Fabrics Available For Home Sewing

By ANN HANCOOK Area Extension Agent Fake furs, vinyl, leather, and suede are coming on strong with the fashion industry this fall. These fabrics and leathers are available for the home sewer, but often are not attempted because of difficulty. When actually working with special fabrics is not as difficult as it might seem. When working with any special fabric keep these suggestions in mind. Choose a basic design. Avoid patterns with details such as pocket flaps, bound buttonholes and set in sleeves. Always use the “with nap” layout. If the fabric has prominent markings, match these markings as you would a plaid. Make personal alterations on the pattern before you cut and sew. Alterations made directly on the fabric may leave permanent marks. In working with vinyls, leather or suede, place all pins in the seam allowance; use cellophane tape or masking tape to mark darts, etc. Don’t pin or baste when joining seams. Hold section together with paper clips. To mark stitching line on clear vinyl, use a tracing wheel with teeth and no carbon paper. The stitching line will cover the pin puncture. Tissue paper can be used to keep vinyl from sticking to the feed dog. Leather skins are two feet by
