How many outfits does each girl need? It is difficult to answer this question. But every girl dreams of such a wardrobe, where there is everything! That's why so often many of us envy friends who can sew. For them, problems with what to wear or how to sew a T-shirt do not exist. Where do these needlewomen and fashionistas take patterns and find time for sewing? It turns out that many popular models and styles can be made by yourself, even without special needlework skills.
T-shirt with a bow from an old T-shirt
You will need an old gray T-shirt , a strip of pearl-colored fabric 10 cm wide and a half meters long. If you want to make a looser silhouette, you can see what old men's T-shirts are at home, and take one of them. The main thing is to choose a beautiful combination of colors for the bow and t-shirts.
- We make a bow: fold a piece of fabric along, sew and twist. We sew the ends obliquely.
- We lay out the T-shirt on the table and cut off the sleeves. Now draw a line connecting the lowest points of the shoulder seam and cut it off.
- We process the armholes of the sleeves. To do this, you can use the overlock or wrap them two times and sew.
- We make the neck. We bend the top, iron and iron at a distance of 5 cm. We put a bow in the resulting neckline.
Peplum T-shirt
This style has been especially popular lately. No wonder you can often hear questions on women's forums about how to sew a T-shirt with a Basques.
So, to create such a model, 2 T-shirts will be required: one of the required size, and the second is much larger than the first. You can take t-shirts of the same color or different. Just in the second version, the basque will differ in color from the model.
We measure the distance from the shoulder seam through the highest point of the chest to the waist. Set aside on a shirt of your size and cut it off. So you can not only solve the question of how to sew a T-shirt with a Basques, but also make a T-shirt or turtleneck with the same beautiful Basques. And for a special occasion, you can cut a basque out of lace fabric.
We make a basque pattern. To do this, draw two semicircles, one in the other. The outer radius will be 40-45 cm, and the inner radius will be calculated as the width of the t-shirt of your size, divided by 3. Next, place the pattern on a larger shirt and cut it out. Now it remains to sew the received parts and process the bottom of the basques.
These fashionable T-shirts can be sewn in just an hour of work. For models with a bow, you can also use braid, lace or satin ribbons. In the second version, the basques can be additionally decorated with decorative trim or cut and sew 2 basques at once: the upper one is 5 cm shorter than the lower one.
For these creative models, we used ready-made T-shirts that were purchased specifically or were already in our wardrobe. But many want to learn about how to sew a shirt completely without resorting to such tricks. For this, the easiest way is to use electronic patterns, which are now quite a lot on the Internet. But in this case, you must have the skills to work with knitted fabrics and be able to deal with tailor's patterns and calculations.
