Children's shorts: pattern of a model with an elastic band for a girl

The child, however, as well as an adult, should be comfortable in clothes. Otherwise, tears cannot be avoided. Summer light clothing should be comfortable to wear, elegant and practical. Both the boy and the girl in the wardrobe of summer things simply need children's shorts. The pattern of this type of clothing can be very different.

What are children's shorts?

Universal clothes for the child in the summer - children's shorts. Pattern them decides what kind of shorts will turn out. After all, there can be many types of such clothes for children and adults:

• on an elastic band;
• sandbox shorts;
• classic on a belt with a fastener:
• long - Bermuda;
• skin-tight - leggings;
• shorts swimming trunks.

It is good when there are a lot of things and there is plenty to choose from in order to dress the baby both in weather and in the situation. So children's shorts, a pattern for them are things necessary for the child and his mother-needlewoman.

Correct pattern

In sewing clothes, the most basic thing is a properly constructed or selected pattern. Children's shorts on an elastic band for the girl are no exception, no matter what their style. Depends on the pattern, how clothes will sit, whether it will be comfortable.

The pattern of trousers and shorts is built a little more complicated than the pattern of the skirt, but you can also create it yourself, if you follow the recommendations, clearly implement them.

What to take measurements for shorts?

To sew children's shorts with your own hands, the pattern should correspond to the following measurements:

• waist circumference ;
• thigh circumference;
• length from waist to hips;
• girth of the leg (it is measured along the thigh of the child in the widest part);
• the length of the step seam - this measure is taken along the inner surface of the thigh from the groin to the edge of the leg;
• the length of the product, which is measured on the outside from the waist line to the edge of the leg.

Since the kids do not yet have a waist as such, to construct a pattern of shorts for small children, you can use only the measurement of the circumference of the hips. All measurements need to be recorded, do not rely on your memory.

Building a base for a pattern of shorts

It does not matter what gender the child is, he needs children's shorts. A pattern that you can build yourself, according to individual sizes, will help to sew any shorts or even trousers. How to build it:

1. On a sheet of paper (it is best to use drawing graph paper) in the upper left corner, 5 cm from the edges, draw a right angle, indicating the main point with the letter T.
2. On the horizontal line, lay the semi-girth of the hips, dividing the resulting value in half, put a mark B.
3. On the vertical, postpone the length of the product, putting the point H, and the length of the step seam up from the bottom edge - point W.
4. Draw horizontal lines to the right along these points. From T, set aside the horizontal half-girth of the hips (T).
5. From it we lower the perpendicular, placing the points W ₁ and H ₁ . The basic grid for building patterns is ready.

Draw a cut line in front

Now the main stage - you need to build a cut line for planting panties, so that it is convenient to walk, run, climb, climb, sit in them:

1. To do this, measure the distance from point W ₁ along a horizontal line. Hips + 4 cm for freedom of fitting. This number is divided by 20, the resulting figure needs to be rounded to the next integer (for example, if it works out 2.8 then take 3). Postpone the resulting value: point W ₂ - point of step width for the front half of the shorts.
2. The next step is to divide the right angle at point W ₁ in half, laying off 45 °.
3. On this line, measure half the width of the stepping seam and put a point.
4. Connect the points B, the mark of the half step seam on the bisector of the angle and the point W _{2 with a} smooth line.

Everything, front half patterns of children's shorts are ready!

Build the back half of the shorts

The construction of a pattern of children's shorts should be continued by tracing the back half. Its basis will be the same, so an already-built drawing can be copied to get two details. The back half of the shorts will be wider, which is clear from the anatomy of the human body:

• From point _1, set aside 1/4 of the circumference of the hips, put point ₃ .
• From it, lower the perpendicular to the bottom line of the product and mark H ₃ .
• To build a good fit in the groin, you need to postpone 1 centimeter perpendicular downward exactly in the middle of the segment ₂ - ₃ .
• Connect current B and point W ₃ through the resulting mark as smoothly as possible, taking into account the constructed undercut of the front part.

Well, the pattern of children's shorts for a girl or for a boy is almost ready. Case for small.

So that the shorts sit

In the upper part, children's shorts, the pattern of which has already been built, will be put on an elastic band or on a drawstring with ties. It is also necessary to build the lower part so that the shorts sit not only comfortably, but also beautifully, do not puff on the pope with a bag, do not interfere with the legs moving.

This requires an undercut of the stepping seam in the trousers. It can be built in two ways - by dividing the leg circumference in half and first laying it off from point H to the right, and then dividing it into 4 parts and putting the resulting value off from point H ₁ . Or you can go a simpler way and simply divide the segments H ₁ -H ₂ and H ₂ -H ₃ in half and draw cut lines along the points obtained, as indicated in the figure.

Here is a line designed for freedom of fit (green along the side seam). Since children do not have a thin waist and lush hips, like adults, when the difference between these parameters is quite significant, an average of 2-2.5 centimeters is taken for freedom of fitting for each of the 4 parts.

Sewing children's shorts, the pattern of which is built according to the individual size of the child, will be quite simple.

Elastic shorts

So, a pattern of children's shorts with an elastic band is built on their own. It is most convenient for the child to sew and wear them. And in order to cut a drawstring for the elastic, you need to measure the resulting waist line by the pattern, then cut a strip from the fabric, which will be equal in length to the length of the waist line, and in width will be two sizes of the width of the elastic plus 1 centimeter spare. Be sure to make allowances for the seams. If the elastic is thin - ordinary linen, then you can make 2-3 drawstring by stitching the girdle.

Shorts-leggings for a girl - features patterns

Sewing children's shorts, the pattern of which is built according to your own standards with your own hands, is not difficult. Moreover, a simple pattern can be slightly changed. For example, girls are very comfortable and practical shorts, leggings. Since this type of clothing is sewn from knitwear, and leggings do not sit tight, but fit the body, you need to make allowances for seams less - not 2-2.5 cm, but only 1-1.5.

Basically, the pattern will be exactly the same. The length of the trousers can be made as desired - from short shorts to full pants. In this case, an additional measure of the circumference of the lower leg will be necessary so that the stitched panties do not hang out, but sit on the leg. Based on the previously constructed pattern, it will be necessary to postpone the length of the trousers that you need to get, and from it horizontally measure half the circumference of the lower leg, adding 1-1.5 cm to the freedom of fitting and allowances for the seams.

Sandal Shorts

For the youngest children it is convenient to use the so-called sandbox shorts. These are panties on the straps that do not allow them to slide. The most elementary sandbox will come from shorts, to the belt of which straps are sewn. They cut out a sufficient length from waist to waist, passing through the shoulders of the baby. It is most convenient to fasten them on buttons, and if you put straps on the buttons both front and rear, then they can be removed when they are not needed.

For babies who are just learning to sit and walk, a diaper is commonplace. So, building a pattern for such a crumb, you should take into account this much-needed accessory - make the pants wider in the priest, increase the length of the fit from the waist to the groin. Sewing shorts on a tiny one is best from knitwear - it stretches, allowing things to sit down in size.

Sewing children's shorts, the pattern of which corresponds to the size and needs of the child, is grateful, the baby will feel comfortable in them, and the mother will be able to be proud of both her child and her work as a needlewoman.
