Fabric Terms
Woven fabric refers to fabric which has been constructed
by interlacing yarns at right angles
Warp refers to the vertical yarns that run the length of
the fabric
Weft refers to the horizontal filling yarns
Folding Fabric
Generally, fabric is folded lengthwise, that is the fabric is folded in half with the
selvedges together.
Single thickness layouts are used when there is only one pattern piece
required.
A centrefold layout is used when there are a number of narrow pattern pieces
to be cut on the fold. To lay your fabric out you will need to fold each selvedge
into the centre of your fabric. Measure to make sure you have folded both sides
equally.
Pin horizontally to, and inside the cutting line and diagonally at the corners
of the pattern about 10cm apart.
Use long handle dressmaking shears.
Cut with steady, long even cuts.
Place on hand on the pattern and fabric while cutting.
Do not move the fabric while cutting.
Use the point of the scissors to cut notches outwards.
Check that you have cut the correct number of pieces.
Save the fabric scraps until you have completed the project. You may find
that you need them for samples or tests or if a problem arises.
Construction Techniques
Baste - tack with long, loose stitches in preparation for sewing (temporary
stitches)
Machine stitch - straight stitch - width 0, length 2.5
Top stich - stitching parallel to the edge of a garment to give it a tailored
edge
Trim corners - trimming the corners of adjoining pieces to reduce bulk in
the garment
Press - ironing the material to sit the right way
Interface - an internal material to provide strength
Darts - parts in a garment to be taken in for better fit
Seam allowance - the 1-2cm extra on a template to allow for seam when
sewing pieces together
