Basic Pattern Drafting.

Hello JSS 2 pupils, welcome to the topic on Basic Pattern Drafting. Today, we will be talking about the process of creating a basic pattern for a garment using a few simple steps.

A pattern is like a blueprint for a garment. It shows the shape and size of the different pieces of fabric that need to be cut out and sewn together to create the final garment. Here are some basic steps to follow when drafting a pattern:

1. Take accurate measurements: The first step in drafting a pattern is to take accurate measurements of the person who will be wearing the garment. This is important because the pattern needs to be customized to fit the person’s specific body shape and size. Some common measurements that are taken include the bust, waist, hip, and length measurements.
2. Create a basic bodice block: The next step is to create a basic bodice block, which is a basic template for the upper part of the garment. This is usually done using a flat pattern drafting method, which involves drawing the shape of the bodice onto a piece of paper or cardboard.
3. Make adjustments to the bodice block: Once the basic bodice block has been created, it may need to be adjusted to fit the person’s specific measurements. This can be done by adding or removing fabric in certain areas, such as the bust or waist.
4. Create a sleeve block: If the garment will have sleeves, a sleeve block will need to be created as well. This is done using a similar flat pattern drafting method as the bodice block.
5. Combine the blocks: Once the bodice and sleeve blocks have been created and adjusted as needed, they can be combined to create the final pattern for the garment. This will involve cutting out the shapes for each piece of the garment from the paper or cardboard and then tracing them onto fabric to be cut out and sewn together.

Here are some examples of basic patterns that can be created using these steps:

1. A basic shift dress: This can be made by creating a basic bodice block and then extending it down to the desired length of the dress. Sleeves can be added if desired.
2. A basic skirt: This can be made by creating a basic waistband block and then extending it down to the desired length of the skirt.
3. A basic shirt: This can be made by creating a basic bodice block and then adding a collar, cuffs, and buttons.

Remember, these are just basic examples, and there are many variations and styles of garments that can be created using pattern drafting techniques. With practice and experience, you can learn to create your own unique patterns and designs

Family resources & decision making.

First, let’s talk about what we mean by family resources. Family resources are the things that families have that they can use to meet their needs and wants. These resources can include things like money, time, energy, skills, and knowledge.

For example, if a family has a lot of money, they may be able to buy a larger house or take vacations more often. If a family has a lot of time, they may be able to volunteer at their child’s school or take care of an elderly family member. If a family has a lot of skills and knowledge, they may be able to fix things around the house or grow their own food in a garden.

Now let’s talk about how families use their resources to make decisions. When families make decisions, they have to consider how they will use their resources to achieve their goals. For example, if a family wants to save money for a vacation, they may decide to eat out less often and cook more meals at home. If a family wants to spend more time together, they may decide to limit their children’s extracurricular activities so they can have more family time.

In addition, families also have to consider the trade-offs of their decisions. Trade-offs are the things that families give up when they make a certain decision. For example, if a family decides to buy a new car, they may have to give up going on a vacation that year because they don’t have enough money for both.

Family resources and decision making are important topics because they help us understand how families use what they have to achieve their goals and make important decisions. Remember, when families make decisions, they have to consider how they will use their resources and the trade-offs of their decisions. By doing this, families can make informed decisions that help them achieve their goals and live happy and fulfilling lives

Food nutrients.

MEANING OF SOME CLASSES OF FOOD

 

Food nutrients refer to the different types of substances that are present in food and are essential for the growth, development, and maintenance of the human body. Nutrients are classified into six broad categories: carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, minerals, and water.

1. Carbohydrates: Carbohydrates are one of the most important nutrients that the body needs. They are the main source of energy for the body and are found in foods such as bread, rice, pasta, fruits, and vegetables.
2. Proteins: Proteins are essential for the growth and repair of the body’s tissues. They are found in foods such as meat, fish, eggs, beans, and nuts.
3. Fats: Fats are an important source of energy and help the body absorb vitamins. They are found in foods such as meat, dairy products, oils, and nuts.
4. Vitamins: Vitamins are essential for the proper functioning of the body. They help the body grow, develop, and stay healthy. Vitamins are found in foods such as fruits, vegetables, dairy products, and meat.
5. Minerals: Minerals are essential for maintaining healthy bones, teeth, and muscles. They are found in foods such as meat, dairy products, fruits, and vegetables.
6. Water: Water is essential for the body as it helps to regulate body temperature, carry nutrients to the cells, and remove waste from the body. It is found in foods such as fruits and vegetables, and is also consumed as a beverage.

Consuming a balanced diet that contains all of these nutrients in the right amounts is essential for maintaining good health. A diet that is lacking in any of these nutrients can lead to various health problems. For example, a diet that is low in carbohydrates can cause fatigue and weakness, while a diet that is low in protein can lead to muscle wasting and weakness.

In addition to consuming a balanced diet, it is also important to avoid consuming too much of certain nutrients, such as saturated fats, sugar, and salt. Consuming too much of these nutrients can lead to health problems such as obesity, high blood pressure, and heart disease

Edge finisher

An edge finisher is a tool used to trim and finish the edges of fabric or leather. It is used to give a clean, professional-looking edge to the material and prevent it from fraying. There are different types of edge finishers available, such as handheld or tabletop models.

The process of using an edge finisher involves:

1. Trimming the edge of the fabric or leather to the desired length.
2. Feeding the edge of the material into the edge finisher.
3. Running the edge finisher along the length of the material to trim and finish the edge.

Some edge finishers are designed to apply a binding tape or bias binding to the edge of the fabric or leather. This can be useful for creating a neat, decorative edge.

Edge finishers can be used on a variety of materials, including cotton, polyester, silk, leather, and vinyl. They are commonly used in the manufacturing of clothing, bags, and accessories.

It is important to choose the right type of edge finisher for the material being used. Different materials may require different types of blades or settings to achieve the desired finish. It is also important to follow the manufacturer’s instructions and safety guidelines when using an edge finisher.

An edge finisher is a useful tool for anyone who works with fabric or leather and wants to achieve a clean, professional-looking edge. With the right technique and equipment, anyone can use an edge finisher to create high-quality finished products
