One of the greatest things about creating your own clothes is getting a personalized fit, and that starts with accurate
measurements. Make sure you have a good tape measure, straight pins, and a body-hugging outfit. It’s difficult to
take good measurements if you are wearing bulky clothing because the tape measure needs to wrap rather
snugly against your body (but not so tight that it’s uncomfortable or alters your size).
Having a friend help you is easier than taking your own measurements, but as long as you have a mirror you can
take them yourself. Make sure you stand naturally with your weight evenly distributed on both feet. And, when you
are taking width-wise measurements, make sure the measuring tape is parallel to the floor. A slight slant of the tape
can throw off the measurement and cause fitting problems later.
Prepare to take and record all the measurements described. Keep them in a safe place so you can refer to them
while drafting your designs. I have a notebook in my work area where my measurements live, so I can refer to them
for each new project.

Darts are triangular folds in fabric that allow a garment to better fit the body's curves. In patterns, darts are triangular or diamond shapes. Darts take in fullness at the fullest part of the body and taper to nothing at the ends. The size of a dart depends on the angle at the tip, with a larger angle indicating a larger dart. When moving or adjusting darts, the length, width, and size may change but the size should remain the same. Darts are essential for fitting garments to the body's shape.
This document discusses the usage of darts in patternmaking. It defines darts as triangular folds in fabric that are tapered at one or both ends to allow a garment to conform to the body's curves. Darts are represented as triangular or diamond shapes in patterns. There are different types of darts including waist, underarm, and shoulder darts. Darts are used to control fullness and fit fabric to the body's anatomy. The size of a dart is determined by its angle, while its length and width can change if the dart is moved to a new seamline. Pivoting points and folding of darts are also discussed.
This session seeks to enlighten the learner on what pattern is, its improtance and and ways of obtaining them. it also help you to identify the tools and materials needed for pattern making

Temple of Asclepius in Thrace. Excavation resultsKrassimira Luka
The temple and the sanctuary around were dedicated to Asklepios Zmidrenus. This name has been known since 1875 when an inscription dedicated to him was discovered in Rome. The inscription is dated in 227 AD and was left by soldiers originating from the city of Philippopolis (modern Plovdiv).
This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.
How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

3. BODY MEASUREMENT
Taking of body measurement is a skill that is acquired over time. The use
of the correct measurements is however very crucial to getting a good
block and garment that fits correctly. Accurate body measurements mark
the beginning to the making of well-fitted garments. Body
measurements are used for different purposes. For our purpose we are
going to use them for making patterns and during sewing.
4. Importance of Taking Accurate Body
Measurement
❑ It prevents wastage of fabric. Your body measurements can help determine
the quantity of fabric needed for making a particular garment.
❑It can be used to purchase already made garment. Besides good fitting,
personal measurements are required for buying readymade garments and
commercial patterns.
5. CTND.
❑Correct measurements can also contribute towards saving time and energy in
constructing a garment. The measurements taken will guide you to cut what
you want with ease without imagining or thinking through how big or small the
garment will be for a particular person.
❑It helps to make garment that fits the wearer. Taking your body
measurements guide you to use the exact measurements you want to achieve a
perfect fit.
6. Points to Consider When Taking Measurement
❑A good quality measuring tape should be used for taking the body measurement.
❑Persons giving the measurement should stand upright, but in a natural pose and
preferably in front of a mirror.
❑ A well fitted foundation garments should be worn while giving measurements.
❑Another person is needed to take the measurement.
❑Basic lines of the body are to be taken into consideration while measuring the body
parts.
7. CTND.
❑Before body measurements are taken, a cord or tape is fastened around the waist and
left until all measurements have been completed. The tape should be kept parallel to
the ground while taking girth measurement s like bust, waist, hip, etc.
❑The accuracy of several measurements depends on the exact waistline location. Add
to these measurements the suggested amount of ease.
❑The amount of ease needed varies with the type of fabric used. More ease is needed
for woven fabrics than knits.
8. CONT.
❑A proper order and certain sequence should be followed in taking the
measurements to make it more systematic.
9. Tools and equipment required for measuring
To enable you take accurate body measurements, you need certain tools. These tools are discussed below.
❑Tape measure: the tape measure should be clearly marked on both sides and have brass tips at both ends.
❑Mirror: a full-length mirror positioned behind the subject is useful for checking circumference
measurements that need to be parallel to the floor.
❑Measurement form /Book: a measurement form lists all the measurement required in the measuring
sequence for various part of the body.
❑Cord: the cord is to be tied around the waist to determine the natural waistline of the figure.
10. Body Parts Measurement Needed for Pattern Making

12. How to Take Measurements
Accurate body measurements are of vital importance for obtaining best results in garment
construction. Every individual has his/her own figure type. Since two people cannot have the
exact figure, it is necessary to study an individual’s figure carefully by taking body
measurements.
❑Bust; Place tape measure around the fullest part of the bust with the tape slightly raised at
the back, inserting two fingers under the tape measure for ease.
❑Waist; measure firmly where the body curves in at the waist or as desired by the client but
with fingers inside the tape to be sure it is not too tight.
13. How to Take Measurements (CTND)
❑Hip; measure around fullest part, the widest part of the lower body, approx. 21cm (7”- 9”) from the
waistline.
❑Hip depth: measure from waist to depth approximately 21cm from the waist.
❑Chest width or across chest; Measure across the chest from one hollow of the armhole to the other.
❑Back width or across back; Measure from armhole to armhole from the back. (where the arm joins)
❑Nape to waist: measure from the nape (the first back neck bone) down to the centre back to the natural
waistline.
14. ❑Shoulder length; measure from base of neck to shoulder bone.
❑Shoulder to waist; measure from the base of the neck down to the waist.
❑ Around arm; place the tape around the largest portion of the upper arm keeping
two fingers inside the tape for ease.
❑Dress length: measure from the shoulder to a desired length
❑Skirt length; measure the skirt length from the waist down to the required length
15. ❑Waist to floor: measure from waist to floor at the centre back and front to
check that the balance of the figure is even.
❑Sleeve length; place tape measure at the shoulder bone (arm socket) and
measure the required length.
❑Arm circumference/ Around arm: measure around the fullest part of the arm.
Keep two fingers inside the tape for ease.

20. Guidelines for taking measurement
❑Tie a cord around the client’s waist; this done to determine the natural waistline of the figure. It should not
be too tight and should not be applied to pregnant women.
❑Use well-marked tape measure.
❑Measure accurately. It should not be too tight or too loose. Taking body measurement is important in order
to have a well fitted garment and it must be accurate.
❑Take measurement over foundation garment.
❑Stand beside the client when measuring the bust to make sure the tape does not drop at the back or front of
the figure
❑Record each measurement as soon as it is taken.
