Every woman wants to be fashionable and beautiful always, but especially in summer. In sunny bright weather, as never before, I want to wear something bright and memorable, for example, a sundress. But what if there isn’t one in your wardrobe? There are two options for solving this problem. The first is to run to the store and buy yourself such a thing, the second is to sew a sundress with your own hands. Of course, you can resort to the first option, but the second will use your imagination, imagination, skill and will allow you to do an absolutely unique thing yourself.
How to sew sundresses with your own hands?
To do this, we need a sewing machine, a small piece of fabric (it is advisable to take multi-colored material) and, accordingly, a lot of desire to do something amazing and exclusive with our own hands.
Let's start with the fabric
We begin to sew a summer sundress in the simplest way. Accordingly, you will need a bright, beautiful material. We choose the best with floral patterns, since it is such a fabric that does not require complex cuts.
How to sew sundresses with your own hands: instruction
Everything will be elementary, even the pattern does not need to be done. But how to sew sundresses with your own hands without a pattern? Let's look at how to do this.
- First, determine the length of the sundress. The choice depends on your taste.
- We measure the length itself, add 2-3 centimeters, add to the allowances above and below. It’s best to leave more, then you can cut it off.
- To determine the width, measure the volume of the hips. You can make the product a little wider. A long wide model sewn from light flowing fabric will look good. The calculation of the width is simple. The width should be 1.5-2 times wider than the volume of your hips.
- The sundress has only one seam. Another is on the top and bottom of the fabric for processing.
- Fold the fabric in half face to face and make a seam. Then you need to iron it and process the slices. The bottom should be folded twice and sewn. Bend the fabric on top inside out so that you can place the elastic, and stitch it. Do not forget to leave a hole for a pin with an elastic band.
- When all the seams are completed, it is necessary to insert an elastic band, since it is easiest to sew a sundress on an elastic band. After we measure the product on ourselves. We finish only the finish.
- Sew on the straps, you can decorate with colored beads. You can also sew on a belt or choose the right belt.
This is the easiest way to sew sundresses with your own hands.
Important
I would like to once again remind you of accuracy and attentiveness. No wonder the proverb says: "Measure seven times, cut once." Such a proverb is directly related to sewing clothes. Do not try to do everything in half an hour. Sundresses for the summer are made easy, the main thing is desire, imagination and, of course, skill and ability. The last two conditions are achieved by practice. Try on the masterpiece you create more often. After all, this is how you can adjust the seams. After stitching, it is necessary to iron the seams with an iron and from the wrong side to overcast them on the overlock. Do not be afraid to create something with your own hands. Be bolder - and you will succeed!
