Information Sheet
Different hand stitches are used for various purposes: temporary stitches,
hemming, seams, finishing, and decorations.
1. Basting – it is temporary stitching used to mark or hold two or more pieces of fabrics together.
Basting should be removed from the garment as soon as the permanent stitching is completed
and it is no longer needed. There are two types of basting:
TLE 7 PAGE 1
a. Even basting – it is used to hold seams together
for fitting or permanent stitching.
a. Uneven basting – it is used for marking or

holding hems in place for stitching.
2. Running stitch – this is the simplest type of hand

stitching. It is used for gathering, shirring, and
mending. It can be used where a strong stitch is
unnecessary.
a. Fasten the thread with a few backstitches and work small stitches by passing the needle in and
out of the fabric.
b. Keep the stitches and spaces as even as possible.
3. Back stitch – this is one of the strongest hand

stitches. It is used for repairing ripped seams.
a. Begin with a couple of stitches worked on the spot, and then take a stitch and a space.
b. Take the needle back over the space and bring it out the same distance in front of the thread.
c. Continue to the end of the seam.
d. Fasten off with a couple of stitches on the spot.
4. Overcast stitch – it is used on fabric edges to

prevent raveling. Make slanting stitches from right to
left on the right side and have needle point towards
your left shoulder as you come through from the
wrong to the right side again. Overcasting can also be
done quickly on the modern zigzag type of machine.
5. Hemming stitch – this slanted stitch is used for

finishing different types of hems, especially ones
with seam binding or a folded edge.
a. Make a tiny stitch on the cloth.

b. Bring the needle diagonally up through the folded edge of the fabric or the seam binding.
c. About 0.6 cm (1/4 inch) to the left, pick up another yarn form the garment.
d. Continue stitching around the hem, spacing stitches evenly. Secure the thread end in a seam
allowance.
6. Blind stitch – this is an excellent stitch for
hemming and holding facings in place barely visible
form the right side of the garment. It also allows
movement without pulling.
TLE 7 PAGE 2
a. Fold the hem edge up along the line of stitching.
b. Pick up a yarn from the garment. Move the needle up diagonally to the left about 0.6 cm (1/4
inch). Pick up a yarn form the hem.
c. Move the needle down diagonally to the left. Pick up a yarn form the garment.
d. Continue around the hem. Make the stitches loose so the hem will not pull and pucker.
Characteristics of Good Stitches
1. The length of stitch is proportioned to the texture of the fabric.
2. The stitches are the same in length.
3. The stitches appear the same on both right and wrong sides of the fabric.
4. The stitching follows the intended line smoothly and accurately.
5. There are no skipped or broken gaps in stitching.
6. When retraced, it appears as one line of stitching.
7. The stitch has no tangles.
Preparing a Project Plan

A project plan is a guide that helps you accomplish a project.
Parts of the Project Plan
I. Name of the project: (Write or state the name of the project you are going to make)
II. Purpose of the Project: (State your reasons why you will do the project)
III. Sketch or working drawing: (It is how your project will look like)
IV. Bill of materials: (This item should be carefully done because it definitely specifies the
materials required)
Quantity Unit Description Unit Cost Cost
V. Procedure: (Enumerate the procedures or steps you will follow)

VI. Evaluation: (This is where you will rate your project)
Sewing Apron
Materials:
Fabric (about 1 yard)
Thread
3 yards of 1 inch wide ribbon
Procedure:
1. Place the apron pattern on the folded fabric and cut out.
TLE 7 PAGE 3
2. Fold the rectangle of coordinating fabric in half with right sides together. Stitch around three
sides of the pocket using a ½” seam allowance, leaving a 3” opening at the bottom. Clip the
corners. (Pattern for patch pocket may vary depending on the design).
3. Turn the pocket right side out and push out the corners of the pocket with an item like a
banana cue stick. (Don’t use something too sharp or you will poke a hole through the fabric.)
Press the pocket flat, folding in the raw edges of the opening. Topstitch along the fold, which
will be the top of your pocket.
4. Place the pocket on the center of the apron approximately 12” from the top. Stitch the sides
and bottom of the pocket to the apron. (Placement of the pocket may vary).
5. Using a double fold hem (folding fabric in ½”, pressing, then folding ½” again and pressing
for a 1” hem), pin and stitch the sides and bottom of the apron.
6. Using a double fold hem (folding fabric in 5/16”, pressing, then folding 5?16’ again and
pressing for a 5/8” hem), pin and stitch the curved side of the apron.
TLE 7 PAGE 4
7. Fold down ¼” along top and press. Fold 1” again and press. Stitch facing down.
8. Stitch 28” piece of ribbon to top left of apron. Finish raw edge of ribbon by folding over twice
and stitching.
9. Stitch 24” long piece of ribbon at the top of the straight side. Repeat for the other side. Finish
raw edge of ribbon by folding over twice and stitching.
