HOW TO CONTROL FULLNESS IN GARMENTS
DARTS
Single Pointed Darts- 1. Mark the dart
2.Fold the dart
3.Start sewing and backstitch
4. Sew to edge and do not backstitch
5. Cut thread and hand tie a knot
6.Press with a Tailor's ham
Double Pointed Darts-
1.Mark the dart
2.Fold the dart
3. Start in the middle of the dart and backstitch one way
4. Sew to edge and do not backstitch
5. Cut thread and hand tie a knot
6. Repeat for other half of dart
7. Press with Tailor's ham
CASING
SELF CASING
1. Turn fabric, right sides together, into a cylinder and sew 5/8 seam
2. Press seam open
3. Fold 1/4 in
4. Press
5. Fold over 1 1/4 in more
6. Press
7. Sew around the fabric you folded at the top
8. Sew around the bottom of the part you folded and leave a hole where the seam is for elastic
APPLIED CASING
1. Take smaller fabric and fold under 1/4 in on both sides
2.Press the 1/4 in
3. Sew smaller fabric to larger fabric on one side
4. Sew on the other side and leave a whole in the middle
GATHERS
Gathering
-Soft folds of fabric formed by pulling up basting stitches to make the fabric fit into a smaller space
-Stitch length is longer and you will need to loosen upper tension when you create the small tucks in the same line
-Usually fabric is gathered into a 1/2 or 1/3 of it's original width
EASING
Easing
-Allows fabric to be shaped over a curved area of the body.
-Used when one edge of the fabric is only slightly larger than the other
-Should not create any visible folds or gathers
-Used most often at shoulder seams, sleeves, yokes, and waistbands.
-Most common eased seam is a set-in sleeve
