- A tape measure is used to take body and fabric measurements up to 60 inches with markings in both inches and centimeters.
- A yardstick or meterstick measures long lengths of fabric and checks grain lines, and can mark and measure hems.
- Pinking shears cut a zigzag edge and are used to finish hems, seams, etc. but not for cutting out patterns.

Yardstick/Meterstick- is use to measure fabric and to
check grain line. It can be used in marking a long straight lines and in measuring hem lengths.
Pinking Shears- cuts a zigzag edge and is used for
finishing hem edges, seams, etc. It should not be used for cutting out a garment b'coz it will not give an accurate cut line of the fabric. The Hip Curve is used in connecting or shaping slightly curve points.It has a measure of inches at the front and centimeters at the back part.
L-square - It is useful in constructing perpendicular
lines with divisional parts located in longer and shorter arms.
Pin Cushion- a cotton-stuffed cloth cut and sewn in
many different shapes to keep the pins in place. It will help you work conveniently when placed on your waist.
Pins- used when cutting and sewing material. Helps
save time in basting. Dull-pointed and rusted pins should not be used b'coz they will destroy the fabric.
Needles- comes in three sizes: small, medium and
large. Small needles are used on light and soft material, while big needles are for rough, thick and heavy materials. Needles are used for basting, sewing buttons on and when mending torn clothes.
Thimble- made of either plastic or metal material w/c
is used to protect the finger from being pricked by the needle when sewing. A fitted thimble will help you sew comfortably especially when you are not used in sewing with a thimble on your finger. https://phsclothingtech.weebly.com/sewing-tools-and-equipment.html
