  • 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.

    Contestant # Reader Script Leah, from the Central Kansas District, wanted to sew a nice, simple dress this year. The easy-care, floral fabric caught her eye when she noticed one of her favorite colors, corral. The pattern she chose proved to be more challenging than anticipated. However, once she deciphered a portion of the instructions, the difficulties slipped away. The full skirt makes for a very comfortable fit. Now she has a beautiful dress to wear to her senior 1 Brooklyn Hahn homecoming dance this fall. Strut your stuff; here comes Tamara, from Shawnee County, in her Senior prom dress. She graduated from Shawnee Heights High School this past May and is attending K-State, for Apparel and Textiles. Tamara loves the uniqueness of her dress, as she is the designer. She went dress shopping but never found a dress she loved so she took all the ideas she had and combined them into a one-of-kind dress. She has accessorized her dress with a belt that she created by hand stitching three strands of trim to a piece of ribbon. She has also paired her dress with a sparkly necklace and earrings as well as matching silver sparkly heels and a corsage made by her Grandma. Looking good Tamara! 3 Brooklyn Hahn Faith from Reno County knew that the wide ombre plaid she choose for this dress would need a limited amount of seems to get everything to match so she combined 2 different patterns to get the look she wanted. She used one pattern to create the bodice and a second pattern for the skirt.

  • 2000 Proceedings Cincinnati, OH
    Cincinnati, OH USA 2000 Proceedings DOGWOOD IN GREEN AND GOLD Tammy Abbey Central Washington University, Ellensburg, WA 98926 The purpose in creating this piece is to design an elegant garment through the combination of two very different techniques, metalsmithing and sewing. This design was inspired by extensive study in both metalworking and sewing and by blooming dogwood. The garment can be described as a dark green, fully lined dress in a polyester crepe satin. It is designed with princess lines and a gold charmeuse godet in the back. The dress is strapless and supported by the metal "lace." The "lace" is formed with brass blossoms and leaves that wrap the shoulders and overlap the front and the back of the dress. Brass blossoms also accent the godet. Construction began with an original pattern which was hand drafted. A muslin test garment was sewn, fitted and used to adjust the pattern. The main body of the dress was sewn and an invisible zipper was installed. A godet was sewn into the back. A polyester lining was sewn and then added to the dress. After the body of the dress was completed, the metal work began. Blossoms and leaves were cut from sheet brass. Then each was individually chased (hand shaped with the use of hammers and tools.) The pieces were given a copper patina (coloring) and brass brushed to a matte golden color. A dress form was used to assemble a base web of brass chain onto which the blossoms were sewn into place with thread and wire. Two blossoms and chain were added in the back to accent the godet and to contain it.
