In a knitted dress you will be comfortable and comfortable. By adding accessories in the form of a belt or jewelry, from everyday clothes it can be turned into an evening outfit. Having picked up a beautiful cut, you can sew a dress from knitwear with your own hands, without having the skills of a cutter. Below are two ways to sew a dress without a pattern.
Choose a style
When sewing a dress, you need to consider the features of the figure. If you have a tummy, then it is better to refuse a tight-fitting dress , since knitted fabric will only increase the shortcomings. But a way out can be found by sewing a small piece of fabric into the waist area in the form of a short skirt (peplum). Also, this technique will help to hide the extra centimeters on the hips. Full hands should also not be tightened, so the sleeve should be loose cut.
Owners of a magnificent and beautiful breast are recommended a V-shaped neckline, and you can also make a neckline for smell.
Features of sewing knitwear
To sew a dress from knitwear, three measurements are enough. This is the volume of the hips, chest and waist. You can make a pattern on paper or cut directly on the fabric. Knitwear can only be crocheted, as it stretches laterally. To do this, combine the edges of the fabric and fold the front sides inward. Next, to sew a dress from knitwear, we draw a pattern on the fabric, and then we pin both layers with pins and cut out two parts at once. When sewing knitwear, it is better to use an overlock. If this tool is not available, you can use the zigzag seam on the sewing machine. To process the neck, the liner must be glued with non-woven to avoid excessive stretching. The edges of the hem and sleeves can be hemmed manually or with a sewing machine with a double needle. The seam in this case will be elastic and tensile. To sew a dress from knitwear, you need to use special needles, which have a round end. Such a needle does not pierce the fabric, but enters it, spreading the fibers.
We sew a dress on a shirt
The easiest way to cut will help sew the dress out of knitwear itself, without measuring the figure.
Although one measure still needs to be removed. This will be the length of the product, it should be measured from the shoulder to the desired length below. For these purposes, you can measure your dress with a comfortable length. For sewing, take your favorite T-shirt or T-shirt that sits well on you. We smooth and lay on a fabric folded in two layers. Pins off shirt and fabric. We circle the shirt along the contour, not forgetting to leave half a centimeter along the edge for allowances. We measure the length. We cut out the details and grind the shoulder and side seams. The shape of the neckline can be made by putting on a short dress on yourself and noting in small pieces what the neckline will be. The neck can be processed in two ways. The first is a
slanting inlay. It can be purchased ready-made at a fabric store or cut out from a fabric for a dress at an angle of 45 degrees. The second way is to grind. For it, you need to circle the neck from the back and front with individual parts and add 4-5 cm to the inside. Sew to the neck, and on the front side we sew with a double needle or a decorative seam.
Crochet a peplum dress
Sewing a dress from knitwear in this way is also easy. It is necessary to remove the sizes of the girths of the chest, waist and hips. As well as the distance from the shoulder to the chest line, to the waistline and hips.
We add the cut along and outline the length of the product. Now we mark all the measurements on the fabric and cut out two details of the dress. If you want to add a peplum to the dress, then the waist line must be cut. From the knitwear we cut a rectangle with a length equal to the waist, but doubled. The length is arbitrary - from 10 to 20 cm. We sew the basque on the machine with a weak thread tension and tighten it. We fold the upper and lower parts of the dress, inserting a peplum between them, and grind. The rest of the sewing is the same as in the previous method.
