Despite the production of ready-made clothes and the rise of machines, learning basic hand sewing tools is increasingly overlooked. However, the Department of Education (DepEd) continues to teach these skills. This study used a descriptive case study approach and examined the proficiency of Grade 5 learners in basic hand sewing tools. Thirty (30) learners from San Rafael Elementary School in San Marcelino, Zambales participated in the study, which used descriptive statistical technique to analyze the data. The findings revealed that learners’ proficiency with tools like scissors and needles was developing but needed a deeper understanding, while challenges arose with tools such as thimbles and seam rippers due to fine motor skills. To address these challenges, an instructional video aligned with the Edukasyong Pantahanan at Pangkabuhayan (EPP) Curriculum was created, receiving positive feedback for its clear demonstrations, step-by-step instructions, and slow pacing, which helped improve learners' comprehension and skill proficiency.
