SEWING Glossary
Take a moment to familiarize yourself with some sewing
terms that might be used in this tutorial.
Armscye-
The armscye is the opening in the bodice to which the
sleeve is attached to.
Casing-
A casing is a fabric tunnel through which elastic or a
drawstring can be threaded to pull in or draw up the
fabric.
Face-
The “front” of a piece of fabric having a distinct front and
back; same as right side.
Facing-
A facing is fabric used to finish the raw edges of a garment
such as at neckline and armhole. Shaped facings are cut to
match the edge they will face, and bias facings are strips of
fabric cut on the bias or cross-grain and shaped to fit edge.
Gather-
Gathering is a technique for shortening the length of a
strip of fabric so that the longer piece can be attached to a
shorter piece. It is commonly used in clothing to manage
fullness, as when a full sleeve is attached to the armscye
or cuff of a shirt, or when a skirt is attached to a bodice.
In simple gathering, parallel rows of running stitches are
sewn along one edge of the fabric to be gathered. The
stitching threads are then pulled or “drawn up” so that the
fabric forms small folds along the threads.
Hem-
1. To hem a piece of cloth (in sewing), a garment
worker folds up a cut edge, folds it up again, and then
sews it down. The process of hemming thus completely
encloses the cut edge in cloth, so that it cannot unravel.
2. A hem is also the edge of cloth hemmed in this
manner.
Lining-
1. Lining is an inner layer of fabric, fur, or other
material that provides a neat finish; conceals seam
allowances, interfacing, and construction details; and
allows a garment to slip on and off easily.
2. The process of inserting a lining layer.

Overlay-
The top layer of fabric when a different fabric is
underneath. Lace will often be an overlay and have a
lining under to prevent being see through.
Right Side-
The “front” of a piece of fabric having a distinct front and
back; same as face. Sometimes called the “public” side or
“main” fabric.
Seam-
A seam, in sewing, is the line where two pieces of fabric
are held together by thread.
Seam Allowance-
A seam allowance is the area between the edge of fabric
and the stitching line on two (or more) pieces of material
being stitched together. Seam allowances can range
from 1/4 inch wide (6.35 mm) to as much as several
inches. Commercial patterns for home sewers have seam
allowances ranging from 1/4 inch to 5/8 inch.
Serging-
Serging is the binding-off of an edge of cloth.
Stitch-
A stitch is a single turn or loop of the thread or yarn
in sewing, knitting, and embroidery. Sewing machine
stitches are classified by their structure: chain stitch, made
with one thread; lockstitch, made with two threads; and
overlock, made with one to four threads.
Trim-
Trim or trimming in clothing and home decorating is
applied ornamentation such as gimp, passementerie,
ribbon, ruffles, or, as a verb, to apply such ornament.
Wrong Side-
The “back” of a piece of fabric having a distinct front and
back.

TIPS & Suggestions
CUTTING TIPS
You may need to fold small
sections at a time or cut pieces
out separately to ensure that
all pattern pieces are cut “on
grain.” If the lengthwise fold or
crease remains after prewashing
and steaming, it is likely to be
permanent. Fold knit in such a
way as to avoid the crease when
cutting. Do not let knit fabric hang
over the edge of the cutting table.
The weight of the fabric will cause
it to be distorted. Roll extra fabric
up along one end to prevent fabric
overhang.
Lay out all pattern pieces going
the same direction by following
the “grainline” layout. Use fabric
weights or use ballpoint or sharp,
fine pins along seam allowances to
secure pattern pieces for cutting.
Be careful not to stretch fabric
while cutting. A rotary cutter and
mat make cutting out knits easy
Copyright @ 2019 Ellie and Mac
and eliminates movement and
distortion.
Pressing Tips
Knits do not require a lot of
pressing during construction,
another reason that makes them
quick to sew. When pressing is
needed, test on fabric scraps for
the correct amount of steam, heat,
and pressure. Remember to press
and not iron the fabric. To prevent
the fabric from being flattened too
much, place the fabric on a terry
towel and use a press cloth.

Fit TEST
Always sew a fit test of your
pattern before cutting into
that fabric that you have been
dreaming about using ever
since you laid eyes on it. Using
a muslin, a cheap fabric of the
same requirement the pattern
recommends, allows you to see
how the pattern fits you and
point out any alterations you
might need to fit your body just
right. We all know that our
fabulous bodies come in many
different shapes. For this reason
a fit test is highly recommended
for best results.

Pin or clip both raw edges
of Scrunchie together, as
shown, with RIGHT SIDES
TOGETHER.

This step is easiest when

done on a regular sewing
machine and results in less
bulk. Sew the two edges
closed with a straight stitch,
as shown.

It is recommended to sew
a couple times for more
security.

Pull Scrunchie completely
Right Side Out, so you
can see the hole.

Trim away stray threads.

Using a bodkin, safety

pin, or other tool, insert
elastic into one end of the
hole.

Thread elastic through

entire Scrunchie and out
the other side of the hole.

Making sure elastic is

not twisted, overlap the
ends 1/2” and pin or clip
together.

Sew, using a zigzag stitch

to secure. Sew multiple
times for added security.

elastic to the inside of
Scrunchie.

Fold the seam allowance of

the gap 1/4” to the inside
of the Scrunchie and finger

Pin or clip closed.

Using a straight stitch, sew

1/8” from the raw edge to
close the gap. Make sure to
backstitch at the beginning
and end of your stitches.
