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
the provided boxes labeled 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.
25. 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.

two-toned pillowcase.
Take note of the following:
*Needed tools/equipment
*materials
*Size of the fabric
43.
44. *Ask the pupils :
Why is it important
to make a Project
Plan in making a

by making the project plan for two-
toned standard pillowcase using the
given procedures.
56. 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.

the right fabric for a sewing
project?
60.
61. Recap:
Yesterday, you made an effective
project plan for a type of household linen.
Making your own household
linens can save you money. You can also
exercise your own creativity by producing
the design that you really like. These
items can also be sold to augment the
family income..
.
62. Say: Now that you already know how to
carefully plan for a project, you will now
be taught how to choose the proper
material for a sewing project,
particularly the household linen.
When we say material in
sewing, we refer to the fabric or cloth
necessary in sewing.
68. How to choose the proper
material/fabric for a sewing project
•Be sure you are aware of the
different types of fabric.
•The design of the fabric should
also be appropriate to the project.
•Texture of the material should also
be considered.
83. Developing Mastery:
Basket of knowledge:
In a basket containing pieces of
rolled paper where the name of
different fabrics are listed
individually, pick a piece and then
explain the fabric stated in the
unrolled paper.
84. Application in Daily Living:
Choosing the right fabric and
knowing its use will contribute to the
success of the sewing project
Example: sleepwear-cotton
linen-pillowcases
sinamay- placemat
85. Evaluation:
On your own words, Write
in 2-3 sentences why
choosing the right fabric is
important in sewing a
project?
90. Presentation:
The lesson for today will
enable us to learn the proper
way of preparing the fabric
before sewing.
91. Say:Today’s lesson is “Preparing the Fabric”. After discussing the lesson , we will answer
these questions;
1.How do you prepare the fabric
before sewing?
2.Why is it necessary to soak the
fabric in water overnight?
3. Why is it important to condition the
fabric for sewing?
92. Preparing the Fabric:
1.Soak cotton fabric overnight in water.
Soak garment in mild detergent/cold water
solution to free up dirt or stains
2.Hang to dry. Do not wring.
3.Iron wrinkles in the fabric when dry.
4.Check the fibers-lengthwise fibers (warp)
should be straight.
5.Raw edge or selvage should be trimmed.
6.Iron the fabric, if needed.
93. Fabrics with different conditions
1.new fabric
2.soaked overnight fabric
3.wrap side of the fabric
4.fabric with selvage
5.wrinkled fabric
Call students who will prepare the fabric before sewing in front of the class.. All students must participate.
94. Developing Mastery:
Say: Let us go back to the guide questions given earlier and let us answer them.
1.How do you prepare the
fabric before sewing?
2.Why is it necessary to soak
the fabric in water overnight?
3. Why is it important to
condition the fabric for
sewing?
95. Application:
The right choice of
material for the proper way of
conditioning the fabric before
using, will help produce well-
