editor’s note

… SPRING 2015

ONE OF MY FAVORITE THINGS

about spring is shedding the clothing layers of the colder months. But wearing fewer clothes certainly doesn’t mean you need to compromise your style. Fortunately, the pages of this issue are filled with spring’s best fashions that you can make today from classic cuts (p. 26) and casual separates for all sizes (p. 32) to wedding gowns (p. 48) and modern whites (p. 54). And of course, fabric plays a key role in your custom, made-by-you wardrobe. The foundation of a good garment, fabric is more than just a print or a texture. Fabric is the drape, the shape, and the structure (or lack thereof) of an outfit, and buying it is one of the guilty pleasures of many sewers (fabric stash, anyone?). This is our second annual fabric issue, and it’s jampacked with great stuff for all skill levels! You’ll find fabric care tips from our readers (p. 111), a guide to working with specialty fabrics (p. 104), and some detailed fabric manipulation techniques (p. 102). I’m excited to be a part of your journey through building your fashionable wardrobe. Let me know what you sew, and be sure to keep in touch online! Happy spring! And happy sewing!

Instructions

If you’ve never used a Burda pattern before, or you need a little reminder, these valuable hints will help make your garment a sure success. Burda patterns are slightly different than other brands, so read through these instructions thoroughly before you begin your project. Some of the patterns in the magazine will be found on the pattern insert sheets stapled into the magazine. To access those patterns, bend the staples open, remove the sheets, then close the staples again. The rest of the patterns are available as digital downloads at BurdaStyle.com. You’ll see the full URL beside the pattern number in the following instruction pages.

Patterns on the insert sheets. n Burda patterns available on the insert sheets include 5⁄8" (1.5 cm) seam allowances and 11⁄2" (3.8 cm) hem allowances. n In the garment’s pattern overview box in the sewing instructions, you’ll find the color of the pattern line (red, blue, green, or black), the pattern sheet location (A–D), the pattern piece numbers, the size outlines, and the pattern piece flats. n To find the pattern pieces, look for each pattern piece number in the stated color along the edge of the appropriate pattern sheet. For example, if your garment has its pattern in green on sheet C and includes pieces 1–7, look along the edges of pattern sheet C to find the number 1 written in green. Once you’ve found that, use it as your starting point to follow an imaginary line perpendicular to the pattern sheet edge until you point to the green 1 along a pattern piece cutting line. That’s the pattern piece you need. Do the same for the remaining pattern piece numbers. n Some pattern pieces may have been split in two to fit on the pattern insert sheets. If this is the case, the pattern piece number (1 for example) will be seen on the indicated sheet a second time with the letter “a”. You will combine piece 1 with piece 1a by lining up the joining line (a double line) and matching the small triangles. n Trace the pattern pieces onto pattern paper. n Copy all markings and seam numbers onto your new paper pattern pieces. Check them against the drawings in the instructions to ensure they were copied correctly.

Additional information: n The fabric requirements given are based on the fabric used in our original designs. These amounts will change if you use fabric of a different width. n The cutting layouts included with the sewing instructions show our recommended way to place the pattern pieces. Unless instructed otherwise, fold the fabric in half with the right sides together, bringing together the opposing selvedges. When cutting from a single layer of fabric, the right side of the fabric should face up. n Pattern pieces shown in the cutting layout with broken outlines should be pinned to the fabric with the printed side facing down. n Pattern pieces shown in the cutting layout with shading require interfacing. Shaded areas of a larger pattern piece require interfacing for that particular portion. n Transfer the pattern piece lines to the wrong side of the fabric with tailor‘s chalk. Hand-baste along placement lines (e.g. for pockets or center front) to make them visible on the right side of the fabric.

Patterns available as downloads n Burda patterns available as digital downloads can be purchased online at BurdaStyle.com. Most do not include seam and hem allowances. We recommend adding 5⁄8" (1.5 cm) for seams and 11⁄2" (3.8 cm) for hems. Instructions may indicate otherwise, but if not, this is the standard. n To download the pattern pieces needed, go to the URL listed in the sewing instructions and find the appropriate garment’s PDF. n Print your pattern PDF (using the latest version of Adobe Reader) on 81⁄2" × 11" (A4) paper. Select the option to print the PDF at its actual size. Do not select “fit to page”. n Assemble your PDF pages, following the instructions included with the download.

TIP

Fabrics may shrink when laundered for the first time, especially those made of

cotton, linen, and rayon. To avoid shrinkage of the finished garment, these fabrics should be pre-treated (washed and dried before cutting out the fabric pieces). Use the temperature settings you plan to use for the finished garment. If you want to test the amount of shrinkage of your fabric, cut a square of the fabric and measure it exactly. Finish the edges, then wash it, and compare the size after washing with the original size.

For the best fit, it’s important to take precise measurements. Measure your body while wearing underwear or close-fitting garments, and have someone assist you if needed. Use a flexible measuring tape to measure around your body, ensuring the tape is taut but not tight and parallel to the floor. Stand upright with a relaxed posture, and breathe normally while you measure. 1 Bust: Measure around the fullest part of your bust. Neck circumference: Measure the circumference at the base of the neck and above the collarbone. 2 Waist: Measure around your natural waist, the narrowest part. Hips: Measure horizontally around the fullest part of your bottom and upper thighs. Additional measurements: 3 Front waist length: Measure from the side base of the neck over the apex of the bust to the natural waistline. Bust depth: Measure from the side base of the neck to the apex of the bust.

4 Back waist length: Measure from the base of your neck to the natural waistline. Back width: Measure horizontally between your arm attachment points. 5 Shoulder: Measure from the base of your neck to the tip of your shoulder. Upper arm: Measure around the fullest part of your upper arm. 6 Arm length: With your arm slightly bent, measure from the tip of your shoulder over the elbow to the natural waistline.

Important: Compare your body measurements to the appropriate Burda size chart here or on BurdaStyle.com. Circle each of your body measurements on the size chart since you may want to adjust your pattern to fit a range of sizes. Your Burda size will be different from your regular store-bought clothing size.

SEWING INFORMATION

INTERFACING Most Burda garments use fusible interfacing, and the pieces that require interfacing are indicated on the cutting layout by gray shading. If the fabric is not compatible with fusible interfacing, substitute sew-in. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for all fusible interfacings, as some require moisture for proper fusing and others do not. Always test interfacing on a scrap of your garment fabric to be sure it’s compatible and adds the needed body and stability. INVISIBLE ZIPPER Many Burda designs feature an invisible zipper—they’re easy to install and no topstitching shows on the finished application, making for a clean, smooth seam. You will need a special invisible zipper foot for installation, and they’re available where zippers are sold. Be sure to get the version that fits your machine model. Invisible

zippers are installed before the seam is sewn, unlike conventional zippers where the seam is sewn to the opening, and then the zipper is installed. NOTIONS Each pattern indicates notions specific to that design. In addition, you will require fabric scissors, pins, tailor’s chalk, matching threads, and other sewing essentials, plus tools for tracing pattern pieces including paper scissors, rulers, tape, and pattern paper. Garments with zippers require the use of a zipper foot for your machine—either a standard foot for regular zippers, or an invisible zipper foot for invisible zippers. SEAM FINISHING It’s always a good idea to finish raw edges on woven fabrics, but knits do not usually require finishing. Seam allowances should be finished separately unless otherwise indicated. Use an overedge, zigzag or overcast stitch for finishing, or serge raw edges. Lined garments generally do not require seam finishing as seams will be encased by the lining. UNDERSTITCHING Understitching involves edgestitching the seam allowance to the garment underside so that the lining or facing remains on the inside of the garment and doesn’t roll out. To understitch, press the seam allowances toward the lining or facing, then trim and grade the seam allowances and clip curves if needed. With the fabric facing right side up, edgestitch on the lining/facing side, sewing through all seam allowances to hold them in place. Understitching is not visible on the outside of the garment and is most commonly found along necklines and armholes.

To install an invisible zipper, follow these steps: n Open the zipper and push the zipper teeth/ coil back with your thumbnail to reveal the seamline marking between the zipper tape and the coil. Place the open zipper right-side down on the fabric right side of one opening edge, and align the invisible zipper seamline marking with the fabric seamline. (The zipper tape will be on the same side as the fabric edge.) Pin the zipper tape in place. The bottom end of the zipper will extend past the marked opening end. Place the invisible zipper foot over the zipper so the coil is in one of the notches and the needle is aligned with the seamline. Stitch the zipper in place from the top down. Close the zipper. n Place the other zipper tape right-side down on the right side of the fabric of the opposite opening edge. Align, pin, and sew the other side of the zipper in place just as you did in the previous step. Close the zipper. n Stitch the seam below the zipper, from the bottom to the top. As you approach the bottom of the zipper, turn the loose lower end of the zipper out of the way. Stitch as close as possible to the last stitches of the zipper seams. The zipper tail remains loose inside the garment, or you can trim it and bind the ends if desired.

GLOSSARY OF TERMS AND TECHNIQUES BACKSTITCH Stitching in reverse for a short distance at the beginning and end of a seamline to secure the stitches. Most machines have a button or knob for this function (also called backtack). BASTING Using long, loose stitches to hold something in place temporarily. To baste by machine, use the longest straight stitch length available on your machine. To baste by hand, use stitches at least 1⁄4" (6 mm) long. Use a contrasting thread to make the stitches easier to spot for removal. BIAS The direction across a fabric at a 45-degree angle from the lengthwise or crosswise grain. The bias has high stretch and a very fluid drape. DART This stitched triangular fold is used to give shape and form to the fabric to fit body curves.

crosswise. The lengthwise grain runs parallel to the selvedges; the crosswise grain should always be perpendicular to the lengthwise threads. In knit fabrics, the lengthwise grain runs along the wales (ribs), parallel to the edges, with the crosswise grain running along the courses (perpendicular to the wales). GRAINLINE A pattern marking showing the direction of the grain. Make sure the grainline marked on the pattern runs parallel to the lengthwise grain of your fabric, unless the grainline is specifically marked as crosswise or bias. INTERFACING Material used to stabilize or reinforce fabrics. Fusible interfacing has an adhesive coating on one side that adheres to fabric when ironed.

EDGESTITCH A row of topstitching placed very close (1⁄16"–1⁄8" [2–3 mm]) to an edge or an existing seamline.

RIGHT SIDE The front side, or the side that should be on the outside of a finished garment. On a printed fabric, the print will be stronger on the right side of the fabric.

FABRIC GRAIN The grain is created in a woven fabric by the threads that travel lengthwise and

RIGHT SIDES TOGETHER The right sides of two fabric layers should be facing each other.

burda style.com

SEAM ALLOWANCE The amount of fabric between the raw edge and the seamline. SELVEDGE This is the tightly woven border on the lengthwise edges of woven fabric and the finished lengthwise edges of knit fabric. STITCH IN THE DITCH Stitches sewn directly into the “ditch” of a seamline. To stitch in the ditch, lay the garment right-side up under the presser foot. Sew in the “ditch” between the two fabric pieces, and the stitches will disappear into the seam. TOPSTITCH Used to hold pieces firmly in place and/ or to add a decorative effect, a topstitch is simply a stitch that can be seen on the outside of the garment or piece. To topstitch, make a line of stitching on the outside (right side) of the piece, usually a set distance from an existing seam or edge. WRONG SIDE The wrong side of the fabric is the underside, or the side that should be on the inside of a finished garment. On a print fabric, the print will be lighter or less obvious on the wrong side of the fabric.

EASE PLEAT Coat and jacket linings require some ease to allow for movement, and the simplest way to provide that is by adding an ease pleat at the center back of the lining. Before cutting your fabric, add 3⁄4" (2 cm) to the center back seam or center back fold of the pattern, so you’re actually adding a total of 11⁄2" (3.8 cm) of extra fabric for ease. With right sides together, 3⁄4" (2 cm) away from the center back edge, stitch at the top and bottom of the back piece parallel to the center back edge for 2" (5 cm). Backstitch at the seam ends. In between those permanent stitching lines, baste along the 3⁄4" (2 cm) line. Press the ease pleat to one side, and baste across the top and bottom to hold the pleat in place. Once the lining is sewn into the garment, remove the basting to open the ease pleat.

Fabric Manipulation

·

Four construction techniques that also add detail BY AMANDA KAUFMANN

Fabric manipulation is any technique that reshapes and/or adds surface interest to fabric. In fashion, these techniques can be integral to a garment’s construction, or used as embellishments. The most commonly used manipulations come from four main categories: pleats, gathers, smocking, and quilting. Familiarity with these techniques allows you to alter the shape of a garment or simply add interesting details.

worked on the fabric before sewing the garment, or included as part of the garment’s sewing pattern.

direction, knife pleats are often used in skirts to add fullness to the hem while keeping it fitted at the waist. BOX PLEATS: A box pleat is made when two pleats are folded over to meet each other in the middle. They are often found in the center front of a skirt, to provide some fullness to the hem and allow fitting at the waist. These pleats can also be placed in the lower center back seam of a skirt as a kick pleat. A box pleat sewn across its top and bottom may be used on one side of a purse allowing the purse to lie flat when empty and to have extra room when filled. Variations: Some variations of the box pleat include the inverted box pleat and the double box pleat. The inverted box pleat is just the reverse of a box pleat—the two pleats are folded to the inside of the project instead of outside. A double box pleat means that two folds of fabric are folded towards the center on both sides. This provides more fullness at the hem as well as an interesting design choice. ACCORDION PLEATS: These pleats are so named because they resemble the bellows of an accordion and are created by folding the fabric back and forth (like how one would make a paper fan). Normally used in a skirt, with the folds of the fabric running vertically, they provide some fullness at the hem. For the folds to permanently maintain their crease down the fabric length, they need to be professionally heat set. TUCKS: Tucks are small pinches of fabric sewn in repeated or free-form patterns. Like knife pleats, they can vary in size and also reduce the fabric size. For basic

Pleating is essentially pressing and/or sewing a fold of fabric to its side. The fold can be anywhere from 1⁄8" (4 mm), often called a pintuck, to several inches/centimeters. You may also have pleats of varying size in a garment as a style choice. For pleats to stay in place, they are pressed in the desired direction and sewn across the top and/or bottom. The folds on some pleats may also be sewn down along part or all of the length.

sewing basics tucks, the space between each tuck is equal to the unfolded width of one tuck. Variations: There are many variations in tucks, including altering the space between and the sizes of each tuck. For a close tuck, the space between each tuck is half the width of an unfolded tuck. Pintucks are very narrow in size, generally 1⁄8" (4 mm) width folded. To create a smocked effect, press tucks to stand upright, and then hand-sew one tuck to another at regular intervals. Another variation is “tuck and fold.” This is created by pressing and sewing the tucks in one direction, and then sewing all or some of them back in the opposite direction between the original seams to create a wave effect. How many times you sew them in the opposite direction, and if you fold the entire tuck back, or just half of it, adds creative options to this technique.

Folding shapes

EMBELLISHMENT

The following pleating techniques can be used on fabric trims and ribbons applied to garments.

·

BOX PLEATS There are many ways to fold a box pleat on decorative trim, so experimenting with, and combining, the following techniques is recommended. The basic starting point is to create a row of box pleats right next to each other down the length of a trim, and then sew them with one line of stitching down the center. You can also take various sections of the pleats, fold them in different directions, and hand-sew them in place. Variations: These are just a few of the many options. A "pinch top" is when you sew the top edge and the bottom edge of an inverted box pleat together. To make a diamond, pull the top layer of fabric at the center top edge down to the bottom center edge. Create squares by folding all four corners of a box towards the center. Fold the top right and bottom right

Mix and Match Many of these techniques can be found in pattern instructions, but if you’re adding them to a basic pattern, the manipulation should be done before cutting the garment or alter the pattern to include the width needed for the technique, as most will change the fabric/garment size.

corners towards the center to create a triangle. For a houndstooth effect, pull two opposite corners of the box towards the center and repeat down the length of trim. FOLDING SHAPES: To get the same kind of effects of folded box pleats, but with more freedom of movement, cut out fabric shapes and fold them. Use fabric that does not ravel, or create a faced shape by sewing two pieces of fabric together. Start with a basic shape, like a square or circle, and then play around with folding. Individual folded shapes can then be sewn into a circle, row, or design area on the garment.

GATHERS

Gathering fabric is much like pleating, except that the pinches of fabric are almost immeasurably small and don’t need to be uniform in size. The easiest way to create gathers is to sew long running stitches 1 ⁄4" (6 mm) from the cut edge of the fabric leaving tails of thread at each end. Push the edges of the fabric towards each other along the thread to form gathers. The longer the stitches are, the deeper the gathers will be.

· · ·

GATHERING STITCHES are used to fit a larger piece of fabric to a smaller one. Common examples of gathers in garment construction are dirndl skirts (gathers produce full skirts fitted at the waist), the cap of set-in sleeves, and shoulder and waist seams in blouses to allow for bust fullness.

Which fabrics for what? The choice of fabric will affect the success of fabric manipulation techniques, so determine the fabric weight and body related to the intended use. Lightweight, soft fabrics are best for gathers, and lightweight fabrics with body are best for smocking. Use medium-weight fabrics with body for pleats and quilting. Always test the intended technique on scraps of fabric and see how it works. If you need more body, add a lightweight interfacing to the fabric underside.

Shirring

Ruching

Gathering stitches

¼"

RUCHING: The stitches that ruche fabric are the same as gathers, but their application is different. Ruching can be used for a gathered overlay or garment inset and is often sewn to a backing fabric to maintain its shape. Ruching is created by gathering both sides of a fabric section so the gathers run from side to side. This is a common technique used in heirloom sewing.

with ruching and gathering, shirring is created using parallel rows of gathering stitches, sometimes worked in shapes (such as a spiral circle, grid, or free-form), or zigzags. Shirring stitches can be sewn with elastic thread in the bobbin to create fabric with stretch. These shirred pieces are commonly used for dress bodices, especially in childrenswear.

Sewing Challenging Fabrics Tools and techniques to take control BY CHRISTINE CARSON

There is a certain thrill when blindly diving into a sewing project, but advanced sewers sometimes opt to take on a sewing challenge with their eyes wide open. Preparation, planning, and good information can make all the difference in your project, particularly when dealing with challenging fabrics. An important part of preparing for any project is being sure you have the best tools for each task. When it comes to sewing, your machine’s needle, thread, and presser foot all have a direct impact on a project’s final outcome, and are worth careful consideration. Let’s take a closer look at four challenging fabrics and what you need to sew them.

SATIN This fabric is a great choice for evening-wear, graduation gowns, bridesmaid’s dresses, and more. Satin’s light-reflecting sheen and drape make it popular to wear, but its tight weave and slippery nature can make it onerous to sew. For best results, be sure to leave yourself plenty of time to adjust and test your machine’s settings before you begin sewing your satin project. Start by shortening the stitch length and installing a walking foot if you have one. A walking foot will help minimize slippage by feeding both layers of the fabric through the machine at an even pace. Puckering and thread pulls can be resolved by using a new small microtex (sharp) needle and fine lingerie thread. Finally, if your fabric

104

burda style.com

BS_MachineMaster_Spr15.indd 104

is being pulled into the machine needle hole as you sew, consider changing to a single-hole throat plate and/or presser foot or adjusting the needle to the far left positioning. Once you are satisfied with the results on the test fabric, make a note of all your adjustments (including

foot, needle, thread, etc.) and then begin sewing your satin project. Some satin fabrics also ravel very easily, so to keep seams intact, consider binding the seam allowance edges with a lining-weight fabric, or trim and zigzag the edges to minimize the fraying.

Although the name could fool you, the satin stitch on your machine isn’t related to the fabric of the same name. In fact, the two actually aren’t very compatible. A satin stitch is a dense zigzag used for decorative purposes like appliqué or other embellishment. This stitch requires the use of a satin stitch foot, with a recessed underside, to allow the thread bulk to pass under it. Satin stitching can be done using all-purpose thread, or any number of decorative options like rayon, metallic, or acrylic threads. When satin stitching, use a stabilizer under the fabric to prevent tunneling and puckering.

VELVET Always luxurious, velvet is a woven fabric created by slicing in half two pieces of fabric that have been woven together, resulting in two lengths of fabric with an even, dense pile. While this pile makes velvet wonderfully tactile to wear, it creates a great challenge even for advanced sewers prepared to take their time. Start the project right by using a fresh, universal needle in a size corresponding to the velvet weight. The thread type will depend on the fiber content of the velvet. A high-quality polyester thread is a good option, unless you are sewing silk velvet, in which case silk or mercerized cotton thread is recommended. Use a presser foot that will help feed the fabric evenly while minimizing shifting as you sew. Depending on the make and model of your machine, you may have the option of using a velvet foot (like Janome has for their 1600P series), although you can achieve great results with a walking or roller foot as well. Be sure to try the presser foot on a scrap of the project velvet. If your presser foot leaves marks on the velvet, try reducing the presser foot pressure. If marks are still left, try a different presser foot.

Sewing hint Be sure to sew a test seam on a scrap of any difficult fabric. Once you get the desired results, note the machine settings, presser foot, and thread used. This can streamline the set-up process in the future.

DENIM Many a beginner sewer has experienced the frustration of attempting to sew denim without the proper tools. This rugged and sometimes thick fabric can bend and break sewing machine needles, snap threads, and even damage lightweight sewing machines. Using denim-specific tools and techniques will minimize any issues. Start by choosing a denim needle. This is a strong, reinforced needle with a modified tip, and it’s made to handle the challenge of sewing through multiple layers of dense fabric. Denim thread is the most suitable thread to use because it provides the durability needed for sewing thick fabrics, and it comes in a variety of fashionable denim colors including oranges and yellows for topstitching. Denim thread options vary from

heavy duty 100% cotton to poly/cotton blends. Take the time to choose the foot and settings on your machine that are best suited for denim. A good example is the BERNINA Jeans foot #8 for straight stitching on heavy fabrics. This foot is paired with a straight-stitch plate, and together they provide additional stability that can solve many denim-sewing issues. Finally, some sewers use a simple plastic tool called a “Hump Jumper” or “Jean-a-ma-jig”. Both are simple, inexpensive plastic tools that fit behind the machine presser foot. They act as a shim to keep the presser foot level, allowing you to sew over flat-felled and other thick seams without skipped or uneven stitches or bending the needle.

SPANDEX A slippery and stretchy knit, these two qualities make spandex versatile and great to wear, but challenging to sew. Start off with a jersey or stretch needle. Both machine needles have a medium ballpoint tip (instead of a sharp tip) suitable for knits, and a stretch needle is specially designed for extreme stretch fabric like swimwear. The wearability of a spandex garment depends on stretchable, comfortable seams. To achieve this, many clothing manufactures use texturized nylon (or polyester) thread. While it’s not widely used for conventional sewing machines (because the stretchy thread can wreak havoc with your machine tension mechanism), many sewers hand-wind it onto the bobbin. Hand-winding maintains the thread’s elasticity, and when paired with a polyester upper thread, the resulting seams are flexible with excellent stretch recovery. It’s ideal for use in serger loopers as well. Wavy seams are another common spandex sewing issue. Some machines offer adjustable presser foot pressure, and reducing the pressure while sewing spandex will help alleviate rippling seams. Another way to reduce wavy seams is to use a walking foot (with this, upper and lower feed dogs simultaneously feed the fabric under the needle) to help alleviate stretching, slipping, and puckering.

Sewing has always been a part of CHRISTINE CARSON's life. She enjoys sewing dresses and costumes, but most of all, she loves being inspired by fabrics and notions. Christine lives in Toronto.

FROM THE EDITOR “Another way to sew with spandex is to use your serger for all the internal seams and only use your regular sewing machine for finishing edges. When sewing spandex with your serger, if you’re working with a pattern that requires seam allowances to be added, make sure to measure the stitch width to determine how much seam allowance to add to the pattern. You’ll also want to barely stretch the spandex fabric while serging, or adjust the differential feed mechanism to reduce puckering or stretching. Use the

conventional sewing machine to hem edges and zigzag them in place, or topstitch with a twin needle to make your garment look storebought! —meg healy, online editor

Ruffles

·

RUFFLES: Gathering stitches down a long strip of fabric produces ruffles. If the stitches are sewn along the long edge of the fabric, it creates a frill that can be sewn onto a garment, like the bottom edge of a skirt. When the gathering stitch is sewn down the middle, it creates a double ruffle. Ruffles can be applied anywhere—a neckline, sleeve edge, waistline, or decoratively around a garment hem. If the strip of fabric is cut on the bias, it does not need to have an edge finish. Bias-cut ruffles also form the base of fabric rosettes.

SMOCKING

There are two main categories of smocking: English and American. English smocking is decorative, provides stretch, and is often used in the bodices of children’s clothing. American smocking is also decorative, but it is thicker and more robust, and more formal in aesthetic.

·

ENGLISH SMOCKING is a combination of shirring fabric and embroidery. The first step is to create even rows of gathering stitches and shirr the fabric. Then hand-sew the top edges of two adjacent

English smocking

·

gathers (often referred to as pleats) together with a small knot. Sew the same two gathers together further down from the first knot (about 1" [2.5 cm]). Repeat sewing two adjacent gathers together with evenly spaced intervals until you’ve worked the whole fabric. Then remove the gathering stitches. Popular stitching patterns include honeycomb, cable, and trellis. English smocking can reduce the original length of fabric to 1⁄3 of its original size. AMERICAN SMOCKING creates puffed-up shapes on the right side of the fabric by connecting points of a grid in a pattern on the wrong side. It’s easiest to work this technique by marking the grid lines on the back first. What creates the shapes on the right side is a combination of pulling the thread tightly when connecting some dots and leaving the thread loose when connecting other dots. Possible shape patterns include lattice, waves, arrows, grid (creates rectangles), and boxes. How much the fabric reduces in size depends on what type of pattern you choose.

Hand-tied quilting

Trapunto

Cut-surface

QUILTING

Quilting is joining multiple layers of fabric and filler together. Often flannel or batting is sandwiched between the fabric layers. The stitching provides the design element. The designs sewn can be motifs, free-form patterns, grids, channels, or a combination of the above.

· ·

HAND-TIED: Hand-tied quilting is an alternative to sewing rows of stitches. After sandwiching the fabrics, use embroidery thread or yarn to go through all layers and tie a secure knot on the top side of the fabric. Space these knots in a pattern, or randomly. TRAPUNTO: Trapunto is hand-stuffing shapes sewn into two layers of fabric. The shapes can be isolated, or cover the whole fabric in a pattern. Sew the

·

shapes into the fabric first. Then on the backside of the piece, cut a tiny hole into the fabric and stuff. After stuffing the shape, hand-sew the hole closed. Each shape is individually stuffed. CUT-SURFACE: One can use this technique as an alternative to sewing decorative stitches as well as to add more texture to the garment. To do, sew a shape through all three layers (e.g. a circle) and a line down its center. Then snip the top layer of fabric and the batting around the border stitching inside the shape, stopping at the middle seam. The top layer and batting are removed, revealing the backing.

FROM THE EDITOR “You can also get your fabric professionally pleated. There are two primary methods used: Machine Pleating, where fabric is fed into a machine and folded, and Pattern Pleating, where fabric is placed between two pleated cardboard molds and set with steam.” —alana walsh, assistant editor
