In the video, a person is using a measuring tape to measure a piece of fabric. The fabric is pink and has a white lace-up detail in the middle. The person measures the width of the fabric by placing the measuring tape horizontally across the fabric and reading the numbers on the tape. The person then measures the length of the fabric by placing the measuring tape vertically along the fabric and reading the numbers on the tape. The person repeats this process several times, measuring different parts of the fabric.
