Certain fabrics require special care during sewing due to their composition. Chiffon is slippery and needs to be pinned carefully and sewn with a fine needle over tissue paper. Crepe stretches easily so should be fitted loosely and hung overnight before hemming. Stretch fabrics like jersey should be stayed-stitched, seams reinforced, and hung overnight before hemming to prevent stretching out of shape. Directional fabrics like plaids and stripes must be laid out carefully to match patterns pieces. Beaded and sequined fabrics are best for simple designs to avoid crushing decorations, and metallic fabrics need pressing with care to avoid melting.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
2. Certain fabrics because of
their design or fabrication
require special care and
attention during layout
and construction. Some
fabrics fall into this
category where special
handling required is
usually not difficult. Often
you need only to add one
more step, such as a seam
finish, or exercise a little
more.
3. CHIFFON • Chiffon tends to be slippery
and will slide when being
uncut, unless a non slippery
surface is used. An old sheet or
tablecloth on the cutting
surface should suffice. Use fine
dressmaker pins and cut with
very sharp shears. Use a fine
machine-stitch and a fine
machine needle. The feed dog
may catch the fabric surface, so
it’s best to stitch over tissue
paper, which may be torn away
after stitching.
4. CHIFFON
• Preferred seam finishes for
sheer fabrics are the French
seam and hand rolled edges.
• As wider seams show through,
when facings are needed, it is
best to make the entire
garment section double, rather
than have the edges show
through to the right side of the
garment.
5. CREPE • The spongy quality of crepe,
which makes it drape so
beautifully, also tends to make
it stretch when being machine-
stitched.
• To prevent stretching, stitch
over tissue paper. Fit crepe
garments fairly snugly as they
usually stretch after wearing.
• Don’t fit too tightly or your
garment will pull and stretch in
all the wrong places.
6. CREPE
• Allow crepe garments to
hang at least overnight
before marking the hem,
since the fabric tends to
stretch when hanging.
• Press it lightly, always using
a press cloth to prevent
shine.
7. FELT
• Felt does not present many difficulties
in construction. It may be cut in any
direction since it has no grain. It does
not ravel, needs no edge finish and
usually felt garments have no hems.
Choose very simple patterns for felt,
without a great many construction
details. It is hard to ease seams in felt.
Use lining fabric or iron-on tape for
facings to avoid bulky seams. Use a
fairly long machine-stitch and medium
tension. Press felt with a warm, dry
iron; steam- pressing tends to shrink it.
8. FUR FABRIC • When working with the fabulous
fakes, follow the layouts and
directions for cutting napped
fabrics. Baste seams together by
hand before stitching , since the
pieces tend to slip when machine-
stitched. Use a light tension on
machine, and a long stitch (8-10).
Use a needle to smooth pile out of
the seams on the right side of the
fabric. Use lining fabric for facings,
and hooks and eyes, snaps or loops
for closings. Buttonholes should be
avoided, since they are very difficult
to manipulate in heavily napped
fabric.
9. Stretch fabrics These include single
knits, jerseys, t-shirt
knits and swim wear
such as Lycra. For
jersey or any knit
fabric that comes in a
tubular form, you may
have to cut the tube
open following a
lengthwise rib if the
pattern layout shows
the pieces cut singly.
10. Stretch fabrics
• Open flat, square off ends,
and steam-press to remove
fold or creases.
• Pin pattern securely to
wrong side of the fabric to
keep edges from rolling.
Stay-stitch each piece
immediately after cutting to
prevent its stretching out of
shape. For permanent
stitching, use a long
machine- stitch (10-12 to the
inch) with loose tension.
Stretch the material slightly
without pulling.
11. • For extra
reinforcement,
double-stitch or
tape seams at
points of stress
such as waistline,
underarm, elbows
of long sleeves.
• Hang garment for
atleast twenty
four hours before
making hemline.
• Line jersey
garments to
prevent them
stretching out of
shape.
12. NET • Nets presents very little
trouble. Seams on net
garments may be trimmed
without raveling.
• The number of stitches to
use per inch on the machine
depends on the size of the
mesh, so test a scrap before
doing any permanent
stitching.
• Transparent horsehair
provides nice finish for the
hem, but is not essential.
13. NYLON
• The biggest problem in
working with nylon
and some of the other
pure synthetics is seam
puckering.
• Stitching tends to draw
seam lines and ripple
the fabric on either
side.
• Bias or off-grain
seams pucker less than
straight lengthwise
ones, so it’s best to
select a style with
flared gores cut with
bias seams.
14. • When stitching nylon,
always use a fine
machine needle, and
either nylon or
mercerized thread.
• Use a fairly small
stitch (12-15 to the
inch) and loosen both
bottom and top
tensions as much as
you can to produce
one good stitch. Avoid
stitching over pins.
Nylon
16. Select simple styles for
plaids and stripes.
Complicated fashions
can distort the fabric
design. Avoid princess
seam line, diagonal bust
line darts, long
horizontal darts and
patterns designated “
not suitable for plaids
and stripes.”
17. It is easier to work with
even plaids and
balanced stripes than
uneven plaids and
unbalanced stripes. Even
plaids have the same
arrangement of colors
and stripes in both
lengthwise and
crosswise direction. The
area of repeat is
perfectly square.
18. In uneven plaids the color
and stripes form a different
arrangement in the
lengthwise and crosswise
direction or both. Balanced
stripes repeat in the same
order in both directions;
unbalanced stripes do not.
To match at the seams , all
uneven plaids and some
unbalanced stripes must be
cut from a single layer of
fabric, using each pattern
piece twice.
19. How to determine if
plaid is even or
uneven?
Even plaid has
matching stripes and
colors when fabric is
folded diagonally
through center of
any repeat.
23. DIRECTIONAL FABRICS
Directional fabric are so called
because they must be laid in one
direction for cutting ; they are
described as “with nap” on pattern
envelope and guide sheet. Included
in this category are truly napped
fabrics ; designs that do not reverse
(one way design) ;and surfaces that
reflect light in varying ways (shaded).
Example of directional fabrics are
napped-corduroy, velveteen , flannel
;shiny- taffeta , satin ; twill weave
fabrics- denim, gabardine and one
way prints etc.
24. Laying out directional fabrics
•Choose the direction
your fabric will run,
then lay out the
pattern pieces
according to the “with
nap” layout on the
pattern direction
sheet.
•To ensure proper
placement, mark each
pattern piece with an
arrow pointing to the
top of the piece.
25. Beaded / Sequin Fabrics
These beautifully
decorated fabrics
are best used on
very simple
garments with
minimum
seaming and few
pieces. Typical
uses are evening
dresses or tops.
26. Sewing Beaded or Sequin
fabrics
•Cut out in single layers, turning
pattern pieces over to get right
and left sides if necessary. Use
the ‘with nap’ layout.
•Press on a soft surface such as
a folded towel to prevent
crushing the beads and always
press on the reverse with a
press cloth. Avoid steam or
moisture, which may damage
the beads and discolor the
sequin.
27. •Cut facings from
lining fabric rather
than a layer of the
beaded fabric. Use
sew-in interfacings
rather fusible.
•Use a zipper foot to
sew seams if the
beads prevent
straight stitching.
28. Metallic fabrics
Metal thread woven into other fibers
adds a touch of glitter but presents a
few problems. Metallic fabrics must be
pressed with moderately hot iron, or
they may melt under high heat. Pin
marks can mar (spoil) the surface when
the fabric has a high percentage of
metal, so its best to place all pins in the
seam allowances. Most metallic fabrics
tend to ravel badly so seams should be
overcast and bound buttonhole should
be avoided.
