What Is Dressmaking?
As its name suggests, it refers to the
assembly of specific types of dress, or clothing
items, particularly women’s clothing.
Dressmaking is an age-old profession
that dates back thousands of years. Some
historians would even argue that the history

like linen and silk, became the norm,
dressmaking as a career became very popular and commonplace. Many
dressmakers would cater mostly to wealthy aristocrats who, creating clothing
based on illustrations of the latest styles.
Good tools are important in sewing. Your

sewing machine and your sewing aids should be
selected as carefully as possible for good
performance and long-lasting satisfaction. We
know that appropriate tools make work easier.
This lesson will provide you knowledge
and skills in using sewing tools and equipment
correctly. To make the work light and easy, you
should have a complete set of sewing tools in your
sewing box and a friendly sewing machine located in
a sewing spot at home or at a sewing area of your

LESSON 2 Module No. 1 (Types of Sewing Machines)
LESSON PREVIEW
Sewing is the process of stitch formation involving needle and
thread. Sewing machines are textile machinery employed to stitch fabric or
other material together with thread. Sewing machines were invented during
the first industrial revolution to decrease the amount of manual sewing work
performed in clothing companies.
The task of a sewing machine is always to create stitches, either to

decorate the fabric or to hold multiple pieces of cloth together to create a
garment or accessory. The way that the sewing machine accomplishes this
task determines its classification. Some classes of sewing machines have been
developed to accomplish specific and narrow sets of stitches while others are
more general in their uses.
The Singer Sewing Machine Company was

established in the Philippines in 1882. Its
product, the sewing machine, became so popular
among the Filipino families that it had virtually
become a household fixture.
So simple to use and durable, which by 1912, over

250,000 units were sold by its 300 outlets, providing
employment to 1,500 Filipino workers.
