Chapter 29 - Yokes
Yokes are often emphasized with stitching or by making the yoke of a different fabric. Yoke can be tucked, shirred, smocked, or decorated in a great many ways.
|
Stitched-in yokes: Attach yoke to garment with plain seams.
Overlaid yokes: Turn yoke edges back and attach over garment edge in lapped effect. Stitch close to edge, or back ¼ inch, as desired. Where this type of yoke is done with transparent materials, it is often a good idea to stitch over paper and then tear the paper away.
For lace yoke, finish edge of garment to which lace is to be applied and sew on lace by hand.
Or, stitch lace and garment together, and overcast a lace edging to garment over seam. This is done when lace has no finished edge.
Detachable yokes: Make with button closing. Skirt yokes: Attached as blouse yokes above, with plain or lapped seams.
