Lesson Draft the Basic Block
1 Pattern for Ladies Skirt-
Fundamental Lines

Pattern Drafting is the process of creating a pattern by taking measurements from

a person, form or model, in order to then create a foundation, which is a pattern used a
bases for the design. I t has three steps measurement. pattern drawing and pattern set
creation. Once the measurement had been taken, the foundation and basic pattern is
created. Tis starts off with a wireframe which generally outlines the length and width of
the pattern piece, and then is gradually developed into one opt the pieces of pattern set.
This process can be done either by the use of manual or electronic pattern making tools.
When performed manually, the pattern is transcribed onto pattern paper and then pinned
o fabric. When performed using electronic means the pattern set is designed and then
printed onto the paper cut and pinned onto the fabric.

What’s New

Definition of Terms:

Patterns – is the template from which the part of the garment are
traced onto the fabric before being cutout or assembled.
Pattern drafting- is defined as a technique or method of drawing patterns
on brown paper with accuracy and precision-based on the body
measurements or standard measurement chart.
Project Plan – is a formal document designed to the control and execution
of a project. A project plan is the key to a successful project.
Pattern marking- is used to indicate how the pattern pieces sew together.
They can show how to distribute ease, create darts, where to gather and
even which p[art of the garment you are working with.

What is It

Drafting Basic/Block Pattern of the Skirt.

Patterns are carefully drafted to give accurate results. They serve as

valuable guide in laying, cutting and assembling the different parts during sewing.

Pattern drafting gives the dressmaker a blueprint of what a garment will look like.
It also serves as a guide for the dressmaker.

Two kinds of Patterns:

1. Foundation Pattern is a simple pattern which contains the exact body

measurements and reflects no definite style, It has five parts: back
blouse, front blouse, back skirt, front skirt, and sleeve. Each part has a
dart except the sleeve. This pattern serves as a basis for preparing the
style pattern.
2. Style Pattern- shows the style of the garment to be constructed. It
contains the necessary seam allowances that are found in the
finished garment.

In drafting the foundation pattern, the following materials should be ready:

1. Pattern paper (positioned on its lengthwise grain)
2. Pencil with eraser
3. Tape measure
4. Ruler
5. Hip guide
6. Scissors
;
To ensure quality output, dressmakers draft pattern before sewing.

Pattern Markings are universal symbols and lines designed to help the
sewer put the pattern pieces together quickly, easily and successfully. Every
marking is necessary for specific reason. Not every marking is on every pattern
because some are specific to a certain style or construction technique.
Construction markings are very helpful during the sewing process and
transferring them to the fabric is a must

Project Plan for Ladies’ Skirt

Project Planning is the underlying base behind every successful project.

This serves as a guide in making a quality and beautiful project. It should be well
structured and carefully drafted. It should contain the materials and tools to be
used, design and procedure in making the project and the criteria for evaluating
the finished output coupled with rubrics designed by the teacher and students.

Components of a Project Plan

1. Project Plan No. – reflects the number of projects

2. Date Started – date when the construction of the project will start.
3. Date Finished – the exact date when the project will be completed
4. Name of the Project – a specific description of the job/ project.
5. Objectives - states the purpose why a project should be done. This is usually
stated in three learning domains: the cognitive, psychomotor and affective.
6. Tools and Equipment – list of tools and equipment in the accomplishment of
the job
7. Materials and Supplies Needed – the itemized list of tools and supplies needed
to produce a project.
a. Quantity suggests the amount needed.
b. Unit is the unit of measure of the quantity.
c. Description refers to the features and characteristics of the materials
and supply needed.
d. Unit Cost is the selling price per quantity and unit of the materials
 e. Total Cost is the total amount needed per quantity of supply and
material needed.
f. Total is the over-all total cost of all the supplies and materials to be used.
8. Design Specifications – the photographic representation of the project in two to
five views: front, back, right, left and top views.
9. Procedure – the chronological steps or operations involved to accomplish
the project. This is divided into two stages:
a. Preparation stage – depicts the preparation to be done before the
actual execution or performance of the operations.
b. Performance stage – the actual procedures involve in the actual making of

the project where all tools, supplies, materials and equipment intended to make
the project ready.
10. Evaluation – the process of assessing the finished project with its
given criteria prepared during planning and evaluating.

Drafting the Fundamental Lines for the Skirt

A. The Skirt Pattern (front and back)

In drafting the skirt (front and back) pattern, locating the four major lines
will simplify your drafting activities.
Procedure
1. On your pattern paper, draw a perpendicular line T. Mark the midpoint as 1.
2. From 1, measure 1 cm down to get 2.
3. From 1, measure 1½ cm down to get
4. From 1, measure 18 cm to 25 cm
down to get 4.
5. From 2, apply the front skirt
length down tom get 5F
6. From 3, apply the back skirt
length down to get 5B.
7. Square 4 and 5B to the left.
8. Square 4 and 5F to the right.
