In order to look stylish and fashionable, as well as to emphasize their sophisticated taste and personality, many girls try to sew some details of the wardrobe on their own. But in order to sew a skirt or trousers on your own,
You need to figure out how to properly remove the required sizes and how to make a pattern for your new thing.
We are preparing a skirt pattern
As an original part of the wardrobe, you can sew a skirt yourself. And not just a skirt, but a fashionable and unique thing.
Of course, this is not as simple as it seems, but with a great desire it is quite doable.
First of all, it is necessary to take measurements correctly, and make a pattern on them. When the pattern is ready, we can assume that half the work is done. So how to make a skirt pattern?
We proceed to the most responsible, initial stage. First thing you need
take measurements correctly. To do this, take a centimeter cloth tape.
There will be three measures:
1. Half-waist. Wrap the tape around the waist in its narrowest part and divide
result in half.
2. Half-circumference of the hips is measured similarly, but in the widest place. And do not be afraid to add a couple of “extra” centimeters.
3. The length of the skirt. Everything is simple here.
At the same time, do not forget about the small allowances that are necessary for a loose fit. Remember that for high-quality tailoring it is necessary to leave a certain distance on the fabric for "increases". Measuring and cutting off the fabric, you need
add about 1-2 cm to the circumference of the hips and waist, 4-5 cm for a comfortable fit on the skirt, about 2-3 cm to bend the lower part, 1-2 cm to the seams.
You should also carefully choose the fabric - some of them sit down after washing and heat treatment. And it is better, before making a pattern, iron the fabric with an iron.
Let's note some important points:
1. Ready-made patterns of skirts, trousers, shorts of various styles you can find in fashion magazines. Before you make a pattern, fit it to your size.
2. For convenience, prepare a graph paper or tissue paper before making a pattern.
3. Use a plastic wrap to secure it to the fabric. We put the film between the fabric and the pattern and iron it all with an iron.
4. Always apply the pattern only from the wrong side.
5. If you decide to sew a tight-fitting skirt, then do not forget about the lining. With a lining, the finished skirt will sit better.
6. In the process of sewing, try to try on the future skirt as often as possible.
We make a pattern of trousers
To understand how to make a pattern of trousers, you need to consider more parameters and features. Pants are certainly a more sophisticated element of clothing than a skirt. The following are data that will help you figure out how to make a pattern for this product. You need to remove the following sizes:
1. Half-waist.
2. Half hips.
3. The length of the trousers on the side.
4. The length of the trousers to the knee in front.
5. Half girth of the knee.
6. Seat height.
Having made all the necessary measurements, we customize the pattern to fit our parameters. Also do not forget about the allowances and fabric features. Depending on the methodology for preparing the pattern, the measurements can be less or more. However, in most cases they are identical.
After you have sewn the product, iron it, remove the remaining threads and try on a new thing.
