In hot summer weather, I so want to wear some light and laid-back clothes. The idea to sew a summer skirt independently appeared in the head of no girl. But the search for patterns and other patterns, the lack of experience could stop this idea even before its implementation. If you already have experience in sewing, then an independent pattern of a summer skirt will not be too complicated for you. To do this, you will need to take three basic measurements: the length of the future product, the semicircle of the waist and the semicircle of the hips.
Skirt front
In order for the pattern of the summer skirt to be done qualitatively, it is necessary to remember the main points. It is required to construct a right angle and mark the vertex with the letter “T”. From it down, you need to postpone the measurement of the length of the model and put "H". From the top of the corner, 19 cm is counted (for any size of the skirt). This point should be marked with the letter “B”. This will be the length of the hips. From point "B" and "H" you need to draw horizontal lines of the hips and bottom to the left. For the width of the skirt from "B", the measurement of the semicircle of the hips is postponed. A certain number of centimeters should be added to it, depending on the freedom of cut. This point must be designated "B1" and draw a vertical line through it. It should intersect with horizontal lines. The intersection points are designated “T1” (upper) and “H1” (lower). To build the lateral line from "B", half of the semicircle of the hips and additional centimeters for freedom of cut are laid to the left, as well as a couple of centimeters for expanding the front part.
The intersection with the bottom line is indicated by "H2". The pattern of the summer skirt, namely its front part, along the waist line should occur as follows: from “T” you need to put aside the left half of the waist semicircle plus 2 cm, plus 2.5 cm and plus 1.6 cm. These centimeters will go for expansion, tuck and fit. It is necessary to put the designation “T2” there and count 2 cm from this point. The resulting point must be designated “T3” and connect it to “B2”. Between "T3" and "T" should be a concave line. If the skirt is straight, then 2-6 cm is laid off from "H2". This point is marked as "H3". It will need to be connected to B2. From “H3” upwards along the straight line of the points “H3 and B2” you should measure 1 cm, mark it as “H4” and connect with a light convex line to the point “H”. Tucks are built from the "T" to the left. It is necessary to measure half the distance “T2” and take away 1 cm. “T4” is placed in this place. From “B” to the left you should postpone the length equal to “T4” and add 0.5 cm. This will be “B3”. "T4" and "B3" are connected by a straight line. The end of the tuck must begin to build from the "B3" plus 4 cm. Up. Mark the point "B4". The depth of the tuck should be drawn from the "T4" to the right and left at 1.25 cm. The points "T5" and "T6" must be connected directly with "B4".
Skirt back
The pattern of the summer skirt, namely its back, is as follows: the width of this part is 1/4 of the waist semicircle minus 2 cm, plus 5 cm and plus 1 cm from the “T1” to the right. This point “T7” is designated. From it up you need to count 2 cm and put "T8", which will need to connect a straight line with "B2". From "H2" to the right, you need to measure 6 cm and put the point "H5". It must be connected by a straight line with "B2". From “H5” upward along the straight line “B2H5”, 1 cm should be set aside. This point is indicated by “H6”. Subsequently, it must be connected with the "H1" convex line. The tuck is constructed similarly to the tuck of the front canvas.
Conclusion
Models of skirts with patterns are currently not so difficult to find. But if you decide to do the pattern yourself, then we hope this article will help you a lot. If you want your product to meet all the nuances of fashion, then it is worth looking at and comparing all skirts by period - spring 2011, 2012 and 2013. This will help determine your preferences and take into account current trends.
