Lesson
Sew and Assemble Ladies’
1 Trousers (part 1)
In this lesson, you will learn about preparations of cut parts, sewing and
assembling of garment parts particularly the darts and pockets in accordance with
the job requirements.
What’s In
1. What precautionary measures did you observe

while cutting the fabric?
2. Which parts of the trousers did you cut first?

and why?
What’s New
Which of the given shapes would complete the sequence?
Assembling of the pants/trousers followed a sequence as well. Sewing is done in a

specific order to finish the garment. Let us go into each step of how to sew and
assemble the trousers/pants in this lesson.
What is it
A good output can be achieved in preparing cut parts by pinning same parts and
applying correct pressing techniques.
Key Points in Preparing Cut Parts of Garment

1. Use both hands to anchor work flat on the table.
2. Big units should be separated from the small units.
3. Units must be labeled to avoid confusion when sewing.
4. Place garment parts to be sewed first on the right side of sewing machine
table for easy reach.
2
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. The heads should be pointing towards you so that you can
remove them easily without pricking your fingers.
Vertical fabric pinning is especially useful for sewing curves or ruffles as it

securely holds the fabric in place. The pins are placed at a 90-degree angle to
the edge of the fabric. Place your pins across the seam allowance with the heads
sticking out. Since the pins are pinned through the main fabric, it is advisable
to first make sure they don’t mark the fabric.
PRESSING TECHNIQUES
Correct pressing during garment construction is important because it
helps create and maintain the shape of the garment. The fabric should be
free of folds and wrinkles before beginning to work.
Pressing 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.
UNIT METHOD OF CONSTRUCTION

In assembling a garment, the unit method of construction is the fastest and
the most effective way. It is an organized way of assembling a garment. When the
garment is cut, each piece is a unit. There are five units in trousers/pants such as
the front and back leg parts, placket, pocket and waistband. when sewing the
garment, each part is sewn completely before it is attached to the other parts and
become a new unit.
The unit method of construction has the following ADVANTAGES:

1. Each part of the garment 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.
3
4. The needed marks in constructing the garment can be carefully checked.
5. The time intervals between household chores can be used for sewing.
The darts and pockets can be sewn today, the zipper can be attached tomorrow and
then the waistband a day later.
Steps in Assembling the Trousers/Pants (Unit Method of Construction)

A. Sewing the darts
Darts are the stitched folds on the material; they taper at one end. They are used
for controlling fullness to fit the curved areas of the body particularly at the waistline
to control fullness over the hips. Darts should be sewn before seams are joined.
1. Fold the fabric on the wrong side, on the center line of the dart. Mark stitching
line with pins.
2. Stitch darts, starting from the wide portion up to the pointed end. Leave the
threads long enough to secure with a knot.
Attach the front pockets
Pin the pocket to the front part of the pants. (right

side to right side)
Sew following the stitching line
Cut the excess seam allowance. Just leave ¼ of an

inch
Make a small cut/snips in the seam allowance

following the curve of the pocket
4
Top stitch the seam
allowance to the pocket
side.
Top stitch the pocket to

the front pants at least
1/4 of an inch
Pin the bottom of the pocket with the wrong side

facing each other.
Then, sew following the bottom curve of the

pocket.1/8 away from the edge of the bottom of the
pocket
Reverse the bottom of the pocket to finish it at

the other side
Sew 3/8 of an inch away from the bottom of the pocket
Attach the top part of the pocket to the

waistline. Make sure that it is 1 ½ away
from the side seam.
5
Attach the pocket to the side seam following the
seamline so that it will be permanently attached.

What is it
Zipper is a minor item in assembling of a garment, but it has its great

importance. We can’t use buttons everywhere on our pants, trousers and jeans. It is
zipper that facilitates us in different manners in our garment designing and
assembling. Zipper offers a very easy way to use in shirts, pants, or jackets, it serves
in different styles and designs.
Attach the zipper before sewing the pants legs, waistband, or pockets. It is
easier to insert zippers while the pattern pieces are separated and flat, as well as it is
easier to start over if you make a mistake

What is it
A seam is a term that refers to the stitching line where two fabrics are stitched
together. It is the basic building block of a garment. Seams form the structure of the
garment and help to create the garment.
The out seam or side seam is the outer length of the pants - measured from the
top of the waistband, down the side to the bottom of the hem.
The inseam is the inner length of the pants - measured from the point in the
crotch where both leg seams meet down the inner seam of the leg to the bottom of the
hem.

What’s New
Name the pictures. How are they used in dressmaking?
2
What is it
A. Sew the darts

D. Join the Inseam and Out seam/Side seam
E. Finish the seam edges
Seam finishes are a very important part of the sewing process. They
are usually made on the wrong side of the garment.
They make the inside of your garment or project look just as neat and
clean and professional as the outside, and it prevents the fabric from fraying
and maintain the stability of the seam through numerous wearing and
washings.
The type of seam finish you choose will depend on the fabric, the
strength and type of seam, and the visual effect desired.
SEAM EDGES ARE FINISHED BY USING ONE OF THE FOLLOWING SEAM

FINISHES:
1. Pinked finish. This is a no-sew seam finish created by simply cutting the fabric
with special scissors called pinking shears. This gives a neat finish, but it should be
used only on firm, closely woven fabrics which are not transparent.
2. Overcast finish. This is used on fabrics that ravel easily and where a flat
finish is needed. When making an overcast edge, trim the edges neatly
and beautifully and make overcasting stitches from right to left. Make
slanting stitches on the edge of the seam 1 cm apart and 1 cm deep.
3
3. Edge turned and stitched seam. This is a heavier finish than
overcasting and pinking seam finishes. This finish is suitable for
lightweight fabrics. To make this finish, trim the seams and turn under
raw edges. Machine stitch or make running stitches on the edges.
4. Blanket stitch finish. This can be used instead of overcasting. The blanket
stitch finish is more attractive and more suitable to loosely woven fabrics.
4
5. Overlocked Seam. This is done with the used of an edging or zigzag machine.
This is the finish that commonly seen in factory made garments
6. Zig Zag
This alternative to a straight stitch finish is made with a zigzag function on
a sewing machine.
7. French Seam: This is used on transparent and light weight fabrics, especially on
baby clothes and delicate blouses. It is a neat and durable finish as the raw edges
are completely enclosed. The two pieces of materials to be joined are placed together
with wrong sides facing. Work a row of stitching 1/8 inch from the edge. Press the
seam and turn the work so that the right sides are together. Crease the first row of
stitching so that it is directly on the edge. Tack and stitch along the seam line about
1/8 inch from the fold.
