Information Sheet 1.1

PRINCIPLES OF DESIGN
The principles of design are concept used to organize or arrange the structural elements of
design. These the ways i which these principles are applied the affects the expressive content,
or the message of the work.

Principles

Balance -According to this principle ,from the centered of the dress ,design should be identified
on both sides may be achieved ways:

a. Symmetrically or the formal balance - can be described as having

equal "weight" on equal sides of a centrally placed like see saw. This is
an easy way of balancing but such balance lends monotony to the

design.

b. Asymmetrical or the informal balance-

when the structure decoration and accessories
are different both sides from the center of the
design. In this design attraction both side is
created by using different accessories.

c. Proportion- is the pleasing relationship of all parts of the object

with one another .Proportion refers to the relative size scale of the

various elements in a design. The issue is the relationship between objects,

or parts, of a whole.
 d. Emphasis- every pleasing design has one part

is more interesting in any other. This is the

emphasis or the center of the interest .

Rhythm - these are smooth movement repeated again and

again. Rhythm is an important principle of art. It is created

by repeated use of design. If there is rhythm in a design,

the eye would move easily from one part to another.

Rhythm can be created in three ways in a design:

a. Repetition of lines, colors, or accessories. Parallel lines
are formed by the use of seams ,buttons, embroidery, lace, etc.
which helps uninterrupted eye movement.

Radiation. Rhythm can also be created by the

radiated lines. T These lines are created by gathers Eye can move
easily from one part to the other on the small lines created by gathers.
Such lines can be seen i Such lines can be seen in gathers on neckline, arm
and and skirt.
Gradation. Rhythm can be created by gradual

change of lines, shape , or shade of the color

Harmony - means a relationship of different portion

of a design. Harmony should be achieved through

judicious use of color , shape, and texture to give

a feeling of oneness.

COLOR THEORY
 The first thing you usually notice about clothes or anything is their color.
Before you start studying which colors look best together, you should learn the meaning
of color terms and the rules that apply to colors.

The Color Wheel

Primary Colors- the sources of all colors, even though there are thousands and
thousands of colors in the world, they are all made up of these colors - red, blue, and
yellow.

Secondary Colors- are produced when mixing two equal amount of primary colors. If
you mix equal amount or yellow and blue you will have green, equal parts of red and
blue will have violet, and red and yellow you will have orange.

Look at the color wheel you will find these colors- orange, green, and violet.
Intermediate Colors- are produced by mixing two equal amount of primary and
secondary colors. Example, if you mix equal parts of yellow (primary color) and green
(secondary color) you will have yellow- green . Noticed that yellow - green is found
between yellow and green on the color wheel.

The intermediate colors are;

Yellow + green = yellow -green Red +violet = red-violet

Blue +green =Blue-green Red + orange= red-orange

Blue +violet = blue -violet Blue + orange= blue-orange

Pure Colors - are the primary , secondary, and intermediate colors because they have
no white, black and gray in them. Pure colors are also called "normal, true and basic
colors".

Tints - when pure colors are mixed with white , they are made lighter. Example , when
white is added to red you have pink. In other words pink is a tint of red. The more white
you add, the lighter the pink will be. Tints are also called "pastels".

Shades - when pure colors are mix with black, they are made darker. Example, when
black is added to red you have maroon, a shade of red. The more black you add, the
more darker you have.

Grayed Colors- most colors we use in clothes are grayed colors rather than bright,
pure colors you see on the color wheel. Grayed colors are also referred to as "soft
color" or "dull colors". The more gray you add, the more duller the color will be.

Neutral - are white, black and gray. They look well with another and with all other
colors. The more grayed color becomes, the more different colors it will harmonized
with.

Warm and Cool Colors

Cool Colors - are green, blue green, blue, blue-violet, violet. Blue is the coolest color.
They are adjacent to one another to the color wheel.

Qualities of Color
Hue - is the family group name of a color. It is the name of a color. Ones they are
combined differently and given new names.

Value- refers to the lightness or the tint or the darkness of the shade. The scale of
value colors are the from the very lightness tint to the very darkest of the shade.

Intensity- means the brightness or dullness of a color. When you refer to color as
"bright" or" very bright" or "dull" or" very dull" you are describing its intensity. Example,
green peppers are bright yellow-green, while olives are dull yellow green.

Color Schemes

The beauty of any color scheme depends upon how well the color harmonize. To
harmonize, colors must appear to belong together.

1. One -color harmony (monochromatic color)- the easiest color scheme to

follow is one that uses the same color in different values and intensity. Example,
dark blue suit with very dark blue accessories and a light blue blouse.

2. Adjacent color harmony- or analogous color harmony. Since they are near
each other on the color wheel, neighbor color harmony. Example, yellow-orange,
orange and yellow-green are the next to each other to the color wheel; therefore,
a pleasing adjacent color harmony may be made from them.
 3. Complementary Color Harmony- these are colors that are opposite in the color
wheel. Using these color may be very pleasing.

a. Complementary colors- these are colors that are opposite in the color wheel.
Example red and green, blue and orange, yellow and violet.
b. Split complementary colors- a variation of the complementary color scheme. In
addition to the base color it uses the two colors adjacent to its complement.

c. Triad - a triadic color scheme uses colors that are evenly spaced around the color
wheel. Triadic color harmonies tend to be quite vibrant even if you use pale or
unsaturated versions of your hu--.

Objectives :

At the end of this practice, the learner/ trainee should be able to:

1. Measure the length and the width of a cloth for table napkin
2. Sew simple table napkin

Materials
 Fabric
 Pins
 Thread

Tools
 Tape Measure
 Scissor

Equipment
 Sewing Machine

Instructions :

Choose the perfect fabric.

I suggest using linen (perfect for a more formal table) , cotton, or a blend of the
two. Synthetic fibers , like polyester, make ironing easier , but it’s very hard to
remove stains from poly and poly blends – and napkins will definitely get stains.
For more casual napkins, check out your local quit shop for some great cotton
holiday prints. You can skip the embellishment with a print , but a mitered hem is
a great finishing touch on both solid and printed fabric.

Cut accurately.
1. Determine the size of the finished napkins. Measure some you have that
seem just right or use the dimensions I used for my cocktail and dinner
napkins: The cocktail napkins are 9 inches x 9 inches finished and the
generous dinner napkins are 21 inches x 21 inches finished.
 2. It’s important that you start by finding the exact grain on the fabric. Do this
by pulling a thread across the width at one end or square up line from the
selvage. Tearing across the width of the cotton fabric will also give the
straight grain.
3. Cut a square for each napkins, using the established grain line as a
guide, that’s 1 inch larger on each edge than the finished napkin size. (For
a 9-inch cocktail napkin, cut an 11-inch square). To form the hem, turn in
and press 1 inch all around. Then press under ¼ inch on each edge.

Turn in a 1-inch hem, then turn in

the raw edge ¼ inch.

Miter the corners.

1. Mark the point where the inner folder edges intersect with two pims.

With two pins, mark the point where the

hem edges intersect at the inside corner.
2. Open the hem , keeping the ¼ - inch fold in place , and turn right side together ,
matching pin marks.

3. Mark a line from the outside corner of the hem to the pins (the inside corner) and
the two layers together.

Draw a line from the outside

corner to the inside corner (the
point where the hem edges
intersect).

4. Stitch diagonally along the marked line.

Sew along the line

5. Turn the corner to the right side to check that the miter fits.

Always check to be sure the

miter is just right before
trimming away the excess
fabric.

6. Turn inside again, then trim away the excess fabric, making a ¼ -inch seam
allowance.

Trim the seam allowance

to ¼ inch.
7. Press this seam open. Turn right side out and press.

Press the seam open.

(This is the perfect time
to use a point presser
and pounding block that
I wrote about last week).

8. Sew the hem in place along the inner fold and admire your miter.

 Selection of Pattern Tools

•Procedures in Drafting Block Pattern

Pattern tools are used in garment

construction. The skillful use of the
different sewing pattern tools will help
take body measurement and drafting
pattern with accuracy and speed.

Success in sewing calls for the right

tools at the right time. All tools must be
appropriate in a proper order and one
must know how to use them to save
time and produce the best result. This
lesson will provide knowledge and skills
of the different tools and equipment are
presented to help the students work
faster.
PATTERN TOOLS / MEASURING TOOLS

Pencil

This is available in white or pastel shades.

This pencil is used to make fine lines on fabric.

It has and erasing brush at one end.

Tailor’s Chalk

This is essential as a marker for use on materials.

Tailor’s chalk is available in a range of colors and

Is removed by brushing.
Dressmakers Pattern Paper

Dressmaker’s pattern paper also called dressmaker’s

Tracing paper is a specially waxed carbon paper that

Transfer’s the tracing wheel’s marking to the fabric.

A color of tracing paper should be chosen that is close

to the color of the fabric. Different brands of tracing

paper have different instruction; therefore, the instruct-

ions for the particular brand that is purchased should

be followed.

French Curve

This is used to shape the depth of the neck hole

and armhole of the pattern.

Triangle

Suitable for clothes design tailoring,

styling design, French curve pattern,

clothing curve feet , multifunction.

Hip curve

It will help you make smooth

curves at the hip, neckline , and
armholes, and you can measure
curves, too. A really basic hip
curve really only works for the hip
or very gently curves.
 Ruler with Grid

Pattern drafting tools and

dressmakers rulers are
essential for making patterns.
The most popular ruler in the
range, a must for all quilters.
Perfect for cutting strips,
squares, rectangles, and
triangles,

Procedure Manual

Step 1:

Mark your origin. Orient your paper in landscape orientation, or with the longest
dimension running horizontally in front of you. Mark a point in the upper left corner about
1 cm from either edge of the paper. This is your origin point, you’re your home base and
all your measurement and lines are going to based on this point. Mark this point 0.

Step 2:

Square off. From your origin point 0, measure down 1.5cm parallel to the vertical edge
of the paper and draw a line to that point. Mark that point A.
Step 3:

Armscye Depth. From the point A, you will now measure down the armscye depth plus
0.5cm. The armscye is half the circumference of the arm at the shoulder joint. Mark the
end point B.

Step 4:

Bust Width. From point B, draw a line perpendicular to line AB. This line will be the
length of the bust measurement plus 5cm. Mark the end point of that line C.

Step 5:

Drawing upwards from point C, draw a line parallel to line OB, for the same distance
as the length of OB. If your bust measurement is 92cm or below, mark this point D. For
bust sizes above 92cm,get out your calculator- you’re going to add 1/8th of the distance
above 92cm. For example, someone with a 100cm bust measurement is 8cm above
92cm. 1/8th of 8cm is 1cm. Add this amount to the line drew off of point C, and mark the
endpoint D. Draw a light line connecting points D and O. You’ll be erasing this line later.
Step 6:

Return to Point O. Drawing straight down again from point O, parallel to the vertical
edge of the paper, mark the distance from the nape of the neck to the waist. I have a
trick for finding the nape of my neck: Tip your head back as far as it will go, and rest two
fingers of your neck where the back of the head and the back of the neck meet. Don’t
force them into the crevice, just rest them there so that the tops of your finger are
touching your head and the bottoms are on your neck. Lift your head again, and your
middle finger will be on your nape. The waist is the smallest point of the torso, and can
be found by trying a narrow strip of elastic snuggly around your waist and bending your
body – the elastic will roll the narrowest part of your torso, your waist. Measure along
the spine between these two points. Mark the endpoint of this line point E.

Step 7:

Square off as shown below. Mark the corner point F.

Step 8:

The Neck. Go back to point o, and measure across 1/5th of the neck measurement (
taken around the neck at the nape) minus 0.2 cm. Mark this point G. You need not
connect points O and G, but you choose to, draw the line lightly, as it will need to be
erased later.

Step 9:

Using the French Curve, draw a shallow curve from the points A to G. This is your back
neckline edge.
Step 10:

Returning to Point A. Measure down from point A 1/5th of the armscye measurement
minus 0.7cm. Mark this point H. From point H, draw a line perpendicular to the line OB
that is half the distance of line BC( see illustration below)

Step 11:

Shoulder Measurement. The shoulder measurement is somewhat tricky to get; you are
probably need a second set of hands to help you out. To measure the shoulders, stretch
the measuring tape across your back, from the very end of one shoulder to the very
end of the other. Make a note of the measurement, you will need it later. Now, with your
ruler zeroed on point G, pivot your ruler until the distance you need to mark (1/2 of the
shoulder Measurement +1cm) intersects with the line your drew in step 10. Mark the the
intersection point1. ( A reader pointed out to me that these two may not intersect
smoothly.) If you’re finding the line H is too short to accommodate your shoulder
measurement, go ahead and extend line H out to fit. Remember, this sort of thing is
based on averages and the ‘average” body structure , but reality not everyone conforms
to that average.)
Step 12:

Find the Point. Halfway between points G and I. Mark that point J. From point J,
measure 5cm down and 1cm to the left. Mark this point K. Point K is the end of the
shoulder dart.

Step 13:

From the point K, draw two diagonal lines up GI. They should intersect with the line
1cm apart, and the lines should be equal length.

Step 14:

Back Measurement. From point B, measure and mark half the back measurement plus
0.5cm along the line BC. An easy way to obtain the back measurement is to put on a
fitted t-shirt and measure across the back from armscye seam to armscye seam at the
narrowest point( across the shoulder blades). Mark this point L.
Step 15:

Square up from point L to the HI. Mark the intersection point M. Be sure to pencil in
this line lightly , as you’ll be erasing it later on.

Step 16:

Find the point halfway between L and M. Mark this point N. Also, find the point
halfway between B and L. Mark this point P. Measure the distance between B and P,
and mark this distance along the horizontal line fro point E. Mark the end point Q. Draw
a dashed line point P to point Q.

Step 17:

Moving to the other side, measure 1/5th of the neck measurement plus 0.7cm from the
point D, along the line DO. Mark this new point R.
Step 18:

Measure Down from point D 1/5th of the neck measurement minus 0.2cm. Mark this
point S.

Step 19:

Using your French Curve. Draw a deep curved line from point R to point S. This is the
front neckline edge.

Front Neckline Edge

Step 20:

Bust Dart. From the point c, measures towards point B the distance on ½ the chest
measurement plus ½ the dart size. Mark that point T. This part can get a little tricky. To
obtain the chest measurement , subtract the back measurement from the bust
measurement. The dart size is not actually a measurement, but it is the scaled with the
bust size. To find your dart size, start with a 7cm dart and add 0.6cm to it for every 4cm
of bust above 88cm. so, a 100cm bust has a 8.8cm dart, while a 84cm bust has a 6.4cm
dart. Make note of your dart size. Draw a vertical line up from point T to just below line
HI.
Step 21:

Find the Halfway Point between point C and T. Mark this point U. Draw a dashed
vertical line downward to intersect with line EF. Mark the intersection point V. This is the
mid front line.

The Mid- Front line

Step 22:

Mark the Bust Point 2.5cm below point U. Mark this point BP.
Step 23:

Using the Dart Size from step 20, measure from point R along the line DO. Mark the
resulting point W. Now draw a line from point R to the bust Point ( BP) , and from point
BP to point W. These are the sides of your bust dart.

The Bust Dart

Step 24:

Shift Your Attention to the construction line passing through points H, M , and I.
Measure down 1.5cm and lightly draw in a new construction line parallel to the first ,
across the middle of the block.
Step 25:

Repeat the Pivoting Motion we did in step 11. Zero your ruler on point W and pivot
the ruler until it crosses the construction line at the distance of the shoulder
measurement. Mark this intersection point X.

Pivoting again

Step 26:

Measure Upwards 1/3 of the armscye depth measure from point to T and mark that
point Y. Find the halfway point between points L and T . Mark that point Z. Draw a
dashed vertical line down from point z until it intersects the waistline (line EF), and mark
that intersection point AA.
Step 27 :

Draw a Small Diagonal inward – pointing line from Point L and Point T. The length of
that line will vary depending on your bust size.

Bust Measurement L length T length

82cm or smaller 2.25cm 1.75cm

82-94cm 2.5cm 2cm

94-107cm 3cm 2.5cm

Above 107cm 3.5cm 3cm

Step 28:

Using Your French Curve, draw a armscye curve so that it passes smoothly through
the construction points I-M-L Segment- Z- T Segment- Y- X.

Drawing in the Armscye

Step 29:

Extend the line DF downwards by 0.5- 1.5cm, depending on your bust measurement (
0.5cm for small, 1.0cm for intermediate, 1.5cm for large).Mark the endpoint AB. Draw a
line from AB to E. This ensures that the waist remains horizontal and doesn’t ride up.

Extending the Line

Step 30:

Draw in Darts around each of the three dashed lines that extend from the lower
boundary of the block (line A B to E ) to the line BC,. And this is where Gedwood’s
direction become a little fuzzy and convoluted , so I’m going to attempt to unravel them:

At the end of this, what’s left of line E AB should measure out to ( Bust Measurement
+3) + (Waist measurement +6 ))/2. For example, if you’re working with an 88cm bust
and a 65cm waist , the math should as follows

88+3=91

65+6=71

91-71=20( This is the amount that needs to be taken in darts all around)

20/2=10( This is how much we need to take out in darts on the pattern)

Dividing up the darts as evenly as possible, we get back=3cm, side=3cm,front=4cm

Drawing in the Darts

Step 31:

Redraw Your Block outline and cut along these lines to get the final, close –fitting basic
bodice block.

BASIC HAND STICHTES

Sewing the basic hand stitches are very easy if you learn each step thoroughly
before you start practicing the next step. Sewing by hand is a skill that most if not all
people should probably attempt to master at some point.
Back stitch make one running stitch, then take a back stitch
to the beginning of the first stitch thus overlapping each
running stitch. Resembles machine stitching and is used to
strengthen a seam made by hand.

Basting is a quite important in successful sewing. This is

used to hold fabric temporarily in place until permanently
stitched. There are four types of basting; hand basting,
machine basting, pin basting and basting edges with an iron.

Running Stitch to make this stitch push point of needle in

and out of fabric until you have several stitches on the needle.
Hold fabric taut with left hand pull the needle through. Practice
until you make fine even stitches.

Outline stitch this stitch is similar to the back stitch but it is

slanted. Make one slanted backstitch in front of another letting
each one overlap the one before it just a little bit until the
design is filled.

Blanket Stitch put your needle in ¼ inch from the edge of

the fabric put the thread under the point of the needle and pull
through.

Catch Stitch this is used for a flat finish next to fabric such
as seam binding on a hem. Hold open hem edge away from
you work from left to right. Take stitch in the hem then a tiny
stitch to the right just beyond edge of hem with the point of
needle to the left. This makes diagonal lined that cross each
other.

Chain Stitch insert the needle in and out of the fabric.

Bring the thread under the tip of the needle while still in the
fabric then pull the needle through.

Information Sheet 1.1

Sewing Tools
Pattern tools are used in garment construction. The skillful
use of the different sewing pattern tools will help take body
measurement and drafting pattern with accuracy and speed.

Success in sewing calls for the right tools at the right time.
All tools must be appropriate in a proper order and one must
know how to use them to save time and produce the best
result. This lesson will provide knowledge and skills of the
different tools and equipment are presented to help the
students work faster.
Tape Measure
A flexible measuring device used in taking body
measurements. The front has the measurement of 150
centimeters and 60 inches on the other side. Fiber tape is
commonly used by dressmakers.

L- square
The tailor square or “L” is used to transfer measurements to
the draft pattern. It also divides the garment into the desired
measurement. It has perfect squares and is useful in making
straight lines and numbers. It can also function as a tape
measure.

It has two arms connected perpendicularly.

a. The longer arm is twenty –four (24) inches long.

b. The shorter arm is fourteen (14) inches long.

Meter stick

A meter stick is made of smooth , shellacked

hardwood or metal. It is used for marking
hemlines and checking grainlines when laying
out the pattern.
 Pencil/Dressmaker pencil
This is available in white or pastel shades. This chalk pencil is
used to make fine lines on fabric. It has an erasing brush at one
