If you want to sew something simple for your childa light dress, but do not know how to do it, then this article is written just for you. The proposed dress model can be created in various versions, because its style allows this. As the main working fabric, we take knitwear or another highly elastic fabric base that lends itself well to draping.The pattern-drawing proposed in this articleis intended for girls of three, four and five years old (for a girl's height from ninety-eight centimeters to one meter twenty-two centimeters). Before you start cutting, be sure to check the correctness of the measurements you have taken and the sizes of the patterns.For those needlewomen who don’t work with it oftenknitted materials, we recommend trying to work with this fabric on a machine. Taking care of their child, mothers most often choose cotton knitwear. Before making a pattern from it, soak it briefly in cool water and then dry it. As a result, the knitwear will shrink slightly, and we will easily cut out the details from it.You can use the suggested pattern formaking a classic dress, a dress with a drawstring and pockets. Despite the fact that the pattern seems simple, in the process of creating such a dress there are a couple of important points, which we will dwell on in detail. Let's get started. How to cut out a dress correctly? We create it by cutting out 2 back elements, 1 front piece, 2 neck facing fragments, 1 front facing element, 2 drawstring elements, 2 pockets, 4 flap fragments. You can make a tie for the drawstring from knitwear or buy a ready-made one. We draw your attention to the fact that the elements of the dress pattern contain allowances of one and a half centimeters, and the armhole and neck cuts have allowances of one centimeter. Before proceeding to sewing the product itself, it is necessary to duplicate the armhole and neck facings, as well as the front parts of the flaps, using adhesive interlining.We plan to do it on the back of the dresszipper, but if desired, you can sew buttons or snaps there. Sewing a dress. Here you choose which option (simple or more complex) you will sew. The back pieces must be stitched to the place where the zipper will be sewn in. The front of the dress needs to be sewn on a "drawstring", pockets and flaps. We pass the tie through the "drawstring" and sew it with a machine seam on the sides. Stitch the seams on the sides and shoulders.The facing elements must be sewn into 1 piece.Next, you need to trim the neck. From the back, you should tuck the facing allowances and attach them to the zipper. The neck can be treated with a finishing stitch, you can also try sewing the seam allowances to the facing. If these options do not suit you, then just iron it and that will be enough. Now let's talk about the difficulties that you may encounter in this process: to connect the armholes and the facing, you will need to fold the edges by hand. In this case, we should baste the armholes and the facing itself to the wrong side. The edges that you folded need to be swept together, and only then lay the finishing lines along them.Next, you need to fold the bottom of the product and lay it alonghim decorative stitches with the help of a machine. For those who still feel unsure about cutting, we suggest not to create a facing. The dress will look good with ordinary folded edges, which you carefully overlock and stitch a seam one - two millimeters from the edge.This way you will significantly speed up the process of sewing this dress, which will turn out no worse than the one sewn using the first method.
