applying basic principles in sewing. Sewing is a worthwhile hobby, but it can also be a means of livelihood or a
way to augment the family income.
This lesson will discuss the importance of producing quality products while keeping costs down. This

important as it is the first thing the customer will notice about the product. Lastly, it is important to market it
properly. This will discuss ways to market your project.
LET’S
LEARN!
Once you mastered your project and satisfied with the final product, you can start producing more to sell
to the other household. In this lesson you will come up with a costing of your product so you can determine its
selling price. There will also be a discussion on record keeping, packaging and places where you can sell your
product.
D. Discussing new concepts (Pagtalakay ng bagong konsepto at paglalahad ng bagong kasanayan #1)
LET’S BE INFORMED!
If the business is registered, and has a business name, the owners may use the business name for product
labels. The business name may also be printed on the packaging material to make it unique and distinct from other
products being sold in the market. Here are some ways to package household linens
In the previous lesson, you were able to make table napkin with embroidery/pillow case. Let us now
compute the cost and see how much you can sell one piece of the item. Here is a sample costing.
A. Linen cloth
Embroidery thread ( assorted colors) Php 100.00
Needle
C. Php 100.00
X 20.00
__________________
120.00 Selling price
The standard percentage of mark-up could be higher or lower depending on several factors. Among these is
the prevailing market price of the same or similar goods in the market. How much are they selling them? What is
the quality of similar products in the market? Are they made of the same quality materials? More importantly, are
the products fast moving or are they difficult to sell? These are some of the considerations to take in deciding how
much profit you will end up with.
If you produce a good enough product there is a good possibility that you will get regular costumers
Who would buy your finished products at a reasonable price. How would you monitor the production and sales
when the orders start increasing? How would you know if you are earning or not?
Record Keeping
To start a small business project, make sure to keep a single record of costs and expenses. This is important
particularly if you want to ensure the viability of your project. This means making sure that your cost is kept to a
minimum without compromising quality. Keep a ledger or record book of daily expenses in connection with the
project Indicate the type of expense items you are listing. The expenses will all be added up when the project is
completed. Below is a sample record of expenses.
Example:

time. It keeps out dirt and moisture while the items are kept in storage until they are sold.

local fibers like, sinamay. Here are some creative ways to package household linens.

Advertising is a form of marketing communication used to persuade an audience to take or continue some action,
usually with respect to commercial offering. One of the earliest forms of advertising was done in ancient Egypt
where they used papyrus to make sales messages and wall posters. Criers were also hired to announce the arrival of
ships and their cargo In addition, outdoor signs were also one of the first forms of advertising when merchants hang
symbols of their goods outside their shops. Then paper packaging was already used in China around the 13 th
century.
Today the use of technology is used in advertising products. This is possible with the use of computer and
availability of internet connection. You can create a website for your finished products to create awareness to the
wider public and gain prospective buyers. Use email or social media to get in touch with your buyers. Moreover, do
not forget the telephone, mobile phone, or fax machine if these can also help you gain buyers.
