MELC: LO 1. Draft and Cut Pattern for Children’s Wear

Code: TLE_HEDM9-12CW-IIIa-5
Objectives:
1. Identify the types of fabrics and designs suited for children’s wear;
2. Make a project plan for children’s wear; and
3. Value the knowledge gained from this lesson.

Definition of Terms
Toddler is a child approximately 12 to 36 months old, derived from the word
”to toddle” which means to walk unsteadily.
Preschooler children are no longer babies but are not yet old enough to go to
school, usually a child up to age five.
Project plan serves as a guide in making any kind of project.

Characteristics of a well-fitted Children’s wear

When selecting clothing for young children, toddlers and preschoolers,
always consider the physical characteristics and the comfort they give to the
children.

A. Toddler
1. Look for soft, unstructured styles that allow maximum freedom of
movement, such as one-piece garments that fall from the shoulder. These are
also practical because toddlers wear diapers and have not developed a
waistline.
2. Leg openings with snaps on toddlers’ pants help make changing diapers
easier.
3. For necklines, select collarless styles or flat collars, such as Peter pan and
convertible collars.
4. Avoid collars that may bind or restrict movement, such as a high button
collar.
5. When toddlers are first learning to dress, pull-on garments with large neck
and armhole openings are the easiest to manipulate because the toddler is
always on the move.
6. Design features should be functional as well as decorative. For example,
shoulder straps should crisscross at the back to prevent them from sliding off
shoulders.
7. Shoulder tabs on shirts are another way to secure straps.

B. Preschooler
1. Look for styles that allow preschoolers to move and jump about freely.
2. Pockets are important features because preschoolers need places for the
treasures they collect.

2
3. Shoulder tabs on shirts are still valuable.
4. When selecting a garment with long sleeves, avoid buttoned cuffs that
restrict movement.
5. Jumpsuits are practical garments for preschoolers because they allow for
mobility and will maintain a neat appearance.
6. Preschoolers can also wear pants and skirts with elasticized waists because
their waistlines have become more defined.

TYPES OF FABRICS SUITED FOR CHILDREN’S WEAR

Children’s safety and comfort are best considered when buying and
choosing the clothes they wear. Some people, especially mothers, prefer to
buy fabric for their children because they think it is cheaper and they can
choose the best quality fabric for them. There are varieties of fabrics to choose
from.
1. Seersucker. A thin, all-cotton fabric, commonly striped,
used to make clothing for spring and summer wear, suits,
slacks and children’s clothing.
