time to prevent scorching. An insufficient time / temperature combination may hinder
Chroma Blast from completely curing the cotton fibers, thus resulting to wash out.

Selecting the right temperature when getting ready to iron clothing can make the
difference between ease and disaster. The right temperature selection will make ironing
easier and quicker. The wrong temperature means more work or disaster.

Fortunately, most irons have a sliding scale that indicates the correct setting for different
types of fabric. As a reference, use a scale of 1 to 7 - 1 being cool, 7 being very hot.
While all irons differ in temperature as per manufacturer, here is a basic guideline of
proper temperatures for ironing different fabrics:
