TOPIC 1
Selection of Fabrics and Accessories
At the end of this unit, you should be able to:

1. differentiate types of fibers;
2. understand the proper care for different fabrics in your wardrobe.

Fabric is a flat-film mass made up of fine-soft objects through intersecting, winding,
and joining. After many yarns constitute a stable relationship, it forms the fabric.
Intersecting, winding and joining are three relationships that can make the yarns to
form a stable structure. Fabrics are products made with different techniques such
as knitting, weaving, crochet, etc. However, all over the world, the fabric refers to
the fabric used to make the dresses.
Textile fibers are those fibers which can be spun into a yarn or made into a fabric
by interlacing, or interlooping in a variety of machines including weaving, knitting,
braiding, felting, bonding, etc.

Types of Fibers

1. Natural fibers are those fibers which are available from the natural sources like
plants, animals, minerals, etc. The mineral fibers are also referred as miscellaneous
inorganic fibers.

2. Manmade fibers known as Manufactured fiber. Synthetic or man-made fibers
generally come from synthetic materials such as petrochemicals. But some types of

synthetic fibers are manufactured from natural cellulose; including rayon, modal,
and the more recently developed Lyocell.

Care for different fabrics in your Wardrobe

1. Cotton:
• Since cotton is quite durable, you can relax knowing the washing machine

won't cause any adverse effects.
• Wash cotton clothing in warm (not hot) water, using colour-safe detergent.
• To keep cotton towels fluffy and soft to the touch, use half the recommended

amount of detergent, and give them an extra rinse at the end of the cycle.
• Tumble dry low or dry naturally to prevent shrinking.
• Synthetic fabrics (rayon, nylon, acrylics, spandex, and polyester):
• Synthetic fabrics are also easy to maintain - just turn them inside-out, pop

them in the wash and use regular detergent.
• Tumble dry low, just as you would with cotton.
• For nylon clothing, you might want to consider using fabric softener to

prevent static electricity.

2. Linen
• Never wash linen clothing at a temperature of more than 60 degrees Celsius

by doing so, you risk causing premature wear.
• Separate colours from light, white linens. Dyes can easily bleed through and

ruin pure white linen.
• Use non-bleach stain remover prior to laundering. Bleach will weaken fibres

in the fabric and ruin dyed clothes.
• Try to remove stains immediately, if possible. (This rule applies to most

fabrics.)
• Wash table linens and towels separately, otherwise clothes will come out

covered in lint.

• When washing linen clothing, fill your machine only halfway. This fabric
needs a little more water than others to get clean.

• Always hang your linens out to dry. Tumble drying them will cause creases
and shrinkage.

3. Silk
• Hand wash silk clothing, using a gentle soap.
• Hang it out to dry.
• Never iron silk clothing - it will burn the fabric.

4. Wool
• Avoid frequent washes, as this will shorten the life of your wool clothing and
wear the fabric out prematurely.
• Wool is an especially delicate fabric, so treat it with care.
• Soak wool in cold water prior to washing in soapy water. This will help
prevent shrinkage.
• When washing is absolutely necessary, use a delicate setting with cold or
lukewarm water.
• If possible, it’s best to hand wash wool items. Always dry it naturally - tumble
drying will ruin your clothes.
• Use specially-made wool detergent to get the fabric clean and fresh.

5. Spandex Fabric
• Avoid hot water and chlorine bleach.
• Hang spandex garments to dry, and avoid machine drying.

6. Polyester Fabric
• Machine washed using warm water, but check the care label first.
• Tumble dry polyester garments on low heat.

OBJECTIVES
INTRODUCTION Nenita S. Pastrano and Belinda J. Ignacio

TOPIC 1 PREPARATION OF FABRIC BEFORE CUTTING
At the end of this unit, you should be able to:
1.identify the methods for straightening, soaking and drying fabrics; and
2.understand the principles of pattern layout.

It is essential that you prepare all fabric before cutting it out in order to
achieve a better fit and a more professional look. Different fabrics will need
different care and the label on the fabric bolt will tell you whether the fabric is
washable, dry-cleanable, or if it will shrink.

Steps in preparing fabrics

A.Wash and dry the fabric
• The label should tell you whether the fabric has been preshrunk by the

manufacturer, or if it will shrink and how much it will shrink.
• If the fabric has not yet been preshrunk, and the label says it will shrink more

than 1% you should preshrink it before cutting.
• To preshrink washable fabric, simply wash and dry it in the same way you

would after the garment is finished.
• To preshrink dry-cleanable fabrics use a steam iron and move the iron

horizontally or vertically across the grain of the fabric.

to-clean-them/

B. Press the fabric
• To remove excessive wrinkles and creases, press on the wrong side of the

material in line with the threads.
• Iron horizontally or vertically across the grain of the fabric. Do not go over

diagonally because this will distort the fabric. After steaming the fabric,
allow it to dry on a smooth and flat surface until completely dry.

C. Check if the fabric is on grain
• The fabric may have been pulled off grain during production and need to be

straighten before you cut it.

Soaking and drying method
A. Soaking fabric – to immerse fabric in liquid for a period of time.
Ways to soak fabric
• Fold fabric wrong side out enough for the size of the basin.
• Fill basin with enough water to submerge the folded fabric.
• Push deep the fabric completely covered with water.
• Let the cloth soak. The length of time depends on the fabric;

Denim can be soaked for hours while wool, cotton, silk and linen for at least 30
minutes.

B. Drying fabric – a mass transfer process consisting of the removal of water or
another solvent by evaporation from a solid, semi-solid, or liquid.
Methods for Drying Fabric
1. Hydro – extraction by squeezing
• the fabric is squeezed by means of a padding machine

through 2 or 3 rollers covered with rubber.

TITLE PATTERN LAYOUT AND MARKINGS
INTRODUCTION
Laying out your pattern on the fabric to prepare for cutting is an important step
TOPIC 1 that must be done carefully and accurately for great-looking results.
Pattern layout is the laying of pattern pieces over the fabric in an economical
way. This prevents wastage of fabric.

Principles of pattern layout
1.Press the fabric as well as the pattern pieces flat before laying the pattern on
the fabric.
2. Use a large table or any hard flat surface for accommodating the work.
3. If an open layout is used, place the fabric right side up on the table. For all
other layouts fold the fabric right sides facing and wrong sides out.
4. Decide on the best way to fold your cloth this will depend on the width of the
cloth, width of your pattern pieces, the type of cloth and design of the garment .
5. Straight grain lines on patterns must be kept parallel to the fabric selvedge. To
ensure this, measure and adjust the pattern so that both ends of the straight grain
line are the same distance from the selvedge and pin the pattern to the fabric
along the grain line arrows.
6. Fold lines on the patterns must be kept on folded edges of fabric.
7. Leave enough space between patterns for cutting outward notches and
marking seam allowance (if the patterns do not include seam allowances). Also
make sure that there is enough material left for cutting out belts, facings, etc. for
which you may not have made paper patterns.
8. The patterns must be placed on the fabric in the most economical way.
9. Pin patterns to the fabric firmly, after placement of the pattern has been
decided, pin the corners and the long outside edges of the patterns, placing pins
close to and approximately perpendicular to the cutting line. Use just enough pins
to keep the pattern in position. Too many pins will distort the edges. You should
start cutting the fabric only after pinning all the pattern pieces.
10.Take care to use special layouts for asymmetric designs and for fabrics with
bold designs, striped and checked designs, designs going in one direction and
fabrics with nap and pile.

Different folds of fabric
1. Lengthwise fold is the easiest layout to work with the fold runs parallel to
the selvedge in the direction of the lengthwise threads.This is the most
frequently used fold. The layout for a simple frock on this type of fold is
illustrated in the figure.

2. Crosswise fold the fabric is spread open and then refolded on a line at
right angles to the selvedge and the direction of the crosswise
threads.This is suitable for materials that are too narrow to accommodate
the width of pattern pieces when folded lengthwise.

Techniques in Cutting Fabric
1. Do not lift fabric off the table.
2. Keep one blade of the shears resting on the table.
3. Use long slashes with the cutting scissors in preference to short, choppy ones.
4. Never use pinking shears for cutting out a garment, for they are difficult to
handle and there is a danger of inaccuracy with such bulky scissors.
5. Cut exactly along the cutting line on the altered pattern line.
6. Curves are especially important, so cut them with great care.
7. When all pieces have been cut, fold them over a hanger to prevent wrinkling
and to save pressing.
8. Cut notches away from seam line. Notches help to watch garment sections
during construction.
9. Leave pattern pinned to fabric sections.
10 Cut the garment parts from wide to narrow areas of each pattern piece.
