What is It

PROCESS OF APPLYING FINISHING TOUCHES

As the name implies, finishing covers all the operations required to complete a
garment.
1. Sew a Hand Stitched Buttonholes
Hand-stitching your button holes will create strong holes that won't tear from
removing buttons, and adds a touch of professionalism to your finished project.
Buttonhole stitches are basically blanket stitches which are worked really close
together.
It is important that you space the buttonhole evenly on the garment opening edge/
placket. A simple calculation can get you there.

5
STEPS IN MAKING HAND-MADE BUTTONHOLES

1. Mark where you will be placing the top and bottom buttons

2. Measure the button width. Add 1/8” for some ease.

3. From the folded edge, measure 3/8” to ½” and draw a line up to the width of
the button.

4. Baste around the buttonhole mark, 1/8” from the line.

6
5. Cut the line with a sharp scissors.

6. Thread the needle with double thread.

7. Sew blanket stitches around the hole. The buttonhole stitch used is worked
usually from right to left.

8. Continue making close buttonhole stitches until you reach the end.

HEMMING – it is fold in a garment used to finished the edge.

CHARACTERISTICS:
1. Folded edge is wide enough to provide enough weight and uniform
width through-out.
2. Free from puckering and bulky hem.
3. Has excess fullness in circular hem, never full the thread too tight.
4. The length of stitches is about ½” to 5/8” apart and with uniform
distance.
5. It is flat, invisible and smooth.

7
 KINDS OF HEMMING STITCHES
1. Slant Hemming – used to fasten down bands and cuffs where stitches
will be concealed.

2. Blanket Stitch – is sometimes called straight hemming, it is used on

edges of printed fabric which needs to be inconspicuous on the right side.

3. Blind Hemming – resembles vertical hemming on the right side and

straight hemming on the wrong side which are completely concealed on
the folded edge.

4. Catch Stitch – is worked right to left, used in plain fabric for decoration.

8
2. Attaching Buttons
Attaching buttons has two stages, marking and sewing.

STEPS IN ATTACHING BUTTONS

1. Thread the needle with double thread. Tie a knot at the end of the thread.
2. Put together the right and left opening, make sure that both ends are even.

3. Insert the needle in the center of the first buttonhole, the needle must come out
on the left opening.

4. Insert the needle in the hole of the button. Push the threaded needle up through
the fabric and through one hole in the button. Pull the thread all the way
through on each stitch.

5. Place a straight pin on top or beneath the button, between the stitch you have
made and where the next stitch will go, in order to keep the button from being
stitched too tight. Then, push the needle down through the next hole and
through the fabric. Pull the thread all the way through. It's best to hold the
button in place so it does not move.

9
6. On the last stitch, push the needle through the material, but not through a hole
in the button.

7. Encircle the button two times with a knot.

8. Push the needle back down through the material and make a knot.

9. Cut off the excess thread.

GARMENT FASTENERS
Garment Fastener – is important because it provides the opening of a garment
for ease in putting on and taking off.

10
KINDS OF GARMENT FASTENERS

1. Buttons – are the most common fasteners used in

different types of garments for decoration and for
fastening openings. It should be in harmony with the
color and texture of a dress.

Buttonhole – a looped stitch used to

strengthen the edge of material and keep it
from raveling, used with button.

Hook and Eye – used on front, back,

and side openings to prevent these
from opening.

2. Snaps – it provides good finish to garment

openings.

3. Zipper – used for closing and opening a

garment made of metal and plastic, available in
different colors and length.

4. Ribbons and strings – available in different

colors, length, width, and style, serve as
decoration and for convenience.

5. Eyelets – used in place of buttons.

11
 6. Thread Loops – a type of decorative
fastening used where there is no overlap
at the opening.

7. Elastic Band - a close-fitting strip that confines

material at the waist, neck, or cuff of clothing

3. Cleaning

The stage of the finishing process is to thoroughly clean the garment of all threads
ends and stains. This means that it has to be gone over very carefully because
nothing gives a worse impression to a wearer than trailing threads or unremoved
stains on the inside or outside of the garment.
4. Pressing

Pressing is a finishing process done by a cloth to heat and pressure with or without
steam to remove creases and to impart a flat appearance to the cloth or garments.
POINTERS TO REMEMBER WHEN PRESSING
➢ Unplug steam iron when you fill it with water.
➢ 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 on stain or soil, this makes it (stain) harder to remove later.
➢ Do not over press.
➢ Unplug iron when you have finished using it.

PROCEDURE IN PRESSING
1. Seams. Always press a freshly sewn seam. Meaning that as you sew-
press a newly stitched seams as you go along. It secures and sets the
seam with the fibers of the fabric. Depending on the fabric press the seam
open or closed to one side, if the fabric is lightweight, then its fine to make a
closed seam pressed to one side. Likewise, if the material you work with is
heavyweight, then it’s best to press the seam open.

12
2. Seam direction. When you sew your seams closed and press to one side… which
side should you press it to? All seams are directed towards the back. Side seams-
goes towards the back, sleeve seam goes towards the back and shoulder seam-
towards the back.

3. Sleeve cap. Getting into the sleeve cap can be quite a battle if you don’t have a
tailor’s ham as this area is small and curved. If you have sewn a sleeve cap before
sewing up the seams of the sleeves, but often with a set-in sleeve, the area will
be small.

4. Darts. When you sew a dart, the first thing is as always to press that seam.
Then, depending on what style of dart you have on the garment you’re working
with will determine the direction to press it in, down and centered. Vertical darts
press them facing the center. For horizontal darts face them pressed downwards.

5. Facings. Before pressing you clip and trim the seam to eliminate possible bulk
in that area. Plus it will help the curve to form in a better way when we go to
press it. Once these are done, then press the seam along the newly stitched line,
at this point you usually would do a top stitch on the facing. Only then have the
facing turned to the underside of the garment and press.

6. Hems. Do not slide the iron side to side when you press the hem, it will stretch
out the fabric. Once you finish the raw edge of the hem, you will need to mark
the hem allowance, then fold along this marking. Anchor the hem with pins at
the side seam points, then start pressing as you fold with your other hand along
with the markings.

7. Collars. Typically collars will have points, and the points have to be crisp in
that way. So to make sure that your collars come out this way, you first will have
to press the points and trim off the excess fabric on an angle. Then with the help
of something with a point ideally a point presser get into the points and press.
The same would apply to lapels as they too have pointed corners.

8. Trouser seams. You will find that when you sew up a pair of trousers, each leg
gets stitched first and then joined at the crotch seams. With the individual legs
before they get joined, you can slip a leg through a seam roll. The seam roll will
aid in getting into the leg seam much easier that way.

9. Use pressing cloth. A pressing cloth isn’t always required but, it’s good to have
one handy in your stash, for preventing the iron marking (giving off shine) and
for blocking some delicate fabrics from burning.

10. Pressing gathers. Begin off by pressing on the stitch line and do this with slight
pressure to get everything to set and lay flat for the next part of the pressing.
After sliding the iron up and down on the gathers, this will help the gathered
creases to be more prominent.
11. Sleeves. The sleeve seams are usually in a narrow space; thus pressing them
can be quite a task when you don’t have a sleeve board handy. A sleeve board is
beneficial when you need to press the seams of your sleeves and the hem as well.
12. As much as possible press on the wrong side. Whenever possible, it’s good
practice to do all the pressing on the reverse side of your project. It helps to save
yourself from causing any damage onto the good side.

13
Evidence of Good Pressing
1. The original texture of the fabric is maintained.
2. No shine 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.

5. Folding
After completing pressing, the garments are folded according to the required
directions and standard requirements.

Folding classification depends on the fabric types.

Four Types of Folding

Stand up Semi stand up

Flat pack Hanger pack

6. Labelling

Labelling is a part of branding and enables product identification. It is a

printed information that is bonded to the product for recognition and
provides detailed information about the product.

14
Types of Garment Labels
1. Brand or Main Label
Main labels indicate the Brand name or
Brand Logo of the company that
originates and sells clothes. Brand
labels play a big role to customers
because customers know the brand and
they buy the branded one. A brand label
is associated with the product’s quality,
durability and feel good factor.

2. Size Label
Size label defines a specific set of body
measurements. These Size labels may be printed only a
later to denote a specific size. Such as S for Small, M
for Medium and L for Large size garments. Customers
know which size fit them well.

3. Care Label
This label includes care and ironing
instructions. For details of wash care
instructions. This refers to garment care
symbols. Care labels are attached at the
side seam. The purpose of care labels is to
warn wearers on what not to do while
washing, drying and ironing to maintain
color, specific printed designs, after wash
shrinkage and color blending issues. A care
label includes few other information such as:
a. Fiber contents are also included in
care labels. i.e. 40% Poly and 60%
Cotton
b. Country of origin: Name of country
that manufactured the particular
product is also written on care label.
Like, Made in India, Made in Philippines.

4. Flag Label
A small label attached outside seam. Flag labels
are normally made of brand logos and they are
used as design features.

15
 5. Manufacturer Label
This label includes
manufacturer’s code given to
buyers. Most of the
international buyers purchase
garments from countries. In
case buyers need to track the
manufacturer of a particular
product, they look for this code.

6. Batch Mark Label

A label that indicates which sewing line or batch had
made the particular garment. This label is not aske d
by buyers or brands. 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 label is
normally attached to the side seam under wash care
label.

7. Special Label
100% Cotton, Organic Cotton are example of such
special labels. Special labels normally attached to
draw customer attention at time of purchasing.

7. Garment Inspection

Quality checking of apparel after production. It becomes necessary to maintain

the quality right from the production stage in order to deliver a satisfactory final
product to the consumer with the right quality which in turn results in getting
continuous orders from the same customers.

EVALUATION OF FINISHED SLEEPING GARMENTS

Inspection

Defects can adversely affect the quality of the garment. These defects include
sewing, color, and sizing. Thus, during processing the quality control section
needs to check each prepared article against these defects.

Sewing defects

Open seams, wrong stitching techniques, non- matching threads, missing

stitches, improper creasing of the garment, erroneous thread tension and raw
edges are some of the sewing defects which can affect the garment quality
adversely.

16
 Color defects

Variation of color between the sample and the final garment, wrong color
combinations and mismatching dyes should always be avoided.

Sizing defects

Wrong gradation of sizes, difference in measurement of various parts of a garment

like sleeves of XL size for body of L size garment can deteriorate the garments
beyond repair.

Garment defects

Broken or defective buttons, snaps, stitches, different shades within the same
garment, dropped stitches, exposed notches and raw edges, fabric defects, holes,
faulty zippers, loose or hanging sewing threads, misaligned buttons and holes,
missing buttons, needle cuts or chews, pulled or loose yarn, stains, unfinished
buttonhole, short zippers, inappropriate trimmings etc. all can lead to the end of
a brand name even before its establishment.

8. Garment Packaging

Packaging refers to the container that carries a product. Two basic objectives of
packaging are preventing any damage to the product during transportation and
enhancing the features of the product.

Garment packaging is the process of wrapping, compressing, filling or creating of

goods for the purpose of protection and their appropriate handling. This is the
final process in the production of garments, which prepares the finished
merchandise for delivery to the customer. It is an important part of the garment
manufacturing process. Garment packaging is also use to get lot of attention from
the customer. After packing, it is placed in cartons as per instructions and then
it is stored in a store section before it is delivered to the respective buyer.

Functions of Packaging
1. Protects the Products and Consumer. Good packaging is designed to protect the
product. For example, packages should be designed to with stand humidity,
puncture, and other types of damage.
2. Contains the Product. Containers make products easy to carry and keep them
separately.
3. Identity of the Product. A package would be less useful if it’s not properly
identified. Usually, the contents are identified by the label on the package.
However, using a special design or color on the package helps customers
identify the contents.
4. Promotes the Product. The package is the natural place for promotion. It is part
of the product which is most visible to the customer.
5. Makes the Product Easy to Use. Cartons with spouts for easy pouring, boxes
with zip-strip openings, butter wrappers with measurement marked on them
are examples of the conveniences offered by packaging.

17
Types of Packaging Materials
1. Paper and cardboard – are among the
most widely used packaging materials.
Paper is inexpensive, lightweight, fairly
strong, and easy to print on. Cardboard has
all the advantages of paper and is heavier
and stronger.

2. Wood and glass – are traditional

materials for sturdier or more
specialized forms of packaging. Wood
makes sturdy shipping crates, which
are reused many times. Glass is used
mainly to hold liquids or products
containing liquids. It doesn’t leak and
free from unwanted taste or smell.

3. Plastic – is used in many forms for packaging.

It is shaped into jars and bottles; it is molded
into boxes, baskets, and trays; it is processed
into sheets for packaging toys, bed linens, small
articles of clothing and a wide variety of food
products.

4. Metal – is a material that has long been used to

pack liquids and food products. The most
commonly used metal container is the can. At one
time, all cans were made of steel with a tin plating.
Today, aluminum cans are popular, particularly for
soft drinks.

5. Metallic foil – extremely thin sheet metal, is

widely used in commercial packaging. It can be
folded and wrapped almost like paper and yet
has the strength and moisture resistance of
metal.

18
 What’s More

A. Prepare the following:

1. 6 pieces 6” x 6” of cloth
2. Thread
3. Hand needle
4. Scissors
