Sewing garments

The human race universally wears articles of clothing-also known as dress, garments, or attire-on the body in order to protect it against the different climate conditions. In its broadest sense, clothing is defined as the coverings of the torso and limbs, as well as the coverings for the hands, feet and head. But people wear clothing for functional as well as social reasons. Apart from the practical functions of placing a piece of garment above the skin, wearing clothes also carries specific cultural and social meanings. There is a great variety of items in the wardrobe that people wear, demonstrate, love and care.

T-shirtsare classic and versatile. It seems you can never have too many. It is necessary to select your knit fabric from the array of stripes, prints, and colourful solids available. To help you decide which pattern to buy, note the way the T-shirts fit the models. Some patterns are designed for an “oversized” look, others are meant to fit the form of your body more closely. Your pattern should have four pieces: front, back, sleeve, and neck ribbing. Some may also have a piece for sleeve ribbing.

The fit of the T-shirt will vary with the fabric’s degree of stretch. T-shirt patterns, designed for knits only, indicate the amount of stretch required of the fabric. For instance, “25% stretch crosswise” would indicate that 10 cm of fabric will stretch on the crosswise grain an additional 2.5 cm. You should always test the degree of stretch in the fabric, especially if you are making a close-fitting T-shirt.

T-shirts are the easiest to sew using 6 mm seam allowances. The pattern should be laid out and the fabric cut. You should place the T-shirt front over the back, right sides together, aligning the shoulder seam allowance edges, pinning them. Then it is necessary to stitch the front and back T-shirt sections together.

Pull-on skirts. Skirts with elastic waistbands are classic, comfortable, and easy-care. Straight or flared versions in varying lengths can be coordinated with a variety of sweaters or other tops for business, dress, or casual wear. Some patterns can be designed only for knits and generally fit the body closer, counting on the stretchiness of the fabric to allow you to slide the skirt over your hips. Patterns suitable for woven fabrics will include extra fullness. You may select a pattern with two pieces: a front and a back. An elastic casing at the waistline is formed from excess fabric length at the skirt top. The skirt itself may be constructed of two, three, or four sections, depending on whether or not there are center front or back seams. To construct a knit skirt an amount of fabric equal to twice the width of the elastic must be allowed above the waistline. Measure this distance from the waistline, and mark a new cutting line on your pattern.

Pull-on pantswith elastic waists are easy to fit and easy to sew. When sewn in supple, lightweight wovens, such as rayon or microfiber, they are elegant enough for evening wear. For sportier looks, cotton, cotton blends, linen, or seersucker work well and can be paired with simple T-shirts or blouses.

Select a pants pattern with two main pieces: the front and the back. The elastic casing for the waist is formed from excess fabric at the top. This pattern will be good for pants without pockets.

Vests, in a variety of styles, enhance wardrobes by complementing skirts, slacks, or dresses. They can be worn over knit tops, turtlenecks, or blouses, to fit the occasion.

For easy sewing, you should select a loose-fitting, lined vest, and look for a pattern with two main pattern pieces: a front and a back. Good choices of fabric for a loose-fitting vest include cotton, cotton blends, rayon, linen, denim, wool crepe, wool gabardine, and corduroy. It is necessary to select lining fabric made specifically for that purpose, or use lightweight cotton or blends.

Vests have become the palette for a variety of artistic techniques. Add embroidery, beading, or painting to personalize your vest. Lining fabric is often used for both the inside and the outside of the vest back.

Wrap skirtsare made from a rectangle of fabric; no pattern is needed. The rectangle size is determined from your own measurements; so the skirt is sure to fit. The upper edge is softly gathered onto a flat waistband, which is secured with a button closure.

A wrap skirt is a perfect candidate for a border-print fabric. The continuous design that runs along one selvage becomes the lower edge of the skirt. Other suitable fabrics include solid colors and small, nondirectional prints.

Unlined jackets. Collarless jackets are versatile additions to any wardrobe. Those that are loose-fitting and unlined, with drop-shoulder styling and patch pockets, are easy to make.

You should look for a pattern that includes pieces for front, back, sleeve, front facing, back facing, and pocket. These directions are for square bottom front corners.

As with any other project, the fabric of your jacket will determine whether it will be more suitable for casual, business, or dress. Cotton, cotton blends, and denim would be good choices to wear with jeans or casual slacks and skirts. Wool, wool blends, linen, and rayon work for business or dress. When you’re feeling really confident, you might even consider making a jacket of suit-weight silk.

Some jackets do not overlap at the front, but merely meet at the center. For these styles, you can add decorative closures.
