Lesson 1.1
TYPES OF FABRIC
Do you know that fabric is cloth made by weaving,
knitting, or felting fibers? We use fabric most often to make
clothing, from basic coverings to high performance sportswear. Clothing is
very important in our daily life, it is use to cover our body for protection,
safety, sanitation, modesty, identification, uniforms, styles and color
decoration. Fabric covers furniture, too.
Each of us would like to be complimented of being presentable, fresh
and clean not just in physical aspect but also the atmosphere at home that we
would like to create. In order to do so, we must choose fabrics that suits to
each uses.
Below are the types of fabric with their characteristics and its uses.
TYPES OF FABRIC
1. Woven fabric does not stretch except on the bias. Woven fabric is made
up of fibers which run straight at ninety degree angles to each other.
2. Knit fabric has loops of fiber that allow the fabric to stretch. The amount
and the direction of stretches are all variables. A knit may stretch in one
direction or it may stretch in both directions. This is an important
consideration when choosing fabric for a specific pattern. For example; A

141
bathing suit pattern will require equal two way stretch. If you choose a
fabric that only stretches in one direction, the suit is not going to fit
properly and you can even get it on.

Lesson 2.2
TYPES OF FABRIC STAINS AND ITS REMOVAL
TECHNIQUE
Stain removal is the process of removing a mark or spot lift by one
substance on a specific surface like a fabric.
The following are the list of fabric stains with their remedial technique
1. Candle wax
Kinds of fabric: All Fibers
Direction: Scrape off as much wax as possible. Avoid damaging the
fibers. Place clean cloth underand sponge off remaining
wax withtetrachloride. Sponge off remaining stain with a
solution of 1 part denatured alcohol to 2 parts water. Rinse
thoroughly
2. Chewing Gum
Direction: Soften gum with egg white. Wash in warm suds and rinse
thoroughly.You can also sponge with carbon tetrachloride.
3. Finger nail polish
Direction: Damped stain with carbon tetrachloride. Absorb polish with
clean soft cloth. Use a bleach to remove remaining nail
polish. Moisten stainwith water; sprinkle sodium perborate
on stain. Let stand for 30 minutes then rinse well.You may
also commercially prepared chlorine bleach on white cottons
only.You can also use acetone to remove nail polish from any
material ceptacetate.

172
4. Grease and Oils
Kinds of fabric: Silk and Wool
Direction: Put the stained area of a top clean blotter or absorbent
paper towels. Spread cornstarch, French chalk, or talcum
over it.
Put absorbent paper on the right side the garment and press
with warm iron. Brush off powder. Repeat if necessary. You
can also place a paste of cornstarch and carbon tetrachloride
on the stain. Repeat until stain is completely removed.
Kinds of fabric: Cotton, Linen and rayon
Direction: For washable, you can use synthetic detergent in hot water
to remove grease and oil. For ardened grease, soften with
lard before laundering. For non-washable, sponge the spot
with carbon Petrachloride or benzene, or use cornstarch
paste.
5. Ink
Kinds of fabric: Washable Fabrics
Direction: Wash out ink immediately after it has been spilled with clear
water. You can use soap and warm water to remove some
writing inks. You can also saturate the skin with glycerine.
Rub lightly and apply glycerine until all ink has been removed.
Bleach to remove remaining stain. Use sodium perborate
bleach or chloride bleach (only for fabrics without permanent
bleach)
6. Lipstick and Blackened car grease
Kinds of fabric: All Fiber
Direction: For washable. Rub lard or white Vaseline or glycerine.
Damp it with absorbent cloth or tissue paper. Wash in warm
suds. For non-washables. Rub lard or white Vaseline into
skin. Absorb it with tissue paper. Sponge spot with carbon
tetrachloride. If Soak entire garment in cool water. Roll in
towel to absorb excess water until just damp enough to iron.

173
7. Paint and Varnish
Kinds of fabric: Silk, Wool and rayon
Direction: Remove paint with turpentine or benzene immediately. If
paint has hardened, apply benzene or turpentine to both
sides of stain of soften paint. Rub lightly. Sponge re-
maining stain with carbon tetrachloride.
Kinds of fabric: linen:
Direction: You may use the above method on small spots. For large
and splattered stains, soak washables in equal parts of
turpentine and ammonia water. Follow with warm suds.
8. Rust
Direction: These methods are on white fabrics. For other fabrics, test
for colorfastness before using.Sprinkle stain with salt,
squeeze lemon juice on it and dry under the sun.Stretch
stain over pan boiling water, squeeze lemon juice on it and
let stand 3 to 4 minutes Rinse.Boil white cotton or linen
cloth article in solution of 4 teaspoons cream of tartar and 1
pint water. Rinse in clear water.
9. Scorch
Kinds of fabric:
Direction: Regular washing and bleaching under the sun can remove
scorch. Commercial bleaches of the right type mat be used
on white and colorfast fabrics.
10.Water Spots:
Kinds of fabric: Silk, Wool and Rayon
Direction:spot with a soft brush. You can also scratch ring around
spot with fingernail. For remaining spots, rotate that part of
garment above streaming spout of tea kettle-first covering
spout with cheesecloth. Press garment while still slightly
damp. If badly spotted or splattered, dry-clean them.

174
11.Blood
Kinds of fabric:

solvent. Allow to air dry, then rub the area with detergent.
Launder according to fabric.
14.Dirt and Mud
Kinds of fiber: All Fibers
Direction: Allow mud to dry. Brush of any hard residue, then launder
to remove any remaining marks. Treat persistent mud stains
with denatured alcohol.
15.Fruit Juice
Kinds of fabric:All Fibers
Direction: Rinse immediately under cold water. Treat any remaining
stain by sponging it with denatured alcohol.
16.Grass
Kinds of fabric: All Fiber
Direction: Soak in an enzyme-based detergent. Launder according to
fabric.

175
17.Perspiration
Direction: Pre-treat heavy stains by blotting with ammonia solution (1
teaspoon ammonia to 2 cups cold water). Launder using an
all-fabric bleach.
18.Sauces (Tomato Based)
Kinds of Fabric: All Fibers
Direction: Place the fresh stain under cold water, rubbing it between
your fingers. Saturate the area with a prewash treatment.
Launder according to fabric.
 General Rules for a Successful Stain Removal
1. Study the fiber content and finishing used in the cloth of
garment. Stain removers that work on vegetable fibers may not
be effective on animal fibers.
2. Test stain remover on the hidden part of the garment like seam
allowances before you apply it to the stain. This will prevent
unwanted discoloration and water spots on the fabric.
3. Remember what caused the stain: grease, oil, fruit paint, etc.
Folow direction given for any of these stains. If you cannot
remember, wash it first with water.
4. Prepare all equipment needed and place them within the
working area. Work on a clean table. You will need a pad of
clean white cloth to put under the stain while you are working on
it.
5. Work from the wrong side of the garment so that the stain will
not be forced all the way through the fabric from the right side.
6. Use stain remover in small amounts. Repeatedly, this is better in
removing stain than one single heavy dose.

176
7. Work quickly and lightly in brushing motion with using white, lint-
free cloth or a sponge. Avoid spots and rings by using medicine
dropper when drops are called for.
8. Wash treated area thoroughly because residues left on the cloth
9. Dry the garment immediately to prevent rings.

Lesson 2.3
REPAIR OF FABRIC DAMAGES
We cannot avoid the fact that damages is one of
the common problems in clothes and linen especially if it is
frequently used, therefore it is necessary to be equipped with
knowledge and skills to treat such clothes and linen damages with or
without the use of sewing machine which definitely can save money
and its functionality.
Below are some of the common clothes and linen damages with
their procedural treatment.
1. Torn Seam
Step 3. Over stitch. From the point where you finished
your running stitch, insert the threaded needle
into one side of the seam and directly out the
other side. Then pull the cotton over the top to
repeat the stitch, entering from the same side as
before. Continue back along the length of the
tear. This secures the running stitches and
prevents the seam from fraying.
Step 1. Locate the torn seam. Turn the clothing
item inside out and pull gently at the
seam to locate the hole.
Step 2. Stitch up. Push the needle through the
seam just below the tear weave it through to
the other side of the seam and back again.
Continue the stich along the length of the
tear.

181
2. Re-sewing Buttons
Step 1: When sewing or re-sewing buttons, start by taking one or two
small stitches at the point where you are going to sew
the buttons.
Step 2: Pull the thread through the fabric and through one hole of the
button and place the button on top of the stitches.
Step 3: Make a thread shank that will allow easy buttoning by sliding a
pin or needle between the button and the thread. Sew through
by pushing and pulling the needle through each set of holes at
least five times or until the threads are thick enough to form a
shank.
Step 4: Remove the pin or needle. Pull up the button and wind the
thread around threads under the button. Make several small
back stitches under the button (back of the cloth) to secure the
stitches. Knot and Cut excess thread.
Step 4. Cast off. Tie 2 or 3 simple knots at the
end of the stitches.
Step 5. Turn the item back around the right way.
Admire your hand work. As good as
new!

182
3. Shank Buttons
Step 1: Start by taking two small stitches at the point where you are
going to attach the button. Make about four stitches
through the button shank and the fabric together.
Step 2:.Finish by making few backstitches through the button to
secure the stitches. Knot and cut excess thread.
Rip
A rip is an opening along a seam. You can easily repair it by
machine or by hand. Work on the wrong side of the garment. Sew
running stiches along the original stiches about an inch seamline.
Make additional stiches about an inch on both sides of the opening to
reinforce it and to prevent the rip from reopening.
4. Patching
Patching is cutting a piece of cloth of the same material to cover
a hole or a tear on garment.
Step 2: With fabric inside out, put patch on the top of hole;
match grain if necessary. Turn right side out, and
pin patch in place. Slip-baste all around the patch.
Remove pins
Step 1: To make the hole easier to repair, cut around it with
small scissors to make a neat square or rectangle;
trim loose threads found on each corner of the hole,
cut a ¼ inch notch at a 45-degree angle. Turn
materials inside out. Fold square’s ¼-inch edges
onto materials wrong side out, and iron flat. Measure
mark, and cut out a square from a matching piece of
fabric. Make sure the patch is ½-inch bigger than the
hole you’re repairing.
Step3: Turn shirt inside out. Fold back 1/2-inch excess of
fabric so it's flush with folded edge of hole, folding
corners over each other. Insert needle through folded
edge of patch; stitch up through folded edge of shirt,
joining the two fabrics. Continue all around square.
Remove basting thread.

183
5. Darning
Darning is repairing a hole by weaving in new
threads. It is usually done on sock heels or sweater
elbows of cotton and wool fabrics. The darning treads
should be of the same material as the fabric of the
garment. The thread should also be of the same
thickness of the garment thread.
Step 4: Use a cross-stitch to finish edges of patch inside
shirt. Cut off tips of patch's corners at 45-degree
angles. Fold back each edge 1/4-inch. Cross-stitch the
edges to the shirt, picking up only one or two threads
with each stitch. Once the hole has been patched, iron
patch in place before turning shirt right side out. Iron
patch in place again if necessary.
Step 1: Make stiches that are closed and parallel with
one another across the hole, creating a thread
“ladder”. Make the stiches close to one another as
in the stitches of the original fabric
.
Step 2: Weave across, also weave back and forth
passing over and under the thread as you
keep the stiches loose but tight enough to
cover the hole completely. Secure the thread
end by slipping the needle on the wrong side
and by making several back stitches. Knot
and cut excess thread.

Learning Outcome 3:
Prepare washing of fabric supplies and equipment
Objectives:
1. Check and prepare laundry supplies and equipment according to
standard operating procedures
2. Demonstrate washing in accordance with standard operating
procedures.
This lesson provides students with the opportunities and experience to
apply the knowledge, skills and attitude with the competencies in checking and
sorting clothes, linen and fabrics together with the proper selection of laundry
supplies and equipment in their daily activities at home.
Lesson 3.1
LAUNDRY SUPPLIES AND EQUIPMENT
These are primarily use to remove soil. There are
different kinds of detergents from mild to heavy-duty
depending on the kinds of linen and fabrics you are
about to wash. Therefore, one must be knowledgeable
in choosing the detergent so as not to damage the
clothes and fabrics.
Synthetic detergent contain surfactants which
increase the water’s wetting ability, loosen and remove
soil and suspend it in the washing solution. They are heavy-duty also contain
one or more “builders”. These are used to increase the cleaning capacity of

188
surfactants. Some synthetic detergent contain whitening agents, color safe
bleach, enzymes and borax. These are all used to increase the basic
cleaning power of the detergent. Some detergents also contains fabric
softeners, which eliminates the need to add fabric softeners in the wash
water.
Heavy-duty detergents are used for very dirty clothes and linen and
can be used for all fabrics that are washable. Light-duty detergents, on the
other hand, are used for laundering delicate fabrics and baby clothes.
Ultra detergents are compact and highly concentrated. They are the
latest development in laundry products. They are available in both granular
and liquid form. They should be used in small amounts. The more common
detergent forms in the market are powder, granular, and bar.
Bleaches
These are very powerful chemicals. Avoid
using them directly on the fabric. Use them only on
white and colorfast fabrics. There are two kinds of
bleach:
 Chlorine – it is strong, fast acting and very effective for cotton,
linen, and synthetic fabrics. Use it sparingly and properly because it
weakens the fiber and causes integration or produces holes. Read
accompanying instructions before use.
 All- fabric/oxygen – This kind of bleach is milder than chlorine
bleach
It is used for delicate fabrics that require extra care. It acts on stain much
slower and less effective than chlorine bleach. It comes in dry and liquid
forms and it can be used in most washable silks and wools. Use liquid
oxygen bleach to treat stains. Add it to the wash water together with the
detergent, before clothes are immersed. Some garment manufactures
indicate a “no bleach” sign on the garment and must be strictly followed.

189
SoapSoap is milder than detergents because they
are made of mild and natural materials. They are
very good for baby’s clothes and other delicate
garments.
Do’s on Bleaching Dont’s on Bleaching
1. Wear rubber gloves when hand
washing with bleach.
2. Read accompanying
instructions and labels before
use.
3. Test bleach before use. Follow
the procedure given below.
Chlorine bleach: Mix 1 tbsp.
bleach with ¼ cup cold
water. Place a drop of a
hidden area. Let stand for 1
minute. Blot with towel or
cotton ball to check if there
is any change in color.
All-fabric oxygen bleach: Mix 1
tbsp. bleach with 1-cup hot
water. Place a drop on a
hidden area. Let stand for
few minutes. Blot and
natural with towel or cotton
ball to check if there is any
change in color.
4. Rinse out the bleach thoroughly
.
5. Keep bleach away from
children.
1. Do not let chlorine bleach come
in direct contact with fabrics.
2. Do not put all-fabrics/oxygen
bleach directly on wet fabrics
without first testing the color
fastness.
3. Do not use chlorine bleach if
your household water supply
has high iron content. The
bleach can draw out the iron
and deposit it on the garment
as spots.
4. Do not mix bleach and
ammonia. The combination
can create toxic fumes.
5. Do not use more than the
recommended amount on the
package or label. Strictly follow
accompanying instructions.
6. Rinse out the bleach
thoroughly.
7. Keep bleach away from
children.

Laundry Tools and Equipment
Washing machine
A washing machine is a machine use to
wash laundry, such as clothing and linens. The
term is mostly applied only to machines that use
water as opposed to dry cleaning. Washing
entails immersing, dipping, rubbing, or scrubbing
in water usually accompanied by detergents, or
bleach. The simplest machines may simply
agitate clothes in water while switched on;
automatic machines may fill, empty, wash, spin,
and heat a cycle.
Basin
An open, shallow, usually round container used
especially for holding liquids while washing clothes and
linens.
Water
A liquid used for washing clothes and linens. It is also
known as the universal solvent.
Washboard
A washboard is a tool designed for hand
washing clothing.

191
Brush
Brush for removing dust and dirt from clothes
Laundry Working Habits
Better result of laundry is determined by good working habits, it will
also save time, money and energy, while poor working habits tend to waste
resources and time. Therefore, it is necessary to practice good working habits
to be successful in washing clothes, linens and fabrics.
1. Provide yourself with the enough space for washing.
2. Provide yourself with complete tools and equipment for washing.
3. Always work in a well-lighted place
4. Always use basin while rinsing to save water consumption.
5. Strictly follow laundry procedure.

Lesson 3.2
WASHING OF FABRIC
By this time, you already have background knowledge to the kinds of
fabrics your garments are made of and the care you should give attention
to. You are also familiar with the different stains, defects and its remedies.
You are now ready to wash your clothes! Here are the steps.
Step 1: Collect all your soiled items such as clothes and
linens.
Step 2: Sort clothes and linen and create piles of items
based on color and fabric type. In sorting always
remember to make these important checks before
every wash:
 Empty out pockets. One tissue can leave fluff on
an entire wash load.
 Do up zips. Left undone, they may snag other
clothes.
 Take out items that need sewing attention. A small
rip is likely to become larger through washing and
a small, loose button could disappear.
 Turn T- shirts with a pattern inside out.
 Put small delicate items, such as sheer tights
(nylons), into a mesh wash bag to protect them
from snagging.
 Load the drum (basket) loosely, alternating big and
small items.
 Follow instructions for the most delicate part of an
item with two or more materials. It may make

194
sense to separate the two materials. For example,
you may want to detach a delicate lining from
strong but dirty curtains or remove a non washable
ribbon from child’s outfit.
 Be on the lookout for stains. Some may need pre-
treating. This is especially important for blood
emulsion (latex) paint, ink, rust, and grass which
becomes harder to shift if it sits in hot water.
 Separate light colored clothes from dark ones. All
white fabric should go together; light colored fabric
can join the pile. To avoid “painting” your light
clothes, separate your dirty laundry into white or
light (pale pastel shades) clothing and dark
clothing.
 Separate laundry by fabric or texture. Heavy
fabrics like denim jeans and towels require a
different washing –machine cycle than delicate
items (like bras and lingerie) or medium-weight
ones like sheets. Women’s lingerie, like bras, can
be damaged in machines. These items should be
done apart using the delicate cycle, though if you
don’t have the time to do an extra load, you can
put them in a special mesh bag that will protect
them if you throw them in the regular wash.
Step 3: Read the care label on clothing before washing
Some clothing can only be dry cleaned while other
clothing, like that made of wool, needs to be hand washed with
a special soap and dried by placing over a towel or rack.
Step 4: Choose the right setting
Washing machines have settings for water temperature.
Use hot water for light –colored items that are especially dirty or
smelly. Use cold water for dark clothes (especially new ones)
whose colors are more likely to bleed. Cotton items also require
cold water to avoid shrinkage.

195
You’ll also see settings for load size, usually small, medium or large. If
your dirty laundry fills the machine to one third , then select small ; half way
full is medium; and three quarters full is large. Never stuff the machine,
because you need room for the water.
Step 5: Figure out laundry detergent, bleach, fabric softener to be
used
When you’re ready to wash your (separated) clothes, don’t just shove
them into the machine, dump in some detergent and turn on the machine.
There’s a process: First, fill your washing machine with water to about one-
third full, and then add the bleach if you’re using it. Next, add the detergent,
swish it around in the water to make sure it’s dissolved, and then add your
clothes.
 Detergent
How much laundry detergent you need will depend
on the size of your load. Always read the instructions on
the laundry detergent container so that you know how
much to put in. Some detergents are more concentrated
so require less detergent.
 To bleach or not?
If you have clothes that are especially dirty or if
you like your whites to be as white as possible, you can
add bleach. But be careful –all bleaches aren’t made the
same, so be sure to read the product labels carefully.
Chlorine bleach – is great for making white clothes
whiter, especially cotton and linen. Never use chlorine –
based bleaches on colored fabric, because it’ll take the
color right out.
All fabric bleach – is made just for colors and
chlorine –sensitive fabrics.
-If you’re washing machine doesn’t have a
bleach dispenser, then always dilute the bleach with
water before it touches your clothes.

196
- The “hardness” of your water can affect
how bleach works, so test it on some clothes you don’t
care about it.
 Using fabric softener
If you like your towels to be soft and fluffy, add
liquid fabric softener to the rinse cycle. (Many washing
machines have special dispenser for liquid fabric
softener. You fill this dispenser at the beginning of the
wash cycle, and the machine automatically releases it at
the proper time.)
Step 6: Put the dirty items in machine.
Don’t overload the machine. If you pack it too tightly, there’s less room
for the machine to agitate the dirt out of your washing. The best way to get a
correct load is to weight it to fit in with your machine capacity. As a very rough
guide, if you have more than 15 items, you’ve put in too much.
Steps in washing clothes, linens, and Fabrics (hand washing procedure)
Step 1. Collect all your soiled clothes and
linens from the rooms, or
wherever you keep them. Keep in
mind to look under your bed.
Make sure you find everything.
Step 2. Sort clothes and linens into piles.
There are two important
consideration here: What kind of
fabric is it (as in sheets, towels,
bathrobes, napkin, and rags) and
what color.

197
a. All whites should go with only whites ( or very light colors if the
item has been washed many times);
b. Then put all the reds, pinks, and oranges in separate pile ( Never
keep this close to the white pile as you will be wearing pink shirts
for a long time);
c. Then, depending on how much more you have left, put the other
colors together, possibly into a lighther (e.g. grays, yellows, light
blues) and darker pile (blacks, dark blues, brown, green, purples).
Step 3. Washing time:
- Fill your basin with water.
- Add ¼ cup of detergent to the water
and mix it around. Soak clothes and
linens inthe water for a while if there
are any stains. This will minimize your
work for washing.
Start washing clothes after the other.
Knead the clothes and linen in the
water and twist them.
Step 4. Rinse each clothing and linen until
the detergent is gone. You may also use fabric
softener.

198
Step 5.Hang your clothes and linens and let it
dry.
a. Identify clothes that can be hung on the
clothes line or hunger.
b. Pin up the clothes (use a plastic clothes
hanger to dry delicate fabrics.)
c. Fold the clothes as you take them of the
clothes line.
Remember:
You may also use drying machine as alternative especially during rainy
season. Use dying machine in accordance with standard drying procedure.
Remember:
Washing with the use of washing machine – performs washing in
accordance with standard washing procedures.

214
Do you know that ironing is different from pressing? To iron is you
generally go over the entire garment with long, smooth stokes, while pressing
involves lifting and lowering motions just where there are wrinkles. So, it’s
important to know the specific procedures on ironing different clothes.
Specific Procedure of Ironing
Shirt/Polo
Step 1 Unbutton the shirt all the way; don't forget the sleeves and collar.
Step 2 Lay the shirt flat on the ironing board.
Step 3 Start by ironing the back of the shirt; lay it "face down".
Step 4 Move the iron up and down, working your way along the shirt. Don't
keep the surface of the iron on the fabric for more than a few seconds,
or else your shirt will burn.
Step 5 Once you're done ironing the back, work your way along each side of
the article, by gradually rotating the shirt to each side of the ironing
board.
Step 6 Now on to the sleeves. Lay the shirt on the ironing board so that the
sleeve you are ironing is parallel to the ironing board.
Reminder:
If you are ironing more than one item. Begin with one that uses the
lowest setting on the iron.

215
Tip. Iron lightly over the pockets to avoid creating creases with their outline.
Tip. Hang pants right away- and don’t forget to unplug your iron.
Step 7 Press the back and front of each sleeve, and make sure to maintain
the shirt's creases. Don't forget to iron the opened cuff of each sleeve.
Step 8 Last but not least, iron both sides of the shirt collar, then iron the
folded collar to maintain its creases.
Pants
Step 1 Iron pockets. Turn pants inside out. Iron pockets first, laying the flag
against the board.
Step 2 Iron the fly of the pants, then the seam and hem of the first leg. Go
back and forth for a nice, flat finish. Repeat on opposite leg. Then
turn the pants right-side out.
Step 3 Iron the waistband. Slip the waistband around the board’s narrow
end, with the fly facing the floor. Iron waistband, rotating pants
around the board as you go.
Step 4 Iron legs. Fold the pants lengthwise to line up the legs, then lay
pants on the board. Flip one leg up to iron the inside of the bottom
leg, working in sections all the way to the crotch. Then flip pants over
to iron the outside of that leg. Repeat this step on the other pant leg.
Step 5 Set creases with steam. To create a front crease on your legs, align
inseam and lay pants on board. Iron directly over the edges of the
legs or give pants a burst of steam along the edge while holding the
iron a few inches above the fabric.
Tip. To avoid a side crease, iron just out to (but not directly over) the edge of
the leg.
When you’re done with the shirt, hang it up on hanger, where it’ll be ready until
the next time you wear it again
