How often do we run in search of new things in shops and markets, trying to find a blouse that fits perfectly in the figure and emphasizes all its advantages! Especially if this very figure does not quite fit the generally accepted standard. How many times do we fail and buy not quite what we were looking for?
And it’s not even that it’s hard to find the right thing, but that it’s hard to pick up something unique and individual, not like everyone else. How to solve this problem? The answer is quite simple - to sew a thing to order or independently. And the second option is not so complicated as it might seem at first glance. Do-it-yourself blouse - it's easy!
The benefits of tailoring
Perhaps the main advantage of tailoring is its exclusivity, and after that comes time savings, the choice of fabric and style. I would like to note that it is not at all necessary to choose models of clothes that fashion dictates to us. You can create an absolutely unique thing with your own hands, which will favorably emphasize all the advantages of your figure and your personality.
Fabric selection
For beginners in sewing, it is better to give preference to knitted materials and simple styles, since it is difficult to sew from dress fabric without any specific practice. However, you can choose an elastic dress fabric, which will facilitate the fitting of the product for a proper fit.
Blouse modeling
Any blouse with your own hands can be sewn quickly and easily. It all starts with the correct modeling, because if the pattern is not drawn up correctly, then the product will fail. If you have never dealt with sewing and designing, then for modeling it is better to take the main pattern for a blouse and modify it a bit according to your style: change the shape of the cutout, shorten or flare the sleeves, change the length and make a cut yoke. To make the task very simple, a sewing magazine with a suitable model is an ideal solution. In this case, you can immediately appreciate how the finished blouse looks. With your own hands it will not be difficult to transfer the finished pattern to the fabric and sew it according to the attached instructions. You should not immediately take on a difficult thing, for a start it is better to choose a simple model. This will not only allow you to finish it to the end, but will also give you confidence in your own abilities and a desire to develop further in this direction.
The basic process of sewing a blouse
The process of sewing such a thing as a blouse with your own hands begins with sewing tucks and shoulder seams. Next comes the turn of processing the sides, neck, collar and sleeves. After - a queue of various pockets, ruffles and stripes. The final stage is the grinding of the side seams and the processing of the armhole and bottom. It is worth noting that the processing of pockets and hem like nothing else betrays the skill of a seamstress, and if some mistakes can be made on the inner seams, then everything should be perfect here.
Instead of a conclusion
Almost all women of the last century had a sewing machine and were able to sew: someone is better, someone is worse, but almost everything was sewn. Now, a huge selection of the most diverse clothes has allowed fashionistas to distance themselves from this occupation. But still, how nice it is to make a blouse or a fashionable dress with your own hands and, leaving your home, to understand that you will not meet your girlfriend or acquaintance in the same thing!
