Throughout this lesson, the students will learn how to correctly take measurements to create a fitted garment. Students will begin with brainstorming measuring tools. Next, they will discuss fabric sizing as a class. Students will learn about the history of measurements and why it is important to take measurements. Individuals will team up in pairs to practice taking measurement. Finally, students will apply the measurements by comparing and contrasting them with a home-sew pattern. This lesson could be used before a student begins creating a garment for themselves, especially in Intro to Design or an Apparel Production & Construction course.

Throughout this project, the students will construct a pair of pajama pants. This project will take about seven days (50-minute class periods) for students to complete. Everyday, students will begin with setting up their sewing machines and setting goals for the day. Students will follow the written and video instructions to complete the project. At the end of each day, students will reflect upon what they accomplished and what they hope to improve upon for the following day. As there are written and video instructions, students can move through the project at their own pace. This project works well for middle school or as a project to refresh students on how to use the sewing machine and construction terminology in high school. (In my classroom, I give students the choice to complete the PJ Pants or the Pillowcase Project.)
