We are building a school suit for a boy with a detailed description and photos.
In this article we will tell you how to sewDIY school suit for a boy using semi-woolen or woolen fabric. You can try making a jacket from one color material and trousers from a material of a different shade, which, however, will be in harmony with the color of the jacket. Create pockets for the jacket at your discretion: either patch or slit. The lower part of the trousers can have cuffs or be without them.So, let's begin.To construct the pattern, we take the following measurements: half-girth of the chest (thirty-six centimeters), length of the back to the waist line (thirty-one centimeters), half-girth of the boy's neck (fifteen centimeters), length - fifty-five centimeters, sleeve (length) - forty-eight centimeters, shoulder (length) - eleven centimeters. Draw a rectangle ABCD, in which the vertical lines AD and BS will be equal to fifty-five centimeters, and the horizontal lines AB, CD, corresponding to the width, are forty-two centimeters. We create the depth of the armhole. Put down seventeen centimeters along the straight line AD, then put a point G at the end (we calculate: one third of the half-girth of the chest + five centimeters for any size): thirty-six: three + five = seventeen centimeters. From point G, it is necessary to draw a line horizontally until the moment of intersection with the straight line BS, the point of intersection of these lines will be G1.
Create a waist line.Measure down along straight line AD thirty one centimeters, then put point T at the end. From point T it is necessary to draw a line horizontally to the right side until the moment of intersection with straight line BS, the point of intersection of these lines will be T1. Determine the width of the back on the pattern. Measure fifteen centimeters to the right side from point G, then put point G 2 at the end (calculate: one third of the semicircle of the chest + three centimeters for any size): thirty six: three + three = fifteen centimeters. From point G2 it is necessary to draw a perpendicular line until the moment of intersection with straight line AB, the point of intersection of these lines will be P.
We determine the width of the armhole on the pattern.Put aside eleven centimeters to the right of point G2, then put point G 3 at the end (calculate: a quarter of the chest semicircle + two centimeters for any size): thirty-six: four + two = eleven centimeters. From point G3, you need to draw a perpendicular line until it intersects with straight line AB, the intersection point of these lines will be P1. Determine the side line on the pattern. Measure two centimeters from point G2 along straight line GG1, then put point G 4 at the end (for any size. From point G4, it is necessary to draw a perpendicular line until the moment of intersection with straight line SD, the point of intersection of these lines will be H. The moment of intersection of the perpendicular line with straight line TT1 will be called point T2. Construction of additional points along the armhole and shoulder line. Straight lines P1G3 and PG2 must be divided into 4 equal components. In this case, additional constructions on the pattern are completed, it is necessary to proceed to creating drawings of the back and front part of the product.
Next we make the construction of the pattern for the back of the jacket(neckline, shoulder slope, shoulder line and armhole line, side seam), then create a drawing of the shelf, design the waistline and the bottom line of the product, do not forget about the darts on the jacket, create the sleeves (Draw a rectangle ABCD, in which the vertical lines AD and BS will be equal to forty-eight centimeters, and the horizontal lines AB, CD, corresponding to the width, are seventeen centimeters). Then create a collar pattern. Cutting out the lining elements should be carried out according to the patterns of the product parts themselves. Then proceed directly to sewing the product itself. 1. Duplicate all the cutting elements. 2. The pockets should be processed. They can be either patch or slit. If you choose patch pockets, they will need to be created on the lining, when using woolen fabric. 3. Stitch the seams on the sides and shoulders. Place the facing face to the jacket's front part, sweep them. Make a rise at the top of the facing, stitch from the shelf, while you need to step back from the edge seven tenths of a centimeter. Then distribute the stitching on 2 sides, iron and sweep.
4.The bottom of the jacket itself and its sleeves should be folded to the wrong side and swept. After that, the sleeves can be swept into the armhole of the product. When basting the sleeve, it is worth making a small landing along the sleeve cap line. Then sharpen the sleeve. 5. Fold the lower part of the collar with its upper component with the front sides facing, carefully align all the cuts, baste, while you need to fit the upper part of the collar at the corners. When stitching, you should retreat half a centimeter from the cut edge. The corners of the collar must be trimmed to avoid compaction. Straighten the seam and iron. Next, the collar should be turned to the front side and swept along the edge with a piping, starting from the upper collar. The finished collar should be swept into the neckline. The collar should be sewn in from the side of the lower collar. 6. Prepare the lining pieces for joining to the top piece.
After the lining is attached toproduct, it is necessary to attach shoulder pads, attach the lining to the sleeves of the jacket, then hem the lower unstitched part of the product using a blind stitch. Make loops on the left shelf, and attach the buttons to the right side of the shelf. Finally, the jacket should be ironed well. Let's move on to making trousers for a boy's school suit. To determine how much material you will need to sew trousers, you need to take into account their desired length. Taking a piece of fabric 1.5 meters wide, determine its length by the length of the product plus another ten - twenty centimeters. To construct a pattern, we take the following measurements: half-girth of the waist (thirty-four centimeters), length of the product (seventy-five centimeters), half-girth of the boy's hips (thirty-eight centimeters.
1. Create a pattern drawing. 2.Measure the front and back sides along the boy's waistline, hips, knees, bottom, and then compare the length of the product with the results you initially envisaged. 3. Make sure that the step and side lines correspond to each other in length in the front and back. 4. Check the connection of the front and back sides of the trousers on the sides at the waistline and bottom line. 5. Check whether the waistline is correctly designed with closed darts and folds. Let's move on to cutting out the trousers from fabric. Fold the fabric in 2 layers. The grain line of the fabric material runs along the ironed straight line. To ensure the correct connection of the cuts and other elements of the pattern after you cut them out, you need to make small notches that will help determine where the pockets begin and end on the sides.
Trousers should be cut without leaving any allowance for seams,because these allowances have already been taken into account when constructing the pattern drawing itself. The slits need to be laid along the ironed straight line, darts, pockets on the sides, knees and trouser bottom. Each seam that is located inside must be carefully ironed on 2 sides. And we advise you to stitch the seam that runs along the seat twice to provide it with additional strength. Sewing trousers for a boy's school suit. 1. It is necessary to lay slits along the fold lines located in the front and the darts that are located in the back. We baste the folds, overcast the side seams, as well as the step and seat seams. Next, you need to carefully iron the darts. 2. Carefully process the lining and attach it to the front of the trousers. 3. It is necessary to process the pockets. 4. Stitch the trousers with a seam, the width of which will be about one centimeter. Then iron the seam. 5. Sew the trousers along the inseams, aligning the notches. The width of the seam will be about one centimeter. Then iron the seam. 6. Process the bow of the trousers. 7. Sew the seat seam of the trousers. We recommend stitching twice to provide it with additional strength. When sewing the seams, the seat and inseams match. 8. Use the corset tape to process the belt. It consists of 2 parts (left and right parts separately). 9. Baste the belt loops to the front part of the upper line of the trousers with the right side. Place the belt on the belt loops face down, then baste and stitch it seven millimeters from the cut line. 10. Process the bottom of the trousers. Sew on the trouser tape, which will help them serve you longer. 11. Create a loop on the belt and attach a button. 12. Iron the finished trousers along the ironed line in the front and back. That's it! Our school suit for a boy is ready!
