In order for the coat pattern to have the correct parameters and match the figure of its future owner, it is important to clearly measure all the values. Begin with the volume of the neck, chest, waist and hips. Then measured the height of the chest, back and shoulder. It is important to correctly measure the length of the sleeve, as well as the main product and write down all the data.
The main pattern is built on paper and most often has clear straight lines. If you sew a coat based only on this material, then it is unlikely to have an attractive appearance. That is why it is necessary to come up with the image of this product in advance, the features of its cut, that is, in a word, to develop a style.
If you are a beginner dressmaker, then it is advisable to start with simple models. A pattern of a coat of a free cut or a poncho, where there are no fitted seams, tucks and a separate sleeve, is suitable. Typically, these clothing options consist of such parts as the front and rear shelves, which adjoin parts of a one-piece sleeve and collar. Despite the fact that the coat is sewn very simply and quickly, it looks stunning. Such styles were very relevant in the 80s, and now, when fashion returns, they have regained popularity among women around the world. It is worth noting that if a demi-season model of a similar plan is sewn, then the sleeves can be replaced with simple openings, thereby giving the product an eccentricity. This will turn out a great combination of styles - a poncho and an autumn wardrobe item.
If the pattern of the coat suggests that the style of the future product will be fitted, then it must be borne in mind that all the seams (and there are a lot of them in such a model) should be impeccable.
You should also properly bundle the fabric, given that on each element of the workpiece, the
shared thread should be directed in the same direction. Otherwise, the shelves of the finished product will have a skewed and tightened appearance, and the work done will lose its meaning.
It’s easy and quick to sew baby-style outerwear, which is ideal for both an adult woman and a child. The pattern of a children's coat is simpler and more understandable, it has a minimum number of tucks, but this is compensated, perhaps, by a lot of patch elements - pockets, a hood, and so on. For the manufacture of such a model, it is desirable to use bright material or decorate the finished product with creative buttons and sewn elements.
Relative simplicity and accessibility is different and the pattern of the male coat.
The shape of such a product does not have to be fitted, have tucks and other complex cut elements. However, there are certain requirements that men's outerwear must meet - a clear line of the shoulders, a straight collar and minimalism in all the auxiliary details. The coat can be decorated with patch pockets, however, they must be made of the same material as the main product, and have strict shapes.
Any pattern of a coat is built based on the individual parameters of the future owner, which is why outerwear made by yourself or on order always has an impeccable look.
