Adapting Patterns ADAPTING PATTERNS If you've decided to dress-make because you're frustrated with high street clothes not fitting well ,then you will probably need to learn some basic pattern alteration skills Getting the fit right is trial an error, and PRACTISE! Give yourself time, and allow yourself to make some mistakes. Even as a professional seamstress I still make some rookie mistakes and boo boo's! ALWAYS use your actual body measures, and compare to the size chart of the pattern company you've chosen! Please don't assume your high street size is your pattern size, sometimes it might be, but more often it's not Before you get started, try on some of the clothes in your closet that don't fit you well and analyze where the fit is poor. Making a note of these issues will help you think about what fitting skills you need to learn. If you're making for yourself you don't need to learn every alteration under the sun! Take some time to understand ease and how finished garment measures can help you really fine tune the fit of clothes and sizing Suggested further reading Perfect fit-Simple clear photos. Although dated, it’s an easy to use book Fit for real people -this book has lots of fitting tips for all figures but doesn’t include trousers.

N0 8 N0 1 How to choose your correct pattern size The most important thing to remember about sewing from Commercial patterns is that the sizing is VERY DIFFERENT to High street ready to wear sizes. Generally pattern sizes are about 2 sizes smaller than British High Street sizing. The only way you can get good fitting clothes from a pattern is to compare your own body HOW TO MEASURE YOURSELF measurements with the size chart provided on the pattern. For example if you wear a UK 10, then you may need a pattern size 14 in vogue, a 16 in burda, and an 6 in a collette pattern. The sizing varies across all pattern companies, so always start with your own body measurements I like to think of this as Step 1 in the process, as depending on the amount of ease in a pattern I may choose a bigger or smaller size based on my personal preference for how loose or tight I want the garment to be. Use my blank measurement chart below, to make a note of your own measurements You need to make a note of an CLOSEST PATTERN SIZE MY MEASUREMENTS TO MY MEASUREMENTS unfamilar measurement on your personal chart, which is the high bust. 1 Make sure you’re wearing close-fitting clothes This helps determine whether or not BUST WAIST HIPS like a vest top and tights, or underwear. you need to make bust adjustments to ▼ HIGH BUST: THIS IS YOUR CHEST MEASUREMENT AND IS the pattern.

When choosing a size, you should consider the amount of “Design Ease” that’s been allowed in a pattern. Design Ease is the amount of extra fabric in the garment over and above your own body measurements. If you compare your actual measures plus wearing ease with the finished garment measures for each pattern you use, you’ll be able to see how fitted or baggy the garment will be. You can choose to go up a size if the pattern has come up tight, or down a size if the pattern seems very loose. CL' s Top Tip: Use your tape measure around your body at the finished garment measurement to really see if this is the size that suits you. N0 2 Demystifying pattern markings If you’ve never used a sewing pattern before, you may be baffled by all the marks and symbols printed onto the pattern. Pattern terminology is a bit like learning a new language. Unlike a language, however, there’s a limited number of terms or symbols to learn, so it’s really quick to pick it up.

  • 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.

  • Sewing on Today's Fabrics E Bonded and Laminated Fabrics Definitions: 0 Bonded Fabrics—Fabrics Formed by Sealing Together Tw
    Sewing on Today’s Fabrics E Bonded and Laminated Fabrics Definitions: 0 Bonded Fabrics—fabrics formed by sealing together two previously constructed fabrics. 0 Laminated Fabrics—fabrics formed by backing them with polyurethane foam. Fabric Selection and Preparation: 0 Check grain. Off grain fabrics can never be returned to grain perfection. '0 Bonded fabrics may separate when drycleaned. Check labels to see if manufacturer guarantees the bond. - Preshrink bonded fabric, if necessary. Pattern Selection: Simple designs are best. Avoid intricate seams and details. 0 Easing is not possible on laminates. Raglan, kim-ona or sleeveless styles are best. Set-in sleeves may be used for soft and pliable "bonded fabrics if sleeve pattern has small amount of ease in the cap. - Darts, instead of gathers, are best in bonded fabrics that are fairly stiff. Laying Pattern and Cutting: Steam fabric to remove wrinkles. 0 Lay pattern pieces on right side of fabric. Follow grainline of right side of fabric, if possible. Often half the fabric is on true grain; the other half is finished off grain. If possible, cut garment and facing in one to eliminate this seam. 0 When cutting laminated fabric, it is often necessary to cut only one thickness at a time. Marking: 0 Tailor’s tacks are usually best. Tracing wheel and carbon may be used if it will mark and if it will not damage fabric. Test carbon method before using. Thread and Needle Selection: i 0 If lightweight fabric, use size 9 or 11 sewing machine needle. If heavyweight fabric, use size 14 machine needle.
