Clothing Construction – Short Notes

1. Introduction

Clothing construction refers to the process of making garments from fabric. It involves taking measurements, choosing suitable materials, cutting fabric, and sewing pieces together to create finished clothing. Good clothing construction requires accuracy, skill, and understanding of sewing techniques to produce well-fitting and durable garments.

2. Importance of Clothing Construction

4. Taking Body Measurements

Use a flexible tape measure.

Measurements should be taken over fitting clothes.

Common measurements include: burst/chest, waist, hips, shoulder, sleeve length, dress length, and skirt length.

Accuracy is important for a good fit.

5. Selecting Fabric and Patterns

Choose fabric based on purpose, season, comfort, and durability.

Fabrics may be natural fibers (cotton, wool, silk) or synthetic fibers (polyester, nylon).

A pattern is a template used to cut fabric pieces accurately.

Choose a pattern suitable for your skill level and body measurement.

6. Cutting Out Fabric

Pin the pattern pieces onto the fabric.

Cut carefully following the gray line.

Leave space for seam allowance (usually 1–1.5 cm).

7. Sewing Techniques

Temporary stitches: Used to hold fabric in place (e.g., tacking/basting).

Permanent stitches: Used to join fabric permanently (e.g., running stitch, backstitch).

Machine stitches: Faster and stronger (e.g., straight stitch, zigzag stitch).

Press each seam after sewing for a neat finish.
