knowledge of the learner. It elicits tentative responses to provocative and critical
questions essential to the development of understanding.
Make sure learners are engaged in doing given activities and give assistance
to the students where needed.
B. Process
In this phase, learners are provided with various learning activities to
develop, demonstrate, and have hands-on experiences on the lesson. Through this
process, learners opportunities to apply the knowledge and skills is evident and
proven.
D. Transfer
In this part, learners are expected to demonstrate or show a completed
product or performance as an output required for the lesson.
Give your learners the opportunity to transfer what was learned in another
activity or in real life situation. Ideally, this should be a performance test, what you
usually call practical test.
Do not hesitate to use ways of determining how your students can apply
learned facts and concepts which are more authentic and realistic than those given
in the learners material.
II. OBJECTIVES

Fibers are typically 1/2 inch to 2 inches long. The longest staple fibers, longer than 1
1/2 inch, including the Pima and Egyptian varieties, produce the highest quality
cotton fabrics.
Dart- A stitched fold in the fabric that tapers from a seam to point to the fullest part of

may be bigger than the same size in a different brand. The larger cut may be said to
be a full cut.
Gathers- A series of small tucks of fabric, controlled and held in place by stitches
and providing visible fullness.
Grain - As an element of fit, refers to the need for lengthwise yarns to run parallel to
the length of the body (a) at center front and back, (b) down the center of the arm
from shoulder to elbow, and (c) down the center front of each pant leg; the crosswise
yarns should run perpendicular to the length of the body at bust/chest, hip, and

have grommets surrounding the belt hole.
In-Seam Pocket- Pocket that is set into a seam of the garment, usually the side
seam of skirts, pants, dresses, and coats.
Interfacing- Supporting fabric usually hidden between the garment and its facing.
Lends body, shape and reinforcement to limited areas of the garment such as button
and buttonhole plackets, waistbands, collars, and cuffs.
Interlining - Support material used to stabilize and support areas of the garment.
Referred to as Interfacing in home and custom sewing.
Kimono Sleeve- Sleeve cut as one with the body of the garment. Traditionally
square in style.
Lapels Part of the garment that rolls or folds back above the front closure on both
sides; also called revers. Typically found on jackets and coats.
Lining - A fabric that is used to cover the inside of a garment to provide a finished
look. Generally, the lining is made of a smooth lustrous fabric.
Nap - A soft finish given to fabric where the fibers are raised or fuzzy by brushing.
This produces a soft feel to the surface.
Neck tape - An extra band of fabric material sewn over the seam between the body
and the collar of a garment for a more comfortable feel.
Notches- Small cuts (slits or wedges) made in the edges of garment pieces to aid in
correct assembly. On home-sewing patterns they are shown as dark triangles or
diamonds.
One-Way Design- A fabric with a design or motif that runs in a definite direction.
These fabrics are said to have nap and patterns pieces must be cut with the tops all
facing the same direction. A print with trees all growing in the same direction, for
example, is a one-way design.
Pad Stitching- Tiny stitches made through the interfacing that barely catch the
fashion fabric. Used to softly and subtly shape collars and lapels. Used in collars and
hand-tailored jackets.
Parallel- Extending in the same direction and at the same distance apart at every
point.
Patch Pocket- Pieces of fabric attached, like a patch, to the outside of the
garment. Also called "applied pocket."
Permeability - A textile characteristic which allows air, water, and water vapor to
penetrate and pass through it.
Pile- A plush or shaggy surface on a fabric resulting from loops or ends of yarn or
fiber projecting above or below the surface of the fabric. Fabric with pile has nap.
Placket- A finished opening in a garment section, e.g., at the cuff of a shirt or the
neckline of a golf shirt.
Pleat- Fold of fabric, folded back upon itself so that the pleat is comprised of three
layers; occurs vertically only. Pleats may be partially stitched or pressed down. Kinds
of pleats include: knife pleats, box pleats, inverted pleats, and accordion pleats.
Preshrink- To wash or dryclean the fabric, according to the care instructions, prior to
cutting out the pattern pieces to eliminate any potential shrinkage problems after
assembly
Ply - The number of single yarns used to create ply yarn. It may also refer to the
number of ply yarns used to make cord.
Poplin - This is usually a 50% polyester and 50% cotton fabric in a poplin weave.
Polyester - A synthetic fiber which is the most commonly used manufactured fiber
worldwide. The fiber-forming substance in polyester is any longchain, synthetic
polymer composed of at least 85% by weight of an ester of dihydric alcohol and
terephthalic acid.
Raglan sleeves - These are sleeves that are all cut from one piece from collar to
cuff.
Rise- A measurement from crotch level to the top of the waistband: Also called
crotch depth
Seam Allowance- Narrow width between the seam line and the raw edge of the
fabric. Seam allowances vary depending on where they occur on the garment and
the manufacturers' specifications. Home sewing patterns generally have a 5/8" seam
allowance except at hems. Commercial patterns generally use 1/4" to1/2" e
Seam Finish- Any technique used to neaten the edge of seams, prevent raveling,
and improve garment durability and appearance
Seam sealing - Here the stitch line of a garment is made sealed by the application
of seam tape or glue.
Selvages- The narrow, finished edges of the fabric along both lengthwise sides of all
uncut woven fabrics.
Shrinkage - This is the amount in size lost during the washing of cotton Most 100%

Tear strength - The force necessary to tear a fabric, measured by the force
necessary to start or continue a tear in a fabric.
Texturing - This is the method of blowing a jet of air on a fiber to give it a rough,
matte finish. This gives the fabric a feel of being thicker and heavier.
Topstitching- Visible, decorative stitching done on the outside of the garment; also
True Bias- Fabric direction that occurs at a 45-degree angle to the lengthwise and
crosswise grains of woven fabrics. Has the highest degree of stretch of any woven
fabric direction.
Tuck- A stitched fold of fabric. Decorative tucks are stitched on the right side of the
fabric. Tucks used to create shape are stitched on the inside to a designated point

Warp - The lengthwise yarn found in woven fabric. The warp is stronger as well as
denser than the weft yarns, (crosswise yarns).
Water repellent - Fabrics that have been treated with a finish which cause them to
shed water and resist water penetration, but are still air-permeable.
Water resistant - Fabric treated chemically to resist water or given a "wax- coating
treatment" to make it repellent.
Weft - The horizontal or crosswise threads that intersect the warp threads in woven
fabrics.
Yarn - A continuous strand of textile fibers created when a cluster of individual fibers
