Concetti Chiave
- Block preparation involves creating bodice and skirt blocks on paper as a foundation for garment making.
- Seam allowances are added to the pattern, generally 2cm, except at the centre front which is on the fold.
- The fabric is folded with right sides together before placing and cutting the pattern along the fold.
- The garment assembly starts by aligning the front and back pieces, matching notches, and securing with pins.
- Finishing touches include binding armholes and necklines, sewing seams, and pressing the garment for a polished look.
What is Block Preparation?
It is fundamental to create bodice blocks and skirt blocks before making a simple garment.
1. Place the front bodice and skirt blocks on brown paper. Let the centrefront be on a straight line. Close dart for skirt.
2. Draw round the blocks the pattern you need.
3. Add about 2,5cm to the armhole edge, 5cm to the waistline and 7,4cm to the hemline at the sides then join.
4. Remove about 2,5cm from shoulder line and drop the neck edge about 5cm, make a deep curve for neckline opening.
5. Put in the notches. Make a slit opening for the back neckline.
6.
Adding the Seams
Add seam allowance to the pattern. Make the seam allowance 2cm around the pattern except at the centre front (which is on the fold).
7. Cut out the pattern and follow the same procedure to prepare the back pattern.
Laying of pattern and cutting out:
1. Straighten the fabric.
2. Fold the fabric into two with right sides together.
3. Place pattern along the fold of the fabric.
4. Pint the pattern and cut out.
5. Transfer all pattern making to the fabric using tailor's tacks.
6 finish the neckline and armholes with bias or crossway strip.
Making up:
Assembly of the Garment
- place the front and back garment pieces together with right sides facing.
- match the notches.
- pin the shoulder seams and the side seams.
- tack along the pinned seams and remove pins.
- fit the garment, make necessary corrections where required.
- sew permanently using machine stitch of backstitch.
- finish the seams and finish the slit.
- bind the armhole and necklines neatly (finish or neaten with crossway stripes).
- finish the hem and later press the garment.
