Discussion:
Sewing household linen are worthwhile hobby, encourages creativity but with the
application of basic knowledge and skills of sewing it can also be a means of livelihood or a way
to augment family income.
Sewing basic principles have the following advantages: it’s easier to find job and offer many
job opportunities here and abroad.
First step in acquiring the said principles are the knowledge on classification of basic
sewing tools with their uses as follows:
1. Measuring – tools used in taking measurements and jotting measures on fabrics and
patterns,
a. tape measure – a 60-inch measuring tool has a number on both sides, it is used
in taking body measurements
b. sewing gauge – are made of piece of cardboard use in measuring and making
hems and seam allowances uniform
c. Ruler/Yardstick/ meter stick – is used to measure fabric and to check grain line. It
can be used in marking a long straight lines and in measuring hem lengths
d. L-square - a tool useful in constructing perpendicular lines with divisional parts
located in longer and shorter arms
e. French curve - a tool used to smooth curved lines on patterns, typically at the
collar, armhole, and neckline areas
f. Curve ruler/Hip Curve - is used in connecting or shaping slightly curve points like
 waist and hip curves. It has a measure of inches at the front and centimeters at
the back part.
2. Cutting – refers to the tools used in trimming threads or cutting fabrics
a. Shears, the cutting tool with more than 6” tall, having a different handle sizes,
which is used mainly for cutting cloth.
b. scissors, a cutting tool with less than 6” tall and in the same handle sizes.
c. pinking shears, a cutting tool having same characteristics of an ordinary shears
but has a serrated blade, designed to prevent the raveling of cloth edges
d. thread cutter, a cutting tool primarily used for trimming short threads left on cloth.
3. Marking tools- tools used in leaving marks on the cloth or pattern
a. Tailor's Chalk - a thin piece of hard chalk used in tailoring for making temporary
marks on wrong side of fabrics.
b. Tracing Paper – a type of paper used to transfer markings from a pattern to cloth.
c. Tracing wheel - is a saw-toothed metal disk used to transfer markings from
patterns to fabric
4. Sewing tools- refers to the tools used in mending, sewing or uniting fabrics for the
safety of the sewer.
a. Needles – a sharp thin metal that are used for basting, sewing buttons on and
when mending torn clothes.
b. Threads - a material used to pass through the cloth together with the needle
c. Pin Cushion - a cotton-stuffed cloth used to keep the pins and needles in place.
d. Pins - used hold cloth together during cutting and sewing it also helps save time in
basting.
e. Thimble - made of either plastic or metal material w/c is used to protect the finger
from being pricked by the needle when sewing.
f. Emery Bag - used for thrusting needles and pins. They sharpen the needles and
removes rust.
All put together in a Sewing Box that serves as a utility box which kept all the tools
orderly

Chapter 1: Saring’s Dream
In Barangay Taboc, Danao City, there was a woman named Marie, who ambitioned to become a professional
dressmaker. But, poverty hinders her dream.
One day, Marie find ways to continue her passion. She purchased some cutting tools as a start.
She bought first the shears, the cutting tool with more than 6” tall, having a different handle sizes, which is used mainly for
cutting cloth. Then, she picked the scissors, a cutting tool with less than 6” tall and in the same handle sizes. She also
added the pinking shears, a cutting tool having same characteristics of an ordinary shears but has a serrated blade,
designed to prevent the raveling of cloth edges. Lastly, to complete her set, she got a thread cutter, a cutting tool primarily
used for trimming short threads left on cloth.

Chapter 2: Pursuing My Dreams

Saring, who wants to be dressmaker, decided to create a simple blouse. But, she found it difficult to achieve the
accurate measures, for she possessed only the cutting tools. So, she settled on buying the tools for taking measurements,
the measuring tools from the profit she earned from selling rags.
She went to the supermarket and started her moves. She picked the following materials: tape measure, yardstick,
ruler, gauge, curve ruler, L-square and a French curve. Tape measure a tool use in taking body measurements.
Yardstick/Meterstick- is used to measure fabric and to check grain line. It can be used in marking a long straight lines and
in measuring hem lengths. Ruler a tool used in connecting shorter lines, marked off in inches and centimeters. Gauge a
tool used for creating bias and hems uniform. Curve ruler/Hip Curve is used in connecting or shaping slightly curve points
like waist and hip curves. It has a measure of inches at the front and centimeters at the back part. L-square a tool useful in
constructing perpendicular lines with divisional parts located in longer and shorter arms. French curve a tool used to
smooth curved lines on patterns, typically at the collar, armhole, and neckline areas.
With the other tools she had in hands. Her dreams were now even clearer to success.

Chapter 3: Fulfilling My Dream

One day, Saring was on her way to the supermarket, she saw poster stating that the city is conducting a 3
months’ livelihood training and one of it is the Dressmaker’s Training.
Without any hesitation Marie enrolled herself to the city in-charge, to her surprise she received another set of tools
the sewing tools. The different colors of threads a material used to pass through the cloth together with the needle.
Needles that are used for basting, sewing buttons on and when mending torn clothes. Pin Cushion a cotton-stuffed cloth
used to keep the pins and needles in place. Pins used hold cloth together during cutting and sewing it also helps save time
in basting. Thimble made of either plastic or metal material w/c is used to protect the finger from being pricked by the
needle when sewing. Emery Bag used for thrusting needles and pins. They sharpen the needles and removes rust.
With a bonus marking tools such as Tailor's Chalk a thin piece of hard chalk used in tailoring for making temporary
alteration marks on clothing. Tracing Paper a type of paper used to transfer markings from a pattern to cloth and a tracing
wheel is an instrument with multiple serrated or smooth teeth on a wheel attached to a handle used to transfer markings
from patterns onto fabric with or without tracing paper. All in a Sewing Box that serves as a utility box which kept all the
tools orderly. After months, she was an on the job trainee of Loalde Philippines and then hired as their regular worker.
Now as she reached her retirement she come to a realization that “Nothing is impossible for a persevere and
hardworking person”, for she’s not just a dressmaker but a professional dressmaker.
