Dissertation note: College of Industrial Technology.-- Bachelor of Technology in Apparel and Fashion Technology: Technological University of the Philippines, Manila. 2024 Summary: The multi-functional sewing tool, inspired by the Swiss Army knife concept, condenses its hand-held sewing accessories into a single design. The aspect of this tool includes a seam ripper, flashlight, thread clippers, tailor's chalk, needle threader, and mini-flat screwdriver– all housed in bamboo and stainless-steel body. The prototype was developed using metal fabrication and assembly processes and then tested thoroughly for steel quality, corrosion, and ergonomic functionality. Laboratory tests show the tool's dimensions are 2.54cm by 9cm with a thickness of 1.27cm, weighing 185g, thus making it quite light and portable. The function was tested against 50 people drawn from different professional and student backgrounds, and several evaluation criteria were given, such as performance, marketability, and usability. Obtained an average score of 4.53 points on the scale, indicating "Highly Acceptable" and thus market potential. This innovation solves an issue that frequently crops up when people sew, which is finding lost tools. This research highlights the shift technology needs to make in the design process to optimize workflow for the garment industry.

The multi-functional sewing tool, inspired by the Swiss Army knife concept, condenses its
hand-held sewing accessories into a single design. The aspect of this tool includes a seam
ripper, flashlight, thread clippers, tailor's chalk, needle threader, and mini-flat screwdriver–
all housed in bamboo and stainless-steel body. The prototype was developed using metal
fabrication and assembly processes and then tested thoroughly for steel quality, corrosion,
and ergonomic functionality. Laboratory tests show the tool's dimensions are 2.54cm by
9cm with a thickness of 1.27cm, weighing 185g, thus making it quite light and portable.
The function was tested against 50 people drawn from different professional and student
backgrounds, and several evaluation criteria were given, such as performance,
marketability, and usability. Obtained an average score of 4.53 points on the scale,
indicating "Highly Acceptable" and thus market potential. This innovation solves an issue
that frequently crops up when people sew, which is finding lost tools. This research
highlights the shift technology needs to make in the design process to optimize workflow
for the garment industry.
Keywords: Multi-functional sewing tool, ergonomic design, garment industry, Swiss Army
