Vaune's November Newsletter Vaune’s November Newsletter www.vaune.com [email protected] 805-529-5005 Where I’ll Be....... ovember is here, with December just around the Feb. 15-17, 2011 corner. It is hard to believe that 2010 is coming to a N Zia Sun Smockers close! I have already started to make my list and check it Albequerque, NM twice. I don’t usually like to be an early bird for Christ- mas, but we go to my in-laws every year for Thanksgiving March 3-6, 2011 and take our Christmas things along with, thus the lists! Sewing & Stitcher Expo I have already started my baking list also. I do a fair Puyallup, WA amount of baking (I shared my recipe last year for Mrs. Marshall’s Coffee Cake). My kitchen smells wonderful for June 24-26, 2011 weeks! ‘Berry Good Smockers it was lovely to see some of you at the ETACalifornia presents Gail Doane show! I was excited to see some of the clothes that were Santa Barbara, CA exhibited that incorporated different forms of smocking. A bit here and dash there can really add a bit of pizzazz to July 29-31, 2010 your garments! Long Beach Quilt Show I am working on my basic yoke pattern that should Long Beach, CA be ready at the beginning of the year - besides the clas- sic yoke dress with a peter pan collar, it will also include October 11-16, 2011 a scalloped collar and a square collar. This is my favorite SAGA Convention style of smocked dress, so I am excited about this! A basic Anaheim, CA apron pattern and a few others will trickle out in 2011! Check inside for some new additions (black German Interfacing and Baby Dimity) as well as some favorites. It is also your chance to order the children’s dress manne- quin.

Please send me an email for the size(s) that you want. Cotton......Cotton crop failures in other parts of the world have caused cotton prices to be higher than they have been since the Civil War! While that may be wonderful for our cotton farmers, that translates to higher prices for goods made with cotton (and yes that includes fabric)! A recent article in the Los Angeles Times Business section said that so far, the price of cotton has increased +153%. Clothing manufacturers have al- ready planned increases of up to 20% on their cotton items. Keep that in mind as you are making your list of sewing projects for next year! Special Sale! For those of you that have a Sit Upon Hoop (pictured at left), you know how wonderful it is to stitch ‘hands free’! The Sit Upon hoop consists of 2 parts: the base and a ‘Hoop on a Stick’. The Hoops on a Stick are interchangeable, so you do not have to buy a base anytime you want a different sized hoop. One of my distributors is discontinuing their 10 inch and 12 inch Hoops on a Stick, so I am passing this savings along to you. Remember, this does not include the base (base is available for $30 each) 10” Hoop on a Stick Reg $42 Sale $26 12” Hoop on a Stick Reg $48 Sale $28 ( 6” HoaS, Reg $33,sale $30 7” HoaS, Reg $36,sale $33) The Library Shelf Another wonderful issue of Inspirations, #68.

I have often come across dimity when I am reading about the late 1800’s and early 1900’s but had not come across it in any fabric stores or at any textile shows until now. Usually 100% cotton, it is woven with stripes down the length of the fabric. According to the wonderful reference book “All About Cotton”, dimity is a sheer, lightweight cotton fabric with lengthwise cords made by weaving groups of warp threads together. If groups are made in both directions, a check is created. Now you know!

Original uneven hemline - bound slits at side seams Mannequin 2: The Periwinkle Shirt 1. Symmetrical/Formal balance 2. Curved line of inset check knit shirt flows over the shoulder/sleeve seam - had to stitch shoulder seams, insert sleeves before working the check shirt ‘fill-in’ at the chest. 3.

Use of polo collar - wrong side as ‘outside’ to not show ‘worn’ folded edge of collar. 6. Bias is ALWAYS better/more flattering - check shirt inset. 7. ALWAYS stay-stitch neckline edges. 8.

Anna Marie White -- Extension Clothing Specialist and Home Economics Program Coordinator Sewing, like much of life, has its ups and downs. Sewing ups and downs might be thought of as successes or frustrations, but the ups and downs referred to here are intended to prevent frustration at the sewing machine during garment construction. How fabrics or sections of the garment are placed when being machine stitched often affects the outcome of the stitching. It often makes a difference which layer of fabric is placed up and which one is down on the bed of the machine when stitching is done.

  • 01Kimono Sleeve with Yoke
    CB BACK *All values are given in cm. 90 45 This instruction is developed from the basic dress block, which is fitted to the sleeve and the basic dress sleeve. Before beginning this sleeve, place the alignment (bust dart) of the front into the waist dart. You can move it later as needed. You must also now decide whether to remove or keep the shoulder dart on the back. In our illustration we have chosen to keep the shoulder dart. Draw a line from the shoulder point on your sleeve that divides the sleeve into two pieces. Be aware that this line is perpendicular to the bicep line. Shoulder SIH point WC Instruction 9 Start by drawing a right angle in the upper right side of the paper. The BACK angle should be in a size so the pattern pieces can be placed along it as shown in the figure. Then draw a guide line that divides the angle into two 9 equal parts (45 degrees). Mark the match points on the pattern pieces. Measure 9 cm downwards BIC the armhole from the shoulder seam on front and back. Then from the match point, measure the remaining of both armholes. The value for FRONT these measures is then inserted on the sleeve from the sleeve seams and up along the sleeve cap on the side that belong to front and back respec- tively. This is marked with the symbol O on the figure, which means equal FRONT SIH CF length. Place the pattern pieces onto the angle. Start by placing the back with CB DRESS SLEEVE along one side of the angle and the sleeve so the line at the shoulder EB point lies along the 45-degree guide line.
