When I did this tutorial on drawcord elastic, it was when I was making Christmas pj's. So I can go over the instructions again to remind myself how to do the elastic. I have pants and shorts to make the kids and I love this method for casual pants.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Make your next pair of pj’s and shorts with Drawcord Elastic—1-1/4” wide elastic with a drawcord that’s knit in the middle. This elastic retains it’s shape because the drawcord can be tightened AFTER the elastic has been applied.<br />
<a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_NGSlXfvOPoQ/TRuGdoZOFxI/AAAAAAAAAvM/czGsYMrdiHs/s1600-h/2010_1123november0001%5B6%5D.jpg"><img align="right" alt="2010_1123november0001" border="0" height="184" src="https://lh6.ggpht.com/_NGSlXfvOPoQ/TRuGeboVVMI/AAAAAAAAAvQ/HI61P9vt6yE/2010_1123november0001_thumb%5B4%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; display: inline; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px;" title="2010_1123november0001" width="244" /></a> <br />
1. Mark the casing allowance on the pattern the exact width of the elastic. (Drawcord elastic is usually 1-1/4” wide, therefore the measurement above the casing should be 1-1/4” wide.)<br />
2. Cut the elastic 2” SMALLER then the waist measurements<br />
3. Sew elastic in a circle with 1/2” seam allowance<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiD6EeRfY61pNjIU0qOI_3d6IjrTV4Y28t3T3t5-w3ZcymLCH83j4Vl5acB9sJh36-kt6exx-1Ln26d_zLTpSj_Y5smtrI5L31IVyG6X43XzRPl-f5br7IkQbrDpnvOEBDdHlnjiXRDfCe/s1600-h/2010_1123november0002%5B2%5D.jpg"><img alt="2010_1123november0002" border="0" height="184" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCUD0KXyCAvbXAYlC9Ayzg4Y-Ej1gVKlLJOax4FT5wBDl_DP4m8SnXxLgj7Al5Uljy0WqqyWHEHPv0h8JMteY1RcZ_pkQjcLXCdHiE4TV3aFKbMoLi82Tv5YGp7T_997VhFHrZmutyW7EC/?imgmax=800" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; display: inline;" title="2010_1123november0002" width="244" /></a> .<br />
4. finger press seam open. Sew a rectangle through seam allowances and elastic to hold drawcords securely in place. this seam will become the center back of the elastic.<br />
5. Sew garment to forum waistline.<br />
6. For Exposed drawcord ( drawcord on the outside of the garment), sew the bottom of a buttonhole next to the center front seam 2” from the cut edge.<br />

7. Quarter waistline and elastic. Mark with pins.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiH4XjJnzZ2eqDOj6FmYB2Wt79wPD0nFOgwHrK98pVyurwCtOzVugAuUOklHTKCY0nd5SRgP90VM_u40qoZN2dBlVX9z6BFOfagI5hEofo5uKLg_yxOOFbR00tN7wGdtOUAwV66t5GO6IGB/s1600-h/2010_1123november0005%5B2%5D.jpg"><img alt="2010_1123november0005" border="0" height="184" src="https://lh4.ggpht.com/_NGSlXfvOPoQ/TRuGlq2WqUI/AAAAAAAAAvo/WIl2JEHwnCg/2010_1123november0005_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; display: inline;" title="2010_1123november0005" width="244" /></a> <br />
Pin elastic to the cut edge of the waistline matching pins. The seam in the elastic matches the center back of the garment. Serge or zig-zag the elastic to the garment around the cut edge.<br />
<a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_NGSlXfvOPoQ/TRuGnEhxd5I/AAAAAAAAAvs/oFtvTaKloWI/s1600-h/2010_1123november0010%5B2%5D.jpg"><img alt="2010_1123november0010" border="0" height="184" src="https://lh5.ggpht.com/_NGSlXfvOPoQ/TRuGn7BKYbI/AAAAAAAAAvw/vMfDJB96H6I/2010_1123november0010_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; display: inline;" title="2010_1123november0010" width="244" /></a> Fold elastic to the inside, encasing elastic. Stitch 1/4” from the lower edge of the elastic, keeping elastic very taunt. find the buttonhole and pull the cording through. Cut drawcords and knot the end.<br />

Ole McLaughlin, is a member of the Apple Valley smockers and does the
most amazing Brazilian embroidery. I hope she will let me show more of
her work in the future.<br />
Some Christening gowns have stories
connected with them before they are created, with others the stories are
created by the babies who wore the gown or the creator of the gown.
This gown shares a little of both.<br />
Ole, fashioned this elegant
gown from silk brought back from China by her father a member of the
Flying Tigers in WW2. His soon to be bride used some of the silk to
make a blouse for her wedding, the rest of the silk was stored away with
orders for it to be used for Christening gowns when Ole’s boys became
fathers.<br />
Ole choose<a href="https://lh3.ggpht.com/_NGSlXfvOPoQ/TLTUPVqdkRI/AAAAAAAAAo8/nRHRg1-6Rpk/s1600-h/2010_1007applevalleyone0004%5B14%5D.jpg"><img align="left" alt="2010_1007applevalleyone0004" border="0" height="484" src="https://lh5.ggpht.com/_NGSlXfvOPoQ/TLTUQqX6GcI/AAAAAAAAApA/S0Crcsq-a0Y/2010_1007applevalleyone0004_thumb%5B16%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; display: inline; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px;" title="2010_1007applevalleyone0004" width="319" /></a>
a pattern from AS&E issue #60, called Heaven Blessed.Ole said,” The
only changes made, I didn’t put the bows on the front yoke and didn’t
do the lower skirt embroidery. Instead I added the lace insertion. The
fabric wasn’t long enough and I felt the silk was busy enough without
adding embroidery.”<br />
I hope I have been able to capture the beauty of this gown.<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Your sewing machine has</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">a shank.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Your pressure foot attaches to</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">that shank.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">The shanks are either high or low. I</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">would guess most of them are low.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">so what is it?</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUbROCUqhYq-YxkKuh7Kop7AuakQAJ8_a6HsmDzs3XAHlfibNkFfbPj9tcsyTysl8u6rTWnhJiid7iT7z4rIVXE9sn8zmAHlvJQ4-ZXSZYBtOA_pFB-fe2peuHSWgBBs_yofjL9rqeewNi/s1600/20190827_110900.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="1600" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUbROCUqhYq-YxkKuh7Kop7AuakQAJ8_a6HsmDzs3XAHlfibNkFfbPj9tcsyTysl8u6rTWnhJiid7iT7z4rIVXE9sn8zmAHlvJQ4-ZXSZYBtOA_pFB-fe2peuHSWgBBs_yofjL9rqeewNi/s400/20190827_110900.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">See that white piece of plastic?</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">That is the shank, the piece holding my</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">pressure foot.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">You might also notice I have a snap</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">on pressure foot,vs a screw on.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"> My machine is the Viking sapphire</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">760 quilt machine. Mine is considered a low shank.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Another thing that can be confusing </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">is-this piece is also called an ankle.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">When purchasing new feet</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">the choices are, a choice between</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">high shank and low shank.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"> I hope this helps clear up</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">any confusion, when you see the term</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">high shank or low shank. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Time for a change</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Our smocking group has been named.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Apple Valley Smockers</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">since it was formed. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I saw it as a time to change. Not, just the name but what we do as people that love to sew and create.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Apple Valley, is used for everything--the word smockers, said we smocked things. What every that is supposed to be.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">So, along with another member that shared my thought process. We changed the name!!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I had some banners made and although I am not</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">excited about this display at our local quilt show.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I am excited about the possibilities. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Like I said Change is good. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Slow in the sewing room</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Still sewing is happening and what I love to do.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Update on the quilt tops, they are off</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">to the long arm lady Patti and she will</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">work her magic and they will be quilts.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I let Zoe have a say in her quilt. She met with Patti</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">and discussed the quilting plan.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This was all new to Zoe and I am so glad</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I was able to share this with her. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">What do I choose?</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Choosing fabric for a project was never an issue for me.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I was and basically still am a garment sewer. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I know what fabric will work for what garment.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I know my basic children's fabric, for play and everyday wear. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I know the specialty fabrics.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I also know where to order the best and just where it is located in the fabric stores.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Now!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">That has all changed!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I started quilting. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Oh you say, that's easy just pick</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">quilting cotton. Not so fast.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Even if I stick with 'quilting cotton' we have color</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">to deal with. we have prints, big prints, little prints.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">What will a print look like when it is cut into</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">a two inch square? what is the quilt to be used for?</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Right now, I am pretty much sticking to kits.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I know, cowered, that I am.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I also am staying pretty close to</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.missouriquiltco.com/"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">https://www.missouriquiltco.com/</span></span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Jenny, even has a you tube Chanel. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I commented myself! </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Not like it sounds--I commented myself</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">to making two quilts and a table runner</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">as gifts for this Christmas. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">You quilt people, see no problem with that!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">for me, it is huge. </span></span></div>
