  • 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.

  • CO Guide to Judging Clothing
    Colorado 4-H Guide for Clothing Judges Standards of Quality Clothing Construction Introduction One of our basic tasks in evaluating or judging is to be able to recognize and identify the standards that give a garment a finished, professional look. There are many techniques that can be used to accomplish the same end product. Each of us has techniques that we like and techniques that we dislike. In an objective evaluation it is essential to play down our personal preferences and to build upon identified and accepted standards. In general, there are some standards that apply to almost all techniques. Almost all construction techniques should result in an area, finish or detail that is: • Inconspicuous o Flat and smooth o Free from bulk o Stitching a uniform distance from an edge or fold • Functional • Durable –stitching uniform and secure Specific standards that can be expected in good construction are listed on the following pages. They are organized by techniques and/or areas, and the techniques are presented in alphabetical order. Overall Appearance Be objective when considering the overall appearance and appeal of a garment. It may be helpful to think about there being at least one especially pleasing feature about this garment, reflecting the many hours of though, effort and creativity that went into its construction. It may be the design, fabric, use of unusual technique or detail. Particularly neat and well-done machine or handstitching, etc. o Overall neatness and cleanliness o Plaids, stripes, checks and other designs matched at seams o Fabric with a direction in design or nap issued in garment in one direction unless garment design requires variation.

  • Placket Construction Options
    Placket Construction Options 1 Type1: Two Separate Bound Edges on a rectangular stitching box The key to this structure is that the bindings are initially stitched only to the seam allowances on each side, and NOT stitched across the end, of the clipped box, which means that they, and the clipped triangle at the bottom, remain loose and can be arranged before the nal nishing to go on either side of the fabric, as well as either over or under the other, after joining them at the sides. The widths and lengths of the bindings and the space between the sides of the clipped box determine all the other options available in this most exible of all the placket types I know of. Variation 1: Both bindings t inside the stitching box If you cut the bindings so the nished, folded widths of both are equal to or smaller than the space between the initial stitching lines, as shown above, you can arrange both ends at the clipped corners to all go on one side of the fabric (right or wrong side), along with the clipped triangle on the garment. You’ll get the best results if the underlapping binding is slightly smaller than the overlapping one. This can be man- aged by taking slightly deeper seam allowances when you join this piece, so they can initially be cut from the same strip. Or, you can place one end on each side with the Both ends on RS One end on RS, Both ends on WS triangle sandwiched in between.

  • Lapped Zipper Lapped Zippers Are Often Found on Skirts at the Waistband
    Sewing Technique: Lapped Zipper Lapped zippers are often found on skirts at the waistband. A lapped zipper is constructed so that the zipper is not visible. The zipper will remain closed throughout the process of inserting the zipper. All sewing is done on the inside of the garment except for topstitching. Remember to always keep the needle positioned between the zipper foot and the zipper teeth when sewing. NOTE: Throughout this tutorial, the term “placket” will be used. A placket is the fabric that surrounds and reinforces fasteners in a garment. In this instance, the fastener referred to in this tutorial is a zipper. STEP 1: On the wrong side of the fabric, measure and mark the placket opening BASTING where the zipper STITCH will be placed. Do this by measuring from the top of the garment down along the seam to the zipper bottom stop. Take into consideration the REGULAR composition of garment and if there will be a waistband or MACHINE STITCH any other special feature at the top of the zipper. Mark the placement of the bottom stop with a marking pencil. STEP 2: While sewing the seam, machine stitch the seam closed until the marked point of the bottom of the zipper, backstitch, then switch to a basting stitch for the distance of the placket seam. Press seam allowance open. $-05)*/( CONSTRUCTION 6UBI4UBUFJTBOBóSNBUJWFBDUJPOFRVBMPQQPSUVOJUZJOTUJUVUJPO STEP 3: Replace sewing machine foot with a zipper foot. Place zipper face down with the teeth centered on the pressed open seam on the inside of the garment, matching top and bottom stops with marks.

  • Belts & Belt Loops
    Belts & Belt Loops Belts Fold fabric strip right sides together. Beginning in the middle of one long side, stitch to one end. Beginning about 10cm from the previous starting point, stitch to the other long end. Grade seam allowance and clip curves and corners as needed. Turn belt right side out through opening in long side. Press. Edgestitch entire outer edge of belt; opening will be stitched closed at the same time. If desired, topstitch 7mm inside edgestitching. Make eyelets at indicated positions, or apply grommets following manufacturer’s instructions. Tip: If your sewing machine has pre-programmed eyelets, use them to stitch the eyelets on your belt. Another option is an eyelet embroidery set (BERNINA Eyelet Embroidery Set #82 with Foot #92). Attach belt buckle according to manufacturer’s instructions. Tip: Most belt buckles are attached by folding one end of the belt around the bar in the middle of the buckle, then stitching or bartacking the end in place. Making Belt Loops Overlock one long edge of belt loop strip. Fold strip into thirds, overlapping raw edges at the center of the strip. Edgestitch both long sides. Tip: Instead of edgestitching, sew a decorative stitch through the center of the folded strip. Cut into required lengths. Alternate Method This technique is effective for heavy fabrics. Fold the strip in half, wrong sides together. Using a blind stitch and a blind hem foot (BERNINA Blindstitch Foot #5), stitch along the raw edges, catching the fabric in the zigzag portion of the stitch, letting the straight stitches sew “in air.” Refold with the stitching at the center back of the strip; press.

  • Lining Techniques... Made Easy
    CT-MMB.004 Lining Techniques Jacket and Coat Linings Made Easy A garment lining is generally referred to and treated as a “supportive” fabric. As a rule, a lining eliminates the need for time-consuming seam finishes while lengthening the life and durability of the fashion garment. According to Kathleen Spike, noted clothing writer, “Nothing places a garment in the ‘custom’ or ‘couture’ category as distinctly as a professionally applied lining.” 1 Lining – a separate, but attached inner layer of fabric construction which conceals or covers the inside garment construction. STANDARDS OF A WELL-MADE/APPLIED GARMENT LINING A suitable lining fabric: Is compatible with garment fabric in terms of care and fiber content. It can be cleaned in the same manner as the garment. Can be either woven or knit fabric as long as it is compatible with the garment fashion fabric. Permits and accommodates the necessary “give” and recovery needed for body movement. Is firm, yet not bulky; colorfast to perspiration and body oils; absorbent or “breathable.” Is opaque so as not to see the inside construction of the garment. Matches or coordinates with the garment fashion fabric. Has a smooth surface texture to permit the garment to be taken on and off the body with ease. Weight is the same or somewhat lighter and softer than the fashion fabric so as not to dominate the fashion garment. Is preshrunk (pre-washed or dry-cleaned) prior to cutting. The completed lining: Is cut sufficiently larger than the fashion garment to provide length and width fitting ease (generally at center back, armhole, hem edge, elbow, sleeve hem, shoulder).

You may not usually buy a piece of fabric because of its selvage, but you BY MARY RAY just might start once you learn how using a beautiful and interesting sel- vage creatively can turn a humdrum garment into a statement piece. Some selvages are unobtrusive, narrow, and woven a little tighter with stronger yarns than the rest of the fabric, while some are much fancier, with multi- colored yarns, woven patterns, or feathery edges—or sometimes all three. Once you start looking at selvages with a designer’s eye, you’ll see how useful they can be. Here are nine ways you can use selvages that are just too good to discard.

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.

  • Clothing Construction Guidelines and Forms
    Clothing Construction Guidelines and Forms General 1. Members should be enrolled in the project at the beginning of the project year, October 1. (Separate Guidelines for Buymanship and Fashion Revue are provided on the website or at the 4- H office.) 2. It is suggested that all Clothing Construction participants use the guidelines relative to their level – Beginner, Intermediate or Advanced. 3. Each member who signs up for a clothing/sewing or buymanship project should be given a copy of these guidelines (available for printing from the website) to share with their parents. This would be helpful when choosing an appropriate pattern and material. The ideas listed are just suggested techniques and learning experiences that could be learned at the various stages. It doesn’t mean that the member has to learn all of the techniques during that time period. It depends on the individual and how much they can handle. Each member should have a new learning experience with each new project. It is vitally important not to let the member get overwhelmed with their project. 4. The project selected each year should be made with regard to the 4-H member’s interest, length of attention span and ability, and be mutually agreed upon by the member and the project leader. 5. Members should attend at least 3 project meetings and evaluate projects with leaders throughout the year. 6. Project leaders should decide whether the member has fulfilled the project requirements before the evaluation and discuss with the Project Superintendent if necessary. 7. Members wishing to complete projects in buymanship and/or sewing should enroll in each project and fulfill requirements for each project.
