LESSON 1: PRODUCE ATHLETIC SHORTS ( S0 )

LO 1.Draft and cut pattern for athletic shorts
1.1 Plan garment design
Different Types of Athletic Shorts
 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.
www.sportsdirect.com
 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.

 Gym shorts
Gym shorts are an article of clothing typically worn by
people when exercising. They are typically made out of
fabrics that allow for maximum comfort and ease, such as
nylon.

Factors to Consider in Planning for Athletic Shorts Production
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.
 Type of Sports Activity

A type of garment is designed for the kind of sports where it will be
used. A volleyball games outfit may consist of a pair of shorts with matching t-
shirt. For a tennis outfit you may have white shorts and a very short skirt with
white t-shirt.
 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.
After evaluating the type of sports activity, material, and design

preferred by your client, the next thing to do is to gather the things you need
for making the clothes. This involves selection of fabric designs that must be
carefully done by a designer/tailor in order to meet the specifications of his
client.
Fabric Selection for Athletic Shorts
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:
Senior High School

Grade 11-12
Tailoring NC II
 Cotton
Cotton fabrics are strong and absorbent. It also feels good against the skin
regardless of the temperature or the humidity.
The fabric requires little care and washes well. It is prone to losing its shape
after prolonged wear.
Cool, natural cotton is a popular choice for men's gym shorts because of its
softness and durability. Cotton workout shorts wick away moisture from the
wearer's skin to keep him comfortable during a workout.
 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?
Senior High School

Grade 11-12
Tailoring NC II
The answer to these questions will help you decide the kind of fabric to buy
for your client’s clothing that will complement to his/her personality.
Determining the Quality and Suitability of the Fabric

There are simple tests that you can perform on samples of fabrics that will
help you determine their qualities and suitability to your purpose.
 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.

 Test by Pin Competency Based Training ( CBT )
Determine slippage of threads. Pin a small tuck U La Paz, Iloilo City
in a sample. Pull on the fabric from both sides of

the tuck, working back and forth as you pull. If the fabric tears or pulls away from
the pin it would probably pull at the seams.
 Test for Sizing

Determine whether stiffening has been added to give a more closely woven
look and firmer feel. Rub the fabric between your hands; observe whether a
powder-like dust falls out indicating stiffening added. If heavily sized, the rubbed
part will look thinner when held to the light and will appear limp and coarse.
Sizing dissolves in water.
 Test for Straight of Grain

Examine fabrics to determine whether the fabric
grain will need to be straightened. At one end of the
fabric, observe whether lengthwise and crosswise
threads are at right angles to each other. Designs on
printed fabric must be exactly on crosswise grain; otherwise, do not purchase.
 Test for Absorbency

Determine the ability of the fabric to absorb and
retain liquids within its structure. It can be done using
immersion test and drop test.
a. Immersion test. It is done by cutting a sample of
1x1 cm fabric and left on the water surface with
the help of stop watch. The time of immersion is recorded. The
standard time for immersing is 5 seconds.
b. Drop test. It is done by putting a drop of water on the scoured fabric
and the absorption of water drop is observed visually. The standard
time for the absorption of drop is 0.5 – 0.8 seconds.
Absorption has two components, capture and hold. Capture is the ability to
trap moisture rapidly at the speed it is delivered without run-off. Hold refers to
Senior High School

Grade 11-12
Tailoring NC II
the amount of moisture a material can hold water when saturated and used
under normal operating conditions.
Good absorbency requires rapid capture and superior holding capacity.
 Test for Wrinkle Resistant

Crumple a corner of the fabric; release it, and note the degree of wrinkling in it.
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.

Kinds of Pattern
Basically, there are two types of pattern: commercial and the drafted
pattern. Commercial patterns are based on standard measurements such as
Senior High School

Grade 11-12
Tailoring NC II
small medium and large which are used in garment factories. Drafted
patterns are made based on individual body measurements which are used in
dress shops. The kinds of drafted patterns are:
1. Block Pattern – made by drafting pattern from the measurements which

have been carefully taken from the client.
2. Construction pattern – the intervening step between the block and the
final pattern. When the designs are complicated, construction patterns are
sectioned.
3. Final pattern – provided with the necessary symbols and markings such
as darts, seam allowances, grain line, center fold, and notches. These
markings will serve as guide when laying out the pattern pieces on the
cloth.
Salient Measures to Observe in Drafting Patterns
To make work accurate, the following measures must be observed

when drafting pattern:
1. Make sure all the drafting tools are accurate and in good condition.
2. Use drafting tools properly.
3. Follow the steps systematically.
4. Indicate pattern symbols accordingly.
5. Use guidelines or light marks for the construction lines and heavy marks
for final lines.

Techniques In Cutting Final Pattern
Cutting the Final Patterns

When all patterns were drafted and re-adjusted based on the corrections
made in the previous tasks, few adjustments may be applied on it.
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.

LO 2.Prepared and cut materials for athletic shorts
2.1. Prepare materials
Preparing the Fabrics before Cutting
Fabrics also come in various widths. They can be purchased on textile

stores. You will purchase and prepare a fabric that fits the job requirement/
specifications of your client. Fabric of any type must be pre-treated before
cutting to avoid later alterations or damage in the finished garment. The
untreated fabric may be of correct size on the first wear, but due to repeated
washing it may shrink and be uncomfortable to the wearer. Grain perfection is
another factor which may deform the silhouette of the garment. These factors
must be given due consideration before cutting.
Let us recall the parts of a

fabric so you will never be confused
during the discussion of this lesson.
Selvage - the finished edge of the

fabric running lengthwise or on the
sides of the fabric. There is a selvage on both Source: Manayon,J. (2017).Development of
lengthwise edges of woven fabrics. Competency Based Training ( CBT )
Lengthwise thread - the thread running parallel

to the selvage. The lengthwise threads are stronger than the crosswise.
Crosswise thread - the thread running at right angle or perpendicular to the

selvage. These threads are usually slightly weak than the lengthwise threads.
True bias - the diagonal of a perfect square of fabric. The bias line makes 45
degree angle with the lengthwise and crosswise threads.
The importance of fabric preparation is to preserve the fit of the

finished garment after washing. The techniques in preparing the fabrics
before cutting are as follows:
A. Shrinking and soaking the fabric by

laundering and drying
Most fabrics should be pre-shrunk by
laundering and drying to prevent shrinkage later.
There are fabrics that do need preshrinking such
as silk and synthetic materials.
The steps in shrinking the material are as follows:
Senior High School

Grade 11-12
Tailoring NC II
1. Fold the fabric lengthwise.
2. Immerse and soak the fabric in tap water
(in a large basin) for 30 to 60 minutes.
3. Remove it from the water without
wringing.
4. Let it dry without folding on the
clothesline.
5. Press the cloth when completely dry. Source: Manayon,J. (2017).Development of
B. Straightening the end of fabrics U La Paz, Iloilo City
This process is done by drawing the thread or grain of the material of

the uneven crosswise or lengthwise edges to make it straight. Perform the
following steps to straighten the ends of a fabric.
1. Clip the selvage on the shortest edge of the

fabric.
2. Pick-up a loose crosswise threads and pull
it out slowly.
3. Pull the thread all the way across the
selvage.
4. Cut along a pulled thread.
C. Stretching the grains of fabrics
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:
1. Grasp the opposite diagonal corners and pull.

2. Check to see if the fabric has been straightened.
3. Keep on pulling until the selvage comes
together.
4. Smooth the material on the table and check if
the fabric ends lie even.
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.

Senior High School

Grade 11-12
Tailoring NC II
Cautions:
 The iron is very hot. Do not touch the silver side or you may burn.
Always hold the iron's handle.
Keep moving the iron up and down. Do not linger too long, or you may burn
your fabric
Pressing Tips
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.
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.
Senior High School

Grade 11-12
Tailoring NC II
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
Kinds of Trimmings
Trimmings are the ornamental addition to a bare fabric or a finished garment

to enhance its appearance. Trimming details change continually, so you should
study the trimming types and check if they are in fashion. Plan the trimming as
integral part of the garment, not a last minute addition. Athletic shorts, even in its
simplicity, needs trimming in order to be complete. The common trimmings used in
athletic shorts are as follows:
Appliqué–.a cut out

design such as petal,
leaves or figures that is
sewn on to or otherwise
applied to a piece of
material.
Binding– a bias strip

used to decorate an
edge.

Buttons– pieces of

glasses of various
shapes having shank
or holes.

Laying out pattern pieces for athletic shorts
 Determine the right and wrong sides of the fabric

Before you lay out the patterns be sure that you fold the fabric on its wrong
side.
Below are tips to identify the right or wrong side of fabric.
1. Prints are more visible and bright on the right side.
2. Right side has smooth and finished appearance.
3. Right side selvage is smoother than the wrong side.
4. Wrong side has loose thread ends.
5. Whole, silk and most nylons are folded or rolled with their right side in.
Fabric Folds
1. Lengthwise center fold
The fabric is folded lengthwise at the center
with the selvage together.
2. Crosswise center fold

The fabric is folded crosswise with the raw
edges together.
3. Off-center lengthwise fold

The fabric is folded lengthwise with the
selvage meeting at the center.
4. Off-center crosswise fold

The fabric is folded crosswise with the raw
edge meeting at the center

The hints in folding are the following: Module in Tailoring for Grade 11 Using
Senior High School

Grade 11-12
Tailoring NC II
1. The selvage should match exactly where they meet. To prevent shifting of
slippery or soft fabric you should pin the selvages together every few inches.
2. If the material was folded at the time of the purchase, make sure the fold line is
accurate and press it again if necessary.
3. When no fold is indicated, lay fabric right side up.
Pattern Layout
It is the placement and arrangement of pattern pieces on the materials in an
economical way.
Procedure in Laying Out Pattern on the Cloth:

1. Patterns must be checked well before laying them on the cloth.
2. Examine all the necessary pattern symbols before laying them on the cloth.
3. Choose the longest cutting table to prevent the fabric from hanging over the edge
of table.
4. When laying each pattern piece, check the following :
a. lengthwise grain position
b. the center fold
c. if it is to be duplicated
d. if it is to be sectioned to be cut singly, or not through two layers
5. Fold the material on the right side with selvage folded together.
6. Lay out the largest pattern piece first on the wrong side of the material.
7. Pin pattern piece in all the way around the edge.
8. Insert pins along the lengthwise grain.
9. Lay the small pattern pieces and pin them in vacant places.
10. Let the seam allowances touch each other whenever possible.
11. Mark the stitching lines before cutting.
Pinning Pattern to the Cloth

1. Be sure the pattern piece is placed on the straight grain by measuring the grain
from the fabric’s edge.
2. After measuring the grain line, smooth the tissue and place pins diagonally
towards the corners of the pattern.
3. Then place pins where necessary to keep the pattern pieces flat for cutting.
Transferring Construction Marks
Construction marks are guides in sewing and must therefore be clearly,

neatly, and properly transferred from the patterns to the cloth. In transferring
construction marks, the following tools are needed:
a. Tracing wheel
b. Tracing paper or carbon paper
c. Pencil
d. Ruler
e. Tailor’s chalk
The transferring of marks is facilitated through various methods such as:
a. Ruler, pencil, and tracing paper method
Senior High School

Grade 11-12
Tailoring NC II
b. Tracing wheel, ruler, and tracing paper method
c. Tailor’s chalk and ruler method
d. Tailor’s chalk and thumb note
Accuracy in cutting your sewing pattern and in transferring the construction

symbols, or marks, onto the fabric is crucial. These are the final steps before
sewing:
Marking With Tailor’s Chalk
1. Transfer marks using pins and a tailor’s chalk.

2. Support fabric with one hand, and insert pins through all layers of fabric along
outline of pattern mark.
3. Carefully turn pattern piece over and use a ruler and mar king pencil or pen to
trace along outline made by the pins
4. Turn pattern piece over so that tissue side is facing up.
5. Unpin pattern and carefully pull the pattern piece over the heads of the
marking pins.
6. Once again, follow the outline made by the marking pins to trace the pattern
mark onto your fabric.
Marking With Tracing Paper and Tracing Wheel
1. Use dressmaker's carbon, or tracing paper, and a tracing wheel as an

alternate method of transferring pattern marks to fabric.
2. Mark two layers of fabric by cutting a strip of carbon paper about 4 inches by
10 inches and folding it in half.
3. Place coated sides together.
4. Slide the bottom half of paper under the fabric and the top half between the
fabric and pattern.
5. Trace along marking lines with a tracing wheel.

2.3. Cut fabric
Types of Cutting Tools and Their Uses
Cutting is a crucial step in tailoring. It should be done with haste. Cutting

needs complete concentration. For best result, assemble everything you need,
including threaded needles for basting, plenty of pins, marking tools, and sharp
cutting tools before you start cutting.
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.
Types of cutting tools and their uses:

 Bent-handled dressmaker’s shears
These are made of quality steel and
hold a sharp cutting edge. The blades move
easily and cut smoothly along the entire
length and the points should come together.
Shears have the length of 7- 12 inches and are satisfactory for most apparel
fabrics.
a. All steels, chrome-plated shears are for heavy duty cutting
b. Stainless steel blades and plastic handles are fine for lightweight fabrics
c. A serrated edge shears, give maximum cutting control and is used for synthetic
fibers and slippery knits
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.
Senior High School

Grade 11-12
Tailoring NC II
c. Buttonhole scissor
This is intended for making buttonholes.
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.
6. Pinking shears / scalloping shears

This is popular in zigzagging or scalloped edge or for seam finishes. This is
used to finish seams and raw edges or many types of fabric. It cuts a ravel-
resistant edge. This is not satisfactory for straight cutting.
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.
Observe the precautionary measures while cutting:

1. Work with clean hands.
2. Be careful and never play with your cutting tools.

Steps in Cutting out the Fabrics
 Have everything handy. Gather all the equipment needed for the cutting process.
 Use a pair of sharp cutting shears with long even strokes.
 Place one hand on the pattern close to the cutting line and hold before cutting the
fabric.
 To cut out the piece, rest the cutting shear on the table so that the fabric is
slightly raised.
 Cut first the large pieces, then the small ones.
 Cut notches away from seam allowance. Notches help to match sections during
construction.
 As you cut, walk around the table instead of pulling the materials.
 Do not allow any parts of fabric to hang over the edge of a cutting table. This is
especially important in knitted fabrics.
 Cut the entire garment at one time.
 After cutting each part, put it aside. Do not remove the pins and pattern, for you
will need them in marking the fabric.
 Collect and tie all scraps of cloth together for future use.
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.
Guidelines In Cutting Out Fabrics
Here are the guidelines when cutting the fabric:
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

LO 3. Assemble garment parts for athletic shorts
3.1. Prepare cut parts
Preparing Parts For Sewing Athletic Shorts
1. Sorting/Bundling:
Sorting or Bundling is the process of matching patterns according to size and

design. The sorter makes bundles of patterns. This step requires much precision
because making bundles of mismatched patterns can create severe problems. On
each bundle there are specifications of the style, size and the marker is attached
with it.
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.
For beginners/learners, the following steps maybe adopted

1. Put these in a bag.
2. Fuse a piece of fabric large enough for all your interfaced pieces then cut.
3. Tie all the pieces together in a Check seam allowances in all garment parts.
4. Use 1/8” nips to mark your notches. Don’t waste time cutting diamond
shapes. Nips are more accurate and less likely to fray or weaken the seam.
5. Check parts if cleanly cut.
6. Match cloth to the patterns and check number of pieces needed.
7. Check and remove unnecessary pins.
Senior High School

8. Check pattern marks if properly transferred to the garment parts.
9. Collect all things you’ll need to sew the sleeping garment: zippers, thread,
buttons, snaps, hook and eye, and garter bundle with the pattern and put in a
bag.
Pressing Techniques
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.
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.
Senior High School

Grade 11-12
Tailoring NC II
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.
3. Select a scrap large enough so that one-half can be pressed while the other half is
left as purchased.
4. 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
Factors when selecting a seam and seam finish:
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?
A well-constructed seam should be:

 Smooth and even in appearance on the inside and outside parts.
(Properly adjust machine tension, stitch length, and presser foot
pressure to suit the fabric and thread. Make sure fabric does not
crease.)
 Do this as well as with its width all throughout.
 Press open or close according to the type of seam and how it should
be used in the construction process.
 If stitched with thread, the thread should be appropriate to the fabric
type and fiber content. (Thread color should match or slightly darker.)
 well-constructed seam finish should:
 be neat and smooth in appearance, without added bulk;
Senior High School

Grade 11-12
Tailoring NC II
 protect the area and prevent the edge from raveling, stretching, rolling,
or curling; and
 not be visible from the right side of the garment.
Seams
Seams may be created with thread by hand or machine (sewing

machine and serger) or with fusion through chemical bonding. When a
serger/overlock machine is used to construct a seam, the fabric edges are
finished all in one process. The basic seams are plain, French, and flat-
fell. Unless otherwise stated, a seam is stitched 5/8 –inch from the cut
edge. The fabric from the stitching line to the cut edge is called a seam
allowance
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:
a. Place the right sides of the fabric

together, matching the stitching
lines. Pin and/or hand baste.
b. Stitch along the 5/8 -inch seam
line. (Stitching may begin and end
with backstitching—stitch forward a
few stitches, then backward, and
then forward to the end.) A narrow,
open zigzag stitch can be used.
c. Press. Plain seams can be straight-stitched or zigzagged.
2. French The French seam is

basically a seam within a seam. It is
strong and durable but should be used
only on straight edges. This seam is used
on light-weight woven, sheer, and other
delicate fabrics. It is an excellent choice
for see-through fabrics. French seams
can be constructed by hand or sewing machine. Seam finish is not
needed.
3. Flat-Fell (also called flat-felled) This

seam is designed for woven fabrics and
straight edges. It is used when constructing
sports-wear, men’s and children’s wear,
reversible items, and heavy-duty items
Senior High School

Grade 11-12
Tailoring NC II
requiring strong, durable seams. It is generally made with a sewing
machine and can be difficult to construct on heavy fabric. No seam finish
is necessary.
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
Seam finishes may also be referred to as “edge” finishes, as they may be

used in locations other than seam allowances. These locations include
hem edges and facings. The method of construction is almost always the
same and the goal is to prevent a raw edge from raveling (woven fabric) or
curling (knit fabric).
 Pinked finish. This kind of seam finish

uses pinking shears to create a zigzag
edge. This gives a neat finish but it
should be used only on firm, closely
woven fabrics which are not
transparent.
 Edge Stitched - As a seam finish, this

technique is reserved primarily for knit
fabrics. It is used to prevent the edges
of the fabric from rolling or curling. The
finish requires a sewing machine
making it easy to construct. Edge
stitching is suitable for straight or curved seams and edges.
Steps:
a. With right sides of the seam allowances together, prepare a plain

seam. Press it open.
b. Take one side of the seam allowance (single thickness) and stitch a
line of regulation using machine stitching (approximately 12 to 14
stitches per inch) about 1/4-inch from the cut edge.
c. Repeat on the other seam allowance. (Stitching along the edge of
the seam allowance prevents rolling or curling.)
 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

treated as one. It is used to prevent seam allowances from rolling or
curling on lightweight knit fabrics. The technique is ideal for the beginning
sewer and may be done in several ways. It requires a sewing machine.
Some methods require a sewing machine with zigzag or decorative stitch
capability.
Steps:
a. With right sides of the seam allowances together, prepare a plain

seam. Press seam together.
b. Stitch a second row of stitching into the seam allowance area,
approximately 1/8-inch away from first line of stitching. The second
row of stitching can be a straight conventional stitch, a medium-
width zigzag, or a machine over-edge/overcast stitch. NOTE: The
machine over-edge stitch is recommended for raveling woven
fabrics, not nits.
c. Press seam to one side. Double-Stitched Machine Zigzag- A large
seam allowance (up to 1 inch) may be allowed when cutting out the
garment, since finished seam allowance will be 1/8- to1/4inch
shorter. This finish is used on a plain seam on woven fabric. It
requires a sewing machine with a zigzag stitch capability. The finish
is used on medium- to heavyweight fabrics, including corduroy. The
zigzag stitch length (coverage) must be adjusted to accommodate
and prevent fabric raveling. The more the fabric ravels, the closer
together the stitches need to be (tighten or shorten stitch length).
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.
Hand-Overcast This is one of the original methods of finishing seams

and edges dating prior to the invention of the sewing machine. There are
occasions when this edge finish is the most appropriate technique to
employ. Hand-over-cast is used on woven fabrics with straight and curved
areas. It is also good and necessary in areas not suited to other finishing
techniques, such as L-shaped areas (created at a kick pleat) and V-
shaped areas (created when bulk is removed from a princess-line seam).
Senior High School

Grade 11-12

This stitch is done by hand rather than by machine. Use a hand needle
and single thread to match the fabric color. It is not difficult but it may take
some skill to create uniformed stitches
Steps:
1. With right sides of the seam

allowances together, prepare a
plain seam. Press it open. (This
finish can be used with other
seams that might require a finish
other than the plain seam, such as
the mock flat-fell or the lapped.)
2. Beginning at the end of one seam
allowance edge through single
fabric thickness, secure thread on
the underneath side of the seam
allowance, approximately 1/4-inch from the edge.
3. Bring needle through from bottom to top side. Position needle underneath
fabric edge, approximately 3/8-inch away from the first stitch.
4. Bring needle and thread through to the right side again. Repeat until the edge
is periodically wrapped in thread. Stitches should be secured to the fabric
edge but not tight. Fabric edge should remain flat and not drawn. The more
the fabric tends to ravel, the closer together your hand stitches should be.
Clean-Finished (turned under and stitched). This finish is used not only for
seams but also throughout the garment when the fabric is lightweight. It is not
appropriate for heavyweight or knit fabrics because it produces bulk.
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.

3.3 Alter completed garment
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.
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.
Senior High School

Grade 11-12
Tailoring NC II
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.
Evaluation of finished Athletic shorts

 Ease
Is the athletic short comfortable to wear?
 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?
Judging Fit In Clothing
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:
a. Appear as if it belongs to you

b. Have ease of movement
c. Be attractive to your figure and appear neither baggy from being too loose nor
too stretched from being too tight.
d. Give you a feeling of ease and comfort with no need to adjust your clothes
with every move.

Hemming
A hem is the edge of a garment especially at the bottom. The process of

finishing the hem is called hemming. The following are the different kinds of
hemming stitches that you can use:
Kinds of Hemming Stitches
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.
4. Catch stitch or Blind Hemming Stitch.

- It is done under an edge or through a
folded edge. It can be used when
hemming heavy fabrics or fabrics that
stitch to prevent a ridge from showing on
the right side of the
garment.
Senior High School

5. Slipstitch
- This stitch is used to attach a
folded edge to another fabric layer.
6. Blind Herringbone Stitch

- It works like hemming stitch from left to right of the garment but just
fold the hem edge back.
- Work the herringbone stitches between the inside of the garment
hem and the underneath fabric.
7. Buttonhole stitch.
- It applies a neat finish for hooks,
eyes, buttons and snap fastening.
Making Worked Buttonholes
Buttonholes can be sewn by hand or by

machine. Whichever you choose,
accuracy is important when marking the
buttonholes. The following are the steps in
making hand worked buttonhole:
a. Mark the position of the buttonhole indicating its length.

b. Using small stitches, stitch about 1/16 inch from the mark.
c. Starting at the center, slash buttonhole on center mark to ends.
Overcast the edges.
d. Work the buttonhole stitch over the edges, working from right to left.
e. Start at the end and insert needle into slit bringing it out below stitching.
Bring thread from the needle eye around and under needle point from
right to left.
f. Draw needle up to form a purl on the edge. Continue placing stitches
close together so loops will cover edge.
g. At end towards garments edge, form a fan as shown, keeping the center
stitch of the fan in line with the cut.
h. Make a bar on both ends taking several stitches over the threads and
through the garments cloth.
Note: Buttonholes for men’s polo are done on the left side. Vertical
buttonholes are used since it is a loose fitting garment.

Hemming a Finished Garment
Steps in Hemming a Garment

A garment edge is usually finished by a slip stitch. Slip stitch made on the
hemlines should not be seen on the right side of the blouse. Neat and invisible stitch
adds to the nice and neat appearance of the 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.
Standards of a Well Sewn Hem
1. Stitches are flat.

2. They are even in width.
3. There are no bulk and wrinkles.
4. Stitches are even and distributed
Fasteners
In buying your clothes, do you consider the kind of fastener that is

attached into it? What different kinds of fastener do you have on your clothes?
Which ones are easiest to use? Which ones do you think look best in your
clothes?
In constructing the sleeping garments, the safety and comfort of the of
the wearer must be considered.
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.

Zipper
Zipper, otherwise known as a slide
fastener, is used to close-openings in
many different types of garments. It is
mostly used in skirts and pants. Zippers
are made with metal teeth or coils of
nylon or polyester that mesh together.
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.
Marking and Making of Button Holes
a. Determine the placket location of the buttonholes

b. Mark distances of required button holes
c. Measure the size of the button
d. Mark intended slit for button holes
e. Make a worked button holes
Steps in making worked buttonholes
Mark the buttonholes.
Make the machine stitching around the

mark.

Make the buttonholes from right to
left. Start at the side nearest you.
Make a circle with the thread at the
point where the next buttonhole
stitch is to be made. Hold the lower
edge of the circle with the thumb.
Insert the needle under the cloth
and pull the needle upwards. Make
several buttonhole stitches up to the
end
When the other edge is reached, start
making the fan. Make about 5-7 stitches to
make the rays of the fan.
Continue making the buttonhole stitches

up to the other end. Finish end of the
buttonhole by making two bar threads
directly across the end. Work blanket
stitches closely over them. Fasten threads
at the back.
Attaching buttons
1. Determine and mark the location of

the buttons in the placket.
2. Fasten thread on wrong side. Make

a small stitch where the button is to
be sewn.
3. Place a pin on top of the button and

sew over it. A stem is placed so
that there will be space for fabric
under the button when the garment
is buttoned. Bring needle up
through the button, then to the
other hole back to the fabric. Make
several stitches.
4. Place a pin on top of the button and

sew over it. A stem is placed so

several stitches.
5. A button with a shank can be

attached like a flat button, except
that the needle is inserted under
the hole on the other side of the
button. These buttons should not
be sewn too closely to the garment
if these are to be used as
fasteners.
Attaching Snaps
Fasten thread by making two or three

stitches on the mark.
Make overhand or buttonhole stitch on

each hole.
Continue making stitches on the four

holes. Fasten on the wrong side
Trimming Techniques for Athletic Shorts
Trim has two meanings in sewing. One is to use a variety of decorative

elements or trims to embellish garments or household items. The other is to use
scissors to trim away excess fabric in areas like seam allowances.
Garment patterns often specify that seam allowances be trimmed to a specified
width. A duckbill scissors is often used to prevent garment damage when trimming
seams and beneath appliqués.
Trimming Tools And Their Uses
Trimming scissors are cutting tools with blade

under 6 inches in length and with identical handle. Sharp scissors make clean cut
and well defined notches. Dull scissor make the cutting process slow and make
your hem wrist tire easily. Trimming scissors should not be used for other
household task such as cutting papers or twine. Remember that trimming scissors
last longer if you occasionally put a drop of oil on the screw assembly.

Here are some cutting tools that will help you trim excess thread neatly
1. Trimming scissors – with four to five

inches (4-5”)long are convenient to use at
the machine for they clip threads to hold in
the ease of the seam close to the presser
foot or to snip slashes.
2. Cutter is ideal for clipping threads.

Procedure in Trimming Excess Threads on Finished Athletic Shorts
1. Reverse the athletic shorts wrong side out.

2. Check for hanging threads.
3. Trim excess threads from top to bottom.

Points to Remember in Hanging Finished Garment
 Hanging garments is an easy task. Hang garments of the same kind. Provide
spaces in between hanged garments to preserve its professional look.
 Reverse and hang finished garment in an airy place.
 Use clothes hangers in hanging.
 Don’t hang garments under the sun. Exposure to sunlight will make the garment
fade easily.
 Press garment before hanging.
 Avoid overcrowding in hanging to avoid too much wrinkles on the different parts.

4.2. Press finished garment
Pressing Tools and Materials
Pressing tools are essential for every pressing or ironing job. It is the
process of removing creases and wrinkles to a finished garment.
Pressing Tools, Materials and Equipment

1. Electric iron It has a heat control
mechanism which maintains the correct
temperature for each fabric. Irons are
available with aluminum or stainless steel
soleplates. The soleplates of the iron
should be kept smooth and clean.
2. Ironing board An ironing board should
be smooth and well padded. It
should stand firmly at the correct height for
efficient work. It is an adjustable board or
leg slides to adjust height for a standing
and sitting positions.
3. Seam roll This is helpful in pressing
curves and seams that are in a tube
area without creasing another area of the
garments.
4. Seam Stick helps you press in small

places.
5. Tailor's clapper is used in tailoring to

help press wool seams flat. First you press
the seam with a good steam iron. Then,
before the seam is cooled, you press the
clapper against the seam to hold it in place
while it cools.
Senior High School

Grade 11-12
Tailoring NC II
6. Sleeve board This is a small ironing
board shaped and padded like a large one.
The narrow board is used for pressing
seams and narrow garment section and the
wide board is used for long and straight
seam
Caution! Never move a pressed seam until the fabric has cooled
completely! Otherwise, you will repeat all you’re pressing.
Procedure in Pressing Athletic Shorts
Pressing is important in garment construction for it shapes and set stitched

lines. In our athletic shorts, pressing is done on the seams and hemline to lay flat the
point pieces.
Remember the following tips before you begin to press your athletic shorts.
 See to it that iron is clean.
 Extra care should be taken when pressing silk and wool.
 Iron is not being too hot for wool and silk for it will scorched at a comparatively
high temperature.
 Press wool and silk on the wrong side because pressing on the right side
produces an undesirable shine.
 Cotton and linen may be pressed on either side.
 Vegetables fibers stand a hotter iron than those of animal origin. They are easier
to press when slightly damp.
Procedure in Pressing Finished Athletic Shorts

1. Press interior parts, such as seams and linings.
2. Press inseams and side seams before pressing the lower parts of the shorts.
3. Press the top parts of the athletic shorts before the lower part.
4. Hang the garment on a well-padded hanger to dry completely, without crowding.
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.

Pressing Suggestions for Specific Fabrics
Fabric Pressing Temperature Pressing Information

 Cotton

 Linen
 Silk Warm iron Press on wrong side
 Silk satin
 Wool Warm iron Press on wrong side
 Flannel Warm iron Press on wrong side using
 Gabardine damp cloth
Application of Heat and Pressure on Athletic Shorts
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:
Type of Fabrics Required Heat

Temperature
Linen 230 °C (445 °F
Triacetate 200 °C (390 °F)
Cotton 204 °C (400 °F)
Viscose 190 °C (375 °F)

4.3. Pack finished garment
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:
BRAND OR MAIN LABEL

- Indicates the brand name or brand logo of company where the garment
comes from.Costumers who like branded items simply look at the label and
they easily p[ick and buy items. A brand label are the Levis,, Lee, Tommy
Hilfiger for Tshirts. Adidas for shoes, Zara for dresses and so many more.
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.
Care Label Symbols

Symbols Used in Washing, Dry Cleaning and Ironing Clothes.

What do these labels tell you?
 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.
Senior High School

Grade 11-12
Tailoring NC II
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.
SPECIAL LABEL
– is normally attached to draw customers attention at the time of purchase.
Examples are 100% cotton, organic, etch.
Packaging Materials
Packaging calls for environmental responsibility. When choosing

packaging materials, consider the “three R’s”-reduce, reuse and recycle. Reusable
packaging adds a distinctive appearance and value to your product.
The following are the packaging materials:
A. Synthetic
a. Polyethylene bags (Polybag)-most widely
used packaging material
a. PVC (polyvinyl chloride) box- a synthetic

thermoplastic material for attractive
packaging.
Senior High School

Grade 11-12
Tailoring NC II
b. Tapes-used to seal packaging.
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:
1. Chipboard/pads/Shirt board – stiffens the garment and makes it stable.

2. Dress board – provides stability and protection for garments during
shipment.
3. Collar board-support the shirt collar.
4. Tissue paper- laid over the garment before folding to prevent it from
creasing.
5. Apparel boxes-made of cardboard and come in variety of colors.
Procedures in Packaging Finished Garment
Importance of Product Packaging

Product packaging is wrapping a product for distribution. Packaging is an
important element of marketing goods. Products are wrapped to protect it from dust
and moisture. In the context of the industry, materials to be handled, shipped and
used are allowed for group packaging to facilitate proper handling of many products.
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.
Senior High School

Grade 11-12
Tailoring NC II
Packaging is categorized as follows:
1. Primary Packaging- material that first wraps the

product. This is in direct contact with the contents.
2. Secondary Packaging- used to hold primary

packages together.
3. Tertiary Packaging- used for bulk handling,

storage and shipping. As required by law, a
packaging should contain label that provides
information on the product and symbols to
communicate some care and safety instructions
such as recycling symbol, bar codes, “fragile”, “this
side up”, etc.
