Punjab PSEB Matric Cutting and Tailoring study plan
Punjab PSEB Matric Cutting and Tailoring · Give each week a clear focus.
8 weeks · About 7 hours per week
Pattern Drafting and Adaptation & Body Measurements and Size Charts
Identify and label the parts of a basic bodice, sleeve and skirt block so you can name each drafting line from memory
Draft a half-scale bodice front and back to your own measurements using a 1:4 scale ruler
Take and record the eight core body measurements on a partner and check each against a size chart
Explain how ease allowance differs between woven and knit garments and choose an ease value for a fitted bodice
Your checkpoint
A labelled half-scale bodice draft on graph paper with a written measurement sheet and ease notes for one garment.
Pattern Drafting and Adaptation & Hand Stitches and Seams
Adapt the bodice block into a princess-panel draft and mark all seam allowances correctly
Draft a set-in sleeve to match the armhole curve and verify the sleeve cap ease is within 2-3 cm
Practise plain, backstitch and overcasting on a seam sample and measure stitch length and tension
Compare a French seam and a flat-felled seam on the same fabric and record which suits lightweight versus heavy cloth
Your checkpoint
A drafted sleeve joined to the bodice block plus a stitched seam-sample card of four hand and two machine seams with written notes.
Machine Stitching and Construction & Cutting Techniques and Tools
Set up and thread the industrial or domestic machine, wind a bobbin and adjust upper and lower tension on scrap fabric
Sew and press a plain seam, a lapped seam and a bias-bound seam to a straightness tolerance of 2 mm
Cut a simple A-line skirt using pattern weights, shears and a notcher, following the grainline exactly
Identify and explain the use of ten cutting-room tools including pinking shears, tailor's chalk, awl and tracing wheel
Diagnose three common machine faults such as skipped stitches and puckering and state the correction for each
Your checkpoint
A cut and stitched A-line skirt with finished seams and a written fault-diagnosis table of three machine problems and fixes.
Body Measurements and Size Charts & Pattern Drafting and Adaptation
Build a personal size chart from fresh measurements and match yourself to the nearest commercial size
Grade a bodice block from one size to the next and check the grade rules for bust, waist and hip
Adapt the skirt block for an A-line flare and mark the slash-and-spread points
Fit a toile on a partner and record every pin mark as a numbered alteration note
Your checkpoint
A graded bodice block set for two sizes plus a fitted toile with a numbered alteration log.
Milestones
Week 4: You can draft, cut and sew a simple skirt from your own block without referring to a commercial pattern, and your toile fits with no more than three pinned corrections.
