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. The pattern is in two pieces; you will cut one piece of the main body (placed on the fold of material) and 2 sleeves. 5. Lay the curtain out on a flat surface.

  • Binding: Something Even Lily Does Once in a While
    Binding: Something even Lily does once in a while. Binding on a quilt is the small edging that wraps from front to back, enclosing the raw crust of your quilt sandwich in a nice, finished way. Many people refer to this as a border, or edging, or other terms, but the term “binding” makes it clear to anyone who might be helping you that you are referring specifically to the final step in finishing your quilt. Why bind? You may ask. Some alternatives to binding are flip and sew (when you put the right sides of the quilt and back together, sew around the edge, flip it right sides out, and hand stitch the small opening you left; or bringing the back around to the front and stitching it down. You can finish your quilts like this, and sometimes that's appropriate, but I will say, even as someone who hates binding, there are a couple really good reasons to bind your quilt. The most important questions you should ask yourself when preparing to finish your quilt sandwich is “How long do I want this to last?” followed closely by “How do I want this to look?” I most often hear people want to flip and sew or pull the back around for kids' quilts, citing the fact that it will be dragged around and washed extensively. Well, while we often think that a kids' quilt is not an heirloom or something you want to spend loads of time on, for many a child (this one included), a beloved “baby blankie” might be the center of their very existence for sometime, and then tucked away in a box when all that remains is tatters.

  • 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).
