LEARNER’S HOME TASK N TLE 9 (DRESSMAKING)

Subject: TLE (dressmaking) Grade: 9 Quarter: 2 Week 1


MELC: Assemble sleeping garments parts.
Competency Code: TLE_HEDM9-12SG-IIa-g-3

A. Readings/ Discussions

There are some basic things you are going to need in order to get started with sewing for
beginners. First of all, you’re going to need some basic supplies like fabric, thread, a seam
ripper, pins, scissors, and bobbins. Those are some of the most basic supplies needed (and
of course there are so many more things you could buy as you go) to get going. For more
details on what you’ll need to get started sewing, check out my Sewing Supplies .

Pre-Assembling Procedure:
Baste if necessary, then sew/finish the raw edges. If there is an edging machine available, you can
do the overedge seam. In order not to consume so much time finding your garment parts, place it
near to you. Place it under the extension leaf of your sewing machine. Complete also your tools in
sewing like scissor or trimmer, sewing thread, and seam ripper.

Sewing Instructions 
Your sewing instructions will show you how to sew your garment. The drawings and written
instructions are there to help you with each sewing step.
It’s never a bad thing to look through your Sewing Instructions before you start sewing. You don’t
have to read them word for word, just get an idea of what’s involved in the making of your
garment.
Don’t stress if you come across something you don’t quite understand. When you’re sewing the
garment, the previous steps may help you to understand.

SELF-LEARNING HOME TASK (SLHT)

Subject: TLE (dressmaking) Grade: 9 Quarter: 2 Week 2


MELC: Assemble sleeping garments parts.
Competency Code: TLE_HEDM9-12SG-IIa-g-3
Name: __________________________________________Year & Section: _____________

A. Readings/ Discussions
How to Sew Your Own Pajama Pants:
If you're making kids' pajama pants, these are technically supposed to be called lounge pants
because they are made from regular woven cotton or flannel and worn by children. There are all
kinds of laws addressing the safety of children's sleepwear and anything worn to bed by children is
supposed to be snug-fitting in case of fire. That's why all those stretchy cotton PJ sets for kids are
tight as an old lady's compression hose. They don't want to get sued if your child gets burnt in a
fire. The looser PJ pants are made from fire-retardant material which never feels nice like cotton.
So send your children to bed in these pants at your own risk.
Step 1: Gather Your Supplies
To make sure you get the right size, just make sure you have a pair of pants that fit the
intended pajama wearer. If your pajama wearer is far away, then find out the right size and borrow
some pants from someone who is that size or carry yourself down to the Salvation Army and part
with a couple of your increasingly precious dollars for a busted-up pair you can use as a pattern.
Fabric - woven cotton or flannel or jersey or whatever floats your boat. The exact amount you
need will depend on how big the pants are and whether the print is directional or not. If you are an
experienced sewer, you know what that means and you can skip the next bit or you can read it
and think, You'll also need thread to match, pins, paper to make the pattern, a pencil or pen,
scissors, a safety pin, and enough elastic to go around the waist of the wearer plus about five
inches. What kind of elastic isn't all that important but it should be about 1 / 2 inch wide.
Step 2: Sew the Outside of the Legs
Fold the leg pieces right sides together. Pin along the inside of the leg pieces from ankle to
crotch and sew using a 3/8 inch seam allowance. Because I have boys who like to play in their
lounge pants rather than lounge in them, I always reinforce the crotch seam by sewing a second
seam just outside the first one. There are fancier ways to reinforce the seams but these are lounge
pants, not tuxedo pants. I trim off any excess seam allowance and that seems to work just fine.
I've made probably twenty pairs of these for my kids and they never complain about the seam
allowance bugging them.
If your fabric is really prone to fraying, zigzag the raw edges of the legs from ankle to crotch
before you pin them together. Then fold the leg piece right sides together and sew a seam up the
side from ankle to crotch. Do the same for the other leg. Press the seams open.
Step 3: Sewing the Crotch
Turn one leg right side out and slip it inside the other leg. Match up the side seams that you just
sewed and pin from there up both sides of the crotch to the waist. Sew along the crotch, pulling
the pins as you sew. I reinforce this seam the same way I did the leg seams by sewing a second
seam very close to the first one. Then I clip the curve to leave less fabric in the crotch area. Take
the pant leg out of the other one but leave the PJ pants inside out.
Now they should look like inside-out pajama pants with raw edges at the waist and legs. If they
don't, you’re doing it wrong.
Step 4: Sew the Waistband
If your recipient is available, now is a good time to have a fitting. You want to make sure the
rise of the pants will be comfortable. The rise is the distance from the crotch to the waist. Too short
and the pants will ride too low. Nothing says comfy and relaxedless than worrying that your coin
slot will show in the Christmas pictures. If the rise is too high, you'll have grandpa pants that hike
up to your armpits and you'll end up outside shouting at kids to get off your lawn. Get the person
inside the pants (if you can) so you have an idea of how much you'll need to fold down the waist to
get a comfortable rise. If you don't have the actual person, use the pants you used to make the
pattern as a guide. Mark the hems on the legs after you've marked the rise.
Fold down the top of the fabric about 1 / 2 inch and press. Then fold it down again about 1 inch
and press. This will hide the raw edge of the fabric inside and form the tunnel for the elastic waist.
Pin all the way around the waist but leave an opening about 3long and mark it with pins so that
we'll have a place to thread the elastic in.
Sew around the waist close to the fold of the fabric, stopping when you get to the place where
you marked the opening.
Step 5: Thread the Elastic and Finish the Waist
Cut a piece of 1 / 2 inch elastic long enough to fit around the waist of the person plus another
three or four inches. Mark the actual waist measurement on the elastic with a sharpie so you will
know where to sew when you're ready. Hook one end of the elastic to a big safety pin and thread it
through the waistband taking care not to twist it as you go around. Bunch the pants up once you
get both ends out, overlap the elastic to the sharpie mark and sew the elastic together using a
wide zig-zag stitch for security. Trim off the extra elastic and let the elastic go back up into the
waistband. Then sew across the opening to secure it all inside.
Step 6: The Hemming

Finish up the pants by folding the legs up twice to the marks you made during your fitting.
Press in the hem and pin. If you don't have access to your client, then get your original pants back
out, match up the crotches, and use the leg on the old pants as a guide. Sew the hems close to
the fold and press when you're done.

LEARNER’S HOME TASK IN TLE 9 (DRESSMAKING)


SELF-LEARNING HOME TASK (SLHT)

Subject: TLE (dressmaking) Grade: 9 Quarter: 2 Week : 3


MELC: Apply finishing touches on sleeping garments.
Competency Code: TLE_HEDM9-12SG-IIhg-4
Name: __________________________________________Year & Section: _____________
School: _________________________________________ District: ___________________

A. Readings/Discussions

Like the icing on a cake, finishing on a sewing project is what truly brings the “wow factor” and
polish. Tips and techniques on various finishing steps like hems, seams, piping, and other details
are discussed here.

1.Knit Binding

Other common bias binding that you might be familiar with and how it is made and explains
why knit binding needs to be made slightly differently in order to ensure that it will not only
hold up well while you are sewing it onto your garment but will hold up well over the life of
the garment.

With knit binding needing to be cut on the strait of grain, there are several ways that you
can find and cut along that straight of grain to get your binding strips. Depending on where you are
adding your knit binding strip to, you may need to cut multiple strips and sew them together to
make one long strip. If you decide to make your strip from a woven fabric instead, learn how
to create continuous bias binding to make it quicker and easier.

2. Scoop Pocket – Pattern Pieces and Assembly

Pockets are the perfect addition to any garment, especially something like a pair of pants.
There are two different ways to finish the upper edge of the pocket – either by hemming it or
binding it and then the upper line can be changed depending on the finishing method. Once the
needed pattern pieces have been drafted, cut out the fabric and begin sewing the pocket.

While scoop pockets are a great addition to a garment like a pair of pants, there are other
great pocket options for other garments as well. Learn about sewing slant pockets and making
lined patch pocket patterns too. If you are needing to add a hem to a garment or home decor
project, but don’t want to see a stitching line or want to spend the time doing an invisible hand
stitch, fusible hem tape is a great alternative.

3. Using Fusible Hem Tape

Fusible hem tape is a double sided fusible adhesive tape that can be used to permanently
adhere two layers of fabric together. While there are several different brands and types of fusible
hem tape available on the market today, they are generally all adhered the same way.

If you are hemming a garment that may need to be adjusted at some point, for
example hemming pants, this may not be the best solution as there is no way to remove the
adhesive once it has been fuse. If you are hemming a project that may need to be adjusted and
you still do not want to see a stitching line, hand stitching using an invisible stitch is the best. Bias
tape is a great way to finish the edges of a project.

4. Applying Bias Tape

The method you choose for using bias tape for finishing can depend on your project and the
type of tape you are using. Ashley begins by explaining the difference between bias tape and
straight grain tape. Bias tape is made by cutting strips of fabric on the bias, which is the 45 degree
angle from the strait of grain of fabric. This is where the fabric has the most stretch, meaning this
type of binding is best used on projects that have a curved edge.

Straight grain tape is made from cutting strips of fabric on the strait of grain. Generally,
fabric does not have a lot of stretch or give in this direction and therefore this type of tape is best
used for square projects or those with straight edges only.

Methods of applying bias tape can differ. To sew double fold tape in place by simply done
by wrapping it over the edge of your project and sewing both sides in place at the same time.
Single fold tape, rather, is first sewn to one side of the project and then wrapped around the edge
and secured to the other side. Some of the other ins and outs of bias tape including how to attach
it around a corner making what is known as a miter.

B. Exercise
True or False. Mark check (/) if the statement is correct and mark wrong (x) if the statement
is incorrect.
___ Bias tape is being cut in any angle from the grain of a fabric.
___ There are a lot of ways of finishing a garment.
___ Knit binding must be cut 45 % on the grain of the fabric.
___ Pockets are only a decoration of a garments.
___ Fusible hem tape can adhere two layers of fabric together.
C. Assessments/Applications/Outputs
Make a scrapbook with the samples of the different finishing touches used in dressmaking.
Label each and write your procedure in making each kind. Use only small drawing book for
a scrapbook. Make it attractively by using your creative imagination.

Competency Code: TLE_HEDM9-12SG- IIhg-4
Name: __________________________________________Year & Section: _____________
School: _________________________________________ District: ___________________

A. Readings/Discussions:

Garment Finishing:
The finishing department is the department which comes after all the departments and it
plays an equally important role in the final appearance of the garment. This department includes
majorly of the following steps:
1.Trimming: This involves the removal of the extra threads from the garment at the stitched areas.
2.Inspection: The inspection carried out here is according to the AQL 2.5 system and sometimes
it depends on the buyer also i.e., if the buyer emphasizes for a 100% inspection then the company
has to do as specified.
3.Semi pressing: This happens when a garment is difficult to inspect in the crushes manner as it
comes from the washing department hence, they do a partial pressing for the garments and then
inspect it and trim it and then send it to the complete pressing process.
4.Pressing: The pressing is done after the garment has been completely inspected and the
garments
are pressed on the basis of how they will be folded during packing.
5.Tagging: Once the garments are been done with the inspection and complete pressing then
they are sent for tagging the labels and the labels include the size labels, price tags and
miscellaneous labels if any required by the buyer. Once the tagging is done the garments are
folded according to the buyer’s specification.

The Principles of Pressing:


The process by which the unwanted creases and wrinkles are removed from the garments
and the outlook of the garments is improved as well is termed as pressing. It is also known as
ironing. In garments industries there is a separate section for ironing the products. It is generally
done by heated plates and electric irons in moist condition of garments.

Objective of Pressing:
1. Removal of unwanted creases and wrinkles: During garments manufacturing, creasing
occurs in garments due to operator’s handling and for tying up garments tightly in boxes. To
remove these creases and unwanted wrinkles pressing is to be done.
2. Hiding imperfections: Pressing can hide a multitude (huge number) of garment’s
imperfections and faults such as puckered seam and naps.
3. To apply creases where necessary: Sometimes in garment we may need to apply some
permanent creases such as pleats in shirts and for that purpose we have to apply creases or folds
by pressing. Sometimes the pressing is done before sewing though after sewing it is also
common.
4. Shaping: Dart and seam are used to make garments properly fit with the shape of human body.
To make these darts more attractive, pressing is applied which is known as the part of garment
may have to be shrunk or stretched for shaping.
5. Under pressing: For sewing easily and properly pressing is done on some parts of garments
before sewing, which is called under pressing. Under pressing is done in manufacturing jackets,
trousers, coats, etc. They also require final pressing.
6. Final pressing: The pressing which is done before packing the garments is known as final
pressing. By final pressing the garments become glossy (silky).
Equipment of Pressing:
In house hold operations, normal electric irons are extensively used. But today steam irons
are used for industrial purposes. In stem irons, the iron is heated up by steam which is supplied
from a central boiler or a mini boiler. The supply of steam is regulated by a hand regulated button.
This steam is supplied to iron from the boiler through a pipe and let to come out through
perforations under the iron. These irons are triangular in shape and their weight varies from 1 t 15
kg. For pressing this iron, ironing bed or table is required. With the bed there should be a provision
of air suction system. After ironing, a foot regulated switch is pressed for air suctioning which
removes the moisture and heat as well from the pressed garment quickly. To operate steam iron,
skilled and experienced operator is required.
Folding:                                                                                                          
         
In garments industry, finishing is a process which consists of pressing or ironing, folding
and packing of garments among them, by pressing were move unwanted crease or wrinkles from
garments. Again, folding is done by ironing. After pressing, the process used to fold the garment in
a required size and shape is called folding.
Packaging: It is the science, art and technology of enclosing or protecting products for
distribution, storage, sale, and use. Packaging also refers to the process of designing, evaluating,
and producing packages. Packaging contains, protects, preserves, transports, informs, and
sells.Let's take a look at some of the different types of packaging options you can use to enhance
your product & customer experience!
1. Paperboard boxes =is a paper-based material that is lightweight, yet strong

A. Readings/Discussions
Laying out your pattern on the fabric to prepare for cutting is an important step that must be
done carefully and accurately for great-looking results. A well-sewn garment starts at the cutting
table. Laying out your pattern on the fabric to prepare for cutting is an important step that must be
done carefully and accurately for great-looking results. Here are some tips on layout and some
ideas on pinning or using weights to anchor your pattern pieces in place.

Preshrink your fabric if necessary, and make sure the grain is straight. Do this by tearing
across the grain at the ends of your fabric piece (if it’s firmly woven), pulling a thread across the
width of the fabric at the ends, or cutting along a dominant line in the pattern or weave. Fold
lengthwise, matching selvages, to see whether the ends now match. If they don’t and the fabric
needs to be straightened, gently pull on the fabric’s length from opposite corners.

Spread out fabric carefully


In preparation for cutting, fabric is usually folded. The instruction sheet gives alternatives for
folding that are determined by the fabric’s width, the garment’s size, and the size of the pattern
pieces. A crosswise layout is often needed for wide pieces, and sometimes a layout shows a
double fold, in which both selvages are brought to the center (see the drawings below). In all
cases, fold fabric right sides out to view designs that must be centered or matched and when
cutting pile fabrics like velvet or corduroy, because there’s less sliding.
Choose a layout from the appropriate instruction sheet, or invent your own. When working
with a plaid fabric, lay out your pattern pieces on a single thickness for easier matching, regardless
of suggested layout. When laying out soft sheers and slippery fabrics, tightly cover your cutting
surface with a muslin-like fabric to help prevent sliding, and use a single-thickness layout.

Whether you fold or cut singly, always keep the entire length of fabric on top of the cutting
surface while pinning and cutting to prevent distortion or stretching caused by the weight of the
fabric hanging over the table’s edge. For large fabric pieces, fold or roll up the end that’s not being
cut, and unroll as your layout progresses. Be sure that all of your pattern pieces fit on your fabric
before you begin cutting.
Choose a cutting layout
Pattern instructions provide layout diagrams for various fabric widths. Find the best layout in the
instructions for your pattern, size, and fabric width.

With-nap layout, lengthwise fold


A with-nap layout has all pattern pieces placed in the same direction, so any designs or nap
on the fabric will be consistently positioned on the garment.
Without-nap layout, crosswise fold
In a without-nap layout, the pattern pieces can be placed in opposing directions.
Lengthwise double fold
This layout is used when cutting two pieces that fit side by side on the fabric, but need to be
placed on the fold for cutting.
Grainline and layout
A grainline mark on a pattern piece is the long straight line with arrows at each end that
shows how to position the piece accurately on the fabric’s grain. Pin one of the arrows in place,
and measure from it to the fabric’s selvage. Then measure and adjust the other arrow so that it’s
the same distance from the selvage.When your pattern pieces are properly aligned on the fabric
anchor them with pins, as most sewers do, or use weights. Then get out your scissors. You’re
ready to cut.

Anchor the pattern to the fabric


Choose pins suitable to fabric; place them perpendicular to cutting lines and pointed into
corners. To keep pattern and fabric flat, catch as little of each as possible. Weights are a fast,
easy way to anchor a pattern. You can use weights designed for this purpose, or raid your
cupboard for soup cans or something smooth and heavy enough to hold your pattern in place.

Why Cutting Fabric Matters?


If your cutting is out then you will have seams that don’t match and clothing that doesn’t
hang nicely. It will be difficult to put pieces together as well adding to your frustration levels and
the amount of unpicking to do. Cutting fabric in or out of the pattern borders means your seam
allowance will be inaccurate resulting in an item that is the wrong size. All that time you spend
sewing is wasted if your beautiful clothing doesn’t fit. Jagged edges created by incorrect cutting
fabric techniques result in increased tendencies to fray and are harder to sew accurately.
Imagine if you cut a hem longer on one side than the other. It wouldn’t look great, would it?
So how to cut fabric to get the best results?

How To Cut Fabric


Before you start, check your cutting tools. At a minimum, you will need the following:
Fabric Shears – These are scissors specially designed for cutting fabric. They are sharp and
accurate and will become your most used tool in the workroom.
Cheap Scissors – Use a cheaper pair to cut the paper patterns
If you are going to be doing a lot of sewing and cutting fabric then a rotary cutter can save
you a lot of time particularly if you will be cutting a lot of straight edges such as those found on a
quilt or long ruffles. For using a rotary cutter you will also need a cutting mat and a ruler.
I assume you have arrived at this article because you are a beginner sewer, but if you ever decide
to go professional and sew for profit, then you may consider purchasing some electric scissors.
These are great at cutting several layers at once and can save your wrist from pain if you are
cutting for days at a time.

Further Reading: Using a Rotary Cutter


If you haven’t already, protect your table from scratches. Even careful cutting can
result in table scratches so if you are worried about this, place something in between your
wooden surface and the fabric. Vinyl tablecloths do a good job as their slippery nature
makes fabric easy to maneuver.

B. Exercise

LEARNER’S HOME TASK IN TLE 10 (DRESSMAKING)


SELF-LEARNING HOME TASK (SLHT)

Subject: TLE (Dressmaking) Grade: 10 Quarter: 2 Week: 4


MELC: Apply Finishing touches on ladies’ blouse.
Competency Code: TLE_HEDM9-12BL-IIj-8
Name: __________________________________________Year & Section: _____________
School: _________________________________________ District: ___________________

A. Readings/Discussions

Finishing Touches In Making Ladies’ Blouse

Finishing touch is a final detail or action completing and enhancing a piece of work.
In textile manufacturing, finishing refers to the processes that convert the woven or knitted cloth
 into a usable material and more specifically to any process performed after dyeing the yarn or
fabric to improve the look, performance, or "hand" (feel) of the finish textile or clothing.

Knit Binding

Adding a knit binding to your garment is a great way to finish the edge of a knit fabric
around armscye openings and necklines. With knit binding needing to be cut on the strait of grain,
Nicki explains several ways that you can find and cut along that straight of grain to get your
binding strips. Depending on where you are adding your knit binding strip to, you may need to cut
multiple strips and sew them together to make one long strip. If you decide to make your strip from
a woven fabric instead, learn how to create continuous bias binding to make it quicker and easier.

Fold Over Elastic

Fold over elastic is a great way to bind the edges of a garment in areas that require stretch,
like the neck opening or armscye openings on a knit top. Some of the different widths and colors it
can be found in the cloth. It has two distinct sides, a dull side and a shiny side either can be used
as the ‘right’ side, depending on personal preference. The two main ways that fold over elastic can
be sewn into a knit garment in the neck and arm openings – in the round and in the flat. To sew,
fold over elastic in the round around the neck opening. To measure in order to know how much
elastic to cut to give you enough to overlap the ends, sew them together, and still have the elastic
lay flat when it is attached to the garment. This step is essential in making sure that the elastic is
evenly distributed around the neck opening of the shirt.

Sewing a Hong Kong Seam


A Hong Kong seam finish is a great way to finish a seam and add pops of color to your
garments or projects at the same time. When adding a Hong Kong seam finish to a project, the
two seam allowances are finished separately, as opposed to together like some other traditional
seam finishing methods. Because of this, it is a great technique to use on bulky or hard to work
with fabrics. You can also use a Hong Kong seam to finish seams when sewing silk.

The seam allowances are finished with a binding that goes over the raw edges. When
sewing the binding onto the seam allowance, you simply place the binding strip and the seam
allowance edge with right sides together and sew. To do this to ensure that you are only stitching
one seam allowance at a time and not catching the other, or the rest of the project, in the stitching
line. The seam allowance that should be used when stitching the binding strip in place. Once it
has been stitched. Fold under and press the binding strip so that it finishes the edge of the initial
seam allowance. The binding will then need to be stitched an additional time to secure it. Once all
of the steps have been completed on the first seam allowance side, they can be repeated on the
other. While doing a Hong Kong seam finish on a garment or project adds a few additional steps to
the finishing process, the professional look is worth the work.

If you are needing to add a hem to a garment or home decor project, but don’t want to see
a stitching line or want to spend the time doing an invisible hand stitch, fusible hem tape is a great
alternative. Ashley Hough teaches you about fusible hem tape and shows you how to use it.

Tips for Using Fusible Hem Tape

Fusible hem tape is a double sided fusible adhesive tape that can be used to permanently
adhere two layers of fabric together. While there are several different brands and types of fusible
hem tape available on the market today, they are generally all adhered the same way. Fusible
hem tape can be found in different widths, depending on the size of hem you are doing on your
project.
It is started by measuring, folding and pressing your hem in place first and then adding the
hem tape. Ensure that no edge of the hem tape extends beyond the fabric and touches the iron.
Iron setting should be use and then adhere the hem tape in place. While using fusible hem tape is
a quick alternative to sewing a hem in place, it is permanent and cannot be removed.
If you are hemming a garment that may need to be adjusted at some point, for example hemming
pants, this may not be the best solution as there is no way to remove the adhesive once it has
been fused. If you are hemming a project that may need to be adjusted and you still do not want to
see a stitching line, hand stitching using an invisible stitch is the best solution.

Bias tape is a great way to finish the edges of a project, whether you are making
something as large as a quilt or as small as a placemat. Learn different techniques for applying
bias tape, including different methods for single- and double-fold tape- Ashley Hough shows you
how.

Tips to Applying Bias Tape

The method you choose for using bias tape for finishing can depend on your project and the
type of tape you are using. Bias tape is made by cutting strips of fabric on the bias, which is the 45
degree angle from the strait of grain of fabric. This is where the fabric has the most stretch,
meaning this type of binding is best used on projects that have a curved edge. Straight grain tape
is made from cutting strips of fabric on the strait of grain. Generally, fabric does not have a lot of
stretch or give in this direction and therefore this type of tape is best used for square projects or
those with straight edges only. Single fold tape, rather, is first sewn to one side of the project and
then wrapped around the edge and secured to the other side.

Piping
Adding piping into a garment or home decor project can give a more decorative,
professional finish. Ashley Hough shows you how to sew piping along straight edges, curved
edges, corners as well as shows how to join the ends of piping. To sew piping to one layer of
fabric, essentially basting it in place. Sandwich two layers of fabric together with the piping in
between and stitch the layers as close to the edge of the piping as possible.

Piping purchased from the store is generally made with bias fabric. To make your own
piping, you may use bias cut fabric. However, depending on the curve, more preparation may
need to be done to the piping before it can be attached. There is similar technique of how to sew
piping around a corner. Depending on where the piping is being inserted the ends of the piping
may either be in a seam, a hem or they may join together. Join the ends of piping together in a
way that both finishes raw edges and eliminates any overlap in the cording within the piping.

B. Exercise.
