PATTERN FOR FAGOTED YOKES Fil ed S ept. 9, 1950 2 Sheets-Sheet 2 IN V EN TOR.

Patented Aug. 10, 1954 UNITED STATES ATENT OFFICE 9 Claims. 1

The present invention relates to patterns and guides for making the yoke-portion of a blouse or dress.

The object of the present invention is to provide a guide or pattern for making fagoted stitching.

Referring now to the drawings, wherein like reference characters indicate like parts:

Figure 1 represents a perspective view of a fagoted yoke of the present invention as applied to a womans blouse.

Figure 2 represents a fragmentary plan view of a portion of the blouse of Figure 1.

Figure 3 represents a plan view of the yokemaking pattern of the present invention with two rows of bias tape basted thereto and with'a partial row of fagoted stitches applied between said bias tapes.

Figure 4 represents a cross-sectional view taken generally along line 4-4 of Figure 3.

Figure 5 represents a fragmentary cross-sectional view, on an enlarged scale of a single row of bias tape basted to the pattern of Figure 3.

Figure 6 represents a fragmentary plan view of the yoke-making pattern and bias tape basted thereto showing the first step in the formation of the fagoted stitch of the present invention.

Figure '7 represents a plan view similar to the plan view of Figure 6 showing the second step in the formation of the fagoted stitch of the present invention.

Figure 8 represents a plan view similar to the plan view of Figures 6 and '7 showing the next step in the formation of the fagoted stitch of the present invention.

Figure 9 represents a plan view, similar to that of Figures 6, 7 and 8, showing two completed stitches and the start of a third fagoted stitch of the present invention.

Figure 10 represents an enlarged fragmentary plan view of two rows of bias tape with a row of fagoted stitching of the present invention intervening said rows of bias tape.

Referring particularly to Figure 3, there is illustrated a pattern It, which may be formed of paper and which is generally oval shaped with an opening it at the center thereof and with a Wedgeshaped portion removed from one end thereof to provide an incomplete elipse. The pattern I5 has a plurality of generally concentric lines ll printed thereon to provide spaced guides 8 along which strips of bias tape i9 may be temporarily secured (as by the basting stitches 29) The pattern !5 is shaped so that when the edges 2| and 22 thereof are placed in abutting relationship the pattern |5 will form a generally frustoconical shield or cover or pattern which conforms generally to the outline or shape of the neckportion or yoke-portion of a womans blouse or dress or the like.

Therefore, a yoke or shoulder-portion for a garment made according to the pattern I5, when completed and affixed to a blouse or dress, will fit neatly and properly upon the shoulders of the wearer of the garment. It is to be understood that the pattern l5 may be prepared in a variety of sizes and shapes so that blouses or dresses embodying the yoke of the present invention may be made in a variety oi sizes according to the demands of. the person ultimately wearing the garment. It is also to be understood that the pattern may be made of fabric or any other suitable material.

Between the concentric rows of elliptical guides it there are imprinted upon the pattern I5 generally diagonal spaced guide-lines 23 for a purpose to be hereinafter explained.

The fagoted stitch of the present invention shown in detail in Figures 2 and 6 to 10, inclusive,,is formed as follows:

With the rows of bias tape 19 temporarily secured to the pattern I5 by the basting-stitches 20, a strand or yarn at from which the fagoted stitches are to be formed is knotted at one end (as at 25) and passed through one of the bias tapes 53-5; but not through the pattern 15 therebeneath. Thereafter, the yarn 24 is extended diagonally across the pattern 15 to the next adjacent row of bias tape Iii-b, along the diagonal line 23-a which extends from the tape IQ-a to the tape lt-b.

Then the yarn 2 3 is passed through the tape iii-b (closely adjacent the edge 25) but not through the pattern, as is shown particularly in Figure 6.

Thereafter the yarn 2:3 is passed completely around the strand 2?! which extends between the tapes ill-a and I949. The free end of the yarn may pass from the right or forward side of the strand 2] to the left or rearward side thereof (as illustrated in Figure 7). The forward side of the strand 2i is that'side which generally represents the direction of advance of the strand 2? parallel to the tapes la-a and 59-h, and is that side of the strand which makes an obtuse angle with the adjacent edge of the fabric.

After the free end of the yarn 24 has been passed completely around the strand 2?, it is extended diagonally toward the tape l9-a (along the guide-line 23) where it is secured to the tape 3 ie-a (along the edge 29 thereof). This step is shown particularly in Figure 8.

A second fagoted stitch (according to the present invention) is made when the free end of the yarn 24 is passed completely around the strand 39, which now extends from the tape til-b to the tape l9-a and is thereafter extended toward the tape iii-b along the guide-line 3|. Thereafter succeeding stitches are made in the manner shown in Figures 6 to 8, inclusive, using the guide-lines 23 to indicate where the yarn 24 should be connected to the tapes l9.

Succeeding stitches are completed, as above described, to form one row of fagoted stitching, shown partially completed in Figure 3, and shown in an enlarged fragmentary view in Figure 10, until the row of stitches is complete between the edges 2i and 22 of the pattern l5. Thereafter the next adjacent (as well as the succeeding rows) of fagoted stitches may be made according to the method hereinabove described.

When completed, alternate rows of bias tape and fagoted stitching will be secured to the pattern iii to form the yoke shown in Figures 1 and 2.

When all the rows of fagoted stitches are complete and a finishing strip of bias tape (not shown) interconnects the ends of the tapes is along each of the edges 2i and 22 of the pattern It, the basting stitches 25% may be removed and the completed yoke 32 will be separated from the pattern l5. Thus, the pattern i may be used again to make additional yckes and will not be destroyed after one yoke is completed.

The outermost row ill-a of the bias ta-pe may then be secured to the upper portion 33 of the blouse and buttons, snaps or other fasteners may be secured to the finishing strips of bias tape (not shown) along the edges 2! and 22.

The fagoted stitching is particularly attractive and desirable because it does not form straight diagonal strands of yarn between the rows of bias tape but, when completed according to the method hereinabove described, produces interconnecting strands of yarn which have generally radially-extending portions 35 with the shorter interconnecting diagonal portions 38 therebetween. This is shown particularly in Figures 2 and 10.

The yoke made of fagoted stitches according to the present invention is desirable because the pattern l5, which is used as a guide during the formation of the stitches and the formation of the yoke, may be used repeatedly and will not be destroyed after one yoke is completed.

It is to be understood that fagoted sttiches may be embodied in garments or used in other items (such as table cloths, doilies, etc.) and is not intended to be limited solely to use in the formation of yokes or collars for blouses or dresses or the like. Thus, it may be used as decorative stitching intervening any two parallel, spaced rows of fabric.

Ihe yoke is particularly desirable because it fits smoothly and neatly about the shoulders, when made according to the pattern of the present invention. Moreover, it can be applied either as a decorative component of blouses for girls or women, or may be used (when made according to a smaller pattern) as the entire shoulder or bodice-portion of a dress for small girls or children.

The present invention may be embodied in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential attributes thereof, and it is therefore desired that the present embodiment 4 be considered in all respects as illustrative and not restrictive, reference being had to the appended claims rather than to the foregoing description to indicate the scope of the invention.
