the raw cotton. Cotton is the most widely used fabric and is the basis of over 30 types of textiles.

2. Silk. A natural filament fiber produced by the silkworm in the construction of its cocoon: Most

silk is collected from cultivated worms; Tussah silk., or wild silk, is a thicker, shorter fiber produced

by worms in their natural habitat. All silk comes from Asia, primarily China.

3. Satin. With a lustrous, shiny surface, drapability depends on fiber content. Silk and rayon satins

have the best stitch resulis.

LEARNING CONTENT

Classification of Sewing Tools and Equipment

A. Measuring/Drafting Tools

These tools are required for measuring the fabric or in making a pattern to construct specific

dress you need. The tools have different uses that will help you to case your works, it is important

used the right tool for the right job to. Proper use and maintenance of these deviceswill produced

worthy output.

1. Tape Measure
A flexible measuring device used in taking body

measurements. The front has the measurement of 150 centimeters

and 60 inches on the other side. Fiberglass tape is commonly

used by dressmakers.

2. Sewing Gauge

A small ruler with a sliding guides and is about six inches

long. This gauge is used for measurements at hem lines, button

holes and areas where other small measurements require

checking. such as pleats and tucks,

3. Rule

Rule is measure of 12 inches or even 18 inches, either

clear or solid. It is useful tool to have for measuring and drawing

straight seam lines and cutting lines.

4. Yardstick/Meter stick

A yardstick is made of smooth, shellacked hardwood or

metal. It is used for marking hemlines and checking grain lines

when laying out the pattern

5. L-square

The tailor square or "L" is use t transfer measurement to

the draft pattern. It also divides the garment into the desired

measurement. It has perfect squares and is useful in making

Straight lines and numbers. It can function as a tape.

It has two arms connected perpendicularly.

The longer arm is twenty-four (24) inches long.

The shorter arm is fourteen (14) inches long

6. French Curve

This is used to shape the depth of the neck hole and

armhole of the pattern.

7. Hip Curved

This is used to shape the curve edges in drafting pattern.

B. Cutting Tools

Cutting tools are tools used in cutting fabrics and serve well if properly maintained. Sharp

cutting tools make clean cuts und well-defined notches and they do not damage fabric. On the other

hand, dull tools slow the cutting process, and make your hand and wrist tire easily. Sewing cutting

tool should not be used for other household task. Cutting tools must be sharpened regularly and the

joints are oiled occasionally for better use.

1. Bent-handled dressmaker's shears

These are made of quality steel and hold a sharp cutting

edge. The blades move easily and cut smoothly along the entire

length and the points should come together. Shears have the

length 7-12 inches and are satisfactory for most apparel fabrics.

2. Pinking Shears

This is popular in zigzagging or scalloped edge or for

seam finishes. This is used to finished seams and raw edges and to

create decorative edges on many types of fabric. It cuts a ravel-

resistant edge. This is not for straight cutting.

3. Cutting Scissors

a. Trimming scissor

It is 3-4 inches long. It is used for trimmings, clipping

threads and snipping threads.

b. Buttonhole scissor

This is intended for making buttonholes.

4. Thread Clippers

Thread clippers are a handy little spring loaded cutting tool

that allows for the snipping of threads. These clippers are

specially used to snip threads and they are not designed to cut

fabric,

5. Seam Ripper

Seam rippers are specially designed for ripping out stitches

from seams, either as a result of an error or during alterations.

They should be used carefully to prevent damage to the fabric.

C. Marking Tools and supplies

These tools are required for transferring pattern markings to garment fabric pieces and
formaking alterations on garments.

1. Dressmaker Pencil

This is available in white or pastel shades. This chalk

pencil is used to make fine lines on fabric. It has an erasing brush at the end

2.Tailor's Chalk

This is essential as a marker for use on materials.

Tailor's chalk is available in a range of colors and is removed by

brushing.

3. Tracing wheel

There are two types of tracing wheels, those with a

serrated edge and those with a smooth edge. The serrated edge

wheel produces dots on the fabric and is suitable for most types

of fabrics. The smooth edge wheel is best for delicate fabrics

and unlike the serrated edge will not pierce more delicate

fabrics. The smooth edge wheel creates a solid line.

4. Dressmaker's Carbon Paper

Dressmaker's carbon paper also called dressmaker's tracing

paper is a specially waxed carbon paper that transfers the

tracing wheel marking on the fabric. A color of tracing

paper should be chosen that is close to the color of the

fabric.

D. Sewing / Pinning Tools

Sewing tools are essential in making a dress. A well organized and proper use of these

required safety measure to avoid accident. It is easy to sew a garment if these materials are
manipulated effectively.

1. Pincushion

A pincushion holds the straight pins and needles while

working to prevent accidents

2. Pins

Available in two kinds, one with colored head for easy

handling and the other with a small steel pins, both used to

fasten two or three materials together.

two parts. The handle and the wire. The end of the wire that is

away from the holder is folded. Place the folded wire of the

needle threader through the eye of the sewing needle.

5. Thimble

A small hard pitted cup worn for protection on

the finger that pushes the needle while sewing

E. Materials and Fasteners

Materials are the most important things used in making different kinds of garment, curtain,

pillow cases, any kinds of household decorations, personal belongings, accessories like bags,shoes

and others

Fastener is a thing that serves as closures to the placket. It can be attach hidden or expose to

serve as decoration.

Fabric

The Fabric is the cloth used in making garments. The

plain cotton fabrics, flour sack or captcha is the most

appropriate material for beginners' because these are

very easy to handle.

Thread

The thread is used in assembling or constructing the

parts of the garment. Threads vary in sizes. Heavy fabrics

need stronger threads

Buttons

Made of wood, plastic, or four metal or fabric covered this. A

flat button has two (2) or four (4) holes, this is attached to the

garment by cross stitching (4 holes), or by sewing right

through the hole.

Types of Sewing Machine

A sewing machine but foot alone or operated by electricity, If taken care properly, it can

create quality garments in a short period of time Sewing is fun. Anyone can sew for personal use,

TAKING BODY MEASUREMENT

Overview

Good fittings of any garments lies on how accurate the body measurements were taken. Taking body

measurement is the first step in constructing a garment, To take accurate measurements, ask the person

whose body measurement you are taking to stand straight, feet together, and stand still. Accurate

measurements should be recorded correctly. In the absence of a person, you can take his/her

measurement using a garment which has a perfect fit on him her. You will use the metric system in

taking body measurement. The following are the different body measurement

Objectives: At the end of this lesson , you must be able to:

1. Enumerate the different body measurement needed in pattern drafting

2. Observe safety precautions in taking body measurement.

3. Take body measurement correctly and accurately.

LEARNING CONTENT

Body Measurement

Body measurements are classified into three ways as follows:

A. Horizontal Measurement

These measurements are horizontally taken from left to right of the body, The

measurements are the following:

1. Shoulder- this is taken from one shoulder

joint passing across the shoulder blade to the

other shoulder joint.

3. Chest-this is taken across the chest between

the shoulder and armpit.

4. Apex distance this is taken from tip of the

bust to the other tip

5. Across Back -this is taken across the back

between the shoulder and armpit.

B. Circumferential Measurement

This measurement taken around the body.

1. Bust - this is taken around the fullest part of the

breast passing at the back bone. Insert your two

fingers and slowly rotate the tape measure to check if

measurement were taken accurately.

2. Waistline- this is taken around the fullest part of

the torso rotate the tape measure, Measurement

should not be too tight, not too loose.

3. Hipline-this is taken around the fullest part of the

hips, Check that it passes the biggest part of the

buttocks. slowly rotate to give allowance for the

movement of the person.

4. Armhole take the circumference around the

armhole loose enough to move the arms. It should be

loose enough for arm movement.

5. Arm girth-is taken around the fullest part of the

arm of the desired length of the sleeve. Give enough

allowance for easy movement of the arm.

6. Bottom measure - this is taken around the ankle

of the desired circumference.

C. Vertical Measurement

These measurements are taken vertically on the model's body.

1. Back Figure- this taken from the top base of the

neck down to the waistline of body. It is also called

waist length and figure.

2. Bust height- this is taken from the base of the

neck down to highest point of the bust. It is also

known as apex height.
