- Discuss factors to consider when choosing methods of managing fullness (type of fabric, garment style, position on garment, desired effect, wearer's body shape)
- Watch video clips or demonstrations on working different methods
- Make class presentations
- Write notes on general rules to be observed

What factors influence the choice of method for managing fullness?

Management of Fullness - Box and inverted pleats
Management of Fullness - Gathers
Management of Fullness - Single pointed darts

By the end of the lesson, the learner should be able to:
- Explain the characteristics of box and inverted pleats
- Make box and inverted pleats following correct procedure

Management of Fullness - Elastic
Management of Fullness - Easing

By the end of the lesson, the learner should be able to:
- Explain the use of elastic in garment construction
- Apply elastic to create adjustable fullness
- Use elastic on waistbands, cuffs and children's clothes for comfort and easy dressing

In groups, learners are guided to:
- Watch video clips or demonstrations on applying elastic
- Create casing for elastic by folding and stitching fabric
- Thread elastic through casing using bodkin
- Adjust elastic to desired length
- Secure elastic ends by stitching
- Mount sample in folder

Management of Fullness - Evaluating qualities

By the end of the lesson, the learner should be able to:
- Describe qualities of well-made management of fullness
- Evaluate samples against quality standards
- Apply quality checks when making and buying garments with fullness features

In groups, learners are guided to:
- Peer-assess samples of management of fullness made
- Critique based on qualities (even distribution of fullness, secure stitching, appropriate method for fabric, neat appearance, correct positioning)
- Present critiques in class
- Discuss how to improve quality of work
- Practise safe disposal of fabric scraps

What qualities indicate well-executed management of fullness?

By the end of the lesson, the learner should be able to:
- Choose and construct a simple garment or household article
- Apply stitches, seams and management of fullness techniques learned
- Create a functional item such as a skirt, apron or reflective jacket for personal use

In groups, learners are guided to:
- Choose a simple garment or household article to construct (skirt, short, night dress, apron, reflective jacket)
- Plan design incorporating stitches, seams and management of fullness
- Cut out pattern pieces
- Apply appropriate stitches, seams and fullness techniques
