Hand Stitches for Artisan Tailoring HAND STITCHES FOR ARTISAN TAILORING INDEX 1. Tailor’s tacks 2. Pad stitch 3. Pick stitch 4. “Punto pelota” - Crossed stitch 5. Herringbone stitch 6. Basting stitch 7. Fell stitch 8. Buttonhole stitch 1. TAILOR’S TACKS Tailor’s tacks are made using cotton basting thread. They’re used to transfer markings from one piece of fabric to another. To create the tacks, baste along the marks you want to transfer. Leave every second stitch very loose. When you’ve basted all the markings, pull the two layers of fabric apart and cut the threads through the middle. Be careful not to cut the fabric. 2. ​PAD STITCH Pad stitching is used in the following parts of the jacket: - Canvas: the stitch is made with cotton thread. It’s used to hold every layer of the canvas together: interlining, horsehair canvas and felt. Make medium-length skewed stitches through every layer of fabric, going from top to bottom. Don’t allow any ease in. - Lapels: use regular sewing thread in a matching colour. In the lapels, the pad stitch holds the canvas and front panel together. It also gives the lapel its roll. Make small skewed stitches, going from top to bottom. Shape the lapel as you sew. - Collar: use regular sewing thread in a colour that matches the felt undercollar. The pad stitching fixes the felt to the fabric. It also gives the undercollar its roll and curved shape. Make small skewed stitches following the shape of the undercollar. 3. PICK STITCH For the pick stitch, use regular sewing thread. The pick stitch is used to join the edges of two pieces of fabric. Usually, the inside edge is offset slightly. The stitches must always be the same size, quite small and close to the edge of the fabric. There are two phases to the pick stitch: Bringing the needle through the fabric from the underside, and backtacking right next to the thread. 4.“PUNTO PELOTA” - CROSSED STITCH For this stitch, use cotton basting thread. This stitch is used to keep the opening for the hip pockets shut before you sew the welts. The stitch should be skewed. Sew from top to bottom, making sure the edges of the fabric don’t overlap. 5. HERRINGBONE STITCH You’ll use cotton basting thread or regular sewing thread depending on where you use the stitch. Work from left to right, keeping the stitches “flexible”. The herringbone stitch is used to hold fabric edges together. Sew from top to bottom, creating crosses with the thread. 6.BASTING STITCH Use cotton basting thread. Basting holds two pieces of fabric together temporarily before sewing them permanently. Depending on what you’re basting, the stitches could be longer or shorter, and straight or skewed. 7.FELL STITCH Use regular thread in a matching colour. The fell stitch is used to permanently fix fabric in place. It’s mainly used for sewing the lining in. The stitches must be very small and always the same size. Make the stitches slightly skewed, and as invisible as possible. 8.BUTTONHOLE STITCH Use silk buttonhole twist. The purpose of the buttonhole stitch is to cover the edges of the buttonhole and to reinforce the fabric around it. The stitches form knots around the edge, which protect the buttonhole from the wear caused by the button being pushed through. Push the needle through from the underside and wrap the thread around it clockwise. Pull tight, making a knot. Master tailor: Agustín García Montero Assistant: Lucía Serrano.

This principle makes a departure from the legacy of bookish learning which continues to shape our system and causes a gap between the school, home, community and the workplace.

  • 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.

  • Presentation ‘Crisp and Fluid’
    Presentation ‘Crisp and fluid’ Irmgard Mkhabela, November 09, 2012 The study of Madame Gres’ fine pleating technique Reflections My initial response when it was suggested I look at Madame Gres’ work, was, why? Firstly, I knew a little bit about Madame Gres, again, my knowledge and interest in her work was very limited. I remember saying to myself after looking at some of her work on the web, it’s not my style and besides, I did not see the need to study someone’s work if I am to be original. So, for me to fashion my concept on her method of construction was going to be a challenge! I had just had a critique session prior and what I had presented received a lot of criticism, leaving me pretty anxious. I began questioning my understanding of what’s wanted and if at all I am misunderstood. This may have been the reason for my apprehension about doing the study about Madame Gres’ work. But, because I am here to learn and maybe I did not articulate my concept properly, I thought I give this a try and will revert to my idea at a later stage. Immersing myself in everything Gres I am learning a lot from Gres’ sculptural creations and can see the influence from the Grecian statues Her fine pleating look deceptively easy to construct, yet they are very complex. They require a lot of time and handling to get them right She uses what looks like cartridge pleating and plies du soleil, including some sort of flat pleating kept flat by pick stitch.

  • Kids Blouse: Mousie Blousie with Heather Ross
    Kids Blouse: Mousie Blousie with Heather Ross Chapter 1 - Introduction Overview - This Mousie Blousie is a great way to use busier prints because it has such basic, simple lines, but it has a lot of great detail, too. It's a great first project if you've never done buttonholes or buttons before because it has a really simple fold over placket, really easy, really fun. We've finished it off with this great little detail in front with a little bit of hand stitching. It just gives it that perfect handmade finish. Chapter 2 - Materials Materials - So I've cut my pieces out for my mousie blousie based on the direction on my pattern, and this is what I've got. Two blouse back pieces, two blouse back facing pieces, one blouse front piece, one blouse facing piece. I have my small, little piece that is going to become my decorative tab. I have my piece of bias trim for the decorative tab. And for materials, I have six little green buttons. These are half-inch buttons, you could use 3/4-inch if you wanted to make a little more of a statement with your tab. I have a very standard sewing machine, but it needs to have a buttonhole foot, because I'm going to put buttons on the back of my blouse as well as on the decorative tab, and those are going to open and close. I have a pair of pinking shears, I have a pair of standard sewing shears. I have my trimmer.
