Information Sheet 3.1-1

PREPARING CUT PARTS OF ATHLETIC SHORTS

WHAT WILL YOU LEARN?

After reading this information sheet, you must be able to:
1. prepare garment cut parts; and
2. pin cut parts correctly.

Garment construction is not difficult if the cut parts are well-prepared and
pinned correctly. Let us study the key points in preparing cut parts and the
techniques in pinning cut parts. This will ensure accuracy when followed
correctly.

Key Points in Preparing Cut Parts of Garment

1. Use both hands to anchor work flat on the table.
2. Separate the big units from the small units.
3. Place the cut parts flat on the table.
4. Label the units to avoid confusion when sewing.
5. To get the garment parts to be sewed first, place garment parts to be sewed
first on the right side of sewing machine table for easy reach.

Pinning a Garment Together

Pinning is a way to keep pieces together. When pinning, line up the fabric
edges and pin. Arrange the pins horizontally in relation to which way the fabric
will feed into the machine. You don't want the machine needle to break on a
straight pin and fly into your face. If you are sewing fast and you forget a
straight pin is coming up, have the pin turned so that the needle will sew over
the pin instead of jamming into it.

Techniques in Pinning Cut Parts of the Garment

1. Cut parts should be kept flat on the table when pinning. The fabric should not
be lifted from the table or place the left hand under it. This may cause the
parts to get out of shape.
 64

2. Place pins perpendicular to the edges of the fabric.

3. Pin the fabric with an interval of 13 cm. Too many pins on the cloth tend to
wrinkle it.
4. On fine fabrics, use needles or weights for holding the fabric down. Tiny
safety pins are good markers on nets, laces and other loose materials which
shed pins quickly.

Method of Inserting Pins

1. For matching ordinary seams, hold the work up and insert pins at right angles
on the seam lines of both layers.
2. For lapped seams, pleats and other flat work on the table, use the fingers of
both hands spread to serve as weight to push up a little fold while the right
hand pushes the pin through. Smooth out the work before lifting the hands
entirely away, as in basting.

WHAT DO YOU NEED TO KNOW?

Read Information Sheet 3.1-2 very well then find out how much you can
remember and how much you learned by doing Self-check 3.1-2.

Information Sheet 3.1-2

PRESSING TECHNIQUES

WHAT WILL YU LEARN?

After reading this information sheet, you must be able to:
1. discuss on when to press garments parts; and
2. describe the evidence of good pressing.

Correct pressing during garment construction is important because it

helps create and maintain the shape of the garment. Pressing is a process by
which the iron is raised and lowered on the fabric in a series of up-and-down
motions. It may enlarge or shrink the fabric in desired areas. Poor pressing can
remove the shape of the garment by stretching or shrinking it in the wrong
places. Poor pressing can also destroy the texture and finish of the fabric.

Pressing Tips
 Set iron on heel stand when not using.
 Test iron temperature on a scrap of fabric.
 Press with the grain of the fabric.
 Press on the wrong side whenever possible.
 Avoid pressing directly on the zipper -- some zippers will melt!
 Do not press over pins -- this scratches the iron and also leaves a mark on
many fabrics.
 Do not press over basting. This may leave a mark on your fabric.
 Do not press over a stain or soil -- this makes it (stain) harder to remove
later.
 Do not over press. Too hot an iron, used too many times, or pressing a fabric
until it is dry will result in a tired look! It may also leave a shine on
synthetics.
 Unplug iron when you have finished using it.
 68

Evidence of Good Pressing

1. The original texture of the fabric is maintained.
2. No luster or press marks are shown on a dull-textured fabric.
3. No wrinkles or crinkled areas appear on a smooth-surfaced fabric.
4. Fabric does not fold over the stitching line or looks bubbled.
5. No water-spot marks are visible.

When to Press
1. When there are creases or wrinkles that will affect the accuracy of sewing.
2. When unit construction is used – construct and press one unit before joining
it to another unit.
3. When garments and parts of garments which will not stretch out of shape
should be hung on hangers in order to prevent wrinkling.

Temperature of the Iron

Use the correct temperature for each type of fabric as indicated on the
iron. If there is no temperature control on the iron, test the heat on a piece of
fabric before pressing.

Testing the Fabric

It is impossible to predict exactly how each fabric will react to pressing
due to the following reasons:
1. Many new fibers and blends of fibers in fabrics.
2. Wide variety of finishes used on fabrics

Therefore, it is wise to test fabric by experimenting on a scrap of the

cloth.
1. Select a scrap large enough so that one-half can be pressed while the other
half is left as purchased.
2. Try pressing it with or without moisture and check.
a. Maintain texture
b. Sharpness of creases
c. Press marks on the right side
d. Shrinking or puckering

SEWING AND ASSEMBLING ATHLETIC SHORTS

WHAT WILL YOU LEARN?

After reading this information sheet, you must be able to:
1. enumerate the advantages of unit method of construction; and
2. sew and assemble athletic shorts following the nit method of
construction.

It is always good to find ways and means in which we can do things

easier and faster. Remember, time is a very precious resource and it should be
used fully and creatively. If you follow these easy sewing techniques, you will
not only finish your sewing projects on time, but you also become more
systematic and more organized. So, let’s get started. Go over these techniques
and make sure you apply them when you sew your athletic shorts.

Sewing Athletic Shorts (Unit Method of Construction)

When the garment is cut, each piece is a unit as work progresses, two or
more pieces are combined to form a new unit.
This is called unit method of construction. It is an organized way of
assembling a garment.
It is a great advantage on the part of the dressmaker or tailor to know
how parts of the garments are joined together systematically, putting the pieces
part by part. Here are the advantages of unit method construction.

1. Each part of the dress is sewn completely before it is attached to other

parts.
2. Every piece sewn is not handled too much so the cloth does not become too
wrinkled.
3. The time consumed in sewing the dress is shorter.
4. The needed marks in constructing the dress can be carefully checked.
 72

5. The time intervals between household chores can be used for sewing.

ALTER COMPLETED GARMENT

WHAT WILL YOU LEARN?

After reading this information sheet, you must be able to:
1. describe the characteristics of a well fitted athletic shorts;
2. identify the fitting problems on athletic shorts; and
3. suggest ways on how to alter athletic shorts on the identified fitting
problem.

Characteristic s of a Well-made Athletic Short

 Well-made shorts are up to the challenge and stay in good shape for
some time.
 Sturdy, straight seams that do not gap when gently pulled.
 No loose threads and gaps in seams.
 Flat seams feel as soft and flexible as the rest of the garment.
 Fabrics feel soft to the touch.
 Drawstrings feel substantial enough to tug without fear of breakage.
Eyelets at the drawstring exit points reduce wear and tear on the fabric
at this potential weak point.
 Has a built-in mesh or cotton blend liner for convenience.

Evaluation of finished Athletic shorts

 Ease
Is the athletic short comfortable to wear?
 79

 Grain
Is the athletic short cut in the lengthwise grain?

 Line
Are structural lines like side seams, in seams, and hemline
properly made?
 Balance
Are the parts of the athletic shorts equally made with equilibrium?
Are the side seams of the same length? How about the in seam? The
bottom circumferences?

 Set
Are the parts properly attached like the waistbands, and pockets?

Fitting Problems for Athletic Shorts

Below are some fitting problems for Athletic Shorts

 Too short from waist to crotch
Fabric pulls into tight folds from crotch towards the hip on both back
and front.

Solution:
Lower the shorts to correct position, increasing size of waist by letting
out side seams. Re-cut the crotch seam in a lower position if necessary, but
this will reduce leg length, so check whether there is surplus length before
making the alteration.

 Too long from waist to crotch

Fabric falls in loose wrinkles from crotch down onto upper leg at back
and front.
Solution:
Lift the shorts to correct position, then reduce size of waist by taking
in at side seams, darts, and tucks if necessary. If this is not sufficient, lift
crotch seam by a maximum of 1/½ inch as well. Check fit finally with seam
allowances snipped around curve and pressed flat.

 Too wide across back

Fabric pulls into horizontal folds at waist, hips and thighs.
Solution:
Let out both inside and outside leg seams along entire length to give
a smooth fit. Release waist darts and tucks a little if necessary and adjust
waistband.
