  • That Was a T-Shirt!!! We Need Tops! While Cotton Tops Are Easy to Make, Knit Tops Are the Most Versatile Due to the Forgiving Stretch
    That was a t-shirt!!! We need tops! While cotton tops are easy to make, knit tops are the most versatile due to the forgiving stretch. Because of the challenges in working with knit fabric, updating a t-shirt is the perfect compromise. Our goal is to have someone look at our top and say “that was a t-shirt?!” All hemlines need to be removed and restyled and the neckline needs to be either ruffled (size small and some medium) or trimmed. Here are some guidelines that we are looking for. Simply sewing a decorative stitch or zigzag over the existing hemline (sleeves and bottom hem) does not make visual changes to the t-shirt. Please cut off the existing hemline and if you like, you can make it shorter. If you have a serger, you can finish the edge prior to hemming but because the knit does not ravel it is not necessary. You also do not need to turn over the edge prior to hemming. Sleeves Match the sleeves and cut off both hems at the same time. You can cut straight or at an angle and make it a cap sleeve Use a decorative stitch for the hemming, variegated thread looks great! Use either white or black thread in the bottom as variegated thread is expensive. Remember to sew on the right side with your finger on the bottom feeling for the fabric edge. Watch for those sales and coupons!! Sulky blendables, 30 weight, 100% cotton is very nice to use. If you hem with a straight stitch, make it a little longer perhaps 3.0 and add some elastic to make it gathered at the hem edge.

  • Shower Curtain Gown Pattern " " 46 43.5
    SHOWER CURTAIN GOWN PATTERN " " 46 43.5 FRONT BACK Opens in Back FRHS.ORG GOWN INSTRUCTIONS ITEMS NEEDED: A. 1 - 72" x 70" polyester, water resistant shower curtain. B. Thread, pins, scissors etc. C. Pattern and instructions 1. Beware that this pattern and instructions are designed to be simple and fast. The gown is for function and protection not style; this means that there are some short cuts that you may not normally use in your sewing. 2. The sleeve is designed with a “thumb hole”; the staff will place their thumb into the hole as they don the gown. This holds the sleeve down over their hand as they put on their gloves so that they are better protected. The “thumb hole” is formed by using the seam allowance of the bottom 3" of the seam to bind the edges and leave that 3" open. 3. You will leave all of the hems in place and use them as the edges of the gown EXCEPT for the top of the curtain with the holes for the shower curtain hooks. That you may remove and discard. 4.

  • Dress with Slanted Closure

You will also need: fusible interfacing; 5 buttons; 1 inner button. Seam allowances: seam allowance for hem of garment — 2.0 cm, other seams – 1.0 cm. Note on seam allowances: - If the pattern has double contour the seam allowances are included. They are 1 cm unless specified otherwise. - If the pattern has single contour, the seam allowances are NOT included and need to be added when laying out the pattern. Note on length of fabric: Attention! The amount of fabric needed for your pattern is not included. It will depend on the selected pattern size, the width, and design of the fabric you plan to use. First, print all the paper patterns and lay them out at the width of fabric you plan to use (usually from 90 to 150 cm). Measure how much fabric you will need. Don't forget to account for pieces that need to be cut multiple times and pieces that are cut on the fold. CUTTING: Note on cutting: On the pattern pieces, “beam” means straight of grain. Lay out your pieces accordingly. Some pieces will be cut on the fold. This is noted on the pattern piece. Mark all notches and other design features such as pleats etc. from the pattern onto your fabric. When sewing the garment, pay attention to notches, they must match up. Main fabric: 1.

  • No More Having
    Here is your key to adjusting those store-bought tops, dresses, and formal gowns so you can actually wear them! No more having to pass up a beautiful garment because it is too low, strapless, or sleeveless! With these instructions you’ll be able to take a piece of clothing from immodest to modest in half an hour or less. The first solution for a low necked top is to fill it in with either a panel of stretch lace trim or an insert of cotton knit (generally suitable for knits or stretchy lace garments only.) The second option is to adjust the shoulder seams to pull the neckline up higher. I’ve given detailed instructions for this alteration on a couple different styles of tops. With either of these methods you can easily make a neckline three or four inches higher! Method 1 Filling in a V-Neckline with a Panel of Fabric You will need: ¼ yard of 100% cotton knit fabric (interlock or jersey) - preshrunk Thread to match the garment Basic sewing supplies (pins, measuring tape, ruler, etc.) Fabric marker Here we have a v-neck knit top that is way too low to wear. 1. 2. 1. Measure from the lowest part of the neckline to the point you want the neckline to be filled in to. Mark with a pin. 2. Using the pin as your reference point, measure across the width of the neckline, adding at least ¾ of an inch on each side for seam allowance. 3. With these measurements in hand, we can now cut our panel out of the fabric.

  • Lining Techniques... Made Easy
    CT-MMB.004 Lining Techniques Jacket and Coat Linings Made Easy A garment lining is generally referred to and treated as a “supportive” fabric. As a rule, a lining eliminates the need for time-consuming seam finishes while lengthening the life and durability of the fashion garment. According to Kathleen Spike, noted clothing writer, “Nothing places a garment in the ‘custom’ or ‘couture’ category as distinctly as a professionally applied lining.” 1 Lining – a separate, but attached inner layer of fabric construction which conceals or covers the inside garment construction. STANDARDS OF A WELL-MADE/APPLIED GARMENT LINING A suitable lining fabric: Is compatible with garment fabric in terms of care and fiber content. It can be cleaned in the same manner as the garment. Can be either woven or knit fabric as long as it is compatible with the garment fashion fabric. Permits and accommodates the necessary “give” and recovery needed for body movement. Is firm, yet not bulky; colorfast to perspiration and body oils; absorbent or “breathable.” Is opaque so as not to see the inside construction of the garment. Matches or coordinates with the garment fashion fabric. Has a smooth surface texture to permit the garment to be taken on and off the body with ease. Weight is the same or somewhat lighter and softer than the fashion fabric so as not to dominate the fashion garment. Is preshrunk (pre-washed or dry-cleaned) prior to cutting. The completed lining: Is cut sufficiently larger than the fashion garment to provide length and width fitting ease (generally at center back, armhole, hem edge, elbow, sleeve hem, shoulder).

  • Narrow Binding on Necklines in Knit Fabrics
    Narrow Binding on Necklines in knit fabrics I enjoy sewing with knits and I am always looking for interesting neckline treatments to finish off the edge of a knit top. The binding technique which I am going to demonstrate is one of my favorites and gives a neat finish to any raw edge. Whenever the pattern says to turn under the raw edge and topstitch, ignore it and follow these instructions. So here's how I do it. Deepika Prakash (Founder, PatternReview.com) Step 1: Measure the circumference of the neck or armhole on the stitching line (not on the cut edge). For example let’s say its 26.5 inches. Now add 1/2" more to this (for 1/4" seam allowances). So our total is now 27". Step 2: How stretchy is your knit? If it has 50% or more stretch in the crosswise direction you can easily subtract 2" (sometimes even more from this measurement. Otherwise subtract 1" from it. So let’s say we are doing this on a rayon knit with spandex which has over 50% stretch, our final measurement is 25". Now cut one strip (two if this is for the armholes) on the crosswise grain of fabric. Width of the strip should be roughly 4 times the final width of the binding. This binding will be seen from the right side of the fabric. I usually do 3/8" or 1/4" bindings so I'll cut my strip 1" X 25" . Step 3: Sew the binding strip in a circle; joining the short ends together (Right sides together).
