  • Do You Really Know Your Sewing Pattern Size?
    PERFECT FITGUIDE DO YOU REALLY KNOW YOUR SEWING PATTERN SIZE? Find out how to use your own measurements to determine? your pattern size. SimplicityFITGUIDE_Brochure_2015.indd 1 1/26/15 12:51 PM SIMPLICITY FIT GUIDE A guide for the perfect fit! Do you REALLY know your pattern size? Learn how to use your body measurements to determine your pattern size. Look at Size with New Eyes Begin by discarding any assumptions you may have about what size you wear. Then think about the last time you went clothes shopping. Did every garment in “your” size fit you? Of course not! Standard body measurements vary from one garment manufacturer to another. And the measurements used by your favorite ready-to-wear brands may not correspond to other ready-to wear brands or to the standard body measurements that are used to develop the patterns. The good news is that patterns are based on standard body measurements. Once you have compared your body measurements to the standard body measurements you can choose your pattern size (or sizes) and be all set to sew. 2 www.simplicity.com SimplicityFITGUIDE_Brochure_2015.indd 2 1/26/15 12:51 PM Measure & Compare The way to determine pattern size is to take accurate body measurements, then compare them with the standards. The illustrations and charts on the following pages will take you, step by step, through this process. In some cases, your pattern size may be one or two sizes larger than your ready-to-wear size. But PLEASE don’t let preconceived notions stand in the way of good fit.

  • 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.

  • Sashiko - How To
    Sashiko - How to Basic materials: (1) Fabric : Flat-woven, loose-woven Cotton or cotton/Linen. (2) Waxed carbon paper for transferring pattern (Chacopy© from Clover Co.ltd.,) (3) Soft Tracing Wheel or Tracer Pen (both from Clover Co.Ltd.,) (4) Mid-weight sheet protectors (5) Sashiko needles (6) Thread: Sashiko thread, or Pearl Cotton #8 or #5 Transferring patterns 1). Lay flat the fabric, right side up, and pin the paper pattern on to the fabric. 2). Insert a waxed carbon in between the fabric and the pattern, waxed side down. You may need to take a couple of pins out and place the carbon and re-pin the entire layers. 3). If you would like to protect paper patterns and carbon paper from ripping or damaging by a tracing tool, put a sheet protector on top of paper pattern and pin entire layer. 4). Using a soft edge tracing wheel or Tracer pen, trace the pattern to the fabric. You need to press the wheel down harder to have a clear marking on to the fabric. 5). Carefully remove the pins. The transferred mark will be erased by dabbing with water. The transferred mark will become permanent by applying heat, so do not iron until you are done Sashiko stitching and erase the remaining line with water. How to handle thread One skein of Olympus Sashiko threads is 40 meters long (44 yds). Remove the paper band and open out the skein. Look for the extra loop of thread tied around the skein and cut through all the threads at this point.
