  • 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.

Darts can be horizontal, vertical or anywhere in between, straight or curved, but the stitching principles are the same. BThe goal of quality dart stitching is smooth, pucker-free points that don’t call attention to themselves. SHAPING A single-point dart is shaped like a triangle, and when stitched it takes a wedge of fabric out of the garment allowing for controlled fullness at the point. A single dart may be on the lengthwise fabric grain, angled or slightly curved. (1) A double-point or contour dart is diamond or rugby ball shaped, and is used to shape the waistline, leaving fullness at both ends for the bust and hip. (2) A French dart is a curved shape from the garment side seam to the bustline. This dart has cut edges joined like a seam. (3) V9082 Vintage Vogue, 1960. Misses’ A5(6-8-10-12-14) E5(14-16-18-20-22).

    Put up your hand if you're not a fan of this season's snow pack. If You Admire the View, You Are a Friend Of Kananaskis Sorrel Holmes, "Jagged Peaks". FOKC 2013 Photo Contest Top 12 In this month's newsletter... January Trail Care update: Planning for 2014 News from the Board News from your Society: Board changes, our new Speaker's series, We're hiring, and more Research in K-Counry using Wildlife Cameras - an interview with John P. The Movies of Kananaskis: A Pink Floyd music video? January Trail Care Update: Planning for 2014 by Derek Ryder, Co-Chair As Rosemary is off for a while tending to some family matters, I get to try and update you on our winter progress. As we don’t do trail care projects in the winter, what we do instead is spend time planning for the next season, which includes writing grant applications. On December 4th 2013, we sat down with staff from Alberta Parks and took a look back at the successes and learnings for 2013, plus opportunities for 2014. It was a really productive conversation. Here are some highlights: In 2013, we surprised ourselves with the success of mid-week projects, including many that were multi-day. We held very few weekend projects in 2013. Previous years had seen single day, weekend only projects. The challenge with that success is that feedback from you suggests that many of you can only make weekend projects. The good news for 2014 and the next few years is that, in the context of flood recovery, Parks trail staff will be working 7 days a week, enabling both mid- week and weekend volunteer work.
