Trim (Sewing)
|
Trim or trimming in clothing and home decorating is applied ornament, such as gimp, passementerie, ribbon, ruffles, or, as a verb, to apply such ornament. Elaborately trimmed fashions for April 1861 from Godey's Lady's Book.Before the industrial revolution, all trim was made and applied by hand, thus making heavily trimmed furnishings and garments expensive and high-status. Machine-woven trims and sewing machines put these dense trimmings within the reach of even modest dressmakers and home sewers, and an abundance of trimming is a characteristic of mid-Victorian fashion. As a predictable reaction, high fashion came to emphasize exquisiteness of cut and construction over denseness of trimming, and applied trim became a signifier of mass-produced clothing by the 1930s. The iconic braid and gold button trim of the Chanel suit are a notable survival of trim in high fashion. In home decorating, the 1980s and 1990s saw a fashion for dense, elaborately layered trimmings on upholstered furniture and drapery. Scalamandré is known for elaborate trim for home furnishings, and Wrights is a leading manufacturer of trim for home sewing and crafts. From Wikipedia under the

Ok so I'm 14 years old and I sew alot of clothes and stuff and my neighbor wants me to sew some trim on her daughter's bedspread. She's got all the supplies for it so I don't have to buy those and she's actually talking it apart so I don't have to. So how much should I charge her? How much should I charge per hour for sewing actually because I sew stuff for alot of people> THanks! Asked by !vy - Sun May 3 15:18:42 2009 - Hobbies & Crafts - 4 Answers - Comments A. It can vary. A lot of seamstresses will charge by the hour, which is usually anywhere from $10-$35 (an it can be more, depending), but a lot of them will also charge by the project. Say if it's something you really don't want to do, you are going to quote a much higher price. There is also the friends and family discount and that depends on how you feel about the project too. I don't know how long you have been sewing and your skill level but I would probably charge at least $20. She did buy the supplies and is doing some of the work, but bedspreads are still big and unwieldy. I also live in the midwest, so that might make a difference.

Q. I'm making a pincushion for a gift. I am making a simple square, 2 pieces of fabric sewn together and stuffed, with ribbon as a trim going criss cross on the square "pillow", making it look a little like a present, with a button sewn tightly at the cross on either side to make it look tufted. My question...when & how to sew on the ribbon...I'm thinking hand stitch it on after the pillow part is sewn together and turned right side out but before stuffing? Or maybe after stuffing. Either way that means hand sewing. what stitch to use? whipstitch? The ribbon is about 3/8" wide. Asked by katchoo1 - Sat Aug 30 10:21:13 2008 - Hobbies & Crafts - 3 Answers - Comments A. You can do 2 ways. You could cut the ribbon into 4 pieces and put it on before you sew the squares together. Do a plus sign on the back and the front, then match them up so that it looks like it's tied around the pillow. But what I would do is just finish the pillow and cut the ribbon into 2 pieces, then tie them around and sew it by hand to the very bottom and top of the pillow, leaving it free otherwise. That way, your friend can put her pins into the pillow but poke her needles into the ribbon and they won't go all the way through the pincushion or get lost in it. .
