Số trang: 164 trang

Introduction

I consider adding a lining the ultimate way to clean-finish any garment I

sew. A lined garment does not cling, is more comfortable to wear, is easier

to slide on and off, and looks just as good on the inside as it does on the

outside. Adding a lining to a dress or skirt eliminates the need to wear a

slip. Lining even the simplest style improves the garment's finished effect

and is an important ingredient in sewing clothing that rivals high-quality

ready-to-wear.

This book will give you the in formation you need to complete

beautiful lined garments and to reline garments you already own. Once

you master the basics of lining, you'll want to make the lining an integral

part of the total design and even something to show off. You can do this

by selecting lining fabrics that complement or contrast rather than match

the fashion fabric. Or you can use a splashy or whimsical print to line a

sedate style, or play up a highly textured fashion fabric with a smooth

satin lining.

The first chapter discusses the purpose of lining a garment, the types of

linings that are appropriate for particular garments, and the principal

elements of lining. You will learn to decide which qualities are important

in choosing a lining fabric, whether it is durability, wrinkle resbtance,

weight, or luxury. You will be able to distinguish lining from underlining

and to understand the best application for each. Since there are many

lining alternatives to choose from, you will learn to select the method

that is aesthetically pleasing to you, is compatible with your skill level,

and suits the amount of time you have to sew.

Subsequent chapters are organized by garment type, with one chapter

devoted to lining sheer and lace garments. Since most commercial

patterns do not include a lining pattern, you will learn how to make your

own. Then you will learn to sew and insert linings by following detailed

instructions. Whenever possible, both traditional and quick methods for

constructing and inserting linings are included. Finally, you will learn

how to line the vent area of any garment.
