Yes, and there is a little thing, in principle, to any representative of the fair sex - from a baby girl to a mature lady of very appetizing forms. Therefore, I would like to have more of these toilet articles in my wardrobe - different colors and styles. The most elementary for this is to learn how to sew them yourself.
Thread, scissors, needle
Sewing the top with your own hands is not a problem, especially if you have the skills to work with the machine and there is one on the farm. If not, that's okay. After all, it is not necessary to start with complex models. Master a few simple ones, and there new things will go in full swing. But what do you need to start to try to sew the top for the first time with your own hands? Sharp scissors, material, bar of soap or chalk, accessories for processing. And the finished thing, which will serve as a model. This is the most convenient way to master a new business. Let's get started?
Phased work
Iron the prepared piece of fabric - it is more convenient to work with it. Take a T-shirt model that sits well on you, is easy to design, and by which you will try to sew a top with your own hands. Ideally, if it is sleeveless and consists of two flaps, approximately the same size. Fold the fabric in half (face up). Put a sample on it. Circle the contours with soap or chalk. After that, circle again, just step back from the first contours by 2 cm to the outer edges of the matter.
Why is this needed? In this way, you lay back the fabric needed for seams and hem. Recheck whether everything is done correctly, otherwise to sew a top with your own hands, you will urgently need to look for a new flap of material. Then cut both parts at once, only carefully so as not to damage the workpieces. Now carefully chop each side of the T-shirt so that the threads do not roll in and the seams do not diverge. To do this, tuck the edges along the cuts from the inside out and sew. Or overlock. After that, you can connect the halves.
You learn how to sew a top without a pattern, by eye. Therefore, first bast the blanks, try on. And if everything is correct, connect thoroughly. Is your model with harnesses? Then they will also have to be cut out. In finished form, each should be two fingers wide. Length - 50 cm. Take them in, try on, is it convenient. You can sew the front straps at the chest level parallel to each other. And let them cross at the back - it will turn out fashionably and conveniently. We offer to decorate your top with embroidery, appliqués, lace, beads, a bow or a flower from the main fabric - depending on what accessories are at hand.
Free option
And you can sew a summer top with your own hands and in a slightly different way. Purchase a piece of bright lightweight fabric a meter and a half or two wide and 50-60 centimeters in length. Edges to process. Over the entire width, put the fabric so that you can draw in a wide elastic band and sew. Then fold the fabric in half, as if preparing to cut blanks, and stitch. You have a wide rectangle - the future top. Pull the elastic band so long that when you lock it in, it normally holds the shirt and prevents it from sliding off the chest. Then connect both ends and thread the elastic into the space allotted to it. Your yoke top is ready. He does not need harnesses, and if he so wants, a string of beads is quite suitable as their quality. Sew the bottom of the shirt with lace stitching or beaded fringe.
We make patterns
It is easier for someone to start sewing with a pattern. How to make it? Take a ready-made simple-looking thing. Attach it to a sheet of paper and circle. Cut the resulting contours - here you have the stencil-base. It will be convenient to use it in order to sew models that are close in appearance. Good luck
