Yes, I know it's been four years. I am sorry for that. For awhile I was keeping a blog on Wordpress and had everything going on there but then I dropped off posting and decided to stop paying for the hosting and bam, it was gone. I have had a bit of life happen since I posted here. Since that time, I have lost my Mom and my brother. Changed jobs twice and finally feel like I am getting it together, being prepared to live life in alignment with my soul.<br /><br />So enough getting personal and all deep, I am going to unveil my revamped sewing space and while it is not perfect yet, I feel it is close enough to show.<br /><br /></div>

<br />
There is a new edition for this menswear tailoring textbook called <i>Classic Tailoring Techniques for Menswear</i> by Roberto Cabrera published. While there are a variety of tailoring books out there for women, there are not that many modern books available for menswear. I was reading blogs in my feed, this one struck me as a very thoughtful and thorough review. This textbook was highly recommended but not easily found by me in its earlier edition.<br />
<br />
<br />
Here is a link to Jeffrey Diduch's blog <b>Made by Hand- The Great Sartorial Debate</b> and his review:<br />

<br />
I have this book as well but have not opened it in awhile as it has been a long time since I have attempted any serious tailoring. I seem to live in knits these days.<br />
<br />
At any rate, it is a good review, you get a glimpse of the pictures and content of the book and she describes their approach which is pretty interesting.<br />

I have an enduring love of vintage sewing manuals. This blog seems a perfect place to link to reviews of them for future reference. Caroline has written a lovely review and homage of a publication of the US Department of Agriculture Farmer's Bulletin. I hope to run into other publications by that author and "Clothing Specialist."<br />

Part 1<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii278/rowsella/Art%20of%20Sewing/018.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" src="http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii278/rowsella/Art%20of%20Sewing/018.jpg" data-pinit="registered" height="320" width="240" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Chapter Four starts out talking about fit, how important it is to fit the garment so it is flattering and that it is done correctly without shortcuts. Presumably you have already done some adjustments to the pattern so it has wide enough circumference and length. Basically, the writer feels that it is important to baste the garment together -- darts first, then seams, baste pockets to the garment after seams are sewn to ensure they are positioned in the best place. She also suggests basting the zipper in first to ensure correct neck fit. It is better and easier to unpick a basting stitch than a construction stitch. Correct sewing technique is also important to make your clothes last longer and look good. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Page 88 digresses into fashion history-- the evolution of pockets, buttons and buttonholes, pleats, hems and zippers. Then on page 90 there is a blurb about hemlines and Wall Street-- higher skirts when times are flush and longer when times are tough. There is a pretty cool picture of skirt lengths through the decades although it seems like even though the 1950's was prosperous, skirts were still longer than the 1940s (due to fabric shortages in the 40's probably but then that contradicts the whole theory).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My take on this is that while there are some great productivity shortcuts that can be employed when sewing garments, it is probably best to use those with tried and true (TNT) patterns that have already been fitted. You can even trim out the seam allowances to 3/8's inch to eliminate lots of trimming and clipping. But with a new pattern, it is probably better to follow the advice in the book-- but I like to just baste a muslin together first before I cut my fashion fabric. Once all your changes have been applied to the paper pattern, you are golden until you have some weight/size changes in which you have to start all over again. If you are like me and have frequent weight fluctuations, you might want to write the date, your weight and key measurements (bust, hip) on the pattern and save it as you might see that size again. Sometimes shooting a picture and putting it in the pattern is good too. The best way to get better at sewing techniques is to practice them. Which is kind of a pain as I would rather be making something rather than doing drills. But once you do 10 welt pockets or bound buttonholes, they become less difficult or intimidating. Yesterday I was at the Salvation Army and looked at a short sleeved top made from the 70's in that thick polyester. It had bound buttonholes! Totally unexpected.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii278/rowsella/Art%20of%20Sewing/019.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" src="http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii278/rowsella/Art%20of%20Sewing/019.jpg" data-pinit="registered" height="320" width="234" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The next section in this chapter gives an overview on putting different key garments together-- dress, shirt, women's blouse, skirt, women's pants, men's pants. The author does not delve into technique here. This would be a cool exercise to do with the TNT wardrobe sew-alongs, 6-packs, and SWAPs going on this year. The overviews are basically order of assembly directions. What is neat is they give little advices for example, on page 97 at Step B for the skirt assembly, it tells you to baste the darts if there are any, baste the seams and try on the skirt. The next step says "if the waist dart is too short, it will pucker at the tip when tried on and the skirt will have extra fabric at the hip or abdomen. Correct it by placing a pin 1 1/2 inches above the fullest part of the upper hip or abdomen indicated by an "x" on the drawing (as usual nicely shaded drawings illustrate all the garment construction steps) and tapering the dart to the pin, Re-baste the dart." The description then goes on to tell you what to do if the dart is too long or if it points in the wrong direction.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The pictures in this chapter of which I have shown 2 of them are very 70's cool. I love the cream skit and the flip hairdo. I think today, that would be too much cream and probably too covered up--turtleneck with long-sleeved overshirt? I would wear a different color jacket but the garment styles are still relevant and would not look out of order today.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The drawings of the different garments for the assembly directions are in 2 tone blue with black stitch lines to illustrate the seam lines similar to the old McCalls two color pattern instructions from the 1970s. They title the clothing items as "The Classic Dress and show one with bust darts and one with princess seams, "The Classic Shirt" which could be a man's shirt or a woman's shirt but has no collar stand nor bust dart, "The Classic Blouse" which has sleeves gathered at a smaller cuff and bust darts, "The Classic Skirt" which allows for pleats and/or darts and a waistband and zipper also another model with a front closure; "The Classic Women's Pants" with darts, zippers, waistband, no waistband/facing and pockets; "The Classic Men's Pants" with the standard fly, pocket and waistband.</span><br />

With all the different scissors out there it can be confusing to a new sewer as to what is actually needed. Three basic scissors should be sufficient to make any garment. There are left-handed versions as well as the standard right. I suggest two different marking wheels to transfer pattern markings--one for wovens whose wheel is notched, one for knits in which the wheel is smooth.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-wbKTd2J5pA8/TZnJXHClThI/AAAAAAAACAI/P3uO4D8yDyI/s1600/025_edited-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="261" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-wbKTd2J5pA8/TZnJXHClThI/AAAAAAAACAI/P3uO4D8yDyI/s400/025_edited-2.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
For cutting your fabric a 8 to 10 inch pair of bent-handeled dressmaker's shears will cover any job. Also a 5-6 inch pair of scissors can be best used to precision clip into curves and smaller areas. Pinking shears are used for finishing raw seam edges but one can forgo this pair if you have a serger or seam edge stitch on your sewing machine. Today, I often use a rotary cutter but such new-fangled items were not "invented" as of 1973.<br />

</tbody></table><br />
<br />
Cutting straight lings: Open the shears wide and taking the fabric the entire length of the blade. Cut with one long steady closure for a smooth edge (No Snippy Choppy motions! Just smooth and efficient shear).<br />
<br />
If there is a pattern piece that is difficult to access to cut correctly, cut around pattern, leaving margin of fabric so you can handle it and do a better job with cutting it without a problem. See Picture of sleeve above.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-fLGQf9Cb70U/TZnNCgI32NI/AAAAAAAACAo/m0im6NJgkbs/s1600/Scan_Pic0011_edited-1-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="165" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-fLGQf9Cb70U/TZnNCgI32NI/AAAAAAAACAo/m0im6NJgkbs/s400/Scan_Pic0011_edited-1-1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
<br />
For Curves: open the scissors halfway and don't quite close them all the way while cutting to avoid jagged lines. Your goal is a smooth curve.<br />
<br />
Right Angles: Cut along one line, then remove scissores and approach other line to the point where the lines meet. Do not swivel at the corners, you want a crisp true angle.<br />
<br />
Clipping-- Use the 5 or 6 inch scissors and snip curves, small details and notches with the tips of the blades. Don't open them all the way so you have better control over the depth of the cut.<br />
<br />
Pinking-- Open shears wide and close smoothly along the unfinished edges of the seam.<br />
<br />

Marking: Utilize the marking wheels with the transfer paper. Run a saw-tooth wheel over the pattern markings (the transfer paper is layered with transfer medium down on top of wrong side of top fabric under pattern paper and a sheet facing up on the wrong side of the bottom fabric-- the pattern paper on top of all.-- See image A)<br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Your have selected a pattern, you have made fitting alterations and your fabric decisions have been made, it is prepared and aligned, you know how to cut and mark the pattern pieces-- time to lay out the pattern on the fabric to cut the pattern pieces. Don't forget to press the folds out of your pattern pieces first and make sure your fabric is not wrinkled.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-cras85SuxlU/TZtvlaiodXI/AAAAAAAACA8/JnmXK6jH0LM/s1600/Scan_Pic0011_edited-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-cras85SuxlU/TZtvlaiodXI/AAAAAAAACA8/JnmXK6jH0LM/s400/Scan_Pic0011_edited-2.jpg" data-pinit="registered" height="340" width="400" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In the majority of projects, you will fold the fabric in half lengthwise with selvedges on one side and fold on the other. This works perfectly fine with solid fabrics and non-repeating prints. The book recommends that the selvedges be pinned together at 1-2 inch intervals. I don't think I would ever do that unless I was nervous about a shifty fabric. The fabric can be folded crosswise if the pattern pieces are too wide for the lengthwise layout. Be careful of directional prints with this option. In some cases your pattern layout directions may require you to cut some items from doubled fabric and others from single thickness. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Plaids and repeating prints will require additional fabric to match them.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Every pattern has directions in which recommended layouts or cutting diagrams are pictured. You may follow this but you don't have to. You may decide a more thriftier layout for the fabric or in the event your fabric shrunk more than you expected and you have to less to work with.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The most important factor in laying out your pattern is making certain your pattern piece grainlines match the grainlines in the fabric. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The best way to ensure this is to measure from the grain line to the edge of the fabric so that the grain line is always the same distance to the edge from top to bottom. Some may choose to extend their grainline on the their fabric from top to bottom by drawing it in with a ruler and pen.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Striped, large checked and plaid fabrics will need to be folded more carefully- the foldline should fall exactly halfway through a stripe or check and use pins through the top layer of fabric where the check lines intersect or stripe edges are --matching the bottom layer by folding the fabric back to check placement adjusting as you go. Keep pinning throrughout until edges are pinned.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Take pattern pieces and pin those that need to be placed on the fold --aligned those on the fold and arrange the other pieces measure to the edge of fabric as described above.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Dress or shirt --To make the design match where the pattern pieces are supposed to be seemed together, make sure the numbered notches that will be matched up together when seamed lie on the same position relative to the checks or stripes in this order: 1.side seams, 2. armhole and sleeve seams, 3. Underarm seams. (see first square in illustration above). You can number your notches to make it easier. Remember to always align the grainlines of the pattern to the fabric before securing with pins. But remember, it is possible to be too matchy.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Label side notches on all pieces "1". Label the front armscye and front part of shoulder cap "2". Label the back armscye and back armscye "3".</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">On a skirt: label the side seam notches "1", the front waistband and the front top "2" and the back waistband and top of back of the skirt "3". Then place pattern on fabric, positioning those numbered notches in similar axis/to design. See pic 2.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">On a pair of pants: Label the side seams "1", the inseam notches "2" . Cut the waistband on the bias so not to worry to make a match. Pin pieces at notches, ensuring the grain is lined up for all pieces and the notches are at evens with their mates. see pic 3.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The tools for laying out, securing, cutting and marking have a rich heritage. We take these tools for granted today as pins are now cut from a single piece of metal and are packed into boxes or thrust into crimped paper by robotic machinery. Early pins were made by hand from brass or iron and the tops were crimped or bent at the top-- sounds crude but even these were considered a luxury. That is where the terms "pin money" and the practice of picking up a stray pin as a thrift behavior and bringing good luck. Pincushions were popular and had many different names "pimpilowes, pimpilos, pimplos, pimploes or pyn-pillows." These were lavishly embroidered, made in fanciful shapes, sewn by hand and even worn as ornaments. During the reign of Elizabeth I, no lady of the court was found without their pincushions and the Queen herself was presented with one as a New Year's gift-- (a very elaborate embellished one for royalty, of course). In the 18th century the "pin poppets", small hand wrought ivory cases and other such devices were popular and became heirlooms passed down from one generation to another.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Tape measures themselves were also kept in valuable ornamental housing made of wood, brass, bone ivory or mother of pearl with little inventive devices to wind the tape. The tape measures themselves were ribbons with measures embroidered or inked upon them-- were not always standard and made of different lengths--they were not uniform. It wasn't until the 19th century that a yard length became standard. Measures were commonly subjective. In Medieval England the lengths of fabric to purchase were measured with the length of an arrow until the 12th century in which a yard was length of the King's arm with the first joint of the thumb thrown in for good measure. The King's foot was the foot measure of 12 inches or three barleycorns laid end to end. This continued until the 16th century when the "ell" -- a 45 inch unit was developed. An ell stick was marked with nails every 2.5 inches (a meteyard" which tape measure where then modeled on. Eventually "standards" replaced the ell and were made from carefully prepared metals and kept in controlled environments to prevent degradation. Once technology was developed, the standards were then measured and developed precisely based on light wavelengths.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Scissors also evolved from beautiful art objects to utilitarian efficiency. Upper class people would keep the ornate craftsman-made scissors safely in special cases to protect them but the lower classes had basic iron scissors to use that did not cut well until steel making refinements in the late 19th century were developed. Notched steel wheels also were developed for pattern tracing ("Harpers Copying Wheels"-1875) not much different from our marking tracers today that we use with carbon or chalk papers. Of course a smooth wheel was developed for use with knits to prevent snagging the threads and causing runs.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you fabric has not been preshrunk, you must prepare it before laying it out and cutting it. If it is washable, wash and dry it. If it is not washable, have it dry cleaned. I always wash my fabrics unless they are 100% polyester. I wash flannel and denim multiple times as they tend to progressively shrink. Wools --I have them steamed at the drycleaner's although you can preshrink at home with a steam iron. Silks get drycleaned. Linens are washed and pressed. After washing it is necessary to straighten the grain as it could have been stretched on the bolt or stretched off grain in the washing process. If it is not straightened before it is cut, the garment will be off grain and not hang properly, twisting or sagging.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">A little history about textiles:</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> The first cloth, in prehistoric times was felted animal fibers. It is unknown when the technology of woven fibers evolved. There have been paintings discovered in 8,000 year old Egyptian tombs of nomads dressed in woven robes featuring geometric designs. Even prior to that time cloth was loosely woven with fibers that had been crudely twisted together. As need and innovation progressed, distaff and spindle developed to spin the fiber more evenly and uniformly; a loom was developed to hold warp thread so the woof thread could be drawn through. Loom innovations continued with many different models creating more ease in the weaving so the work would be completed more efficiently. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Weavers developed different weaves-- a plain weave, a twill weave, and a satin weave. Plain weave is simply a the woof yarn woven over and under, twill is where the woof passes over two or more warp yarns before woven over and under and satin is where the warp is over a number of woof yarns before being passed through. These weaves are still basic for fabrics in the natural fibers: cotton, wool, flax and silk as well as synthetics.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> The creation of fabrics before synthetics and in history was vital to a nations industry and trade. In fact there were draconian laws passed to protect the process of production and sourcing. In China it was death by torture to share the secret of silk making outside of the country. In the Middle Ages, the penalty for smuggling wool out of England was exile and even the nobility were instructed as to how many garments they may own. Regulations covered every step of manufacturing: standards of quality, conditions of sale, manner of use and guilds were highly policed. In Flanders, sellers were not allowed to consult with potential buyers -- so much that their physical proximity or careless cough would be interpreted as communication.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> While the natural fibers have been in use for centuries, the advent of the 20th century saw the creation of synthetic fibers. The first synthetic created was rayon in 1911. This was made by weaving long filaments of cellulose molecules. These are very smooth fibers and produced a very tight flowing lustrous weave much like silk which was very good for evening gowns and linings, but not much else until other processes were developed to provide a texture to the fibers. One of the reasons for the popularity of synthetics is their easy care but may be more difficult to work with or to sew and do not breathe as well in warm weather. The solution has been to make a blend of synthetic and natural fabrics to get the best of both worlds.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The designs: circles, squares and stripes:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Geometric shape and design of the fabric is the key to a classic style. Patterns and repetitions of patterns can be seen-- the most common is the stripe and herringbone but there are many other shapes. Squares and stripes are most common in tailored looks while circles and waves, more fluid. It seems a continuum of more tailored and very structured shape on one and and those with more ease and drape with the more round shapes such as paisley on the other and while one may mix them, they will land in between. As designs are larger, they must be carefully matched --for example, plaids. After choosing a shape or design, the next step is to choose fiber content and texture. Personally, I choose first the fiber and texture and then choose a design when I am planning a project but I can see that when one is designing a garment, they may want to choose the design first.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-8HC0sFe3tz0/TXVg6jWjdpI/AAAAAAAAB-w/t2gtPFgWw2I/s1600/photo+%25286%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-pinit="registered" height="400" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-8HC0sFe3tz0/TXVg6jWjdpI/AAAAAAAAB-w/t2gtPFgWw2I/s400/photo+%25286%2529.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>
<br />
In the previous post a number of charts were submitted that delineated the measurements patterns were drafted in different categories. It is rare for anyone to fit one of these measurement sizes exactly. We are all snowflakes I suppose. The below directions are for length and width adjustments for your patterns. These are not comprehensive pattern changes, just basic changes before you sew your first practice garment or muslin. Once basic length and width adjustments are made, any further alterations needed to tweak the pattern can more easily be determined and fitted. One adjustment this chapter does not give is a full bust adjustment which I think is important and should be done as a width adjustment. <br />
<br />
After you select your pattern based on bust size for dresses and shirts or hip size for pants, take a look at your pattern.<br />
<br />
Check your measurements against those for the size your have chosen. <br />
<br />
Do not just cut the fabric a little wider at the hips or add at the hem to lengthen. By doing so, you may end up distorting the style lines of the garment. Make your comparisons of your measurements vs the pattern's measurements on the basis of the numbers on the envelope, not by measuring the pattern as the pattern may have added ease for comfort and style. The exceptions are the sleeve, hem and crotch lengths.<br />
<br />
To make adjustments:<br />
Materials: clear ruler,measuring tape, french curve, pencil, scotch tape, additional tissue paper or graph paper, paper scissors.<br />
<br />
First trim your patterns close to the cutting lines and press with warm dry iron (you may trace if multisized,-- in that case, press pattern sheet, write over your cutting line with a highlighter, trace and then cut close to cutting lines of traced pattern).<br />
<br />
<b>Start with your vertical adjustments, then go to horizontal ones</b>. You may need to lengthen the waist and shorten the hem or vice versa on your pattern. Once the lengths are correct, move to the reducing or enlarging the pattern sections at width points. The procedures are described below.<br />
<br />
Mark your measurement changes on the pattern piece and then draw new cutting lines and stitching lines.<br />
<br />
I find it best to lay out the extra tissue paper under the pattern I'm working on. I think it comes from watching so many Sandra Betzina videos.<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">Length Adjustments to Pattern Sections:</span><br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">To Lengthen a Pattern Section</span></b><br />
Most patterns have adjustment lines drawn where to cut for lengthening or shortening.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-yi4_PxdsaZY/TXVSZyBRXMI/AAAAAAAAB9Q/AWzi9j7o1GY/s1600/lenghten+procedure-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-pinit="registered" height="320" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-yi4_PxdsaZY/TXVSZyBRXMI/AAAAAAAAB9Q/AWzi9j7o1GY/s320/lenghten+procedure-1.jpg" width="134" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Step 1: Draw a line extending 2 inches on each side at right angle to the center of the adjustment line marked on your pattern.<br />
<br />
Step 2: Cut along adjustment line.<br />
<br />
Step 3.: Cut piece of tissue paper slightly wider than your pattern section and about 6 inches high. Draw a vertical line through the center of this piece as in Step 1.<br />
<br />
Step 4. Pin the tissue to one side of the cut pattern piece so the drawn vertical lines are matched up. Measure the length adjustment and then pin the remaining pattern piece matching vertical line. Tape and remove pins.<br />
<br />
Step 5. Redraw or "true" cutting and stitch lines. Trim extra tissue from side.<br />
<br />
This is the basic operation for lengthening any pattern piece whether it be at the waistline, the lower portion of a garment (as for an A-Line dress/skirt or pants), lengthening at the crotch or a sleeve.<br />
<br />
<b>Waistline:</b> For a 1 piece dress, compare your back waist length with the pattern envelope. Determine the amount you need to lengthen. Follow basic lengthening directions and do this for both front and back pattern pieces. Then you may proceed to determine hem length.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<b>Lengthening at the Crotch:</b> Compare your crotch length measurement with your pattern's, measure along the side of the pattern from the waist seam allowance to a point opposite the bottom of the crotch seam allowance. If your measurement is longer than the pattern's, you will have to lengthen the pattern at the crotch before you figure out your hem length. Divide the difference by 2 and use that figure to adjust each pattern piece. Use the adjustment line furnished by the pattern and follow Step 1-5. Make sure to do this on both sides of the pattern. Or for better accuracy measure front crotch length and adjust and then measure back crotch length and adjust as most have front/back measure differently.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<b>Lower Portion of a Garment:</b><br />
<u>Dress & Skirt:</u> Measure from your center front waistline of the garment against the length of the center front of the garment. Make sure this is done after waist adjustment.<br />
<br />
<u>Pants</u>: Place a tissue paper under the pattern. Measure from your waist to hem at side seam. Mark your pants length measurement on the side seam of the pattern piece-- it may come below the pattern (this is to be done after the crotch adjustment). If your length is below the hem line, measure the difference. Follow Steps 1-5 to lengthen.<br />

<br />
<br />
<b>Lengthening the Sleeve:</b><br />
Measure and compare your arm length measurement with the pattern piece measurement --measuring from the center of the seam allowance at the top of the sleeve to the hemline. You will lengthen if your measurement is longer. Follow Steps 1-5.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Shortening a Pattern Section:</span></b><br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />

1. Draw a horizontal line above the adjustment line marked on your pattern piece that is exactly equal to the amount the pattern section is to be shortened.<br />
<br />
2. Fold the pattern so the adjustment line meets your drawn line. Press flat with warm iron. Tape.<br />
<br />
3. Tape a paper extension to the side of your pattern and true the new cutting edge., Draw in a new stitch line. Trim.<br />
<br />
<b>Shorten at waistline:</b> For a one-piece dress, compare your back-waist measurement with the measurement printed on the pattern envelope. Determine the amount needed to shorten to equal your own measurements and follow the above directions steps 1-3 on both front and back pattern pieces.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<b>Shorten at crotch: </b> Again, measure your crotch length and compare it with the pattern measurements. Divide the difference in 2. Using the adjustment lines make the changes needed as described in steps 1-3 for both the front and back. Or for better accuracy measure front crotch length and adjust and then measure back crotch length and adjust as most have front/back measure differently. This must be done before adjusting hem length.<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Shortening the lower portion of a garment:</b><br />
<u>Dress/Skirt</u>: Measure from your waistline to desired hem length, mark the length on the pattern (add hem allowance). Or shorten the pattern by the difference between you mark and the original hemline. Follow steps 1-3.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<u>Pants</u>: Mark your pants length measurement on the side seam of the pattern piece, shorten using steps 1-3. Do this after crotch adjustment.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<b>Shortening a Sleeve: </b>Compare your arm length measurement as for the lengthening section -- to the pattern length from top of seam allowance of shoulder to the hemline. Fold and extend the pattern as described in steps 1-3, redraw the cutting lines and trim. This may need to be done with cuff pinned at seam allowances to determine lengths of cuffed sleeves so more than one pattern piece will need to be altered.<br />

<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">Width Adjustments To Pattern Sections</span><br />
Determining how to alter the width of a garment pattern piece one must consider there are 4 edges that will be altered in the simplest of patterns. Therefore, any difference in circumference will need to be divided into four to determine where to make increase or reduction to ensure balanced side seams.<br />
This book or system uses a dot system in which you measure, mark and then using a french curve, redraw the lines meeting the dots.<br />

1. At the point where you need to reduce your pattern piece, measure in from the stitching line, mark with pencil 1/4 of the total amount to be reduced on each side seam.<br />

<br />
2. Draw a new stitching line using French Curve graduating the curve from the point of reduction to the original stitching line.<br />

<br />
3. Add seam allowance and draw in cutting line. Trim.<br />

<b>Small Bust Adjustment</b>: I wasn't sure if I could find a great SBA tutorial for you but I saw this one and it looks pretty good. If you are a little confused as to the concept, look at the FBA tutorial and make the same lines only instead for spreading, you will do the opposite. You can do this with the pattern piece pinned to your in front of the mirror. Use pins to fasten, then take down and tape the adjustments, true seams.<br />

I recommend the Palmer-Pletsch book Fast Fit for Real People for really good directions for different types of bodices (princess seam, etc.).<br />
<br />
<b>Reducing at Waistline and/or Hipline</b>: For a one piece dress, skirt or pants: Compare your waist measurement and hip measurement with that printed on the pattern envelope. Make your waist mark using 1/4 of the difference and also make your hip mark. Follow steps 1-3 using French curve to draw in new seam line and cutting lines. Repeat for back section.<br />

1. Lay your pattern piece on a strip of paper cut to extend about 2 inches underneath the pattern and about 2 inches beyond the edge. Tape or pin pattern to paper.<br />
<br />
2. At the point where you need to enlarge your pattern piece, measure out from the stitching line and mark 1/4 of the total amount to be enlarged on each seam. Measure as far into the seam allowance or paper as necessary.<br />
<br />
3. Draw a new tapered stitching line from the point of enlargement into the original stitch line with a French curve, trueing the seam. Mark and trim the new cutting line.<br />

<b>Enlarging at the waistline and hipline.</b><br />
For a one piece dress, skirt or pants, compare your measurements with the pattern envelope measurements and divide the difference by 4. Add that to the point on your pattern. I like to also do the same with the hip to ensure correct fit as well as the under bust. Using a French curve, true the seam lines, add the cutting lines and trim. If it is just pants or skirt, no need to check underbust, just draw up to end of pattern and follow the steps 1-3.<br />

This is probably a pretty boring blog post as it consists of a bunch of charts. But the charts are important when deciding on the category of pattern that you choose. You will want to choose a category that best reflects your proportions. If you must choose a pattern that is not in your category, the sizes in the respective chart can guide you well in making your alterations. Please go by measurements when selecting a size. If you go by retail RTW sizes, the pattern will not fit, it will be too small. Pattern companies have not been vanity sizing the last 40 years.<br />

<br />
Patterns are flat. People are not. How to figure out how the flat pattern comes together to cover a three dimensional figure is provided by the pattern markings and symbols. <br />
<br />
Grain line and fold lines indicate the best way to align the pattern piece with the weave of the fabric so it hangs properly. <br />
<br />
Other symbols like notches indicate where to align two different pattern pieces together. Alignment lines indicate where to lengthen or shorten a pattern piece before laying it on fabric. Seam allowance show where to stitch the seam together (difference between the cutting line and the seam line). Construction marks indicate where to place pockets, pleats, buttonholes, the center front of a sleeve or collar, guide alignment of seams. There are also Fabric layout symbols indicating if the pattern must be laid out on a single layer of fabric, print side down or special cutting instructions. Button and zipper marking determine where to place these items. <br />

<b>Figure Types and Sizes</b><br />
<br />
In order to select a pattern, you must pick the correct size.<br />
Women's pattern sizes are rigorously standardized as compared to retail sizes. There are seven figure types for women based on measurements with the Missus being the average. Men's patterns have one type.<br />
<br />
To determine your figure type you have to first check your own measurements and write those done. The illustration below shows red bands across the areas to measure in which the book directs the reader.<br />

<br />
<b>Taking Measurements:</b> <br />
<br />
<b>Women</b><br />
<br />
1. <b>Height</b>--Standing erect with no shoes against a wall. Use a ruler level on top of your head, mark the spot where the ruler touches the wall. Measure from floor to the the mark.<br />
<br />
2. <b>Bust</b>--Measure across the fullest part with the tape slightly raised in back. (Note: It is probably better to measure your upper chest with the tape under your arms and above your breasts for a more accurate neck and shoulder fit.)<br />
<br />
3. <b>Waist</b>--Tie a cord around the narrowest part. Measure. Leave cord in place for other measurements.<br />
<br />
4. <b>Full Hip</b>--Measure from behind the fullest part (7-9 inches below waist).<br />
<br />
5. <b>Back-Waist Length</b>--Measure from the top of the spine to the waistline cord.<br />
<br />
6. <b>Arm Length</b>--Measure from the shoulder bone to the elbow. With the elbow bent, measure under elbow to wristbone.<br />
<br />
7. <b>Crotch Length</b>--Sitting on a hard surface measure from the waistline cord to the surface. (Note-- for a better measurement, stand straddling a yardstick with the yardstick 90 degrees from your body. Measure from yardstick to waist. Below is a quick sketch illustrating how to get this measurement.<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Mens</b><br />
<br />
1. <b>Height</b>--same as for women.<br />
<br />
2. <b> Neck</b>--Measure around the neck about an inch above the top of the spine.<br />
<br />
3. <b>Chest</b>--With the chest slightly expanded, measure from the shoulder blades across the fullest part with the tape under armpits.<br />
<br />
4 <b>Sleeve Length</b>-- measure fromteh top of the spine across to the shoulder bone point then down the elbow. Bend the arm to a right angle and measure from under the elbow to the wrist.<br />
<br />
5. <b>Arm Length</b>-- measure same as for women<br />
<br />
6. <b> Waist</b>--Start at the navel and measure around the body.<br />
<br />
7. <b>Hip or Seat</b>--Measure at the widest part of the hips/buttocks and at the midpoint of the pelvic bone.<br />
<br />
8. <b>Crotch</b>--Measure from the waistline cord as for women.</div>

It was not until the sewing machine became widely available that a demand for home sewing patterns arose. Before the "deltor", women constructed dresses from a one size pattern that was graded at home by eye and touch. Others would trace off complicated patterns printed in magazines next to a picture of the garment-- similar to a BurdaStyle, Patrones and Ottobre magazines.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Ebenezer Butterick, a tailor, started manufacturing patterns using tissue paper and in different sizes in 1863. Patterns billed as "guaranteed to make a perfectly formed garment" sold six million in one year. It was a welcome change from the tedious tracing and fitting that was necessary with the magazine patterns. He started with boy's and men's patterns and then expaneded to womens. These were not the patterns that we are used to seeing as there were no markings until later in the late 1890's punch outs directing which piece was what with directions, and layout instructions provdided on the envelope years later. Fashion magazines featuring the styles were published (The Delineator) so one could order the patterns from them. These precut patterns made sewing patterns and fashion accessible to the growing middle classes.<br />

<br />
James McCall, another tailor, started his company McCall's patterns in 1870. McCalls started printing cutting, marking and sewing lines on their patterns in 1921. In 1968 the major pattern manufacturers agreed upon a standard for sizing so the sizes were consistent between the brands. Pattern adjustment for individuals were and continue to be necessary however. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
When this book was writtin in 1973, they do mention that personal adjustments can be programmed into computer fitted programs. These measurements "are fed into a computer, which activates a "plotter" whose stylus traced a custom pattern needing no adjustments whatsoever." I wonder how accurate this was in actuality as today, I continue to struggle to get the settings on computer generated patterns to fit me correctly.<br />
<br />
Reasons for the late appearance of sewing patterns in a world with such rich sewing heritage is no mystery. In ancient days, cloth was draped, tied and pinned and hung loosely from the body. It wasn't until clothing style became more tailored to the body (probably can be traced to the changing climate of Europe) which saw it's pinnacle in the 12th Century. The new tailored look, along with the expansion of trade that was developed during the Crusades inspired increased wool industry and an expansion of tailor's guilds in the major cities. The simple draped shapes were not sufficient, more shaped pieces were needed and the necessity to conserve the expensive fabric required shaped pattern pieces laid out to take the best advantage of the cloth. They were initially made of paper and then of cloth with no markings. The tailor's eye was the grading system and they kept their customers measures as well as liberal letting out and taking during fittings.<br />
<br />
Men (tailors) had exclusive right to the use of patterns, it being illegal for anyone else. In the 17th Century, Louis XIV granted seamstresses the right to use patterns to make the clothes for women and children. If you remember history, the male peerage were quite the peacock. King Louis, desiring that France be the epicenter of good taste in not only wine and cheese, but Mode as well, sent lifesize dolls through the courts of Europe dressed in the latest Paris fashion. The Ladies would then order their tailors and seamstresses to copy the style and be current with the fashion. Even so, in those times fashion did not change as quickly as it does now so there was time for the celebrated fashion designer/royal tailors and demimondaine to set the trend.<br />
<br />
Life size dolls were unwieldy to say the least. The idea was still good though and continued after Louis was gone. The dolls continued to communicate the latest fashion but in a much smaller size until the estimable Ebenezer pedaled his patterns. In the 1940's Robert Ricci revived the fashion doll ideas as a way to raise money for the war effort. This project is documented in <u>Theatre del la Mode</u> which can be obtained from Palmer/Pletsch at <a href="http://www.palmerpletsch.com/store/theatrebook.htm">http://www.palmerpletsch.com/store/theatrebook.htm</a> and contains lovely vintage 1940's fashion.<br />

The clothing of the dolls were correct down to the most minute detail in order to communicate the latest style. Most were made of china or alabaster. Ultimately the paper doll succeeded the china doll and were actually used in the mass market for the less well-heeled by the mid 1800's.</div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We start Chapter Three with a discussion of shape, proportion, texture, drape and color. This weekend I bring you a linktastic post to keep you busy all weekend. The way this winter is going, chances are you may be stuck inside battling cabin fever. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In the past fashion rules were strict. One did not venture in town without gloves, hat, and skirt at the correct length. It was social suicide to go without girdle and unmatched purse to shoes. Colors were dictated by the time of year-- no white after Labor Day or before Memorial Day! The goal was a classic stylish look that flattered. While the rules have lifted the principles of style have not. Creating clothing in correct pattern line, fabric, color, weight, texture and proportion to suit your shape and personal lifestyle is achievable. To do this first you have to analyze your figure and determine the silhouettes that will most flatter it. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<a href="http://www.thechicfashionista.com/body-shapes.html"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Chic Fashionista: Body Shapes</span></a><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Once the silhouettes are determined, you can find patterns that echo it. These shapes will cause your best features to be emphasized and draw less attention to the more challenging aspects of your figure. Vogue patterns has a figure guide on the back of their pattern envelopes as below:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<i><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Figure Flattery <br />
Determine your body shape from the explanations below and use our KEY TO FIGURE FLATTERY diagram to select styles that are particularly flattering to your figure. Choosing styles suited to your body shape can also eliminate the need for most pattern adjustments. Look for the figure symbol that indicates your body shape, then proceed with confidence, knowing that your pattern adjustments will be minimal and your finished garment will be pure figure flattery.<br />
<br />
THE INVERTED TRIANGLE: Large bust and/or broad shoulders with narrow hips.<br />
<br />
THE TRIANGLE: Small bust and/or narrow shoulders with full hips and/or thighs.<br />
<br />
THE RECTANGLE: Balanced on top and bottom, but boxy, with little or no waist definition.<br />
<br />
THE HOURGLASS: Equally balanced on top and bottom, with a trim waist.<br />
</span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></i>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The book discusses how empire waistlines are best for the smaller busted, trim shouldered with prominent bottom shapes. Use pleats and gathers to create fullness for slim hips (but emphasizes heavy hips). Form fitting are best for trim balanced figures with minimal proportional issues. A-line shape falls free from the shoulders and is flattering for many shapes. One way to see how the different shapes look on your body is to snoop shop at a high end department store that has a wide variety of styles. Try on different garments until you find those that look the best. Take a few notes and then go to pattern catalog and find patterns with similar lines.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Once a pattern is selected, making the fabric decision is next. Most pattern envelopes have suggested fabrics. You may also take cues from the style of pattern. For a tailored suit, one must pick fabrics that holds its shape well, that has a good hand. A flowey fabric would not work well with that style. Similarly a peasant blouse style would not work well with a stiff or heavy fabric. Weight and texture of a fabric is important to maintain the style lines of a garment. An example of the Fabrics recommended on the pattern envelope follows:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">FABRICS: Silk Tweed, Piqué and Tropical Wool. Lining: Charmeuse. Unsuitable for obvious diagonals. Allow extra fabric to match plaids or stripes. Use nap yardages/layouts for pile, shaded or one-way design fabrics. *with nap. **without nap.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Once the weight and texture properties of the fabric have been determined, you must determine what color is most flattering to you and is appropriate for the season in which the garment will be worn. Having your “colors” done can help guide you if you are not sure what looks best. There is a book called <b>Color Me Beautiful</b> by Carole Jackson that divides the different types into seasons.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> I had my colors done locally by a lady who was certified in their technique and she assessed me as a "Spring." I was given a packet of color swatches to use for clothing and fabric purchases. I have saved some money using this tool. Every season, Pantone puts out the new color trends. Most always there are colors that can fit any season's palette. Of course, once you discover your best neutrals, they can't go wrong and you can always add a pop of color elsewhere to stay on trend and work in the season’s colors with accessories. Don't talk yourself into colors that don't suit you because they are hot this season, stick to what you know works for you. This way your sewn wardrobe stays timeless.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Additionally consider the role that color plays in proportions. White and brighter colors expand, dark cooler colors minimize (now you know why I wore black for so long!) Pattern also plays a role. Vertical stripes thin a figure if thin and narrow, but expand if they are widely spaced; horizontal expand. Horizontal, if used correctly can move the eye upwards if they are narrow, but can make someone look dumpy if wide.</span><br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Choose the weight, texture, color, pattern and then decide on fiber. Many prefer natural fibers because they breathe but the synthetic fabrics are usually lower cost, have easier care and maintenance. Sometimes the best option is a blend of natural and synthetic. The best rule of thumb is to purchase the best you can afford. Quality fabric makes the difference in a high end garment.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There are many different hand stitches one does in the construction
of garments. They are used for basting, thread marking stitching lines
and permanent finishing stitches. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Basting is used with
a single thread no more than 30 inches long. When used to mark a seam
line, they are sewn directly on the seam line markings (whether markings
are tailor tacks or made with marking implements like chalk liners or
transfer paper). When they are used to fit-- sew the basting line a
fraction inside or outside the seam line -- these will be removed and
have trace. When basting a knit garment, begin them with a loose
fastening stitch as the stretch of the knit could pull it out- - also
sew loosely to allow for stretch with a smaller stitch that would be
used on wovens.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When sewing permanent seams, don't use any longer than 18 inch strand of thread.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The
Fastening Stitch: "to anchor the thread--draw the needle up through
the fabric from the wrong side and pull it through, leaving a 4 inch
loose end, insert the needle back 1/4 inch. Bring it out at the point at
which it first emerged, then pull the thread through. Insert the
needle back over the first stitch and bring it out 1/4 inch ahead .
After anchoring the thread in this fashion, proceed with the desired
stitch." (It is very easy, just a backstitch over your first stitch).</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have been reviewing the posts I have already made going through this first volume. Holy cannoli Batman, these are some long blog posts! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">While it was necessary to divide the first chapter into three parts, I have looked ahead and I see that most all the chapters will have to be done in multiple parts. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> As I begin Chapter 3, I see it starts at page 47 to page 83 and the following chapter is three times as long. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In Chapter 4 there is a section of construction order that will see me sewing up five garments and endless samples. There will be pleats, zippers and waistbands and good golly plackets! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Towards the end of the book we get to embroider (a vest and some kind of hanging), knit and crochet together (five sweaters and an afghan)-- I don't think I will be completing all those projects as I am beginner knitter and barely know how to crochet. I don't have time for every hobby under the sun d/t work and bills and stuff.. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> I find the first volume very comprehensive so am excited to see what else is store. It may take some time to get through this first volume and the future volumes. Each volume covers quite a bit of material.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I will be sewing along, following the instructions and the techniques pictured and I have to tell you all, these are not timesaving shortcut-astic kinds of techniques-- fair warning I may cheat with more modern technique because this is old school slow sewing. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>So Much Variety</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Thread comes in different weights. When this book was written,
mercurized cotton was the most common thread found in stores and used to
sew with. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> However, I recently went to Joanne's and found that
Polyester Thread is most common now with mercurized cotton sold as more
of a specialty thread. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> This may make sense for the store -- most of
their fabric are made up of polyester. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">1. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Use cotton thread to sew cotton,
linen, rayon, and cotton synthetic blends. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">2. Use silk thread (a type
called A) for silk, wool, wool-silk blends and synthetics (leaves no
lint!).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">3. Use polyester thread for knits and silk buttonhole twist for
buttons and buttonholes. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Today most of us use polyester all purpose
thread with most of our everyday kinds of clothing. Some threads are a
combination of a cotton core with poly around it (Dual Duty).</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Needle sizes to use: Size 7 or 8 for polyester and
mercurized thread; Sizes 8 or 9 for silk thread and Size 4 or 5 for
buttonhole twist.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Threading a Needle</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">To
begin to sew with a needle and thread, first you must trim the thread
at a 45 degree angle for a sharp edge to thread the needle. Threading a
needle can be tricky, you may need to tilt the needle so you can see
the eye and poke the thread through it. There are needle threaders
available on the market for those with failing vision or who are just
impatient with the process. The important thing is the needle must be
threaded. E</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">asy thread or Calyx needles are available as well but
they are best used for finishing a line of stitching. Sometimes waxing
the thread can help to stiffen it for threading.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">To
wax a thread, one draws the thread or a group of threads through
beeswax, place them between two papers and press with the iron to melt
the wax into the fibers. It produces a strong thread. Here is a How-To courtesy of YouTube: </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">To
make a knot at the end of the thread (not always needed) Take the
thread at the end, loop it around your index finger a couple of times
and then push the loop off and with index finger and thumb draw it down
the thread into a knot.</span></div>

Throughout history, In order to sew a seam, the very basic tools needed are a needle, thimble and thread. While the need to sew all seams by hand has remarkably decreased with the sewing machine available as a power tool allowing much more speed in constructing garments, the need for sewing by hand has not been eliminated. You might want to use hand sewing if you are interested in period correct historic costume or couture construction. <br />

In the 14th and 15th centuries, good needles were prized possessions. They were difficult to source and found at festival times when peddlars traveled to the villages and towns to sell their wares. Most households had only one needle. Most people only had one outfit to wear (unless they were wealthy). These bronze needles were somewhat crude and often bent to prevent them from sliding out of the fabric being sewing when put aside. Legend has that the steel needle was developed by the Chinese soon after the silk fiber was discovered by the Empress (how soon after is in question as there was no steel in China at that time).<br />
<br />
As the finer steel needle developed and was available into the reign of Queen Elizabeth from the metalsmiths of the Middle East, needlework became even more elaborate and detailed.<br />
<br />
The needles developed then and are now needles we still use today-- Sharps are what we use most often in our households; Straws, or Milliner's needles were often used to make straw hats, thicker blunter needles called Blunts, used for skill-building young women in embroidery and by tailors and cobblers to sew with leather and heavy fabrics.<br />

Needles today are available in 24 sizes. The higher the number, the smaller the needle.<br />

<br />
Thimbles were also developed in the earliest centuries. The Art of Sewing Volume 1 shows a picture of a bronze thimble found in Syria dated to 300 BC. The correct way to wear a thimble is on your middle finger of your needle or sewing hand. I'm left-handed so it would go on my left second finger. Your thimble should be lightweight and have deep enough ridges that your needle will not slip. The use of the thimble is to push the needle through the fabric using the side of the thimble, not the tip. There are a variety of thimble types available. <br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">These irons were used --before electricity. The one on the left was heated with natural gas. On the right is a "self heater" into which hot coals were placed, the conventional "iron" that was placed on the stove--many households had a few of those so one would heat while the other was in use; at the bottom are a brass iron that had a metal core that was heated separately in a stove and an early 20th century one in which the handle detaches whilst the iron heats. I can only imagine the burns as I am pretty clumsy. However, in light of going green, these irons may prove useful in a post-peak world. There could be a market.....</td></tr>

There were the irons that were heated on a stove, ones that used gas or coals placed inside. I don't believe there was much in the way of heat regulation. I cannot imagine using the irons of the past. I can only imagine the burns women would suffer while ironing. Considering everything was pressed and startched in the 18th and 19th century.... the modern steam iron, the dryer and permanent press fabrics are wildly liberating technology. </span></div>

You can find one at a department store; you usually cannot go wrong with an iron from the price point of about $35 and up. Sometimes they can be found on sale. I purchased my Conair from Big Lots for about $20. Conversely, there are gravity feed steam irons and semi-professional hand steam irons that cost $300 and up.</span></div>

The best course of action is to use pressing cloths and experiment with scraps. Start by setting the iron a little lower in temperature than is recommended to allow for variation among different brands and models of irons. Newer fabrics and chemical finishes can melt or become warped when given too much heat. Also, pay attention to interfacing. There are low heat varieties available if you are sewing with poly heat sensitive fabric.</span></div>

You use the iron from the very beginning and throughout the entire sewing process. First you press out wrinkles in the pattern (don't use steam!); then pressing the yardage before you lay the pattern pieces out. After cutting, you are using the iron to fuse interfacing. Once you start to sew, pressing seams, steaming areas eased, darts and hems -- you go from the sewing machine to the iron back and forth. You may as well have them next to each other if time is of the essence. The iron is integral in the construction of a garment, you use it to give it shape and provide clean lines. The difference between a garment constructed with pressing and without is stark. It makes all the difference.</span><br />

Ironing is when you drag or slide the hot iron along the fabric-- a long gliding movement you don't want to go backwards or you might put in wrinkles. I use this technique when pressing yardage before laying it out. </span></div>

I use this technque with collars when pressing open seams on a point presser, when pressing cuffs on a shirt and when pressing hems before sewing. Don't forget to use pressing cloths to avoid damaging the fabrics. It is good to test. A variety of press cloths are necessary for different fabrics. I keep a silk organza, a thick cotton, and a medium cotton as well as cheesecloth and vary them depending on the fabric of my project. </span></div>

<br />
Historically, a seamstress may have a basket holding at minimum a thimble, pincushion, needle box with sewing and darning needles, a measure tape and a box to hold spools of cotton thread. <br />
<br />
Today things are a bit more complicated. While we all have our favorite notions and what a selection of notions can be found; the essentials are still as easy to select.<br />
<br />
The 60 inch tape measure in fiberglass that has inches on one side and centimeters on the other;<br />
The 2 inch by 18 inch clear plastic ruler, yardstick and metal seam gauge;<br />
Pressing cloths, sleeve board and ham; <br />
Sharp shears to cut fabric, smaller ones for buttonholes, trimming and snipping threads ...... I think we have run out of room in that sewing basket!<br />

<br />
Most of our time though is spent going back and forth between the sewing machine and the steam iron; the main tools of construction.<br />
<br />
The sewing machine of today can be a very basic mechanical machine handed down from a relative or found at a garage sale for a few dollars or a technological marvel hosting its own software, firmware and motherboard rivaling the cost of a subcompact vehicle. Most every seamstress has a strong opinion on the most effective machine, it is really a matter of personal preference. The chapter discusses the history of the invention of the sewing machine.<br />
<br />
The book informs mostly about American inventors from Walter Hunt to Elias Howe to Isaac Singer. I prefer a more global view enumerated here: <a href="http://www.ismacs.net/sewing_machine_articles/who_invented_the_sewing_machine.html">Who invented the sewing machine?</a> Wouldn't you know, the savvy marketer and not the innovative inventor stole the thunder.<br />
<br />
When selecting a machine, the author recommendations are:<br />
<br />
1. The ability to sew a straight and zigzag stitch,<br />
2. Includes a zigzag foot, straight stitch foot, buttonhole foot or attachment, zipper foot. <br />
3. The choice of a heavier machine (!) as they should perform better than light ones that may move about the table during use. --I don't know if that is still an issue. Maybe some with ultralight machines may wish to weigh in?<br />
4. Choose a machine a little beyond your skills so you have room to grow. <br />
<br />
Whatever machine you choose, the most important thing is to learn to use it. In light of the year these books were published, I plan to use a vintage Kenmore that was popular at the time. Like with any machine, before use, review the manual; you can even label the knobs on your machine until you become used to it.<br />

<br />
<br />
<b>Needle size</b>: size 14 standard for woven, if sewing on knits use a size 14 ballpoint needle. <br />
<br />
<b>Thread</b>--No. 50 mercerized cotton or polyester. Use cotton with natural fabrics and polyester with man made fabrics.<br />
<br />
<b>Stitch Length</b>: Set the machine to sew at 12 stitches per inch for a basic seam. For basting set the machine at 6 stitches per inch.<br />
<br />
Your machine may not have spi (stitches per inch) measures. The machine I used had numbers for stitch length 1-2-3-4-- shortest to longest. It is helpful to sample and measure the stitches so you know what your machine stitches.<br />

<br />
<b>Preparing T</b><b>o Sew</b>: Of course, when these books were written, there were no computerized machines available so this would really only apply to a mechanical like the one shown. Turn the hand wheel until both the needle and the thread take up lever are at their highest positions (In order to prevent the thread from escaping the needle). Pull out 6 inches of thread from the needle and the bobbin. Lower the feed dogs and place the needle down into the fabric. After sewing raise the take up lever to the highest position, raise the presser foot and pull out the fabric.<br />
<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Needle and take up lever at highest level. Before starting and removing material. I wheel the needle down before stepping on the foot pedal. </td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
<br />
Use the thread cutter on the back of the machine, or scissors to cut needle and bobbin threads. If the threads are on the same side (like after sewing a dart) tie a knot close the the stitching and trim. If they are on separate sides (like after sewing a seam), tug the lower thread to pull down a loop from the upper thread; using a pin, capture it, pull to the other side and knot, trim.<br />

<br />
* I always start with needle down to prevent jamming and bobbin nests. I usually back stitch at the ends of seams and clip the threads. On darts, I don't knot, I bring it back, stitch on the seam allowance so there is a little loop at the inside of the dart which helps prevent puckers when I press. There are many updated sewing techniques that are easily accessed.<br />
<br />
<b>Sewing a Straight Seam</b>:<br />
For a permanent seam, lower the needle 1/2 inch from the beginning edge of the seam. Lower the presser foot, reverse the machine and sew backward to the edge. ( If basting, begin at the edge and do not backstitch.)<br />
<br />
Sew forward from the edge over the backstitches and continue along the tracing wheel markings. <br />
<br />
Do not pull or push fabric, allow the machine's feed dogs to feet the fabric, only guide and control to keep seam line aligned with needle.<br />
<br />
Sew to the edge of the seam, back stitch 2 or 3 stitches. Remove the fabric and cut thread as described above.<br />
<br />
<b>Sewing Angles</b>:<br />
Right angle: sew to the point of the angle, put needle down, raise pressure foot and turn fabric 90 degrees; drop pressure foot and proceed sewing.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
</div>
<br />
<b>For an Acute Angle</b>: sew to within one stitch of the point; put the needle down, pressure foot up and pivot the fabric half way, lower pressure foot and make one diagonal stitch and leave needle down. Raise pressure foot and pivot again to sew along the seam line.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<b>Sewing Curves</b>:<br />
Curves need to be reinforced so they do not stretch out. Stay stitch (which just means to stitch on one layer of fabric)-- regular length stitches 1/16 inch into the seam line (outside the seam markings). When you sew the curved seam, make the stitch length smaller -- about 15 stitches per inch -- and sew slowly using your hands to guide the fabric.<br />

<br />
<br />
<b>Eased seams</b>: While sewing an eased seam, use a seam ripper or awl to flatten out puckers just before it passes under the needle, go slowly.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Edge stitching</b>-- The pictures feature the straight stitch foot that is commonly used with singer straight stitch machines. As you can see, one side is very thin, and the other is thick. The author recommends that you use the inside edge of the short toe. If using an all-purpose foot, use the right toe. This is a nice stitch on a collar. To turn a corner, put needle down at the point, raise the pressure foot and pivot the fabric as for the sharp angled seam. Use an awl or seam ripper to push the point under the pressure foot.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<br />
<b>Topstitching</b>--Use the numbered lines on the throat plate as a guide to top stitch a straight line more than 1/4 inch from the fabric edge. Use a nearby seam as a guide for any line of stitching more than 3/4 inch from fabric edge. You can even just measure it yourself and put a homemade seamguide if you don't see the markings that well. Some machines don't have very obvious measures. There are also top stitching or quilter guides that come as an accessory to your machine.<br />

<b>Sewing Zippers</b>-- when sewing on a zipper use the zipper foot that allows you to move the foot to the left and the right of the needle so you can stitch close to the zipper teeth and avoid the pull and the teeth from interfering with the stitching.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Ripping out a Line of Stitching</b> (yes, we all have to do it).<br />
On one side of the seam, use your seam ripper to cut stitches at one inch intervals. On the other side, pull out the thread. Make sure to pick out any thread bits leftover.<br />

<b>Sewing Knits</b>-- Bear this in mind--This book was written before home sergers or overlock machines became available for the home sewer.<br />
<br />
The early 1970s saw the Stretch and Sew technique. AT this time the polyesters and double knits became more available and women were cranking out mini-dresses, dress vests and pantsuits like there was no tomorrow. By the mid 1970's it was disco shirts,disco skirts and leisure jackets.<br />
<br />
This is how they did it: After the first stitch, use one hand to pull the knit fabric taut in front of the needle while the other hand is pulling the threads in back. As more fabric becomes available in back, grasp it with the thread holding hand and stretch the fabric taut as you sew. When sewing a curved seam, reinforce it by sewing a row of small stitches (15 stitches per inch) on the stitch line and then sew a second row 1/16th inch from the sewn seam in the seam allowance.<br />
<br />
To rip out, spread the seam and cut the thread, repeat until seam is apart. Finish raw seam edges with a zigzag 1/2 inch in from the seam, trim.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
My demonstrations are on a mid 1970's machine, following the directions in the book. We will cover knits by and by in a future volume. I don't sew my knits like this normally! If you are sewing knits, it is not necessary to finish the seam allowances on the inside as knits do not ravel. However, most use an overlock which does finish them as it seams the fabric.<br />
<br />
It is wise to review your sewing machine manual and practice all the functions on scraps to get a good idea of how your machine runs and good practice. I think today's knits would not recover well with the 1970s method.<br />
<br />

1. Introduction to the Classic Techniques<br />
Enduring Styles: Understated and Adaptable<br />
<br />
The introduction discusses fashion and what constitutes a classic look.<br />
<br />
Fashion changes constantly reflecting the mercurial nature of society. One can look at a style and name the decade it comes from as it captures the zeitgeist of the time.<br />
<br />
I think that is true. If you look closely, popular culture bears this out. The clothing on the television series Madmen and Boardwalk Empire not only reveal the culture and spirit of the times they portray but they also inform and inspires today's designers such as Michael Kors and Marc Jacobs. <br />

Broad popular social movements, prosperity, rebelliousness against the government's prohibition and the liberation from the corset informed the fashions of the day in the 1920's where licentiousness and gaity were reflected in film and literature. Despite the suffragette's fight for the right to vote, women were still very much kept dependent, unable to open bank accounts without their husband's signature and despite the "It Girl" Clara Bow's bobbed hair popularity, the Mary Pickford/Lillian Gish ideal was still popular (long ringlets) depicting women's beauty in appearing like a young girl.<br />

The television series Mad Men reflects the early 1960's in which women, while not corseted, are quite tightly upholstered in girdles and brassieres. Society's fashion and beauty ideals looked to the elegance of Jacqueline Kennedy and the vulnerable sexiness of Marilyn Monroe. The series displays the changes that occur as the country appears to transition from a childhood to a more cynical and limit-testing adolescence after the assassination of President Kennedy. The girdles come off, the hemlines rise as they did in the 1920's and women demand more equal rights. In a journey of independence from Sex and The Single Girl to The Feminine Mystique half the population wakes up and their clothes reflect this awakening.<br />

Back to the book... The signature of a Classic is the quality of having permanence of shape and proportion that have endured over time.<br />
<br />
What makes a Classic design?<br />
1. Simplicity and adaptability.<br />
2. Excellence in cut and proportion to maintain an essential shape.<br />
3. Conservative color-- neutrals--black, white, grey, beige, navy.<br />
4. Fabric--quality; inconspicuous and soft. Think flannel, gabardine, plain weaves, thick weaves, jersey knits. Subdued textures and pattern: herringbone, small check, subdued polka dot, pinstripes.<br />
<br />
The Mother of the Classic Look in Modern Fashion: Coco Chanel. Her signatures looks were synonymous with comfort, function and minimal decorative touches.

She made tanning popular too, which might also make her the Melanoma Momma as well.<br />
<br />
Roots of the classic clothing are found in antiquities-- the skirt, the shirt/chemise, the tunic/sheath--over the years these basic garments were reinvented over and over again.<br />

Simple designs demand quality of materials and construction to achieve a classic garment, one that stands out; that makes the difference between fashion from "just clothes." There are subtle differences in design and construction the maker institutes that causes the wearer to emphasize their best qualities and downplay unflattering features. They make adjustments in hem, pleats or neckline that give the efffect of elegance rather than dumpiness.<br />
<br />
The ingredients for producing a classic garment are:<br />
1. The design of the pattern.<br />
2. Fabric thickness and texture.<br />
3. Fabric pattern and print scale and color.<br />
4. Quality of construction.<br />
<br />
While we might feel that our control extends only to #4-- quality of construction; the home sewer truly has control of it all. In the fashion world, there are many people who work as a team to produce a collection. There is the designer who creates a design, hands it to a patternmaker who drapes or fabricates a pattern based upon the interpretation of the design. There there is a sewer who zips a muslin together puts it on the fit model which is inspected once again by the designer who may make changes and that is repeated to their satisfaction until the final pattern is agreed upon. The samples are made, it is shown by salesmen or showcase and orders are made, it is graded and then cut, then stitched by machine operators, sent to be pressed and then sent to the retail stores.<br />
<br />
Here we are, one person in our sewing room. There are hundreds of pattern designs available for our selection. We have infinite and unlimited ability to make changes to these patterns. We choose what fiber and type fabric to use, what colors, what prints, what reinforcement materials. Then we fit our fit model-- whether is ourselves, our children or maybe even a customer. We do the cutting, marking, sewing, pressing and the decorative details. We choose the buttons, the zipper, the braid, the embroidery, what buttonhole type. So yes, you are a one woman industry.<br />
<br />
While many people are intimidated by sewing, it is really probably easier than they think. Sewing is very logical. Every elements of constructing a garment has a rationale that is easy to determine. Darts clearly function to attractively fit fabric over the curves of a body. For example, the armscye in which the shoulder is eased and the underarm curves are trimmed allow for the free movement of your arms and shoulders. The logic of sewing construction in relation to movement and form makes fitting understandable as you work backward from which seam is causing an issue once you determine what that seam is supposed to accomplish.<br />
<br />
This first volume provides explanation of classic techniques that are used with every garment from setting a zipper, sewing a successful curved seam, to setting a waistband. <br />
<br />
The classic shapes include with variations: The Blouse/Dress; the Skirt, the Pant and the Coat/Dress/Jacket.<br />
