prepared your fabric, you are now ready to draft your pattern. The following are the steps on
how to draft the pattern of the different kinds of linens.
How to draft a pattern for a pillowcase
1. Measure your pillow at home. Get the length and width.
2. On your pattern paper, draw vertical line which is the width measurement and
horizontal line which is the length measurement.
3. Extend lines to form a rectangle.
4. Add 5/8 in. seam allowances along the three sides of the pattern and 2 inches on the
opening.
5. Cut the pattern.

3. Cut the pattern.
Types of fabric fold
1. Lengthwise fold. The fabric is folded in the middle, in such a way that the two
selvages meet at the edge and are together, opposite the fold.
2. Crosswise fold. The fabric is folded in the middle, but the two selvages are not
together, rather, the selvages are on the opposite side of the fold. In this fold, the two
raw edges meet at the edge and are together opposite the fold.
Tips in laying the pattern on the fabric
1. Determine which type of fabric fold you will use to maximize the use of the fabric.
2. Fold the fabric with the wrong side out and lay it on the table.
3. Make a trial placement of all the pattern pieces to economize the use of the fabric.
4. Pin all parts of the pattern on the cloth. Make sure the pins are placed at the right
angles to the edge of the pattern, one inch from the edge. About six inches apart for
straight edges. For curved edges, the pins should be nearer each other.
5. Avoid lifting the cold while putting the pins on their places. It might change the
position of the grain line.
Tips in cutting the fabric and transferring sewing linens
1. Cut the large pieces first.
2. Cut along the edges of the pattern.
3. Hold the fabric with your left hand. Do not hold the pattern and material up nor place
your hand under the fabric while cutting. This may stretch the fabric out of shape if
cut in this manner.
4. For long spaces, such as straight side seam, use long strokes.
5. For short spaces, curved spaces use short strokes.
6. With the use of a tracing wheel and dressmaker’s carbon paper so that all markings are
on the wrong side of the fabric.
7. Fold each piece together with the pattern until you are ready to work on it.
8. Before removing the pattern and the pin from the fabric, study each piece carefully so
you will know what part of the project it is and what you will do.
Steps in cutting the fabric for household linens

2. Lay and pin the pattern on the cloth.
3. Mark all stitching and folding lines.

1. Keep safe all sharp table and equipment before starting your work.
2. When working, do not leave the scissors blades open.
3. Do not hold scissors with sharp sides up, and do not use them when central fastener
is weakened.
4. When working closely observe the direction of cutting. Do not cut in motion.
5. When working hold the material with your left hand so that the fingers are away from
the blade.
6. Keep hazardous items and secure them from somebody else’s use.
7. Dispose all sharp needles and pins in a special and safe jar.
8. Use the pin cushion for pins and needles.
9. Make sure floors are clear of any unnecessary items while working.
