Bermuda shorts
These are shorts extending almost to the
knee, worn for informal warm-weather dress.
Bermuda shorts, is also known as walking
shorts or dress shorts. It is a particular type of
short trousers, worn as semi-casual attire by
both men and women. The hem, which can be
cuffed or un-cuffed, is around 1 inch above the knee.
Baggies
These are loose-fitting swimming trunks, often with a
drawstring at the waist, especially as worn by surfers.
It has been a standard outfit for football during 1970 to 1990,
baggies was the term used during that period.
Cycling shorts
Cycling shorts are short, skin-tight leg wear
designed to improve comfort and efficiency while
cycling. They are also worn under skirts and dresses
by women.

Running shorts
These are designed to facilitate
comfort and free movement during
exercise. The materials used for these
kinds of shorts are lightweight and hard-
wearing. Polyester is a common fabric
used in running shorts. Many running
shorts include an inner lining that acts as
underwear, so you don't have to wear underwear with running
shorts.

In any sports activity, people wear athletic shorts to display their own
style of athletic shorts. Designers make stylish design to suit the needs of a
person and make their sportswear saleable. As a tailor, one should consider the
following factors in planning for athletic shorts production.
Material
Fabrics that can withstand heavy movements that go with any sport
activities must be chosen. It should be strong and durable. Denim, khaki,
gabardine, cotton twill, and fabric with twill weave are the fabrics appropriate
for athletic shorts.
Design
One has the option to choose a design which has a pleasing effect to
oneself.
Texture and color are factors that play important part in fabric selection.
Texture refers to the smoothness or dullness of a fabric. Does it feel smooth,
silky, or soft? Color is the reflection of an object that appears to our eyes.
Fabrics for athletic shorts should be sturdy and durable. Here are some of
the most appropriate materials for the athletic shorts, for they can withstand
heavy movements that go with sports activities:
Cotton blends
Designers blend cotton with synthetic fibers to impart some of cotton's cool
comfort to the manufactured materials in the fabric. Adding a small amount of
elastic spandex to cotton allows it to stretch and flex while maintaining its soft feel.
Cotton blends also wash well without losing their elasticity or soft feel.
Nylon
Thin, lightweight nylon weaves shed moisture rapidly and are often favored by
runners who want to keep cool over long distances when cotton would grow
sodden. For distance runners training in the gym, rip-stop nylon shorts are a
comfortable option. Nylon can also be woven into a mesh with very small
openings; the fabric is opaque, but it permits air to flow freely through it.
Professional basketball players wear nylon blend shorts to stay comfortable during
a full-length game.It is a synthetic fabric that is strong, low absorbent, holds in
body heat, and wrinkle resistant. It is used in making athletic shorts.
Spandex
This fabric's distinguishing characteristic is its ability to stretch in all directions.
This manufactured elastomeric fiber that can be repeatedly stretched over 500%
without breaking, and will still recover to its original length. It is often used in
compression shorts, biking shorts, and running shorts. For yoga, Pilates, and
gymnastic moves that require inversion of the legs over the body, spandex shorts
keep the legs of the pants from riding up on the wearer's thighs.
Microfiber
Any synthetic fabric woven from very fine fibers is termed a microfiber cloth.
Although it is synthetic, a microfiber fabric comes close to natural cotton in its
moisture-wicking capacity. Microfiber fabrics are lightweight and dry quickly,
making them an increasingly popular choice for workout shorts. This fabric is also
commonly used for swim trunks because of its rapid drying properties.
There are several fabrics to choose from but a designer must be guided by
the following guide questions to help the client choose the fabric that will match the
client’s preferences:
1. Is the fabric made of finely woven material? Is it of good quality?
2. Is the color becoming to the complexion of your client?
4. In what appropriate occasion can you wear your garment?
5. Is the fabric easy to maintain?
Test by Thumb
Determine the strength and shape-holding qualities both lengthwise and
crosswise of fabrics. With both hands, grasp a sample between your thumbs and
forefingers. Stretch the fabric by moving your hands back so that the thumbs
separate and the fingernails push together. Weak fabrics pull apart or become
thin where they are stretched.
Key points:
Today’s successful apparel designer has a philosophy of art, fashion and
history plus an understanding of the factors of one’s physical being. No matter how
well designed or beautiful a garment is, it will not be satisfying if it does not
contribute to the physical comfort of the wearer.
Procedure in
Taking Body Measurements
There are several parts of the body to be measured. These are taken in:
A. Horizontal measurement
B. Vertical measurement
C. Rise measurement
HORIZONTAL MEASUREMENT
Waist circumference
- Adjust your pants to a comfortable position
and measure around the narrowest part.
Insert two fingers under the tape measure.
They serve as ease or allowance
-
Hip circumference
- Measure around the fullest part of the hip
(buttocks). Again two fingers under the tape
measure for allowance
Thigh
- Measured around the fullest part of the thigh
in line with the crotch
Bottom circumference
- Locate the front and back crease of the
pants worn by the person. Measure around
the middle of the thigh or where the shorts
length ends
VERTICAL MEASUREMENT
Length of pants
- Adjust the pants to a comfortable position and
measure from the side seam below the belt to the
desired length of the pants
Crotch
- Position a ruler (12 inch) under the crotch between
waist band until the tip of the ruler.
Kinds of Pattern
Basically, there are two types of pattern: commercial and the drafted
pattern. Commercial patterns are based on standard measurements such as
Front Part
Make a construction line and mark as point A.
A to B – rise or crotch measurement.
A to C – athletic shorts length measurement
Square point B and C sideward.
B to D – ¼ of hip measurement.
D to E – measure 2 ½ inches.
Square point D upward and mark as point F.
D to G – measure 3 inches upward.
C to H – ½ of lap circumference.
Connect point E and point G with a French
curve.
Connect point E and point H with a slight curve.
Figure No. 1
Steps:
Front
From point C measure 2 inches sideward and mark as point 1.
From point C measure 3 inches upward and mark as point 2.
Connect point 1 and point 2 with a French curve.
(Note: Please be guided with labeled diagram. See figure no. 1)
Figure No. 3
Add pattern symbols (See figure no. 4)
Figure No. 4
1. Interpret pattern symbols indicated on each pattern piece. Apply /recall your
knowledge on the different symbols used on final patterns
2. Use appropriate cutting tool. It must be sharp enough to cut edges and curves
smoothly. Avoid using shears intended for fabrics, it may make the blades
dull.
3. Cut exactly on the seam allowances. Do not try to increase or decrease it so
that problems will be prevented during garment construction. This also
facilitates an easier and exact placement of patterns when planning for lay
outing.
4. To cut curved areas smoothly, like pockets, armholes and crotch slowly use
the tip of the scissors without lifting the pattern. This cutting stroke is also
applied during the cutting of fabrics.
5. For patterns that need to be prepared in double such as pockets, collar and
sleeves, have a ready pattern to plan the layout easily. This is an advantage
when the fabric is limited for specific projects but be sure to make its identical
pieces.
True bias - the diagonal of a perfect square of fabric. The bias line makes 45
degree angle with the lengthwise and crosswise threads.
This is done by pulling the cloth diagonally from one corner to the
opposite corner thus making the lengthwise grain to be at right angle. The
steps in stretching the grainline of fabrics are:
D. Pressing
Pressing is the process of removing wrinkles
and creases in fabric by using the flat iron. The
general rule is to press on the wrong side of the
cloth along the lengthwise grain. Pressing may
enlarge or shrink the fabrics.
Pressing Tips
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.
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.
Kinds of Trimmings
Loop– a fastening
which extends
beyond the finished
edges used on
closings with no lap
Pocket– a piece of
fabric applied to a
garment to form a
decoration.

Fabric Folds
1. Lengthwise center fold
The fabric is folded lengthwise at the center
with the selvage together.
Pattern Layout
It is the placement and arrangement of pattern pieces on the materials in an
economical way.
a. Tracing wheel
b. Tracing paper or carbon paper
c. Pencil
d. Ruler
e. Tailor’s chalk
Cutting tools are instruments that serve well if properly maintained. The best
quality cutting tools are hot-forge, high-grade steel honed to a fine cutting edge.
Blades should be joined with an adjustable screw to ensure even pressure along the
length of the blade.
Sharp cutting tools make clean cuts and well-defined notches. Furthermore,
and they do not damage fabric. On the other hand, dull tools slow the cutting
process, and make your hand and wrist tire easily. Sewing cutting tools should not
be used for other household task. Cutting tools must be sharpened regularly and the
joints are oiled occasionally for better use.
2. Cutting scissors
a. Trimming scissor
It is 3-4 inches long. It is used for trimmings, clipping threads and snipping
slashes.
b. Embroidery scissor
It has 4-5 inches finely tapered blades. Both points are sharp for use in
working with fine details in delicate fabrics and in embroidery work.
3. Seam ripper
Hook quickly rips seams, opens buttonholes and
removes stitches. This should be used carefully to avoid
piercing the fabric.
4. Thread clipper
It has spring action blades which are used for snipping
threads.
5. Rotary cutter
It is an adaptation of the giant rotary cutter used by the garment industry. It
works like a pizza cutter and can be used by left or right-
handed sewers. The rotary cutter is available in different
sizes with different blades. When using a rotary cutter,
work on a cutting mat to protect the blade and the cutting
surface.
7. Leather shears
These are used for cutting leather and suede. It
has heavy serrated edge.
8. Electric shear
This is available in one- or-two-speed models. Some
are battery operated, while the others may be plugged into
a n electric outlet for operation.
Cutting
Cutting with precision makes construction easier and more accurate. It also
contributes to the final success of the garment. To avoid mistakes cut all pieces in
one work session.
Be sure to have an exclusive table for cutting in a suitable place. Get
everything organized and do all the cutting at once.
Notes: When cutting, always start at the lower end of cloth or at your left hand
side. Doing this will avoid much remnants.
Regarding the sleeves, the ways may vary, depending on the style. You may add
more allowance on top sleeves, and other kinds of sleeves.
1. Gather all the equipment needed for the cutting process. Be sure to have an
exclusive table for cutting in a suitable place.
2. Use a pair of sharp cutting shears
3. Place one hand on the pattern close to the
cutting line.
4. Cut first the large pieces, then the small ones.
5. Cut straight edge with long even strokes and
curve edge with short strokes.
6. Cut notches away from the seam allowance.
Notches help to match sections during
construction.
7. As you cut, walk around the table instead of pulling the materials.
8. Do not allow any part of the fabric to hang over
the edge of a cutting table. This is especially
important in knitted fabrics.
9. Cut the entire fabric at one time.
10. After cutting each part, put it aside. Do not
remove the pins and pattern, for you will need
them in transferring marks.
11. Collect and tie all scraps of cloth together for
future use.
1. Sorting/Bundling:
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. Else, if contractors are hired, keeping an eye
on quality is difficult unless the contactor is the one who precisely controls the
process. 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.
Pressing Techniques
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.
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.
1. Fabric
- Is it tightly or loosely woven?
- Is it a single knit or double knit? Does the fabric ravel, curl, or roll?
- What is the weight of the fabric: light, medium, or heavy?
- Is it sheer?
2. Use of garment
o Is it sportswear or evening wear?
o How often will it be worn?
3. Care of garment
o Will it be machine-washed, hand-washed, or dry-cleaned?
4. Location of seam/seam finish
o Is it curved or straight?
o Will it be exposed as in an unlined skirt?
o Will it be enclosed as in a collar seam?
5. Sewing ability and skill
o Are you a novice or an experienced sewer?
6. Equipment
o Do you have only a straight-line stitching sewing machine?
o Do you have an serger?
Seams
1. Plain Seam A plain seam is the simplest seam to make and is the
basis for many other seams. It is a good choice for the novice sewer. This
seam can be used on woven and knit fabrics and on straight or curved
areas. It can be constructed by hand or machine. A seam finish is needed
on most woven fabrics, especially when the seam is exposed and when
knit fabric curls or rolls.
Steps:
Steps:
a. Put the wrong sides of the seam allowances together. Stitch along the
5/8-inch seam line to make a plain seam. Press seam allowance on
one side.
b. Trim lower seam allowance (inside seam allowance) about 1/8 -inch.
c. Turn the top seam allowance edge under 1/4-inch. Press.
d. Repeat on the other side of the seam allowance.
Seam Finishes
Steps:
Double-Stitched
The double-stitched finish also begins with a plain seam. It is used for knit
fabrics and on seam allowances that are pressed together to one side and
Steps:
Steps:
1. With right sides of the seam allowances together, prepare a plain seam.
Press it open.
2. Adjust machine to the appropriate zigzag stitch and length.
3. On one seam allowance (single thickness), stitch close to, but not on,
fabric edge (approximately 1/8-inch from raw edge).
Trim excess fabric close to the line of stitching. Press. Machine Zigzag
Machine Over-Edge overcast). Some sewing machines have a special
over-edge presser foot and/or machine setting to overcast (sew over) the
edges of the fabric without causing the fabric or thread to jam the machine.
If your machine has this capability, use this stitch instead of the machine
zigzag technique previously described. The overcast technique does not
need to be trimmed, nor allow for larger seam allowances when cutting out
the garment.
Steps:
Steps:
1. With right sides of the seam allowances together, prepare a plain seam. Press
the seam open.
2. Turn the edge of the seam allowance under approximately 1/8- to1/4-inch.
Press.
3. Stitch close to the edge through the folded fabric. Press. NOTE: Cutting at
least a 1-inch seam allowance will allow a finished 5/8-inch seam allowance.
Sewing makes the work easier and faster. Proper use and maintenance of
the sewing machine helps produce garment of high quality. Do the following
procedure to maintain better performance of the sewing machine.
1. Observe the safety precautions when using the sewing machine.
2. Clean and lubricate the sewing machine before and after using.
3. Thread the upper and lower parts correctly. Refer to the manual if
needed.
4. Adjust stitch length, tension and pressure according to the fabric you
are going to use.
5. Apply corrective actions as soon as you encounter machine
problem.
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.
Fitting Problems for Athletic Shorts
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.
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.
The kind of fit desired in clothing changes with style and fashion as well
as personal preferences. No definite rules can be set as to the exact way of
garment should fit. However regardless of fashion, style and personal
preferences, a well fitted garment should:
Hemming
1. Vertical hemstitch.
- A stitch that works from right to left. It
is used for stitching along the inside
edges of collars and cuffs.
2. Slanting Hemstitch
- This stitch is less stable than vertical
hemstitch but is quicker to work. Form
the stitches in
the same way as vertical hemstitch.

3. Herringbone Stitch
- This is used for joining the edges of
facing or interfacing to the inside of
garment.
7. Buttonhole stitch.
- It applies a neat finish for hooks,
eyes, buttons and snap fastening.

Note: Buttonholes for men’s polo are done on the left side. Vertical
buttonholes are used since it is a loose fitting garment.
1. Turn under hem edge ¼ inch (6mm) and press. Machine stitch 1/8 inch
or less from the fold.
2. Pin hem into position and baste.
3. Finish with suitable hemming stitch.
Fasteners
Buttons
Buttons are the most common fastener
used in different types of garments.
Buttons are those with shank and with 2
or four holes. They are used as fastener
or decorations.
Ways of attaching Buttons
1. Square
2. Parallel
3. Cross
4. Arrow head
5. Common way
Snaps
Snaps are used on flat surface where
there is a little strain. These are
commonly used for baby dresses.
Hook-and-Eye
Hook-and-eye is used to fasten opening
which has considerable strain. Belts and
neck openings use hook-and-eyes. There
are two kinds of eyes – the round and
straight. The round eye is used where the
edges of the opening just meet, while the
straight eye is used on edges laps.
Sometimes a thread loop is used on a
straight eye if a very flat closing is
desired.

INFORMATION SHEET
Pressing tools are essential for every pressing or ironing job. It is the
process of removing creases and wrinkles to a finished garment.

Caution! Never move a pressed seam until the fabric has cooled
completely! Otherwise, you will repeat all you’re pressing.
Heat and pressure from an iron are combined with moisture in the clothing to
smooth it. Creases and wrinkles are flattened. These factors must be controlled to
ensure professional result and to protect your fabric.
The following are the points to consider:
1. Check the heat settings on your iron and test press the fabric.
2. While pressing keep the weight of the iron in your hand.
3. Exert light pressure on the fabric and never rest the full weight of the iron on the
fabric.
4. To avoid damage to your fabric use a pressing cloth when it is necessary to press
on the wrong side.
5. For fabrics that require additional moisture dampen the cloth with a wet sponge.
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:

INFORMATION SHEET
Labeling of Garment
Labels for fabric serves as the consumer’s protection for the garments wash
ability, colorfastness, fiber content, and the special knowledge needed to care for
garments.
Labeling of garments is very important. Costumers look at the label first
before buying a ready to wear garment. It can be seen at the end of the belt, the tag
attached to the garment or information printed along the selvage of the fabric.
These are different labels used in garment with their specific purpose:
SIZE LABEL
- has the specific measurements of human body such as S for small, M for
Medium , L for Large and XL for extra large. Byers would prefer to look for
sizes to see which one fits her/his size.
CARE LABEL
- include wash care and ironing instructions.
Wash by machine
or by hand in hot
water with any soap or detergent. Use bleach carefully. Tumble-dry.
Do not dry-clean. Iron
with hot iron.
Wash by hand in warm
water with any soap or
detergent. Do not
bleach. Dry-clean. Little or no ironing.
Wash by hand by
lukewarm water
mild soap or
detergent. Do not
bleach. Dry rapidly. Dry-clean. Do not iron.
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 features
MANUFACTURER’S LABEL
- includes manufacturers code for the buyers who wants to order the items
from different parts of the world.
SPECIAL LABEL
– is normally attached to draw customers attention at the time of purchase.
Examples are 100% cotton, organic, etch.
Packaging Materials
A. Synthetic
a. Polyethylene bags (Polybag)-most widely
used packaging material
B. Paperboard/Cardboard
Paperboard is often used for
secondary packaging, although it can be
seen in primary packages as well. A
paperboard carton is a popular choice
because it is not only recyclable but it also
offers plenty of space to print eye catching
graphics and text.
Here are some packaging made of
paperboard:
Packaging does not only protect goods, it also promotes brand name and the
product itself. For this reason, a well-designed package is a key to encourage
potential buyers to purchase the product. The best packaging is innovative, visible,
attractive and environmentally friendly.
