• Cut 1/4 inch from the upper
part of the sleeve pattern
and mark this section with
"F." This portion is
designated for the front
armhole of the blouse. The
front part of the sleeve
should then be recut.

• Spread to see the difference.

• Make two lines of running stitches and
draw the threads to ease the sleeve cap.

There are two kinds of Pockets:
• The Patch Pocket
• The Seam Pocket

The Patch Pocket
• attached at the right side of the garment. This
is found in blouses, polo shirts, jackets, pants,
dresses and skirts.

The Seam Pocket
• placed inside the garments.

Set-In Pockets
• ThE SIDE SEAM OR STRAIGHT POCKET

Set-In Pockets
• ThE SLIDE OR SLANTING POCKET

Set-In Pockets
• ThE CONTINENTAL POCKET

Standards for set-in pockets are as
follows:
1.The upper and lower facing is
indispensable.
2.the seamline is smooth and unbroken
at the pocket opening.
3.the pouch is flat and smooth.
4.the end opening is reinforced.

The Placket
• A placket is finished opening in front of a blouse, polo, shirt, and
even in long sleeves cuff opening. it is closed with fasteners.

Fastener- are devices used to close the openings of
garments and facilitate their wearing. These include
zippers, buttons, snaps, hook and eye and nylon
tapes.

The three basic types of zippers
are;
• CONVENTIONAL
• INVISIBLE
• SEPARATING

TWO TYPES OF
BUTTONS
• THE SHANK
• THE SEW-

THE SHANK- HAS A SOLID TOP AND IS
SEWED TO THE GARMENT INITS LOWER
PORTION.

THE SEW-THROUGH- HAS A HOLES TRHOUGH
WHICH THE BUTTON IS SEWED.

SEWING ON FASTENERS- Fasteners should be
supported with heavy cotton. For a large button
which will receive hard wear, fine thread is used. Use
over and under stitches and lock on the wrong sides
of the garment.
• An even line and accurate measuring save much
disappointment than a straight basting to work
the line where the center of the fastener will be,
then mark off with pins where each one will be
sewed.

HOOK AND EYES - To sew hook and
eyes, fasten the top of the hook with a
loop of thread to the edge of the
garment to hold it firmly in place.
Then pass the thread to one eyelet
and stitch securely to the second
eyelet and then come back tot he
edge. Sew the eye on the opposite
edge so that when the hook is caught
in it, the edges of the garment will
meet and fasten the dress.

SNAP FASTENER- are made in pairs and must be put on so they
mateh. To do this, separate them one at a time as you sew,
beginning at one end. Pin the fastener and mark accurately in
correct position. Sew through the four head holes with over and
under stitches. Close the joining and place a pin directly opposite,
where you will sew on the other half of the fastener. As you go on
sewing a second fastener watch the spacing for a good result.

Nylon tape is the newest of the fasterners. It is made
of two tape strips, one with a looped snap surface and
the other with a hooked snap. When press together,
the surface of the strips are fastened firmly until
pulled apart. This is sewn in the shoulder paddings of
dresses.

BUTTONHOLES - Buttonhole is where the button
passes through. It can be made by buttonholing
machine or handworked. Machine made buttonholes
are neatly and strongly made while handworked
buttonholes are carefully made by hands.
