Introduction

A sewing machine is a machine used to sew fabric and materials


together with thread. Sewing machines were invented during the First
Industrial Revolution to decrease the amount of manual sewing work
performed in clothing companies.
Sewing Machine is any of various foot-operated or electric machines
for sewing or making stitches, ranging from machines with a shuttle for a
spool of thread and a needle for sewing garments to industrial machines for
sewing leather, book pages together, etc.
1. Spool Pin - is a spool-shaped pin, used in some cylinder locks to
foil picking attempts. It is used to keep the small size yarn bundle
or thread.
2. Thread Guide - remains the thread in a fixed position and guides
the thread from the reel to the needle.
3. Thread Take-up Lever - pulls the thread from the reel to support it
through the machine and takes up the thread back up out of the
cloth after a stitch has been made.
11
4. Presser Foot - is an important part of a sewing machine.
It holds the fabric parallel as it goes through the machine
and easily can stitch and always keeps the fabric flat.
5. Power Switch - means the off-on function of a sewing
machine. The power switch is located at the right side
under the hand wheel.
6. Bobbin - is a reed or cylinder or wheel with or without flanges on
which wire yarn, thread, cable, or film is rounded. It is usually used
in sewing machines cameras and many other electronic devices.
7. Bobbin Binder Spindle - holds the reel of the yarn. It also controls
the direction of the yarn as it runs through the machine. By using
this, on can wind the bobbin with thread.
8. Bobbin Winder Stopper - stops the bobbin winding when bobbin
comes at its optimum capacity.
9. Bobbin Winder Thread Guide - are normally used in bobbin
winding time.
10. Bobbin Cover - covers the parts of the bobbin and bobbin case.
11. Bobbin Cover Release Button It is one type of button which is
used to release the cover for access to the bobbin.
12. Feed Dogs - are metal teeth plat that spring from a hole in the
throat plate of a sewing machine. These normally oppress the
bottom fabric to help it go through the sewing machine and produce
a high-quality stitch.
13. Pattern Selector Dial - is used to fix the symbol of the desired
stitch pattern.
14. Stitch Length Dial - is used to determine the length of the stitch.
15. Stitch Width Dial - decides how far the stitch will work from side
to side.
16. Hand Wheel - is a wheel which worked by hand and is situated
on the right side of the machine. It helps to deride your machine
with maximum or minimum volume as you need. It is.
17. Reverse Stitch Lever - is a bar that raises and down the presser
foot. Its located in the back of the machine.

12
18. Needle - is a long narrow or thin tool with a pointed apex at one
side and a hole on the other side. Without it, a machine just like a
ship without a rudder.
19. Needle Plate - is a metal plate which fixed below the needle and
presser foot. It helps to pass the fabric smoothly during the sewing.
20. Needle Bar - is the vertical bar of a sewing machine holding the
needle.
21. Needle Clamp Screws - holds the needle in the actual place.
22. Face Plate - is a cover which helps to mitigate the entry on the
oiling points of the take-up lever, presser bar, and the needle bar.
23. Tension Disc - controls the looseness and tightness of the
stitches.

Introduction

Taking correct and exact body measurement is an essential part in


garment production. It contributes fully to the satisfaction of the client. This
lesson implies about the importance of knowing the parts of the body to be
measured, the use of appropriate measuring tools, the accurate way of
reading measurements, and the process of obtaining correct measurements.

Body Measurement Chart

1. NECK AND BUST


To measure your neck, pull the tape around the middle, coming from
the back to the front. It should sit at the base of the neck above the
collar bone.

19
To measure your bust, bring the tape around your back up to the front.
Pull it around the apex (or fullest) point of your bust. It should be
aligned parallel to the floor, making a straight, horizontal line across
both your front and back. If you have someone to help, you record the
measurement at the front with your hand down at your sides.
2. WAIST AND HIPS
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
nape, down your spine, and to your waist.
To measure the back width, measure horizontally between your arm
attachment points (underarm).
5. SHOULDER
Measure from the base of your neck right in the middle of your
shoulder and along to the tip of your shoulder. If you have trouble
determining your shoulder tip, find a garment in your closet that fits
well and has a collar and sleeve. Then, measure the shoulder length
of the garment.
To measure under the arm, wrap your measuring tape around the
fullest part of your arm above your elbow.
6. ARM LENGTH

20
Have your arm just slightly bent and ask someone to measure from
the tip of your shoulder over the elbow to your wrist line.
The parts of the body to be measured can be taken
in:
Horizontal measurement
Vertical measurement
Circumferential measurement

1. The horizontal measurement is taken from the left of the figure to


the right.
2. The vertical measurement is taken from the top of the body figure
to its base.
3. Circumferential measurement is taken around the body.

METRIC CONVERSION CHART

Simple calculation is an easy mathematical application used to


determine the accurate measurement of body parts, length and width of
materials and cost needed to create an apparel. This is the process in which
the four fundamentals of operations or the (MDAS) is involved.

In measuring the length and width of materials needed such as fabrics,


we also need the use of the Metric measurement system.
English System - the measurement system that has inches for its basic
unit
Metric System - the measurement system that is based on a unit of length
known as the meter (from the Greek word metron which means measure)
Conversion - a change of figures; changing from centimeters to inches and
vice versa
Measurement - a systematic procedure of determining the quantity or
extent of the entire measurable dimension

Brief
Introduction

Simple calculation is an easy mathematical application used to


determine the accurate measurement of body parts, length and width of
materials, and costs needed to create apparel. This is the process in which
the four fundamental operations (MDAS) is involved. We also need the use
of the Metric Measurement System in measuring the length and width of the
materials needed such as fabrics.
Accuracy – the exactness of a measured distance or
circumference
Calculation – the process or an act of calculating
28
Calculator – an electronic device used for speed computation
Conversion – a change of figures like changing from centimeters to
inches and vice versa
Cost – the amount paid or charge for something that is acquired
In planning a project, it is important to estimate the quantity of materials
to be used and the cost involved. Doing estimates will help you to make the
right decisions so that there’ll be any effort, money and time wasted.

Estimating of Materials
In estimating you should know the size and the number of products to
be made and the size of the cloth if it is 36‖, 45‖ or 60‖ width. For example,
an organizer measuring 12‖ x 30‖ with three patch pockets of different
designs. For one yard of a 45 width cacha cloth you can make two
organizers. So, for one organizer you can use ½ yard of a cacha cloth.
Estimated cost of the cloth is Php60.00.

Quantity Materials Unit Price Total Cost


½ yard Cacha (Flour Sack) 20.00 10.00
1/4 Manila Paper 8.00 2.00
1 spool Thread (small) 8.00 8.00
Total Cost = 20.00
The table shows a sample of materials estimated and the cost good for
one project.

Brief
Introduction

The Principles of Design are concepts used to organize or arrange


the structural elements of a design. You should consider the Color Theory
which states that the first thing we usually notice about clothes or anything
is their color. Before you start studying which colors look best together,
you should learn that the colors have different meaning and impact. To
help you out with this module, the following definition of terms are listed
below:
1. Asymmetrical - means having no balance or symmetry or when
the structure decoration and are different both sides from the
center of the design.
2. Balance - is a state of equilibrium or parity characterized by
cancellation of all forces.
3. Colorfast - is being describe to something which does not fade
easily.
4. Design - is the other term for blueprint.
5. Emphasis - is a special attention or effort directed toward
something and can be achieved in graphic design by placing
elements on the page in positions where the eye is naturally
drawn or by using other principles such as contrast, repetition, or
movement.
6. Harmony - refers to equal opposing forces. It should be achieved
through judicious use of color, shape, and texture to give a
feeling of oneness.
7. Primary Colors – the sources of all colors, even though there
are thousands and thousands of colors in the world, they are all
made up of these colors – red, blue, and yellow.
8. Secondary Colors - are produced when mixing two equal
amounts of primary colors. If you mix equal amount or yellow and
blue you will have green, equal parts of red and blue will have
violet, and red and yellow you will have orange.

36
9. Proportion - pertains to the relationship of two or more elements
in a composition and how they are compared to one another with
respect to size, color, quantity, degree, setting, etc.
10. Rhythm - is a principle of design that suggests movement or
action. It is usually achieved through repetition of lines, shapes,
colors, and more.
11. Symmetry - can be produced when mixing two equal amount
of primary colors sides of a dividing line or plane or about a center
or an axis exact correspondence of form and constituent
configuration on opposite.

Basic Hand Stitches


After knowing the principles of design, it is now time to discover the
different basic hand stiches. Given below is the sample photograph, the
label, and its description.

Back Stitch – This resembles machine stitching and is


used to strengthen a seam made by hand. Make one
running stitch, then take a back stitch to the beginning
of the first stitch, thus overlapping each running stitch.
Basting –This is used to hold fabric temporarily in
place, until permanently stitched. There are four types
of basting: hand basting, machine basting, pin basting,
and basting edges with an iron.
Running Stitch - To make this stitch, push point of
needle in and out of fabric until you have several
stitches on the needle. Hold fabric taut with left hand
and pull the needle through. Practice until you make
fine even stitches.
Outline Stitch - This stitch is similar to the back stitch,
but it is slanted. Make one slanted back stitch in front
of another letting each one overlapped the one before
it just a little bit, until the design is filled.

37
Blanket Stitch - Put your needle in ¼ inch from the
edge of the fabric, put the thread under the point of the
Activity
needle and pull through.

Catch Stitch - This is used for a flat finish next to


fabric, such as seam binding on a hem. Hold open hem
edge away from you, work from left to right. Take a
stitch in the hem, then a tiny stitch to the right just
beyond edge of a hem with the point of needle to the
left. This makes lines that cross each other in diagonal.
Chain Stitch - Insert the needle in and out the fabric
(as in the running stitch). Bring the thread under the tip
of the needle while still in the fabric, then pull the
needle through.

Brief
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.

Brief
Introduction

At a time when the global community is hit by the outbreak of the


COVID-19 pandemic, the importance of safe sanitation and hygiene to
prevent diseases and live a healthy and fulfilling life is more obvious than
ever before. Safe sanitation and hygiene do not only impact on people’s
health. It also impacts on livelihoods, limits opportunities of people and
prevents children from attending and finishing school. Unfortunately,
sanitation and hygiene are samples of forgotten development issue. There
are still issues about lack of basic handwashing facility at home and nearly
900 million children worldwide lack of basic hygiene service at their school.

Current evidence indicates that the COVID-19 virus is transmitted


through respiratory droplets or contact. Contact transmission occurs when
contaminated hands touch the mucosa of the mouth, nose, or eyes. The virus
can also be transferred from one surface to another by contaminated hands,
which facilitates indirect contact transmission. Consequently, hand hygiene
is extremely important to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 virus. It also
interrupts transmission of other viruses and bacteria causing common colds,
flu and pneumonia, thus reducing the general burden of disease

that risk assessments should follow five simple steps:

 Step 1: Identify the hazards.


 Step 2: Decide who might be harmed and how.
 Step 3: Evaluate the risks and decide on precautions.
 Step 4: Record your findings and implement them.
 Step 5: Review your assessment and update if necessary.

But since we are in a pandemic, we there are limitations in going outside.


Still, there are practices that we should follow to have a safe environment
even inside our home. This must be done to avoid the spread of diseases
specially, COVID19. Such practices are as follows:

 Improve personal hygiene.


 Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.
 Cover your mouth and nose with your elbow or tissue paper when
coughing or sneezing.
 Dispose used tissue paper immediately.
 Maintain a distance of at least 1 meter (3 feet) from people who are
coughing or sneezing.
