What are the different component of TLE?
It is composed of four (4) major livelihood component areas, namely, Home Economics (HE),
Agriculture and Fishery Arts (AFA), Industrial Arts (IA) and Information and Communication
Technology (ICT). Entrepreneurship is integrated in all areas in TLE and its components.
T.L.E is a subject that focuses around home life and general living, and the four components of the
subject include home economics, agricultural arts, entrepreneurship and industrial arts.

Home economics is sometimes known as family and consumer sciences, and it is the study and
profession that deals with the management and economics of the community and the home. It's a field
of formal study that includes topics like institutional management, consumer education, interior design,
cleaning, home furnishing, cooking, food preservation, child development, hygiene, family relationships
as well as managing money.

Sexual education as well as drug awareness can sometimes covered under home economics, too.
Furthermore, fire prevention and safety procedures associated with it, are often covered under home
economics as well. The study is there to prepare all students for their professional careers as well as
homemaking, a skill that is often considered to be overlooked in the school environment.

Home economics is taught in high schools and colleges, vocational schools and even universities. People
who are attending adult education centers often find that home economics is taught, too, as more and
more topics of study are available for adults to become involved with these days.

Industrial arts, which is covered as well, is actually an umbrella term that originates In the late 19th
century. It is used to describe an educational program that includes the fabrication of objects made out
of wood, metals or other materials. The subject can sometimes include the repairing of small engines
and general automobile maintenance, making T.L.E a great subject for life skills.

T.L.E is an old educational concept but it is still practiced today in many western countries and offers
great benefits to those who are involved with it. Talk to your school for more information about the
subject.
Dressmaking Tools & Equipment
Before choosing your fabric or pattern it’s incredibly important that you have all the tools you need,

there’s nothing worse than starting your first dressmaking project and realising that you are missing a

crucial piece of equipment.

Fabric Measuring Tools

Tape Measure

Having a tape measure to hand can be indispensable, especially when you’re taking measuring or

making alterations. We’d suggest investing in a tape-measure that rolls up rather than retracts into a

case to make your life easier.

Tailor’s Chalk

Tailor’s chalk allows you to easily mark your fabric when you’re measuring it and preparing to cut it. It

will work on most materials and is easily removed, making it a popular tool in the sewing world.
Pencil, Ruler & Rubber

These three tools are essential to any dressmaker’s sewing kit as they come in handy when you need

to make alterations to your patterns.

Dress Cutting Tools

Dressmaker’s Shears

Also referred to as dressmaker’s scissors, these scissors have serrated edges that are ideal for cutting

out all types of fabric, including leather and denim. We’d suggest investing in a high-quality pair that

come with a sheath to keep them in after every use. It’s also worth knowing that these types of

scissors aren’t designed to cut paper or thread, as this will blunt their edge.
Paper Scissors

As dressmaker’s shears shouldn’t be used for cutting paper, its best practise to have an ordinary pair

of scissors in your dressmaking kit so you’re able to cut out patterns as and when you need to.
Small, Sharp Scissors

A pair of small, sharp scissors are also useful for cutting thread.
Rotary Cutter

A rotary cutter is a tool that can save you hours of time. As the blade rotates, it makes it easy to cut

layers of fabric simultaneously, whilst giving you a clean cutting edge.

Cutting Mat

If you’re using a rotary cutter, you’ll also need a cutting mat to protect your work surface. We’d

recommended choosing the largest size you can to make sure you can fit all your fabric on at once.

Sewing Tools

Sewing Machine

A sewing machine will become your new best friend as you start dress-making. There will be some

patterns that require you to hand sew, but for the majority of your sewing you will need a sewing

machine. If you don’t own a sewing machine then we would advise investing in a sturdy machine that

has multiple stitching options.

Machine Needles

With your sewing machine you’ll need to invest in a range of different sewing machine needles

depending on what fabric and weight you working with. You can find more information about the

different types of sewing machine needles on page?

Seam Unpicker

Especially if you’re just starting out, you’re bound to make mistakes, so you’ll want a seam ripper to

un-pick stitches.
Extra Sewing Feet

Having extra sewing feet will not only make your life easier when it comes to sewing trickier stitches,

but won’t hinder your project if one snaps mid-sew.

Hand-Sewing Needles

Even though most of your work will be sewn with a sewing machine, you will need some hand-sewing

needles for elements such as intricate detailing. Standard hand-sewing needles will do the job

perfectly,
Pin Cushion

Keep your work station tidy with a pin cushion. Most sewing kits will come with a traditional fabric pin

cushion, however a handy alternative is a magnetic pin cushion, as it means you no longer need to

worry about finding pins lying about on the floor.

Thimble

Protect your thumb when you’re hand sewing with a thimble. Make sure you purchase one that is non-

slip to prevent it from moving about as you sew.

Pressing Tools

Ironing Board

An ironing board isn’t an extravagant tool you’ll need for dressmaking, but you need to make sure

that your ironing board is sturdy and the height can be adjusted. It’s also worth ensuring your ironing

board is in a good condition; one with a reflective cover gives the best surface for pressing.
Iron

The best iron for dressmaking is one that is heavier than you’d choose for your household chores. The

plate should have plenty of holes to let out steam and should have a non-stick surface. A narrower tip

is also useful for pressing those hard to reach areas.

Pressing Cloth

A pressing cloth is a piece of fabric that is laid between your iron and your garment to help protect

them from the iron’s heat. To begin with a cotton muslin pressing cloth will do the job, but as you

become more advanced, it’s worth investing in a variety of different pressing cloths made from

different fabrics.
Tailor’s Ham

Sometimes called a dressmaker’s ham, a tailor’s ham is a solid cushion that makes it easy for pressing

curved seams such as collars, princess seams and darts. It’s filled with sawdust which makes it

mouldable, and one side is usually covered in cotton and the other in wool.
