Introduction
MATERIALS
Fabric - It is the cloth used in making garments. The plain cotton
fabrics, flour sack/catcha is the most appropriate material for
beginners because these are very easy to handle.
Thread - is used in assembling or constructing the parts of the
garment. Threads vary in sizes. Heavy fabrics need stronger
4
threads. Threads should have the same color with that of the
fabric used.

To measure your waist, find the smallest part of your torso which is
right underneath your rib cage and near your belly button. Do not
measure where your pants finish -that is not your natural waist. Make
sure the tape is even across the front and back and parallel to the
floor.
To measure the hips, find the largest part of your hip area. Keep this
in mind: it is not where the top of your hip bone is.
3. FRONT WAIST LENGTH
Start measuring from the side base of your neck, at the top shoulder
line, and going down towards your waist level passing over your bust
point. Try to keep the tape as straight as possible.
To measure bust depth, use the same starting point on the shoulder
as your front waist length, measuring down to the apex of your bust
point.
4. BACK WAIST LENGTH
This one is a two-person job, so have someone to measure from the

Introduction
Cleaning and oiling your sewing machine are basic ways to avoid bits
of lint, thread, dust, and even fabric to get stuck in your machine. If you sew
regularly using a sewing machine oil, it will help the moving parts to function
smoothly. Also, you should clean and put oil into your machine after finishing
any large project. Clean your machine regularly to avoid occurrence of these
problems, to help your machine last longer, and to perform sewing tasks
smoothly.
A sewing machine is an equipment that needs care and cleaning. Keep
it dusted and lubricated at least once a week or more often if the machine is
in constant use. Failure to do these can make your sewing task harder and
can even destroy your sewing machine. When the machine is thoroughly
cleaned and oiled, run it slowly for several minutes to allow the oil to work
on its moving parts. Place a scrap of fabric under the presser foot and lower
the needle to absorb excess oil.
A well-maintained sewing machine will make your work easier, more
interesting, and more enjoyable. If the sewing machine in your laboratory are
kept in good condition and are carefully adjusted and properly threaded, not
too many things can go wrong. But there are certain difficulties that occur
during an operation so often, so you should know these minor and common
problems as well as their causes and remedies. There are two classifications
of sewing machine troubles, namely: minor sewing machine trouble - this
refers to problems that arise involving incorrectly attached accessories or
44
supplies, unadjusted tension, or that requires a little dusting or oiling and
major sewing machine trouble which involves replacing or removing
damage spare parts that made the sewing machine not totally functioning.

Brief
Introduction
There are factors that influence the degree of risk, it includes: how
much a person is exposed to a hazardous thing or condition, how the person
is exposed (e.g., breathing in a vapor, skin contact), and how severe the
effects under the condition to exposure are.
During these trying times, we are exposed with the different hazards
and risks even if we are in our home. Hence, our home is supposed to be
our comfort zone wherein we are safe and protected but every year, accident
and emergency happen due to presence of hazards and risks which serious
injuries and sometimes fatal accidents occur. It is not just children and the
elderly that can be harmed at home but everyone inside it is exposed to such
phenomena. We may always encounter hazard and risk, so we must bear in
our mind that there is a difference between hazard and risk.
Hazard refers to any source of potential damage, harm, or adverse
health effects on something or someone under certain conditions at work. It
is sometimes referred to as being the actual harm or the health effect it
caused. There are different types of hazards, these are chemical, electrical,
ergonomic, psychological, radiation, biological, and physical. On the other
hand, risk is the chance or probability that a person will be harmed or
experienced an adverse health effect if he/she will be exposed to a hazard.
It may also apply to situations with property or equipment loss.
