Why do some girls sew clothes for themselves? It seems to some that it’s much easier, and more practical to buy a thing in a store. Probably, these people never sewed and they do not feel joy from the creative process. In this article, we offer 4 patterns of short dresses with short sleeves.
Asymmetric cut
If you are just starting to sew and are still not completely confident in your abilities, you should not take up complex models. It is better to hone your experience on simple patterns.
A short dress with a short sleeve of an asymmetric cut will be the best start. It is sewn elementarily. Pattern attached above. To make such a dress, you need a piece of fabric of 1.5 m. Moreover, it is desirable that the shelf of the product was cut along the oblique. Of course, this will increase the consumption of material spent, but it will allow the product to beautifully fall in folds. We sew the back and front shelf together, leaving holes for the hands and head. We process all the holes left, as well as the hem, using a slanting inlay. If desired, welt pockets can be made in the front of the product. Such a dress can be sewn as a beach tunic, or if it is made of a dense opaque material, you can use it to create a cocktail look.
Sheath Dress
Often, designers use one pattern to create several styles of dresses. They transform cuts and cuts, and a completely different model is obtained. So, according to the above pattern of a direct dress with a short sleeve, several styles of clothing can be sewn. We will talk about a more non-trivial option. To make this dress you will need a dense fabric. The style of the case always looks very strict, even if it is sewn from material with a cheerful print. We transfer the pattern of a short dress with a short sleeve to the fabric and cut out the details. The first step is to sew the tucks, the next step is the side seams. And to finish sewing the product should be the
processing of the neck, sleeves and hem. According to the above pattern, you can also make a sleeveless dress and a model with a wide skirt.
Sleeveless dress
In the summer heat, the girls want to look amazing, but do not wear a lot of clothes, creating a layered effect. The most convenient option for the summer is a tight-fitting short dress with a short sleeve. The pattern of such a model is given above. In order to make a dress, as in our example, you need to carefully select the fabric. The print should begin at the bottom of the product and smoothly end in the chest area. You can choose a simpler option and buy a fabric with a pattern evenly located on it. If you don’t want to think about how to connect the pattern more successfully, you should buy a plain material, which will still look advantageous.
The front and rear shelves will be cut in one pattern. We cut out two parts and grind them along the side and shoulder seams. Now you should overcast the hem, sleeves and neck. If necessary, hidden pockets can be sewn into the side seams.
Summer dress
The most feminine summer look should consist of chiffon things. And the most romantic of them are dresses with a one-piece short sleeve. The pattern of such a product is given above. To make this dress will not be a problem even for a beginning seamstress. The main thing in working with chiffon is to properly configure the machine and purchase a thin needle that will not leave too large holes in the fabric. Let's start making a summer dress with a short sleeve.
The pattern above must be scaled and printed. Now you should place it on the fabric. You need to circle it with soap so as not to stain the thin material. Then cut the parts along the contour. After all the blanks are done, you can start sewing. We grind the front and back shelf along the shoulder and side seams. The neck should be turned with a piece of the same fabric that went on sewing the dress. But the sleeves and hem can not be grinded, you should just overcast them. The ideal option would be to use an overlock, but if it is not there, then it is quite possible to get by with a zigzag. The final step will be to gum in the belt. It is advisable not to make it too tight. Keeping the dress is not her task, the belt can handle it. The purpose of the elastic is to create romantic pleats on the skirt. If it seems to you that the dress is very transparent, then you can supplement it with a lining from the same material or choose a fabric of a neutral shade, for example, beige.
