 Learn (What is it/Discussion of the Topic)

PREPARATION OF MATERIALS FOR LADIES TROUSERS

Women’s fashions come and go, but pants are here to stay. Although the
basic shape may change from season to season, pants have become a favorite
fashion for women of all ages and for all kinds of activities.

Every woman who wears pants wants them to look good and feel
comfortable when she stands, sits, and walks. Three key factors contribute to
successful dressing in pants: style, fabric, and fit.

KEYS TO SUCCESSFUL PANTS

 STYLE - The first key is knowing which pant styles to avoid and which
styles to use with your figure type. Pant styles fall into three basic
silhouettes no matter what the current fashion trends are: fitted, straight,
and flared. The silhouette you select should be flattering to your figure type

 FABRIC SELECTION- The second key to attractive pants is correct fabric

selection. Denim, sports cloth, corduroy, velveteen, gabardine, and a variety
of medium-weight blends are suitable for pants. The fabric should be firmly
woven to hold its shape and wear well. It should drape over the figure
gracefully and should have good wrinkle resistance. Knits are usually a good
choice for comfort, but the weight of the knit determines its success as a
pant fabric. Avoid soft, clingy knits for most pants fashions—they emphasize
figure flaws.

 FIT- Fit is the third key to pants comfort and attractive appearance. Pants
should fit comfortably at the waistline and fall smoothly over the hips and
thighs. In well-fitted pants, the lengthwise grainline is perpendicular to the
floor and creases in the legs are on the straight grain. Pants length will vary
according to the silhouette.
PROCESS IN PREPARING THE MATERIALS BEFORE CUTTING

Before you start cutting, there are few things you need to do to get the best
result- especially when you are sewing a garment. By doing so you will prevent the
garment from shrinking and lose it shape.

1. Shrinking. Fold the cloth neatly and soak

it in a basin of water overnight.

2. Drying. Hang the cloth and let it dry

without squeezing

3. Pressing. If the cloth is not smooth when it

dries, pressing is necessary.

4. Straightening. If the cloth is not smooth

when it dries, pressing is necessary.

PROCEDURE IN FOLDING THE FABRIC BEFORE CUTTING

In preparing the fabric before cutting, the fabric should be folded “wrong
side” out. It is necessary to fold the fabric correctly, neatly, smoothly and
without crumpled/crease or you need to press or iron the fabric. It is necessary
to fold the fabric because our pattern is only half part of the garments, so we
need to fold the fabric to make two pieces equivalent to front
and back part of the garments.

PARTS AND FOLDS OF THE FABRIC

1. SELVAGE – the finished edge of a woven fabric

2. RAW EDGE – the cut edge of the fabric
3. WRONG SIDE –pale part of the fabric
4. RIGHT SIDE –the shiny or printed part of the fabric
5. GRAINLINE – the direction of yarn of the woven fabric

Commonly Used Ways of Folding the Fabric

LENGTHWISE FOLD
Folding the fabric selvage to CROSSWISE FOLD
selvage Folding the fabric raw edge to
raw edge or just enough for
the pattern.

BIAS FOLD
Folding the fabric in diagonal
line at 45 degrees from raw to
selvage part.
LAYING OUT PATTERN PIECES FOR LADIES TROUSERS

The fabric for the trouser should be preshrunk and pressed to ensure that
there will be no more shrinkage after it has been cut and sewn. The grainline
should be straightened. When laying out, cutting, and sewing, pay close attention
to the lines and contours of the fabric print or design, and see to it that they align
and match at appropriate points for the best appearance of the finished garment.
Lay the fabric out on a smooth, hard surface.
Use sharp pins to pin the pattern pieces to the fabric.

TRANSFERRING OF MARKS ONTO THE FABRIC

After cutting the garment pieces, you are ready to transfer your pattern
marks to the fabric. Use tailor’s chalk or dressmaker’s carbon paper aided by a
tracing wheel. Whichever tool you decide to use, make sure that you transfer all
important pattern marks clearly and accurately. The following are the general
details to be marked:

1. seam lines along curves and corners

2. position of pockets.
3. stitch lines
4. center lines for the front and back opening, facings and interfacings
5. darts
6. location of buttons and button holes
7. points where stitching lines should stop
8. fold lines
 9. any other special markings used to construct the garment

GUIDELINES IN TRANSFERRING MARKS ONTO THE FABRIC

1. Details should be marked on the wrong side of the fabric where most
construction lines are needed.
2. If you use a tracing wheel and dressmaker’s carbon paper, mount
these on a piece of heavy cardboard to protect table surfaces.
3. Use white tracing paper whenever possible because it is safe and easy
to remove.
4. Use a ruler to make straight lines with the tracing wheel. Run the
tracing wheel along the edge of the ruler with a firm and steady
motion to avoid double lines, which can be confusing.
5. When marking curves, slant the tracing wheel slightly inward toward
the center of the curve.
6. Avoid retracing or going over the line twice.
7. There are various methods in transferring pattern marking. Tailor’s
tacks are good for circles and dots, or mark these with a water or air-
soluble pen (when using a pen, test it on a piece of scrap fabric first).
For lines, you can use trace basting or a tracing wheel with
dressmaker’s carbon paper.

THE MOST COMMON TOOLS ARE:

1. TAILORS CHALK & MARKING

PENCILS - these are available in many
forms at sewing departments

2. DRESSMAKER'S CARBON PAPER- is available

in non-wax, wax, and vanishing forms. They
are all a sheet for of transferring material

3.TRACING WHEELS are available in a variety of

forms. Wheels are smooth or spiked. Some have
extra features such as a smooth area for
pressure marking

METHODS OF TRANSFERRING PATTERN MARKING

1. BY USING TAILOR’S TACKS

Often, dots are of different sizes so it is a good idea to
choose different colors of thread for each dot size. It is the
easy to match the colors as well as dots. Use double thread
in your needle, unknotted. Insert the needle through the dot
from right to left, leaving a tail of thread. Be sure to go
through the tissue and both layers of fabric.

2.BY USING TRACING PAPER AND WHEEL

This method is not suitable for all fabrics as the

marks may not be able to be removed easily. Slide
dressmaker’s carbon paper against the wrong side of the
fabric. Run a tracing along the pattern lines (a ruler will
help you make straight lines).Remove the carbon paper and
carefully pull off the pattern tissue. You will have dotted
lines marked on your fabric.

3.BY USING MARKERS

This method can only be used with a single layer of
fabric. Press the point of the pen into the center of the dot
marked on the pattern piece. Carefully remove the pattern.
The pen marks will have gone through the tissue on the
fabric. Be sure not to press the fabric before the pen marks
are removed or they may become permanent.

4.BY TRACE TACKING

This is a really useful technique to mark center
front lines, fold lines, and placement lines. With double
thread in your needle, stitch a row of loopy stitches,
sewing along the line marked on the pattern. This is a
really useful technique to mark center front lines, fold
lines, and placement lines. With double thread in your
needle, stitch a row of loopy stitches, sewing along the line marked on the
pattern.
TRANSFER PATTERN MARKS ON FABRIC CORRECTLY AND NEATLY.

 Mark the fabric for construction purposes.

 The marks will serve as guide in sewing.
 Do it on the wrong side part of the two pieces cut fabric.
 The construction marks applied should be legible, even, and smoothly
done.

PRACTICE EXERCISES/ACTIVITY
Activity 3. DIRECTIONS: Read and analyze the steps in fabric preparation.

Materials:

2. Follow the steps in preparing the fabric before cutting.
3. Practice three ways of folding the fabric.
4. Check your fabrics if there is a crumpled or crease then you may press
it flat or iron it.

ENGAGE (WHAT I have LEARNED/GENERALIZATIONS)

Body measurements are a prerequisite to pattern construction. The size and fit

of a garment depends upon the accuracy. At present, we are in the transition
between traditional manual measuring by tape measure and computerized body
scanning or using photographic systems.
Manual measuring requires a high degree of skill and is time consuming. The
techniques of body scanning are constantly improving and will supersede manual
methods in the future.
Whichever method is used, the first consideration is to decide which
measurements are required.
