Lesson ASSEMBLE GARMENT PARTS
1 FOR LADIES TROUSERS
What Is It
This lesson will tackle on how to assemble the garment part of ladies’ trousers.
What’s New
Fitting
1. Check the grainlines, ease, balance, and the position of all seams when fitting the
garment. Remember, drag lines point to the source of the trouble.
2. Start at the seven- inch grainline first and fit the front, then the back. The crosswise
grainline at the seven- inch hipline must be kept parallel to the floor. The creases in
each leg must be perpendicular to the floor. Pants have four centers, whereas skirts
only have two.
3. Adjust the darts before fitting the outseams. The darts may be shifted to the area
where they are needed.
1
4. Mini-darts, about two inches long, may be used between the large darts and the side
seams.
Pressing
Tip: If you worry about shine what you can do is use a piece of thin cloth over the top
of our trousers before pressing. Be sure to use a cloth that does not leave bits of fluff.
Select an iron temperature and settings consistent with the pant fabric. Steam works
for most fibers, test on a small hidden area such as the pocket bag or waistband inside
before pressing the entire pant. Some fabrics may require the use of a press cloth to prevent
shine when pressing on the right side. Press on a long flat surface, preferably a padded
ironing board.
What Is It
You have come to the final stage in assembling the garment parts for ladies’
trousers. There are standard procedures on how to assemble the parts systematically, but
nowadays, dress makers or sewers have their own standard and own technique in
assembling and sewing the garment parts according to their own convenient.
What’s New
Assembling the trousers
1. The crotch seam and all leg seams are made before the pocket and placket are
constructed.
2. The outside leg seams, pocket and placket are constructed before the inside leg and
the crotch seams are made. The first method is common and will be the one that is
employed in our slacks.
2
Front of trousers
1. Stay stitch waistline and side edges, inside leg seam edges, and front crotch seam
edges.
2. Machine baste darts and tucks; do not machine stitch until after first fitting.
Back of trousers
1. Stay stitch back sections of slacks and machine baste darts in front.
1. Baste front pocket section to front of garment side seam, and back pocket section to
back of garment side seam on seam lines, right sides together; stitch. Pocket inside
seam: in step 1, the front pocket section has been basted to the front of the garment side
seam, and the back pocket section to the back of the garment side seam. Step 4 shows
that the pocket sections have been stitched together and the pocket top has been pinned
to the waistline of the front of the garment so that it will be caught permanently in the
waistline seam.
3
2. Press back seam allowance toward the back of the garment. Press front seam
allowances toward front of the garment.
3. Turn pocket inside, rolling seam just to under side; machine top stitch on front edge of
garment ¼” from fold to form firm pocket edge. If top stitching is not desired, a press
seam allowance toward pocket and under stitch before pocket is turned inside.
4. Pin-based and stitch pocket sections together, beginning at point where sections are
joined to side seams, and continue around bottom and sides to waistline edge of pocket.
5. Pin pocket top to waistline of garment front so it will be caught permanently in waistline
seam.
1. Take several stitches ¼” long across seam at lower end of pocket opening, using
buttonhole twist or embroidery thread to match garment.
2. Cover ¼” stiches with tiny overhand stitches close together, catching a few threads
of the fabric at the same time. Work across ends with tiny overhand stitches.
Placket
Insert zipper as directed for side zipper.
Waistband
Construct and apply waistband, using either top-stitched application given for the
gartered skirt or directions of the skirt which feature the invisible stitching and the
longer under lap, as well as interfacing. The latter waistband may be top stitched
along all edges for a more tailored appearance if desired.
Fasteners
Attach hook-and-eye fasteners to waistband as directed for skirt.
Pressing
Give trousers a final pressing, matching inside and outside leg seams to locate
position for front and back creases.

Lesson APPLY FINISHING TOUCHES
3 ON LADIES TROUSERS
What Is It
This lesson deals on applying the finishing touches on ladies’ trousers.
What’s New
Trousers need not be over-decorated with embellishment except for those pants
worn during presentations or shows. There are just some embellishments and decorations
which we can employ in our trousers. Trousers are formal wear that is why, there is no need
to put many decorations in it.
TYPES OF FASTENERS
Buttons
Buttons are one of the oldest forms of fastening. They come in many shapes and
sizes, and can be made from a variety of materials including shell, bone, plastic, nylon, and
metal. Buttons are sewn to the fabric either through holes on their face, or through a hole in
stalk called a shank, which is on the back. Buttons are normally sewn on by hand, although a
two-hole button can be sewn on the machine.
Snap Fastener
Snap Fastener are used where a lightweight fastening is needed. They are available
in a back or silver metal finish in a range of sizes. Small, clear plastic snaps may be used on
fine fabrics. There are many types of non sew snap with decorative metal or colored caps,
which are attached using a special tool or a hammer.
Zipper
The zipper is probably the most used of all fastenings. There are many types
available, in variety of lengths, colors, and materials, but they all fall into one of five
categories: skirt or paint zippers, metal or jeans zipper, invisible zippers, open-ended
zippers, and decorative zippers.

Lesson
4 FINISHING TOUCHES
In this lesson, you will learn on how to put the finishing touches of a trousers.
What Is It
What’s New
1. Hemming Stitches
6
Straight stitching is used for jeans or for the lining
of dress pants. The seam side of pant linings
normally faces the seam side of the pants so that the
interior and the exterior of the pants both present the
finished side. Pant linings are usually sewn with the
pants right side out, but with the pant leg gathered
toward the crotch so that the lining extends enough
for sewing.
For blind stitching, set the stitch width and the stitch
pattern to the correct position. Here, the stitch width
lever has been set to the middle position.

Hook and straight eye
1. Stitch the hook to the wrong side of the overlapping
edge, with their ends about 1/8 in (3mm) in from the
edge. Close up the opening and mark the positions of
the bears with pins on the right side of the under lap.
Lapped Zipper- Skirt zipper in a skirt or a dress is usually put in by means of a lapped
technique or a centered zipper technique. For both of these techniques, you will require
the zipper foot on the sewing machine. A lapped feature one side on the seam- the left-
hand side- covering the teeth of the zipper to conceal them.
1. Sew the seam, leaving enough if the seam open to accommodate the zipper.
2. Secure the end of the stitches.
3. Insert the right- hand side of the zipper first. Fold
back the right- hand seam allowance by 1/2 in
(1.3cm). this folded edge is not in line with the seam.
4. Place the folded edge against the zipper teeth.
Baste.

LABELING OF GARMENTS
5
What’s In
Labels are not functional component of a garment but essential for many reasons.
There are 7 common labels found in garments namely: brand label, size label, label,
manufacturer code, lien mark label and special label. Each label has specific purpose and
carry some kind of information.
1. Brand or Main Label – indicates the brand name or brand logo of company where the
garment comes from. Customers who like branded items simply look at the label and they
easily pick and buy the items. A brand label should have the product quality. Examples of
brand labels are Levis, Lee, Tommy Hilfiger for t-shirts, Adidas for shoes, Zara for dresses,
and many more.
2. Size Label-has the specific measurement of human body such as S for small, M for
medium, L for large or XL for extra-large. Buyers would prefer to look at to the size label to
see which one fits his/her size.
3. Care Label-includes wash care and ironing instructions. This is attached at side seam to
warn wearers on what to do during washing, drying or ironing to maintain the color, design,
shrinkage ability and composition that make up the garment. Example: 60% cotton, 40%
polyester. This also includes the country where it is made like “Made in the Philippines”,
Made in USA”, etc.
4. Flag Label-is a small label attached at side seam with printed brand logo. Some garments
especially T- shirts have flag label embroidered or printed at the upper right side of the
garment as design feature.
11
5. Manufacturer Label-includes manufacturer’s code for the buyers who wants to order the
items from different parts of the world.
6.Batch Mark Label-indicates which sewing line or batch had made the particular garment.
Only few garment manufacturers add this label for the internal quality inspection process and
rectify which line had made the garment and which checker had check the same. This is
normally attached at side seam under wash care label.
7. Special Label- is normally attached to draw customer’s attention at the time of purchase.
Examples are 100% cotton, organic cotton, etc.
FUNCTIONS OF PACKAGING
1. Protects the Product and Consumer – good packaging is designed to protect the
product. For example, packages should be designed to withstand humidity, puncture, and
other types of damage.
2. Contains the Product – containers make products easy to carry and keep them
separately.
3. Identity of the Product – a package would be less useful if it does not identify its
contents. Usually, the contents are identified by the label on the package. However, using a
special design or color on the package helps customers identify the contents.
4. Promotes the Product – the package is the natural place for promotion. It is part of the
product which is most visible to the customer.
5. Makes the Product Easy to Use – cartons with spouts for easy pouring, boxes with zip-
strip openings, butter wrappers with measurement marked on them are examples of the
conveniences offered by packaging. In each of these examples, the package is designed
with the user’s need in mind.
PACKAGING MATERIALS
1.Paper and cardboard– are among the most widely used packaging materials. Paper is
inexpensive, lightweight, fairly strong and easy to print on. Cardboard has all the advantages
of paper and is heavier and stronger.
2. Wood and glass – are traditional materials for the sturdier or more specialized forms of
packaging. Wood makes sturdy shipping crates, which are reused many times. Glass is used
mainly to hold liquids or products containing liquids. It doesn’t leak and has no smell.
3.Plastic – is used in many forms for packaging. It is shaped into jars and bottles; it is
molded into boxes, baskets, and trays; it is processed into sheets for packaging toys, bed
linens, small articles of clothing and wide variety of products.
4.Metal – is a material that has been used to pack liquids and food products. The most
commonly used metal container is the can. At one time, all cans were made of steel with a
tin plating. Today, aluminium cans are popular, as containers of soft drinks.
5. Metallic Foil – extremely thin sheet metal, is widely It can be used in commerc ial
packaging. It can be folded and wrapped almost like paper and yet has the strength
and moisture resistance of metal.
12
PACKAGING FORMS
Some of the most familiar forms of packaging are boxes and crates, bottles and jars,
and bags and wrappers.
1. Skin Packaging – plastic film is molded tightly over a product mounted on a card.
3. Aerosol or Dump dispenser – a container that releases contents in spray or foam when
valve is pressed.
4. Flexible Pouch – is a package formed from plastic film or paper that is filled with the
product and sealed by heat process.
5. Shrink Wrap – is a package made by placing clear film around the product itself.
6. Multipack - is a special package design that groups two or more packaged products into
a unit for easier display, carry home utility, or user convenience.
7.Aseptic Packaging – combines many good qualities of cardboard, metal and glass. These
containers are called “aseptic” because they keep germs out of foods that need no
refrigeration.
8. Dispensing Closure – is a cap, lid, or seal through which the contents of the container
can be dispensed in a controlled manner.
1. Initial finishing inspection: checking done prior to pressing of the garment at finishing
room is known as initial finishing.
2. Final finishing Inspection: After pressing garments are again checked and passed for
tagging and packing.
3. Internal final audit: After garments are packed up to certain quantity, quality control
team, do audit of packed garments. This process is carried out to ensure that before
handling over shipment to buyer.
