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.

The project is sponsored by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), and has been named the Apparel Product Data Exchange Standard (APDES) project. The APDES project utilizes the techniques being used by and developed for the Standard for the Exchange of Product Model Data (STEP). STEP is an emerging international standard for representing the physical and functional characteristics of a product throughout the product’s life cycle. Formal standards for STEP are being published under the auspices of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in the document series 10303-X. Many of the information requirements, as well as the software tools being developed to support STEP, are applicable for any manufacturing industry.
