Learning Objective:
After reading this information sheet, you must be able to:
1. Enumerate the elements and principles of design.
2. Gain knowledge on what are the elements and principles of design to
be consider in making your future projects.
Introduction:
In creating a design one of the components that interact is the element of
design. The element and principles of design are flexible and should be
interpreted within the context of current fashion. A design can be defined as an
arrangement of lines, shape, colors and texture that create a visual image. The
principles of design are the rates that govern how elements are combined. The
elements are therefore the raw materials that must be combined successfully.
Color
Color is the first element to which consumers respond, often selecting or
rejecting a garment because of its color appeal. Therefore, designers must
consider their customers and provide colors that are both appealing and
flattering. People connect certain colors with holidays and seasons. They expect
to see earth tones in fall clothing, jewel colors for the holidays, the pastels of
flowers in the early spring, and refreshing white for the summer. All
manufacturers include some of these colors in their lines
Fabric
Color is interpreted in the medium of the fabric. Fabrics are the designer’s
artistic medium, in that fashion design is essentially sculpture in fabric in
relation to the body.
Fabric selection
Is the selection or creation of an appropriate style for a fabric, or the reverse,
the selection of the right fabric for the design? Next to understanding the needs
of the customer and interpreting trends for them, choosing the fabric suitable
for a particular style is one of the most important aspects of designing. The
designer chooses fabrics on the basis of fashion trends, quality, performance,
price and suitability.

Learning Objective:
After reading this information sheet, you must be able to:
1. Learn the basic information on how to prepare the fabric before
cutting.
2. Discover some helpful tips in cutting of fabrics.
Introduction:
Properly prepping and cutting your fabric is the first step for sewing
garments that wear well. Cutting your pattern out accurately, and on the
straight of grain, is essential for seams that go together with ease, and
continue to hang well with wear. Learning how to cut fabric properly will result
in better sewing that starts before you even turn on your machine.
The basics:
Start by pre-washing your fabric according to the manufacturer’s
recommendations. Iron your fabric (if allowed) to make sure it’s flat and free of
wrinkles, and the selvage is pressed smooth. Be careful not to pull and stretch
the fabric out of shape as you iron it.
When you buy fabric off the bolt at a store, the selvages are approximately
lined up to create a fold. Now that your fabric has been washed and pre-cut,
you will have to reestablish the fold line on the correct grain. The grainline that
you will see most often when cutting out your pattern is the one that runs
parallel to the selvage.
To find this lengthwise grain of your fabric, line up the selvages with right sides
together. The raw edges cut from the fabric store will most likely not line up as
they did before washing. Make sure the selvages are even with each other for
the entire length of your fabric and there are no twists or wrinkles in the fold.
The fold line and the selvages should be parallel to each other, and the fabric
should lie perfectly smooth and flat in between them.

Learning Objectives: After reading this information sheet, you must be able
to:
1. Know the construction of fabrics.
2. Understand the different methods of cutting fabrics for sewing.
Introduction:
There are many different methods of cutting fabrics for sewing. While we each
have a favorite method, it is extremely important to be aware of all of the
techniques and their special applications. Custom work means adapting to
different patterns, designs and fabrics. This adaptability must extend to the
very first step of the fabrication process, cutting the fabric.
Before we can discuss cutting techniques, it is important to understand the
construction of fabrics. We rarely deal with knit or stretchy fabrics, so the
primary focus here will be on woven fabrics. The process of weaving involves
stretching the warp threads, the vertical threads, tight. The weft or woof are
the filling threads which run horizontally and are used to bind the warp
threads on the ends to create the selvage. The warp and weft lines of the fabric
are referred to as grain lines or straight of grain.
The techniques for cutting fabric listed below begin with cutting following the
straight of grain. This is always the best method to follow whenever possible
because the fabrics themselves try to revert to straight of grain when hanging.
However, subsequent techniques help you adapt to patterns on the fabric
which are printed off square.
Cutting Techniques:
Straight of Grain.
This process involves cutting the fabric following the weft thread
horizontally across the width of the fabric. Ideally, all square cuts should follow
the straight of grain. This eliminates ripples and sagging in the finished
product and the entire fabrication process is easier because of your confidence
that the fabric is square. There are five techniques to use:

Sighting. If the weft thread is large enough, you can often cut the width
just by following the thread with your eyes.
Pulling threads. Snip thru the selvage. Loosen a piece of the weft thread
and gently pull on it. Depending on how loosely the fabric is woven and how
strong the weft thread is, you may be able to pull anywhere from two inches
to most of the width of the fabric. As the thread is pulled, it will cause a
puckering effect along the weft line.

When all other methods fail, this one is very effective for cutting fabrics.
Fold the fabric in half lengthwise, aligning the two selvage edges. Smooth
flat. Fold the end of the fabric up about 10-12 inches, keeping selvages and
side fold line aligned. With all sides aligned the bottom fold line is now a
straight line.

Steps/Procedure:
1. Place your fabric on the cutting table.
2. Measure the pattern pieces at strategic points such as bust, waist and hips.
2. Align the pattern piece on your fabric as usual, being sure to align the
grainline. Hold the pattern piece in place with pins placed inside the pattern
piece, a few inches away from the size you are tracing.
3. Choose a carbon paper color that contrasts your fabric, so that you will be
able to see the lines you trace. Slip the carbon paper, color side down, under
the pattern piece.
4. Roll your tracing wheel along the pattern piece, rolling it along the line for
your size. If you’re working with a larger pattern piece, you’ll need to maneuver
the carbon paper around the edges, working one section at a time.
5. Trace the pattern markings, like notches and darts. You may have to move
the pins around a bit to get to any markings that go into the center of the
pattern piece.
6. Remove your pins. You should now have a nice outline of your pattern piece
right on the fabric.
7. Cut the fabric with proper alignment.

3. Fold your fabric in half, selvedge to selvedge which is the neat edge of the
fabric. Where the instructions say to place the paper pattern on the fold of the
fabric, place the paper section right up against the fold and pin in place.
4. When laying out the next pattern piece there’s a line called the grain line,
which has to run parallel with the grain of the fabric. To make sure the paper
pattern is in the right position, use a tape measure to measure that the line is
the same distance from the fold of the fabric all the way along.
5. To transfer the pattern notches to your fabric, mark the notches by cutting
an extra section out of the fabric to avoid snipping into your seam allowance.
For double notches, cut a wider one rather than two so it’s easily recognizable.
