Turn the headband right side out through one of the openings and press flat with the iron. 5. If desired, topstitch close to each long edge, leaving the ends open. You can even use decorative stitches here to add a personal touch. 6. Cut one 8” x 2” rectangle from fabric. This will be used for the elastic casing. 7.

Pillowcase Instructions Materials needed for a standard size pillowcase: 1/4 yard for top of case (cuff) (Some groups like to use 10½" x 42"- 45" for the cuff.) 3/4 yard for main pillow case (or, approximately 25"-26" x 42"- 45") Pins, thread, and sewing machine Yardages are based on material 42"- 45" wide and are to be used as the full width of the material. Directions: Trim the pieces so they are straight on both edges along the width of the fabric. Just straightening these fabrics will still give you the approximate correct dimensions for a standard pillowcase. Unfold and press the 1/4 yard piece of fabric. Place it on working surface with RIGHT side of fabric facing up. Unfold and press the 3/4 yard piece of fabric. Place this fabric on top of the cuff piece, right sides together (WRONG side of main piece will be facing up toward you), lining up the raw edges on the top. I center this because you will cut off the selvages later. You can pin baste this edge. From the opposite end of the main fabric, roll up the fabric into a tube with the selvages along the outside edges. Fold the bottom of the cuff fabric over the rolled fabric. There will now be 3 layers to pin in place, lining up with the top raw edges. (Note: the wrong side of the cuff fabric should be facing you.) Sew seam on this side. Machine stitch the 3 layers together along the top raw edges using a 1/4" seam allowance. Be sure to backstitch this seam. Pull the main fabric out of one end of the cuff. You should now have the pillowcase cuff in place with no exposed seams. Press. Fold the pillowcase in half lengthwise with WRONG sides together and trim off any excess fabric and selvages along the side, making sure the cut edge is perpendicular to the cuff seam. Trim this edge off. With the wrong sides together, stitch along the side and bottom with a ¼ inch seam. Be sure to back stitch at the beginning of the seams. You will be stitching on the right sides of the fabric. Trim corners and raw edges if necessary to eliminate stray threads. Turn WRONG side out, press seams and sew a ½ inch seam along the side and bottom, again backstitching at the beginning of the seams. You will be enclosing the raw edges of the seams you previously have sewn. This makes a nice clean finish. Turn right side out, press and admire your handiwork! Quilts of Valor Pillowcase with Trim Some folks make their presentation case coordinator with the fabrics in their quilt. Others like to make them out of whimsical fabrics. And, some custom make theirs by doing cross stitch or machine or hand embroidery. It really is highly individual. These pillowcase instructions are almost identical to the other instructions except that they include a trim tab in the seam that joins the pillowcase cuff to the body. Cutting: Cuff: 10½ inches x 45 inches (or width of fabric) Body: 26 inches x 45 inches (or width of fabric) Trim: 3 inches x 45 inches (or width of fabric) Press trim fabric, wrong sides together, in half lengthwise to make a piece 1½ inches x 45 inches. Assembly: Layer the three components as follows: Cuff fabric – RIGHT SIDE UP Folded Trim fabric RIGHT SIDE OUT with raw edges even with one of the cuff edges Body fabric – RIGHT SIDE DOWN along same edge Pin these fabrics together along that edge but don’t sew yet. Roll the remaining Body fabric up from the bottom (like a tube) until the remaining Cuff fabric is revealed. Bring that end of the Cuff fabric OVER the rolled up Body, wrong side up, along the raw edges of the other components. Sew all layers together with strong 1/4 inch seam removing the pins as you sew. When sewn, you will have a long tube. Pull the Body fabric out of the tube and press the seam well. Fold the pillowcase in half lengthwise, WRONG sides together, and trim off any excess fabric and selvages along the side, making sure the cut edge is perpendicular to the cuff seam.

  • Glossary of Sewing Terms
    Glossary of Sewing Terms Judith Christensen Professional Patternmaker ClothingPatterns101 Why Do You Need to Know Sewing Terms? There are quite a few sewing terms that you’ll need to know to be able to properly follow pattern instructions. If you’ve been sewing for a long time, you’ll probably know many of these terms – or at least, you know the technique, but might not know what it’s called. You’ll run across terms like “shirring”, “ease”, and “blousing”, and will need to be able to identify center front and the right side of the fabric. This brief glossary of sewing terms is designed to help you navigate your pattern, whether it’s one you purchased at a fabric store or downloaded from an online designer. You’ll find links within the glossary to “how-to” videos or more information at ClothingPatterns101.com Don’t worry – there’s no homework and no test! Just keep this glossary handy for reference when you need it! 2 A – Appliqué – A method of surface decoration made by cutting a decorative shape from fabric and stitching it to the surface of the piece being decorated. The stitching can be by hand (blanket stitch) or machine (zigzag or a decorative stitch). Armhole – The portion of the garment through which the arm extends, or a sleeve is sewn. Armholes come in many shapes and configurations, and can be an interesting part of a design. B - Backtack or backstitch – Stitches used at the beginning and end of a seam to secure the threads. To backstitch, stitch 2 or 3 stitches forward, then 2 or 3 stitches in reverse; then proceed to stitch the seam and repeat the backstitch at the end of the seam.

Embellishments of the Alaska Native Gut Parka Fran Reed (1943 - 2008) [email protected] Dealing with the various and extreme weather conditions in Alaska is a serious matter. Coastal Native Alaskans have been surviving in these severe environments for millennia. Without a local general store in which to buy a nice rain slicker, one must be resourceful with what is available. Between the hot summers and frigid winters are the transition seasons when it rains. Bird skins and fish skins were used extensively to make raincoats but it is the gut skin parka that proved so universal along the coast of Alaska (Fig. 1). From village to village different preparations, stitching methods and artistic styles are apparent and expressed in the embellishments that define the region, the culture and the function of these beautiful outer garments. For hundreds of years the indigenous people of the circumpolar region survived extreme conditions on their ingenuity and creativity.

  • History of Sleeves Rawls Middle Ages (476AD – 1492) ▪ Early Medieval Sleeve Designs Were Generally Cut in One with the Garment, Not Set-In
    By Alyssa History of Sleeves Rawls Middle Ages (476AD – 1492) ▪ Early medieval sleeve designs were generally cut in one with the garment, not set-in. ▪ The sleeve of the outer tunic was cut fully; it could be short, elbow, three-quarter or full- length. ▪ If it was not full-length it displayed the wrist length under sleeve which was usually fitting. ▪ If it was long, it was often very wide and flaring at the wrist Italian Renaissance(14th – 17th century) ▪ In the fourteenth century the tightly-fitting sleeve was fashionable, with the outer tunic often ending at the elbow in a cuff and hanging tippets ▪ Fifteenth-century styles included the bishop sleeve, full and long and gathered into a tight wristband ▪ It also included the fuller bag or bagpipe sleeve, also fitting at the wrist, and the padded shoulder style Elizabethan (1558 – 1603) • In the 1560s and 1570s an upstanding puff sleeve was fashionable. • Trunk sleeves were very wide and excessive and because of this were a popular style of the upper class • Sleeves were banded at intervals creating puffs which in turn were padded and slashed to display linings and undergarments. French Neoclassical (18 - 19 century) • Eighteenth century sleeves for ladies' gowns were generally fitting to the elbow where they were finished by a deep cuff or, later, as funnel sleeves. • In the 1830s the puff sleeves became much larger developing into the leg-of-mutton sleeve, a style which was reintroduced in the 1890s. Also fashionable in the 1830s was the elephant sleeve • The mid-century style was usually wide and flaring at the bottom and only three-quarter or bracelet length Victorian (1837 – 1901) ▪ Bell sleeves came into fashion during the 1840s ▪ Dolman sleeves were closely fitted during much the Victorian era and were part of the military look in fashion.
