TOOLS AND
EQUIPMENT
 Objectives:

At the end of this lesson, 90% of the students will be

able to:
Classified sewing tools and the equipment needed for each of
the processes of sewing.
Give the uses of the sewing tools and the equipment.
 Measuring Tools
5 Basic sewing 1. Tape measure – a material that will
Tools: not stretch but has the flexibility to take
body measurement
• Measuring Tools
• Cutting Tools
• Marking Tools
2. Ruler – is needed for measuring curved
• Hand and Machine
edge, like the arms eye seams and
Sewing Tools neckline seams.
• Pressing Tools

3. Measuring Stick- is for marking

straight long lines.
4. L square- used for dividing
measurements and lines.
6. Sewing Gauge- metal ruler
with a sliding marker. It is
convenient for measuring hems,
buttonholes, and pleats.

5. Standard French Curve- used

for shaping the neck lines,
armholes and collars.
Cutting Tools
1. Scissors/Shears- scissors
have both handles of the
same size while shears have
one handle larger than the
other.
2. Seam ripper- it removes
stitches
3. Stitch ripper- used to cut
stitches
4. Pinking shears- used to
form fray-resistant edges.
Marking Tools
1. Dressmaker’s carbon -
Used for transferring pattern
markings to all types of
fabric
2. Tracing wheel- used with a
dressmaker’s carbon to
transfer pattern marking to
the wrong side of the fabric.
3. Tailor’s chalk- used for
transferring pattern markings
to the fabric.
4. Seam marker- used for
making seam allowances.
5. Dressmaker pencil- used
to make fine lines on
fabric. It has an erasing
brush at one end.
6. Liquid marking pen- is
used for marking. The mark
disappears after 48 hours.
 Stitching Tools and Accessories
1. Sewing machine- most
important piece of equipment
for stitching.
2. Needles- come in various
size, lengths, and point shapes
for different uses.
There are two general
classifications of needles,
namely, a.needles for sewing
machine stitching and
b.needles for hand stitching.
There are different kinds of hand needles, such as the following:

 Sharp needle- all-purpose

and medium- length needle.

 Crewel needle- is sharp and

of medium length used for
embroidery.

 Milliner or Straw- used for

long basting. They are long
with rounded eyes.
 3. Pins – are available in various
thicknesses, lengths and are made of brass, stainless steel or nickel-plated steels.
There are different kinds of pins, such as:
 Dressmaker’s pins which are 1 ½ inches (2.6 cm) long and are used for general sewing.
 Lace pins, or pleating pins which are 1 inch (2.5 cm) long are used for pinning delicate fabrics
to indicate seam allowance.
 Glass headed pins which have a colored ball heads, are easy to handle but are generally
expensive.
4. Thimble- used to protect the middle finger as you do hand sewing.
5. Pin cushion – used to store pins safely.
6. Emery bag/pack- has an abrasive material inside to clean and sharpen needles and
pins.
7. Needle threader- makes the threading of hand and machine needles easier.
8. Thread – should be of high quality. The color of the thread should be the same as
that of the fabric.
9. Bee wax- makes the thread stronger and prevents tangling for hand sewing.
Needle threader
1. Place the Wire Through the Eye of the Needle.
2. Place the Thread in the Wire.
3. Pull the Thread Through the Eye of the Needle.
Pressing Tools
 isthe secret to a perfectly finished garment. The essential
pressing tools are a sturdy ironing board, a steam iron and
pressing cloth.
Developing Mastery
Class Activity:

This is a group activity. Each group has time to

participate. The members of the group will fall in line in
front of the class.
Game: Sewing tools are placed in a box and laid in
assortment. Students will place the tools accordingly in
measuring tools, cutting tools, marking tools,
stitching/sewing tools and pressing tools. The fastest
group with the most number of correct tools placed in
the appropriate boxes wins.
 Class Activity:
Graded recitation: Sewing tools are placed
all together in a box and laid in assortment.
Each student in a participating group will be
blindfolded. A student will get a tool and
describe the uses and functions of the tool
taken from the box. Then, the student will
place the tool in the appropriate box.
*Remember to limit your time during the activity.
 Application in Daily Living:
Sewing is enjoyable and
fun, especially when it is
done using the appropriate
tools for the job. It can be a
productive hobby and also a
profitable livelihood.

project plan of a
two-toned standard
pillowcase to the
class for critiquing.
Applications in Daily Living:

Designing a project plan for

sewing two-toned standard
pillowcase will not only develop
the skills in careful planning for a
project, but also help us become
quality conscious in any project
we intend to engage ourselves in.
Generalization:

The primary use of the

project plan is to document
planning assumptions and
decisions, project design,
marketability and profitability.
Evaluation:
