The long-awaited summer is just around the corner, and most women are already acquiring light things that will not be hot. One of the most sought-after items of women's summer wardrobe is a tunic. Oddly enough, you can sew a tunic yourself, saving yourself from endless shopping trips.
This procedure is quite simple and has a lot of advantages. Firstly, it will help you save money and time, since it is usually 2 times cheaper to sew a tunic with your own hands than to buy. Secondly, sewn independently, it will take into account all your fantasies and wishes: style, color that you like.
It is necessary to start sewing with the choice of fabric. It is enough to take the right step and choose the material that is unpretentious in care, a good style and color, and then you will never come face to face with your clone. And if you want to be irresistible, it makes sense to sew a tunic with your own hands.
Before embarking on the sewing process itself, it is necessary to adequately assess your capabilities and choose the appropriate method. If you do not have experience in making clothes, and the sewing machine dusting at your place does not have
seam processing functions, you can resort to using satin or any other scarves. Sewing a tunic from scarves is not difficult. Firstly, all edges are already finished. Secondly, the number of seams that must be completed can be counted on the fingers.
In order to use this method, you need to purchase 2 scarves 90-100 cm in size, suitable threads, buttons and other necessary accessories. Then comes one of the most difficult stages - taking measurements.
By applying vertical lines exactly in the middle on both scarves, you can determine the neckline, as a rule, it is applied at a distance of 10-20 cm from the middle vertical line. It is from her that the shoulder seams originate, which will depend on the distance left by you. After all measurements are made, the labels are outlined, you can proceed to the next step and sweep the tunic. Having tried on a product, it is possible to correct and make corrections, and then stitch out the outlined seams.
However, not everyone is looking for easy ways, and many women are interested in how to sew tunic for the beach in a more complicated way.
As in the previous method, sewing must begin with taking measurements. First of all, it is necessary to determine the width of the product, given the half-circumference of the hips and
adding a couple of centimeters for a free cut. Next, you need to determine the neck, width and length of the sleeve. The length of the sleeve must be calculated from the center line of the chest to the length you need, plus a few centimeters for the hem. It should be borne in mind that the sleeve rises if the hand is in a lowered state. Also consider half arm circumference.
Next, you need to process all the edges with an overlock and make a double bend. Sweep all the seams and try on your product. Make changes if necessary. It will not be difficult to carry out work on already marked seams. The first method differs from the second in that it is much more difficult to sew a tunic in the second way, since there is a need to process seams, make patterns, while with the first method you just need to sew scarves in the right places.
In conclusion, you can decorate the resulting product with glass beads, sequins or beads. In order to sew a tunic, at least in the first way, you do not need to have special skills. It’s enough to show your imagination, experiment a little, and you will definitely create a unique outfit that will make passersby look around.
