WHAT IS IT

Drafting patterns
of household linens is
as important as
drafting patterns for
clothing. They are
pieces of paper
patterns that when
placed together will
form a replica of the actual product.
In this lesson, you will be able to draft patterns for household linens and
sew creative and marketable household linens as means to augment the
family income.

Steps in Pattern Making

1. Start with a sketch, drawing, or photographic image of a linen product or
clothing scaled into the desired size you want.
2. Using correct measurements, scale the sketch or drawing on the pattern
paper. The linens and curves
determine how the article or clothing is broken down into sections.
3. Cut the patterns paper to achieve the actual shape and size of the different
parts of the product. We call these pattern pieces templates that can be used
in mass production.
4. Pattern can be modified on the original template to achieve the necessary
size you want. You can make it smaller or bigger by just decreasing or
increasing the scale.
5. Lay down the fabric flat on the table and position the different pattern
 Page 3 of 7

pieces. You must take note of the grain line or design of the cloth.
6. Pin the pattern on the cloth and start tracing.
7. Mark the needed allowances for sewing.
8. Cut the fabric on the lines for allowance.
9. Sew pieces together to form the shape or design wanted.

Sewing Creative and Marketable Household Linens

There are many commercially made household linens found in the market.
There are different types and colors. Bed linens, bath linens, and table linens
come in different sizes and designs. The following are some projects ideas
that you can start on:

NAPKIN PILLOWCASE
Materials:
One 20-inch cloth napkin sewing kit cord
12 or 14-inch square pillow button

Procedure:
1. Lay a 20-inch square cloth napkin face down, with one corner
pointing to your direction resembling a diamond.
2. Place in the center a 12 or 14-inch square pillow.
3. Fold in two side points of a napkin to the center, then fold up the bottom
point.
4. Hand stitch together all three ends.
5. Attach a button near the point where the three ends are stitched together.
6. Sew a loop or cord to the underside of the fabric on the top flap as a
button holder. Make sure that it fits
around the button when closed.

TABLE RUNNER
 Page 4 of 7

Materials:
1-yard decorative fabric Sewing machine
Matching thread Iron and ironing board
Sewing kit Tassels or any end-dangling accessory

Procedure:
1. Lay down your cloth on the table then fold it lengthwise with the wrong
side out. Pin all the edges together.
2. Using the pattern illustrated below, pin the pattern over the cloth and mark
all sides using a dressmaker’s
carbon underneath the folded cloth.
3. Mark ½ inch allowance all around the pattern. This is where you are going
to cut the cloth.
4. Remove the pattern from the cloth and sew around the marked area
leaving a 4-inch gap so that you can turn the runner right side out.
5. Snip the corners before turning the right side out.
6. Push out the corner using a pencil or knitting needle. Press the fabric to
flatten all the edges and corners.
7. Run a line of stitches around the edge of the runner. This will close the
inch gap left to turn the runner right side out and give it a much more
polished look.
8. Sew the tassels or accessories on both ends of the runner for accent.
