Icandy-Handmade.Com ______ icandy-handmade.com _______________________________________________________________________________ icandy-handmade.com _______________________________________________________________________________ Materials: • Approx. ½ - ¾ yard fabric (depending on the size) for a child, more for an adult • Matching thread • Trim • Existing loose fitting woven top as a pattern guide Tutorial: 1. Make Pattern • Find an existing woven top that is loose fitting. Make sure the neckline can fit over your child’s head or find another top that does, even if the shape is not right. • Fold the top in half vertically and lay out on pattern paper. I use medical exam paper. icandy-handmade.com _______________________________________________________________________________ • Mark how long you want your poncho to be on your pattern paper. Mark the width of your top at the side seam plus 1/4”. • Draw a straight line from the edge of the pattern paper parallel to and right on the edge of the shoulder seam. Extend it about 2-3” past the edge of your shoulder seam, depending on the age of your child. Use 2” for younger children and 3” for older children. • Mark the neckline on your pattern paper. If the neckline doesn’t fit over the child’s head without opening a closure, use a neckline from a different top as your guide. Or you can just make the curve deeper and wider. icandy-handmade.com _______________________________________________________________________________ • You should now have your hemline marked, the width marked, your shoulder marked and your neckline marked. • Using a curved ruler, create a shape similar to this one. Or you can change up the design, do a pointed hem, or even a square hem. Using the line you drew as a guide, curve the sleeve down slightly. Connect that line with the side of your poncho. The side should start out wider at the top and curve in a bit toward the body. Make sure the width of the poncho is as wide as where you marked earlier so it fits. Connect the dots and draw your neckline. • Add pattern markings- you will be cutting 2 of these out on the center fold. icandy-handmade.com _______________________________________________________________________________ • Add seam/hem allowances. I added 3/8” to the neckline, shoulder seams and side/hem. Do not add to center front as it is cut on the fold. • Create your neck facing: o Lay a piece of tracing or pattern paper on top of your neckline. o Trace your neckline (where you added the seam allowance) Trace a bit of the shoulder seam on the seam allowance line (I like narrow facings so I just added about 1 ¼”, but you can make it wider) and the same amount of the center front line. Draw a curved line parallel to your neckline to complete the facing. o Mark facing with center front fold line and you will need to cut 2 each, of fabric and fusible light weight interfacing. icandy-handmade.com _______________________________________________________________________________ 2. Cut out your pattern pieces. • Lay your main pattern piece on your folded fabric, matching center front on the fold. You can use weights and a rotary cutter, or pins and scissors to cut out 2 – a front and a back. • Lay your neck facing on your folded fabric, matching center front on the fold. Cut out 2 of your main fabric, and 2 out of light weight fusible interfacing. icandy-handmade.com _______________________________________________________________________________ 3. Neck Facing • Take your 2 facing pieces, and iron on your interfacing, bumpy side down. Make sure your interfacing is totally fused onto your main fabric facing pieces. • With fabric right sides together, stich shoulder seams together, using same seam allowance as you added to your pattern. • Press seams open. icandy-handmade.com _______________________________________________________________________________ • Finish edges of facing with overlock stitch, zig zag stitch or serger. 4. Sew Poncho Together • Finish edges of both poncho pattern pieces with overlock stitch, zig zag stitch or serger. Finish all edges except neckline. • With fabric right sides together, stich shoulder seams together, using same seam allowance as you added to your pattern. Press shoulder seams open. icandy-handmade.com _______________________________________________________________________________ • With fabric right sides together, lay neck facing on top of the main neckline. Pin facing to neckline all around it. Make sure your shoulder seams are matching. • Stitch all around neckline using same seam allowance as you added to your pattern. • Trim neckline seam to 1/8” wide. • Turn facing to inside of the poncho and press well. • Topstitch facing down all around neckline. icandy-handmade.com _______________________________________________________________________________ • Stitch a line all around the side/hemline of your poncho, front and back. Stitch right at your seam line. I used a 3/8” seam allowance so I sewed my line 3/8” from the edge. • Press edges of side/hemline toward wrong side of the fabric, using that seam as your pressing guide. There might be some slight overlap at the curves, but do your best to have a smooth curve. Press well. • Stitch hem down all around the poncho. icandy-handmade.com _______________________________________________________________________________ • Add trim all around the side/hemline. I used pom pom trim, and laid it down right under the hem and stitched it down with a zig zag stitch. Using a thin trim will be much easier around the curves than a thick trim. icandy-handmade.com _______________________________________________________________________________ • Fold poncho in half horizontally. Match the bottom hem with the shoulder seam. • Mark the halfway mark on each side. • If your poncho is extra long, you might want to bring the mark closer to the shoulder seam. Just make sure it is well below the armpit. icandy-handmade.com _______________________________________________________________________________ • Right at where you marked the side of your poncho, stitch a ½” line right along the edge. Go back and forth several times to make sure it is an extra strong seam. • Repeat on other side. • This is where the poncho front connects to the back on the sides, leaving the bottom open. A tank or other top will need to be worn underneath. **That’s it! You are done. This is an easy project that can be completed in a few hours.** .

  • 2013 Proceedings New Orleans, Louisiana 70 Years of Fashion In
    New Orleans, Louisiana 2013 Proceedings 70 Years of Fashion in the Chinese Dress—Exploring Sociocultural influences on Chinese Qipao’s Hemline Height and Waistline Fit in 1920s-1980s Lushan Sun, University of Missouri, USA Melody LeHew, Kansas State University, USA Keywords: Chinese, qipao, hemline, waistline The evolving dynasties and periods in Chinese history have always been accompanied with unique changes in its dress. Under the globalized society today, Chinese fashion has also left its footprint in the international fashion industry through which the world gains further understanding of the Chinese culture. The Chinese dress for woman, qipao or cheongsam in Cantonese, has evolved through a variety of silhouettes and styles under the quick changing cultural environment in the 1900s. Today, it has been accepted and internationally recognized as the distinctive national dress for the Chinese woman. According to the principle of historical continuity, “each new fashion is an outgrowth or elaboration of the previously existing fashion” (Sproles, 1981, p.117). Qipao may be traced back as early as Shang dynasty (1600-1046 B.C.) in a form of long robe, and it has flourished through different cultures and dynasties and periods in China (Liu, 2009). Its most commonly known origin lies in Qing dynasty (1644-1911) in the Chinese feudal society. Elements of both Manchu and Han ethnic dresses contributed in shaping the original qipao style during this time. The Republican Era (1911-1949), a transitional time from the feudal to modern Chinese society, accompanied with revolutionary changes in qipao styles. During this period, qipao was the main site of woman’s fashion and became “a stage for debates about sex, gender roles, aesthetics, the economy, and the nation” (Finanne, 2007, p.141).

  • 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.

  • 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 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. 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. Fold over 29" along the side of the curtain (see cutting diagram). 6. Place the main body of the pattern as marked with the center front on the fold an pin in place.

  • ZIPPERS ACKNOWLEDGMENT Thanks Are Due to Mrs
    UNIVERSITY OF HAWAII . COOPERATIVE EXTENSION SERVICE' HOME ECONOMICS CIRCULAR 352 ZIPPERS ACKNOWLEDGMENT Thanks are due to Mrs. Helene Horimoto for her cooperation in serving as the mod e 1 for the photographs, as well as for her secre­ tarial assistance. The professional coopera­ tion in photography by Masaru Miyamoto of the Office of University Relations and Develop­ ment is also acknowledged. , ZIPPERS GERTRUDE P. HARRELL Extension Specialist in Clothing Zippers are being used in a large majority of our garments today. Various types of zip­ pers are on the market and one needs to select the kind that is most suitable for the garment. The coil zipper is thinner and is good to use in your synthetic garments and especially with the wash and wears, because hot iron will not come in contact with the zipper. If you are making a garment that is going to be ironed or pressed with a hot iron, it would be preferable to select a metal zipper or a coil zipper with tape backing. In selecting the length of the zipper, check your pattern, since most will give you the desired length; but you must consider if you will need just a little longer zipper in the back of a garment if you plan to step into and out of it. Some times a 22-inch zipper is not quite long enough and yet a 24 -inch zipper is too long. Put in a 24-inch zipper and Simply let the extra 1 inch of the zipper remain unnoticed and unstitched from the outside.
