Bow belt By: Tilly Vanilly http://www.burdastyle.com/projects/bow-belt I made this belt to go with The Birthday Party Dress and have since realised that it goes really well with lots of other stuff in my wardrobe. It’s a great way of using up random strips of fabric, so I plan to make lots more of them! More pics and the original tutorial on my blog. Materials Red gabardine, hooks and eyes Step 1 — Cutting out Cut out three pieces of fabric to the following measurements: 1) Belt – your waist size + 4″ × 4″; 1Bow2) Bow – 12″ × 4.5″; 3) Knot – 3″ × 3″ Step 2 — Interfacing Cut out interfacing the length of your belt minus 1", by 1.5" width. Position it on the wrong side (if you’re using a printed fabric) of the belt as show above – so the bottom edge is along the centre lengthways, with 0.5" seam allowances above and on the sides. Iron or baste onto the belt. Step 3 — Stitch belt Fold the belt in half lengthways, right sides together, so you end up with the interfacing on the outside. Stitch the seam edges with a 0.5" seam allowance (ie. 0.5" from the edges of the fabric), leaving one side open so you can turn the fabric inside out. Trim down the seam edges. 2Step 4 — Turn right side out Turn the belt right side out so the interfacing is on the inside. This is easier said than done! I think you can get special implements for this, but I used a knitting needle. Put the stitched end of the belt on the blunt end of the needle and slowly shimmy the… er… sheath down the length of the needle (ahem). Once it’s about half way on, you should be able to turn the rest right side out quite easily. Now slip stitch the free end and press (iron) the fabric nice and smooth. Step 5 — Bow Fold the bow in half lengthways, right sides together, and stitch along the long edge with a 0.5" seam allowance. Trim seams, turn right side out and stitch the ends shut (you don’t need to slip stitch these as you they won’t be on show). Fold the edges in to the centre of the bow (you can mark this with a pin). Hand baste a few long stitches along this centre line through all thicknesses of the fabric, leaving some thread loose either end, then pull the thread to gather the fabric together a bit, and stitch again but this time a bit tighter to hold the gathers in place. 3Step 6 — Knot Fold the knot in half, right sides together, and stitch along the long edge with a 0.5" seam allowance. Trim seams and turn right side out. Position the seam to the centre of the underside and press, then arrange the knot around the gathered middle of the bow and stitch in place, catching in some of the bow fabric. Step 7 — Hooks and eyes Sew two hooks onto the back of one end of belt. Sew corresponding eyes onto the other end. Because I’m a classy kinda lady, I’ve put two sets of eyes onto mine for pre- and post-lunch roomage options. Oh yes! Sew the bow onto the end with the hooks on (on the opposite side). Step 8 — Et voila! The end! 4StepBow belt .

Tailoring Series TECHNIQUES for TAILORING UNDERLINING a TAILORED GARMENT—Underlining Is a Second Layer of Fabric. It Is Cut By
tailoring series TECHNIQUES FOR TAILORING UNDERLINING A TAILORED GARMENT—Underlining is a second layer of fabric. It is cut by the garment pattern pieces and staystitched to the wrong side of the corresponding outer sections before any seams are joined. The two layers are then handled as one. As a general guide, most suit jackets and coats look more pro- fessional when underlined. Underlining is especially recommended for lightweight wool materials, loosely woven materials and light- colored materials. For additional information on selecting fabrics for underlining and applying the underlining, see Lining a Shirt 01' Dress HE 72, N. C. Agricultural Extension Service. STAYSTITCHING—Staystitch all outer garment pieces before construction begins. If garment is underlined, stays-titching is done when the two layers of fabric are sewn together. Staystitch 1/3 in. outside seamline (on the seam allowance). Stay- stitch “ with matching cotton thread on all curved *areas that may stretch during construction such as necklines, side seams, shoulder seams, armholes, and side seams of skirt. Use directional stitching always to prevent stretching of fabric and to prevent one layer of fabric from riding. The direction to stitch is indicated by small arrows on the pattern on the seamlines. INTERFACINGS—Select a high quality hair canvas for the front and collar of coats and jackets. The percentage of wool indicates the quality—the higher the wool content of the canvas the better the quality. Since a high percentage of wool makes the hair canvas fairly dark in color, it cannot be used successfully under light-colored fabrics. In these cases use an interfacing lighter in color and lower in wool content.

CO Guide to Judging Clothing
Colorado 4-H Guide for Clothing Judges Standards of Quality Clothing Construction Introduction One of our basic tasks in evaluating or judging is to be able to recognize and identify the standards that give a garment a finished, professional look. There are many techniques that can be used to accomplish the same end product. Each of us has techniques that we like and techniques that we dislike. In an objective evaluation it is essential to play down our personal preferences and to build upon identified and accepted standards. In general, there are some standards that apply to almost all techniques. Almost all construction techniques should result in an area, finish or detail that is: • Inconspicuous o Flat and smooth o Free from bulk o Stitching a uniform distance from an edge or fold • Functional • Durable –stitching uniform and secure Specific standards that can be expected in good construction are listed on the following pages. They are organized by techniques and/or areas, and the techniques are presented in alphabetical order. Overall Appearance Be objective when considering the overall appearance and appeal of a garment. It may be helpful to think about there being at least one especially pleasing feature about this garment, reflecting the many hours of though, effort and creativity that went into its construction. It may be the design, fabric, use of unusual technique or detail. Particularly neat and well-done machine or handstitching, etc. o Overall neatness and cleanliness o Plaids, stripes, checks and other designs matched at seams o Fabric with a direction in design or nap issued in garment in one direction unless garment design requires variation.

Placket Construction Options
Placket Construction Options 1 Type1: Two Separate Bound Edges on a rectangular stitching box The key to this structure is that the bindings are initially stitched only to the seam allowances on each side, and NOT stitched across the end, of the clipped box, which means that they, and the clipped triangle at the bottom, remain loose and can be arranged before the nal nishing to go on either side of the fabric, as well as either over or under the other, after joining them at the sides. The widths and lengths of the bindings and the space between the sides of the clipped box determine all the other options available in this most exible of all the placket types I know of. Variation 1: Both bindings t inside the stitching box If you cut the bindings so the nished, folded widths of both are equal to or smaller than the space between the initial stitching lines, as shown above, you can arrange both ends at the clipped corners to all go on one side of the fabric (right or wrong side), along with the clipped triangle on the garment. You’ll get the best results if the underlapping binding is slightly smaller than the overlapping one. This can be man- aged by taking slightly deeper seam allowances when you join this piece, so they can initially be cut from the same strip. Or, you can place one end on each side with the Both ends on RS One end on RS, Both ends on WS triangle sandwiched in between.

Lapped Zipper Lapped Zippers Are Often Found on Skirts at the Waistband
Sewing Technique: Lapped Zipper Lapped zippers are often found on skirts at the waistband. A lapped zipper is constructed so that the zipper is not visible. The zipper will remain closed throughout the process of inserting the zipper. All sewing is done on the inside of the garment except for topstitching. Remember to always keep the needle positioned between the zipper foot and the zipper teeth when sewing. NOTE: Throughout this tutorial, the term “placket” will be used. A placket is the fabric that surrounds and reinforces fasteners in a garment. In this instance, the fastener referred to in this tutorial is a zipper. STEP 1: On the wrong side of the fabric, measure and mark the placket opening BASTING where the zipper STITCH will be placed. Do this by measuring from the top of the garment down along the seam to the zipper bottom stop. Take into consideration the REGULAR composition of garment and if there will be a waistband or MACHINE STITCH any other special feature at the top of the zipper. Mark the placement of the bottom stop with a marking pencil. STEP 2: While sewing the seam, machine stitch the seam closed until the marked point of the bottom of the zipper, backstitch, then switch to a basting stitch for the distance of the placket seam. Press seam allowance open. $-05)*/( CONSTRUCTION 6UBI4UBUFJTBOBóSNBUJWFBDUJPOFRVBMPQQPSUVOJUZJOTUJUVUJPO STEP 3: Replace sewing machine foot with a zipper foot.

Seams for Protective Clothing–An Overview
16 World Journal of Textile Engineering and Technology, 2017, 3, 16-23 Seams for Protective Clothing–An Overview Shanthi Radhakrishnan1,* and Devendra Kumari2 1Department of Fashion Technology, Kumaraguru College of Technology, Tamil Nadu, India 2VCMM Arts and Science College for Women, Tamil Nadu, India Abstract: Specialized clothing is essential for protection against specific environments like fire, heat, cold, chemical, mechanical and biological in nature. Specialized clothing that has been designed and fabricated to face the challenges of these environments is Protective Clothing which is a combination of technical design and functional focus. Seams are most important structures that help to keep a garment intact; they must be strong and have many qualities to hold the garment together in extreme conditions. The type and nature of thread, the model of seam construction and the testing of seams are important for the performance of protective clothing as one loose thread or gap in seams can unravel the space between the person and the environment leaving the person vulnerable. Seams for protective clothing play a critical role since they directly affect the integrity of providing protection, leading to death of the individual. In this paper the different seam construction methods used for protective clothing is being analyzed. Keywords: Protective clothing, specialized environment, ultrasonic seams, seam taping and glueing. 1. INTRODUCTION textiles, medical protective textiles, sports protective textiles and space protective textiles. Personal Protective clothing comes under the technical textile protective textiles can be further classified according to category or products. While all clothing is protective to the end-use functions such as thermal (cold) some degree, concern is not with routine needs, such protection, flame protection, chemical protection, as clothing for warmth, rainwear or routine work mechanical impact protection, radiation protection, clothing.

Belts & Belt Loops
Belts & Belt Loops Belts Fold fabric strip right sides together. Beginning in the middle of one long side, stitch to one end. Beginning about 10cm from the previous starting point, stitch to the other long end. Grade seam allowance and clip curves and corners as needed. Turn belt right side out through opening in long side. Press. Edgestitch entire outer edge of belt; opening will be stitched closed at the same time. If desired, topstitch 7mm inside edgestitching. Make eyelets at indicated positions, or apply grommets following manufacturer’s instructions. Tip: If your sewing machine has pre-programmed eyelets, use them to stitch the eyelets on your belt. Another option is an eyelet embroidery set (BERNINA Eyelet Embroidery Set #82 with Foot #92). Attach belt buckle according to manufacturer’s instructions. Tip: Most belt buckles are attached by folding one end of the belt around the bar in the middle of the buckle, then stitching or bartacking the end in place. Making Belt Loops Overlock one long edge of belt loop strip. Fold strip into thirds, overlapping raw edges at the center of the strip. Edgestitch both long sides. Tip: Instead of edgestitching, sew a decorative stitch through the center of the folded strip. Cut into required lengths. Alternate Method This technique is effective for heavy fabrics. Fold the strip in half, wrong sides together. Using a blind stitch and a blind hem foot (BERNINA Blindstitch Foot #5), stitch along the raw edges, catching the fabric in the zigzag portion of the stitch, letting the straight stitches sew “in air.” Refold with the stitching at the center back of the strip; press.

Three different Style 11 sets are documented, but they are all dated after the Style 12 set! All three style 11 manuals describe a foot hemmer, but none of the box illustrations or the lists of attachments include it. As I think it is likely that Singer produced sets chronologically this reissue suggests that there is at least one other, earlier style 11 set. 40 Singer, 1893b. 41 Singer, 1895a. 42 Singer, 1899. 29 Style 11: 1901 reissue 43 New tuck-marker on page 14 of the instruction manual.
