Hello, everyone.
Today's lesson we're going to go over sewing in CLO.
There are a number of files that we are going to work with.
We're going to start with the file segment sewing from the lessons that were shared.
You could also follow along with your own project if you would like.
I'm going to again hide my library so I have more real estate and I'm just going to look at my patterns
here so that we can see what's going on.
Everything has been arranged.
Okay?
The sewing tools are here in the three in the 2D window and here in the 3D window.
We're going to start by using segment sewing.
Segment sewing does exactly what it states.
It sews two full segments together.
I'm going to zoom in here on these two patterns with segment sewing selected.
I'm going to hover over a segment, in this case, the center front of my t shirt.
When I hover over this one.
Note that my.
My cursor displays the length 19.969, which is 20in.
When I hover over the other one, it gives me the same measurement.
These two segments are equal length, so these will sew together nicely.
I'm going to simply start by making note of this mark here.
This is your start, Mark.
This lets you know at what end is the start of your sewing.
It does not matter which end that you position this at to begin.
Only that if you click on one side here to start the sewing, you click on the same side to finish the
sewing.
Two clicks.
As you can see, the sewing seam pair group, as this is called, or as we refer to it as the sewing
relationship has now turned a different color.
Every sewing relationship seam line pair group will be designated as a different color.
Again, we simply click twice.
I'm going to click once here.
And once here and that will sew the side seam together.
If I rotate in my 3D window, I can see that my other side has been sewn together.
This is because these patterns are linked.
The sides are symmetrical, so I only have to sew one side.
If I continue here, I'm going to show this here in my 3D window.
I can also so in my 3D window, again, if I click segment sewing and I click here on my pattern.
If I take note of this here in my 2D window, this start mark here is up towards my collar, which would
be referred to in sewing as the high point shoulder.
I'm going to click here and I'm going to click on the back shoulder.
Now I have purposely mis sewn this.
As you can see, the start mark on the front of my garment is towards the top at the high point shoulder.
But here I mistakenly put it down towards the sleeve and in my 3D window we can see twisted.
Threads.
This is bad.
If we turned on gravity, this would bunch up.
We can immediately fix this by simply using the key command for reverse sewing, which is control or
command B.
Okay.
If you don't remember that, all you need to do is select your edit sewing tool, which is the tool
right above of the segment sewing tool that has the cursor next to it.
Simply select the one half of the seam line pair group right click and say reverse sewing.
That will fix your sewing.
Your threads will be straight and you will also see on the other side of your.
Pattern.
The pieces have also been sewn together.
This very basic t shirt can actually be completely sewn together by segment sewing.
My next thing that I'm going to sew is the underside of the sleeve again, which can be sewn in either
the 2D or the 3D window.
If you would like to turn off the line lengths, you can do that by either going to your toggle menu
or using the shift Z shortcut.
I can also sew these sleeve caps into place as well.
Again, remember the start, Mark, is what is important.
It doesn't matter at what segment point you start, only that it corresponds to the other segment start.
I am showing you my window in the three D window as I go.
This is not something you have to do.
This is just something that to help you visualize what's going on.
I'm going to show my center back together here.
And finally, what I'm going to do is I'm going to sew my collar into place.
I'm going to hover here.
This is the center front.
This is the center front here on the the front of the bodice.
Center, Front, center, front.
Both sides get sewn into place.
If I come back here?
This is the center back.
This part of the collar will be the at the center back and all of my pieces are sewn to each other.
There's two small final things that we need to do, but I'm going to turn on simulate so that we can
see how this comes together.
And so there we have our basic t shirt, The two little things that need to be sewn to finish this are
the center front of the back.
And the center front of the front.
There are other finishing options that we could use there, but for now, we just simply sewed them
together.
And this is the final piece that you should end up with.
Please feel free to use the practice file here that says Segment Sewing practice to help you practice
not only arranging but segment sewing on your own.
