  • 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.

  • Primary-Grade Students' Knowledge and Thinking About Clothing As a Cultural Universal
    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 439 072 SO 031 485 AUTHOR Brophy, Jere; Alleman, Janet TITLE Primary-Grade Students' Knowledge and Thinking about Clothing as a Cultural Universal. SPONS AGENCY Spencer Foundation, Chicago, IL. PUB DATE 1999-00-00 NOTE 253p. PUB TYPE Reports Research (143) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC11 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS Action Research; American Indian History; *American Indians; Curriculum Development; Educational Philosophy; Educational Research; Elementary Education; *Elementary School Students; Qualitative Research; *Social Studies; *Student Attitudes; *United States History IDENTIFIERS *Native Americans ABSTRACT This paper summarizes responses of students in grades K-3 to questions about Native Americans. The paper draws on findings from two studies, both done in a suburban school system deemed "average" on a variety of educational and socioeconomic indicators. In each study, samples of students stratified by gender and achievement level were interviewed individually about topics addressed in social studies. Analyses focused not just on the accuracy of responses, but on their qualitative nuances that provided insights into students' ideas, including their misconceptions. Responses across grades K-3 suggest that students' knowledge and thinking about Native Americans tends to proceed through the following stages:(1) no knowledge;(2) cartoon stereotypes of the appearance or behavior of Indians; (3) Indians as the first people in America, wilderness survivors, and teachers of and learners from the Pilgrims and other early Europeans; (4) knowledge about Indians' lives and cultures and empathy with them as noble ecologists and victims of European aggression and greed; and (5) distancing and loss of empathy as attention shifts to the pioneers and the westward expansion of the United States.

  • 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.

The Serpentine Essence of a Chancay Gauze Headdress Jessica Gerschultz [email protected] A small but fascinating Chancay gauze fragment in the collection of the Michael C. Carlos Museum stands out as an exemplary object that embodies the symbolic associations and aesthetic principles of the Peruvian coastline during the Late Intermediate Period (Fig. 1).1 Its weave structure, production process, iconography, and polychromy unite in reinforcing the protective and regenerative purposes of the original headdress. Consisting of variably spun threads knotted together, its unique discontinuous warp relates to its function in funerary and ceremonial contexts. Significantly, its weaver pushed beyond technical limitations to bring together the laborious techniques of gauze weaving and discontinuous warping in a single textile.2 The result of this ingenious yet unpublished technical combination was a “jumping” serpentine figure on an indigo background.

    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.
