There is an order process of sewing a garment. If you have followed
many directions and sewn many tops or pants before than you can just about
figure it out for yourself. If you are designing a pattern on your
own and need a little help, here is the general order for sewing
garments.
Skirts
- side, front, and back seams, zipper or closing method, waistband, hem (
minimum of 2 fittings)
Pants - pockets,
side, front, and back seams, zipper or closing method, waistband, hem
(minimum of 2 fittings)
Blouse or Jacket -
attach interfacing, stitch the shaping (darts, gathers, etc.), zippers or
button holes, shoulder seams, side seams, neck and front edge, armhole,
sleeves, hem (minimum of 3 fittings)
One piece Dress -
attach interfacing, stitch the shaping (darts, gathers, etc) shoulders,
side seams, finish top part of dress expect for hem, bottom part of dress,
side, back, and front seams, join the skirt bottom to the bodice top of
dress at the waistline, attach zipper or buttons holes, hem ( minimum of 3
fittings)
Note:
The BEST method for
hemming is to have someone else tack or pin up
the hem while you wear the garment. (or you hem it while the person whom
you made the garment for is wearing it)
For BEST
results of a fitted garment I recommend at least 2 fittings and up to 5.
