Steps were set for easy delivering of teaching students through collection, identification of materials needed for construction of textiles clothing such as, the design of the material to be sewn, tools needed ( needles, matching threads, type of opening, scissors, tape for body measurement),cutting of the material (fabric), sewing and displaying of the garment. The student's population for this study was one hundred and seventy three (173), there was no sampling because the population was manageable (NCE 1 students) divided into three groups and patterns were drafted on their various groups with teacher's guidance. Each step was snap using photographic camera so that subsequent set of students that will come will use the same steps projected with lecturer as a guide in teaching and learning. The result revealed that ICT such as computer and snap photographs were used in teaching and learning of clothing construction in F.C.E, (T) Gombe to improve learning in the area of the study. It was recommended that, there should be a computer projector in the clothing laboratory where students will be viewing the steps, starting from measurement up to construction stage with the help of the teacher to improve the formal way of teaching.
