Women of wealth and fashion go to Paris for their clothes. The woman of moderate means can not go to Paris nor can she have her clothes made for her. The only way that she can be really well dressed is to make her clothes herself. She too can e.xercise her taste and discrimination in choosing the correct fashion, the new material, the charming color, the line that will make her look young, slender and elegant. And like the woman who wears French dresses, she can have clothes that are cut to fit her figure, that are not too long in the shoulder, too big under the arms, too low in the waist, or too short at the elbow. VY/OMEN are so well trained in economics nowadays they will readily understand that in making their own clothes they pay for the bare materials and nothing else, and so effect a tremendous sa\-ing which is further increased by the fact that they can buy a better quality of fabric that will lengthen the-life of their clothes. With the present simple styles dressmaking was never as easy as it is now. Com- pared to the elaborate trimmings of the "awful Eighties" and even the whalebone and crinolines of later date, the extreme simplicity of the dresses of to-day has reducedthe work of di-essmaking to its lowest possible terms. Trimming is so often in the form of effecti\'e but bold, easily executed embroidery, braiding, etc., for which you get the newest French designs in Needle-Art, the special Butterick publication on this subject. The Delineator, Butterick Fashions and the Butterick Fashion Sheet illustrate the latest French way of using the new trimmings and the little finishing touches that give a dress a Parisian look. The object of this book is to enable a woman to make her clothes with the same per- fection of finish, the same attention to detail that she would receive in the atelier of a French dressmaker or in the workrooms of a Fifth Avenue establishment. The success of a dress depends on four things: style, material, construction and finish. yHE first is line or style. This you get from Butterick Patterns, which give you French fashions adapted to the needs of well-dressed American women. It does not give you conspicuous, ephemeral extremes. For example, when the French mannikins wore dresses which reached just below the knees at the same time that certain American manufacturers of ready-made clothes were making the very long lead-pencil skirt, Butterick Patterns kept to the smart conservative length of skirt used by the best-dressed Parisians and New York women. You can absolutely rely on the styles given you in Butterick Patterns. An interesting collection of the latest Paris and New York fashions appears each month in The Delineator and Butterick Fashion Sheet, and at the beginning of each season in Butterick Fashions. You get every phase of the new fashions including the Parisian conception of the French modes as sketched from the models of Worth, 5 6 THE NEW DRESSMAKER Paqiiin, Poiret, Doueet, etc., to the simple practical versions prepared for American women. CECOND, the materials and colors which change every season stamp a dress -n-ith its year mark. The new materials which are suitable for yoiu- dress, blouse, suit, etc., are given on the Butterick Pattern envelope. This information is also given every month in the Delineator and every season in Bctterick K'ashions, where you see the actual colors and color combinations on the color pages. IN THE third ijlace, your dress must be cut and put together and finished with profes- .-iional skill and precision. THE DELTOR, the very wonderful complement of the Butterick Pattern, shows you in pictures how to cut the garment and put it together and tells you how it should be finished. The Deltor shows you in its Illustrated Layouts exactly how to place each size of each version of the pattern on material of every suitable width. The Layouts show how the pieces of the pattern can be laid out so as to use the least possible amount of material to give the right style effect. If it is necessary to fold the material the Lay- outs show where to fold it so that it wUl cut without waste. With the Deltor it is possible to give what is known as "trick-lays"—that is, layouts planned by expert cutters, which save an eighth, a quarter or half a yard of material over the layout that a woman could plan for herself. With an inexpensive material these "triek-lays" save the price of a pattern, while with expensive material the saving amounts to two. four, six dollars or even more. With the saving made possible by the Deltor the pattern itseh costs nothing. The Layouts give the correct position for each piece of the pattern in relation to the selvedge so that it will be cut on the right grain of the fabric. If a garment is cut on the wTong grain it will have a bad style effect. The Illustrated Layouts save the woman the work of planning the cutting of her mate- rial. She sinijily copies in five minutes a layout that is the result of several hours' work on the part of an expert. It saves her time and gives her the benefit of an expert cutter's knowledge of grains and cutting fines. The Butterick Illustrated Instructions are a series of pictures which show you how to cut and put your dross together step by step. For example, in making a skirt the first pictiu-e will show you just how to put the pieces together, match the notches and just where to baste the seams. Another picture shows you how to make the inside belt down to the last hook. Still another puts the skirt on the belt for you. There is no possibility of misunderstanding. You don't have to read directions—you simply follow the pictures. T!ie Butterick Pattern is the only pattern in the world that has this remarkable picture guide. It isn't necessary to know anything about dressmaking when you have the Deltor. A beginner can ch-ape the most elaborate skirt or put together a tailored coat as expertly as a dressmaker or a tailor, for the simple reason that highly skilled pro- fessionals show her each step in the illustrations. They show you how to make clothes by pictures in the same easy, absorbing way that a movie teUs you the story of the play. IN THE fourth place, your dress must have the eon-eet finishing touches which are so characteristic of the French gown. All women dread the "home-made look." It is al- ways traceable to one of two things.

  • Hemmer Foot (ESG-HF) Instructions
    Baby Lock Sewing Accessories Hemmer Foot (ESG-HF) Instructions This foot is designed to curl under a 3mm double hem while stitching with either a straight stitch or a decorative Parisian hemstitch. Works best on lightweight fabrics. 4. Position the fabric (reverse side facing up) under the presser This presser foot can be used on a sewing machine with a foot. Lower the needle 3 mm from the edges of the fabric, zigzag stitch width up to 7 mm. lower the presser foot, then sew 2 or 3 stitches. 1. Remove presser foot and attach snap-on narrow hemmer foot. 5. Raise the needle and the presser foot, and then hold the ends of the upper thread and lower thread to prevent them from being pulled out of the fabric and pull the fabric out from the front of the presser foot. 2. Select the straight stitch (center needle position). 3. Connect the foot controller so that both hands are free to guide the fabric. 6. Holding both threads, pass them through the curled part HINTS: If too little fabric is wrapped around the curl and a of the presser foot and pull them toward the back of the threefold seam is not being sewn: pull the fabric held in your presser foot. Wrap the fabric around the curled part of the right hand to the left in order to increase the amount of fabric presser foot in the same way. Position the edge of the fabric wrapped in the presser foot curl. At the same time, carefully just behind the needle and lower the presser foot.

  • Curvemaster Presser Foot Tutorial
    Curvemaster Presser Foot Tutorial Print Page The Curve Master Presser Foot sews curves with no pinning or clipping. It also sews a perfect, scant ¼” seam and eliminates the problem of trailing off at the bottom edge, or getting triangle points in a wad in the needle hole. Sandra Chandler, the inventor of the Curve Master, with a curved pieced Drunkard’s Path quilt she has made in far less than half the time normally taken with the quartering, pinning method of sewing. Photo taken during our Three Day Retreat with Sandy held at our Warehouse during June 2008. For the purpose of this tutorial, we will use the two pieces used in a Drunkard’s Path Block. These are the two shapes which will be sewn together. A convex curve into a concave curve. Normally, a difficult seam to sew. Having the top straight sections level, align the beginning edges together. No need to mark the middle or fold the fabric to find the middle. No pinning at all. Note that the fabrics are placed together so that when you “flip them open”; they are aligned exactly as you want this edge of your block to appear. Hint #1: Sewing with the wedge shape on top gives you better visibility, but either on top is okay. Hint #2: If sewing a stiffer fabric (such as a Batik) with a softer fabric, the stiffer fabric is better to be on top. Place fabrics under the needle; lower the Curve Master Presser Foot, aligning the two fabric edges against the integrated, raised ¼” seam allowance guide of the foot as shown.

  • 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.

  • Stitches and Seam Techniques
    Stitches and Seam Techniques Seen on Dark Age / Medieval Garments in Various Museum Collections The following notes have been gathered while attempting to learn stitches and construction techniques in use during the Dark Ages / Medieval period. The following is in no way a complete report, but only an indication of some techniques observed on extant Dark Ages / Medieval garments. Hopefully, others who are researching “actual” garments of the period in question will also report on their findings, so that comparisons can be made and a better total understanding achieved.

  • 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.
