Explanation:

Question 2 (Tool: fabric shears)

Step1: Identify the tool

The image shows scissors (fabric shears) along with a tape measure and a pin cushion. Fabric shears are used for cutting fabric.

Step2: Describe its use

In a sewing project, fabric shears are used to cut fabric pieces according to the pattern or required dimensions. They are designed for clean, precise cuts on fabric to ensure accurate sewing pieces.

Step1: Recall safety pin use

A safety pin is a common sewing notion. Its primary use in sewing (or generally) is to temporarily hold fabric pieces together, fasten clothing (like fixing a tear temporarily), or hold patterns in place on fabric.

Step2: Formulate the use

In a sewing project, a safety pin can be used to hold fabric layers together temporarily before sewing, or to fasten a garment in case of a quick repair, or to attach a pattern to the fabric.

Step1: Understand needle eye

The eye of a sewing needle is the small hole at the top (opposite the point). Its purpose is to allow thread to be threaded through it.

Step2: Describe its use

In hand sewing, the eye of the needle is used to thread the sewing thread through it so that the thread can be used to stitch fabric. Without threading the eye, sewing with the needle is not possible.

Answer:

Tool: fabric shears
Use: to cut fabric for sewing projects
