Download or read book Illustrated Sewing Primer With Songs and Music written by Louise J. Kirkwood and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-06 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Illustrated Sewing Primer, With Songs and Music: For Schools and Families Numerous inquiries regarding the plan of con ducting large classes in sewing in Industrial Schools, have induced the publication of the Sewing Primer, the lessons of which have been, from time to time, worked out for the benefit of such classes. Portions of these lessons have existed in various forms for several years, first as leaflets, and later in the Little Housekeeper, published by Randolph, and have proved their practical value, by a widely extended circulation. The Primer is but an enlargement of these publica tions and although not claiming to be exhaustive, it includes what seems to be the most needful instruction in plain sewing. The Songs, set to popular airs, are designed to awaken enthusiasm in what may sometimes seem to the child a prosaic subject; at the same time they embody rules and suggestions which will be of use in later life.

Down the ages, people have learned how to design clothes through trial and error, with new fashion innovations being used as accessories in order to hold the clothes to the body. These included belts and brooches, which held tartans, cloaks, skirts, and other body coverings in place. As time went by, people began to look for more and more ways in which clothes could be worn fitting and protecting the form while looking elegant at the same time. This book is going to tell you all about how you can begin tailoring, by making up your own patterns. You can get plenty of patterns ready-made, which can be cut out or are precut and all you have to do is pin them onto the cloth, and cut it out. According to your requirements, these patterns can be modified by adding or subtracting, and once you know the basics of drafting, you are going to understand exactly what needs to be done, when you see a pattern, and recognize the different parts of it. You are going to learn all about pattern drafting, and dressmaking in further volumes, of the series, and this is going to be an extensive project, somewhat like an encyclopedia about all the information of which you could think about dressmaking, simple stitch craft, sewing, pattern designing, and everything else, which has to do with tailoring. But first, before you think about tailoring, you need to have some basic supplies with you. These are essential in order to give your clothes a professional look, or at least to show that you are serious about tailoring! You can add to these supplies, as time goes by, and you will get more skilled and enthusiastic about how you intend to draft clothes before you cut them out on cloth. You may want to do some practice cutting sessions on useless pieces of cloth, so that even if you manage to pin the wrong portions together and stitch them together without even finding out what happened during the pinning and sewing process, you can just rip the seams open with the seam ripper, and begin fresh! As I did not want to waste lots of cloth, because I have a bit of problem visualizing the end product, – I should have started young – I did my cutting out on sheets of newspaper.
