Lesson 2.1 – Preparing Materials for Ladies’
Blouse
What I Need to Know
in the module.
This lesson is designed and written with you in mind. It is here to

help you understand The Preparation of Materials/Fabric for Ladies Blouse.
The scope of this module permits it’s to be used in many different learning
situations. The language used recognizes the diverse vocabulary level of
students. The lessons are arranged to follow the standard sequence of the
course.
1. Identify kinds of fabric suited for ladies’ blouse
2. Explain the techniques in handling the fabric before cutting
3. Demonstrate the different techniques in handling the fabric
before cutting
What Is It
This section provides a brief discussion of the lesson. This aims to help you
discover and understand new concepts and skills.
Choosing Fabrics
Fabric is the basic material in making garments. A wide selection

of fabrics in various textures and colors is available today. When selecting a
fabric for your project, it is important to make the fabric’s fiber content, its
texture (or ‘hand), drape, color, and in some instances and the size of its
6
print, or its horizontal stretch, into account. Once a piece of fabric is cut, it
cannot be returned, and mistakes can be costly.
Woven Fabrics
Generally, medium weight,

woven fabrics are easy to handle
and are best choice for beginners.
Examples: cotton, poplin, denim,

gingham, linen
Microfiber Fabrics
These are chemically produced

filaments from nylon and polyester. It is
washable but they tend to be heat
sensitive so care should be taken when
pressing them.
Examples: silk, organza, wool, cashmere
Knitted Fabrics
It is constructed with loops rather

than warp and weft threads being
woven together.
Examples: knits, spandex, sweat suit

fabric, tricot
7
Chemical Fabric Finishes on the Label
Sanforized - a special mechanical process / treatment so as to

prevent shrinkage.
Colorfast - retaining color of dye in faded when fabric is subjected

to the action of water.
Crease – resistant - this process is permanent and renders fabric

resistant to crease
Permanent Press – this finish is permanent and endures through

many washings.
Techniques in Preparing the Fabrics for Cutting
A. Shrinking and soaking the fabric by laundering and drying
Washable fabrics can be pre-shrunk by laundering and drying.

Pre-shrunk washable fabric to prevent shrinkage later.
Procedure in Shrinking Washable Fabrics
1. Fold the fabric lengthwise.

2. Immerse and soak the fabric in cold
water (in large basin).
3. Let it stand for 30 to 60 minutes.
4. Remove it from the water. Do not wring
nor dry the fabrics on the clothesline.
5. Press the cloth when completely dry.
B. Straightening the end of fabrics
This process is to draw the thread or grain of the material of the

uneven crosswise or lengthwise edges to make it straight.
8
How to Straighten the Ends of the Fabric
1. Clip the selvage on the

shortest edge of the
fabric.
2. Pick up a loose
crosswise thread 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
The process of pulling the cloth diagonally from one corner to

the opposite corner thus making the lengthwise to be right angle.
How to Stretch the grain of Fabrics
1. Grasp 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
9
The process of removing wrinkles and creases in fabric by using
the flat iron. Press the wrong side of the cloth in lengthwise grain.
Pressing may enlarge or shrink the fabrics.

Lesson 2.2 – Lay out and Pin Patterns on the
Materials
What I Need to Know
in the module.

help you understand how to lay out and pin patterns on the materials. The
scope of this module permits it’s to be used in many different learning
course.
1. Determine the wrong and right side of the fabric.
2. Enumerate the kind kinds of fabric folds before the making lay
out.
3. Apply the steps in laying out patterns to the cloth
4. Demonstrate the procedure in tracing/marking lines on the
fabric.
12
What Is It
Pattern layout is laying out the entire style pattern on the

cloth. It is done to ensure that the cloth is enough for the
project. The correct placement of each pattern is important to
ensure that the cloth is cut economically.
Rules Observed in Laying out Patterns

 Determine the right and wrong sides of the fabric
Before laying 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 brighter 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 the
right-side in.
 Fabric Folds
There are four kinds of fabric folds:
1. Lengthwise centerfold
The fabric is folded lengthwise at
the center with the selvage together.
2. Crosswise centerfold
The fabric is folded crosswise
with the raw edges together.
13
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 the fabric are the following:
1. When selvages meet, they should match exactly shifting

slippery or soft fabric can be prevented by pinning
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 Lay out

It is the placement and arrangement of pattern pieces on the
materials for marking and cutting.
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 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 material on the right side with selvage folded
together.
7. Pin pattern piece in all the way around the edge.
14
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.

Lesson 2.3 – Cutting and Marking the Materials
21
What I Need to Know

help you understand how to cut and mark the materials for ladies’ blouse.
The scope of this module permits it’s to be used in many different learning
course.
1. Name the cutting tools used in dressmaking.
2. Use cutting tools properly
3. Acquire skills in cutting fabric for ladies’ blouse
4. Evaluate the completeness of garment parts after cutting.
What Is It
Cutting and Marking the Materials

22
Cutting is a crucial step in dressmaking. It should be not 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. 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. They must be sharpened regularly, and the
joints are oiled occasionally for better use.
Types of cutting tools and their uses.
1. 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
length of 7 – 12 inches and are satisfactory for most apparel
23
fabrics.
2. Cutting scissors
a. Trimming scissors – 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.
c. Buttonhole scissor – is intended for
making buttonholes
3. Seam ripper – it is used to rip seams and

removes stitches.
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 paired with cutting mat to
protect the blade and the cutting
surface.
6. Pinking shears – it is popular in

zigzagging or scalloped edge or for
seam finishes. This is used to
finished seams and raw edges on
many types of fabrics.
Cutting with precision makes construction easier and more

accurate. It also contributes to the final success of the garment. To avoid,
mistakes cull 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.
Steps in Cutting Out the Fabrics
24
1. Have everything handy. Gather all the equipment needed for the
cutting process.
2. Use a pair of sharp cutting shears with long even strokes.
3. Pace one hand on the pattern close to the cutting line and hold before
cutting the fabric.
4. To cut out the piece, rest the cutting shear on the table so that the
fabric is slightly raised.
5. Cut first the large pieces, then the small ones.
6. Cut notches away from 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 parts of fabric to hang over the edge of a cutting
table. This is especially important in knitted fabrics.
9. Cut the entire garment at one time.
10. After cutting each part, put it aside. Do not remove the pins and
pattern, for you will need them in marking the fabric.
11. Collect and tie the scraps of cloth together for future use.
Notes: When cutting, always start at the lower end of cloth or at

your left side. Doing this will avoid much remnants.
Marking
In doing this marking details, we must learn the various
marking tools needed. All details should be marked; however, these are not
shown by notches or clips when long straight edges are left unmarked
stitching guide is used to keep seams even.
Construction details to be marked:
 Seam lines
 Center lines along closing
 Fold lines
 Position for ease or gathers
 Position for pockets
 Buttonholes and buttons
 Slash line
 Point where stitching line should stop
25
Marking tools are required for transferring pattern markings to garment
fabric pieces and for making alterations on garment.
There are various types of marking tools:
1. Tailors chalk – is essential as a marker for

use on materials. It is available in different
colors and is remove by brushing.
2. Wax Chalk – is available in black and

white and is used in woolen fabrics. Wax
can be removed by pressing.
3. Dressmaker’s Pencil – is available in white and pastel shades. This

chalk pencil is used to make fine lines on fabric. It has an erasing
brush at one end.
4.
Tracing
Wheel – it is a saw- tooth with a sharp point. This tool is used to

transfer pattern marking to the
wrong side of the fabric. This is
used with the dressmaker’s
carbon paper.
5. Dressmaker’s carbon paper – this

type of tracing paper is available in
a few colors including white, red
and blue. It is used in marking all
26
types of fabric in combination with a tracing wheel. This work is best
on plane, flat surfaced fabrics.
The marking tips

1. Marking is done on the wrong side of the fabric.
2. Pattern symbols are transferred on the wrong side of the
fabric after cutting and before the patterns are removed.
3. Construction symbols and marks for placement of details
should be transferred.
How to Transfer Pattern Markings
1. Place the garment and the pattern piece on top of the tracing
paper.
2. Mark straight lines using the tracing wheel. Get over lines
only once.
3. The tip of darts should be indicated with a short line.
4. Remove the pattern piece then place the pins back.
5. Work on the other side of the fabric, re-trace over previous
