Learning Outcome 2: Taking Clients body measurements
Learning Objectives:
After reading this INFORMATION SHEET, YOU MUST be able to:
1. Identify different types of measuring tools and its uses.
2. Learn how to read the tape measure in English system
measurement.
Introduction:
Accurate measuring is the cornerstone of successful sewing, and a
few basic tools are all you need, as long as you use them often and with
precision. Take time at the beginning and periodically throughout the
project to measure. As the old adage goes…measure twice; cut once.
MEASURING TOOLS
Tape Measure
A flexible measuring device used in
taking body measurements.
The front has the measurement of 150
centimeters and 60 inches on the other side.
Fiberglass tape is commonly used by
dressmakers.
Sewing Gauge
A small ruler with a sliding guides and
is about six inches long. This gauge is used
for measurements at hem lines, button holes
and areas where other small measurements
require checking, such as pleats and tucks.
The gauge is usually made of metal or plastic.
Yardstick
A yardstick is made of smooth,
shellacked hardwood or metal. It is used for
marking hemlines and checking grain lines
when laying out the pattern.
L-square
The tailor square or "L" is used to
transfer measurements to the draft pattern. It
also divides the garment into the desired
measurement. It has perfect squares and is
useful in making straight lines and numbers.
It can also function as a tape measure. It has
two arms connected perpendicularly.
a. The longer arm is twenty-four (24) inches
long.
b. The shorter arm is fourteen (14) inches long.
French Curve
This is used to shape the depth of the neck
hole and armhole of the pattern.
3.Read 1 inch. The space from the largest mark to another is 1 inch.
2. Read one-half inch. Same principle as reading one inch, only this time
the space between the second-biggest mark and the biggest is read.
You can think of a half-inch mark as half way between a full inch.
1. Measure a length. Put the end of the measure at one end of the item
or space you want to measure. When the length stops, take a reading
on the tape measure.
2. Find the length. In order to determine the length, you must add the
lengths between inches together. For example, the image below has a
measurement that goes beyond the space between two inch marks
(that is, one full inch). In order to find the length, add the length of the
inch (1) with the space between the second inch mark and the third.
In this case, you’d add 1 inch + 1/4 inch to get 1¼ inch, or “one and a
quarter inches.
3. For a length less than 1 inch, simply read off the tape measure the
length. If the increments of an inch are not labeled, determine the
marking’s increment and add together the respective fractions.
4. As an example, the image below shows a length that goes from the
inch mark to an unlabeled marking. We know it’s more than 3/4 of an
inch and less than one full inch. The marking is half way between 3/4
(6/8) and 7/8. Therefore, the marking is half of 1/8, or 1/16. Taking
this knowledge, you simply add the known fractions to find the length.
Convert 3/4 to 12/16 for common denominators and add 12/16 +
1/16 to get 13/16 – that’s your length.
Note:
In making a pattern lay out, some measurements are being divided into 2.
