- Apply knife pleats when making school uniform skirts and formal wear

In groups, learners are guided to:
- Watch video clips or demonstrations on working knife pleats
- Mark pleat lines on fabric (fold line and placement line)
- Fold fabric along fold line and bring to placement line
- Press pleats in place
- Tack to hold and stitch across top
- Mount sample in folder

How do knife pleats create a neat, uniform appearance on skirts?

Management of Fullness - Double pointed darts
Management of Fullness - Tucks
Management of Fullness - Elastic

By the end of the lesson, the learner should be able to:
- Explain the characteristics of double pointed darts
- Make double pointed darts following correct procedure
- Use double pointed darts on fitted dresses and one-piece garments for shaping at the waist

In groups, learners are guided to:
- Watch video clips or demonstrations on working double pointed darts
- Mark dart lines on fabric
- Fold fabric with right sides together matching dart lines
- Pin and tack
- Stitch from centre (widest point) tapering to each point
- Clip at centre and press
- Mount sample in folder

When are double pointed darts used instead of single pointed darts?

Management of Fullness - Easing
Management of Fullness - Evaluating qualities

By the end of the lesson, the learner should be able to:
- Explain the purpose of easing in garment construction
- Demonstrate easing technique to join unequal fabric pieces
- Apply easing when setting in sleeves and attaching collars for smooth fit

In groups, learners are guided to:
- Watch video clips or demonstrations on easing technique
- Work small gathering stitches along longer fabric piece
- Gently pull thread to reduce fullness without visible gathers
- Pin eased piece to shorter piece matching edges
- Stitch and press
- Mount sample in folder

How does easing differ from gathering?

Management of Fullness - Simple garment or household article

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
- Finish and press garment
- Display completed project

How can knowledge of clothing construction processes be applied to make functional garments?
