  • Rolled Edge Napkins Created By: Melinda Stephenson
    Beginning Serging: Rolled Edge Napkins Created by: Melinda Stephenson One of the most often used stitches on your serger, apart from the four thread overlock, is the rolled edge. This works beautifully on napkins, as well as for hemming difficult to hem, slippery chiffon. To learn how to serge a rolled hem, start with either 100% cotton, 100% linen or a cotton/linen blend. These natural fabrics work best for napkins as they absorb moisture. Polyester or any synthetic fabric blends are not recommended for making napkins— they just don’t absorb as well. Supplies: • Cotton or linen squares cut to 18 or 20” • Scrap fabric cut from the same linen or cotton • 2 cones serger thread • 1 cone Wooly Nylon • Seam sealant (Fray-Check) 3.

  • Skinny Scarves by SUSAN BECK
    This article originally appeared in Through the Needle ONLINE Issue 9 Skinny Scarves by SUSAN BECK These long, narrow scarves made of t-shirt knit or sheer fabric are fast to make and fun to wear – one, two, or even three at a time! They’re a great item to make for craft fairs and bazaars – and they also make great gifts! Directions Cut a rectangle of fabric 10” wide and 3 yards long. Note: The more lightweight the fabric, the wider the scarf can be (12”-14”). If the fabric has more bulk, you can cut it very narrow (6”-8”). Thread the serger for a 3-thread rolled hem, adjusting the tensions as directed in your user manual. Generally, the needle tension will be normal, the upper looper tension will be loose, and the lower tension will be tight. Sew a sample on fabric scraps to decide if the resulting rolled edge looks the way you want it to. Adjust the settings as needed. Different fabric types and weights may require different tension adjustments for the perfect rolled edge. Serge all four edges of the scarf, starting at one end and serging off the opposite end, and trimming the edge slightly as you go. Supplies • 3 yards of lightweight, sheer, or single knit fabric in polyester, cotton, rayon, or silk (yardage will make 4-6 scarves) • Serger with 2- or 3-thread rolled hem capabilities • Three cones or spools of fine (60-weight) thread to match or blend with the fabric • Seam sealant Tip: Hold your hand lightly on the fabric to the left of Option 3: To wear the foot to make sure the fabric is going under the two or three scarves needle and not falling away after it passes the knife.

  • Historic Costuming Presented by Jill Harrison
    Historic Southern Indiana Interpretation Workshop, March 2-4, 1998 Historic Costuming Presented By Jill Harrison IMPRESSIONS Each of us makes an impression before ever saying a word. We size up visitors all the time, anticipating behavior from their age, clothing, and demeanor. What do they think of interpreters, disguised as we are in the threads of another time? While stressing the importance of historically accurate costuming (outfits) and accoutrements for first- person interpreters, there are many reasons compromises are made - perhaps a tight budget or lack of skilled construction personnel. Items such as shoes and eyeglasses are usually a sticking point when assembling a truly accurate outfit. It has been suggested that when visitors spot inaccurate details, interpreter credibility is downgraded and visitors launch into a frame of mind to find other inaccuracies. This may be true of visitors who are historical reenactors, buffs, or other interpreters. Most visitors, though, lack the heightened awareness to recognize the difference between authentic period detailing and the less-than-perfect substitutions. But everyone will notice a wristwatch, sunglasses, or tennis shoes. We have a responsibility to the public not to misrepresent the past; otherwise we are not preserving history but instead creating our own fiction and calling it the truth. Realistically, the appearance of the interpreter, our information base, our techniques, and our environment all affect the first-person experience. Historically accurate costuming perfection is laudable and reinforces academic credence. The minute details can be a springboard to important educational concepts; but the outfit is not the linchpin on which successful interpretation hangs.

  • Angela Wolf Demonstrates Easy Ways to Sew with Silk
    Series 100 www.itsseweasytv.com 110-1 Angela Wolf demonstrates hemming techniques on silk. Sewing with Silk Charmeuse Supplies: o Pattern: Angela Wolf Patterns #AW-1103 available at www.AngelaWolf.com o Sewing Machine Needle: . Universal 70/10 - Always use a new needle when sewing with silk, this will prevent snagging. o Thread options . Either 100% silk, 100% mercerized cotton, or 100% polyester (listed in order of quality with silk being the first choice) . Use same thread in the bobbin o Clay chalk for marking - DO NOT use wax chalk on silk! o Glass head pins o Iron with steam, check for leaking first as that can stain your silk. Steps o Pre-shrink your fabric: . If you plan on dry cleaning your finished product, take you fabric to your local dry cleaner and ask them to dry clean and "steam press". The steam press will preshrink your fabric. Another option is washing in cold water either by hand or with a delicate cycle. Then either hang to dry or very low heat. I would recommend washing a small swatch of fabric first to test. Washing silk charmeuse will change the hand of the fabric a little, so make sure that is what you want - although you will end up with a very easy to take care of top. o Set up sewing machine with a 2.5 stitch length. Techniques o French seam: . Start with the fabric wrong sides together. Pin your seam. Sew a straight seam with a 1/2 inch seam allowance. Trim seam allowance to just about 1/8th of an inch.

  • Denim – Construction and Common Terminology
    Denim – Construction and Common Terminology Denim Construction Denim is made from rugged tightly woven twill, in which the weft passes under two or more warp threads. Lengthwise, yarns are dyed with indigo or blue dye; horizontal yarns remain white. The yarns have a very strong twist to make them more durable, but this also affects the denim’s color. The yarns are twisted so tightly that the indigo dye usually colors only the surface, leaving the yarns center white. The blue strands become the threads that show on the outside of your denim, and the white are the ones that make the inside of your denim look white. This produces the familiar diagonal ribbing identifiable on the reverse of the fabric. Through wear, the indigo yarn surface gives way, exposing the white yarn underneath which causes denim to fade. Jeans are basic 5 pockets pants, or trousers, made from denim. The word comes from the name of a sturdy fabric called serge, originally made in Nimes, France. Originally called serge de Nimes (fabric of Nimes), the name was soon shortened to denim (de Nimes). Denim was traditionally colored blue with natural indigo dye to Black denim make blue Jeans, though “jean” then denoted a different, lighter cotton textile; the contemporary use of jean comes from the French word for Genoa, Italy, where the first denim trousers were made. Jeans transcend age, economic and style barriers. Washes, embellishments, leg openings and labels fluctuate with fashion whims, but jeans themselves have reached iconic status. Cross hatch denim Common terminology used in Denim fabric construction and processing ANTI-TWIST is a step in the finishing process, before sanforization, that corrects denim’s natural tendency to twist in the direction of the diagonal twill weaves.

  • 1 Segment Title: Serge and Sew a Simple Broomstick Skirt Host
    Segment Title: Serge and Sew a Simple Broomstick Skirt Host: Joanne Banko Serge and Sew a beautiful broomstick skirt! Broomstick style skirts are easy to make, especially when you use the serger to speedily gather long lengths of fabric for the multiple tiers. You may be interested to know that this skirt style was popular with Navajo women in the 1870’s. They would create the tiers from lightweight cotton and sew skirts to wear with their brightly colored peasant style blouses. In the resource list at the end of these instructions you’ll find information about an optional Folkwear commercial pattern for a traditional Navajo blouse, and a one size fits most broomstick skirt. Today it’s common to see broomstick skirts along with trendy “boho” styles in stores and catalogs. This multiple tiered skirt is popular for traveling since the casual pleats or “wrinkles” are characteristic of the style. You can make this skirt using a combination of your serger and sewing machine for a stylish skirt with the look of ready to wear. The instructions presented here are for a skirt customized to your own personal measurements. In an afternoon you can sew this skirt using a three-thread serger stitch along with a simple straight stitch on the sewing machine. As an added bonus you’ll have the satisfaction of being able to say you made it yourself! Follow along as I give you a simple formula for the measurements and take you through each step for making this boho chic skirt! Are you ready? Let’s go sew! Materials and Supplies featured in this episode: The Brother XV8500D Dream Machine with the Sew Straight™ Laser guide for sewing the skirt.
