Every girl, woman always wants to beirresistible, unique, the most beautiful and wear clothes that no one else has. But in the modern world it is very difficult to do. Because all the shops are full of uniform dresses. And for the fair sex, as we know, there is nothing more terrible if she sees someone else in a similar dress.There can be only one way out of this situation.You need to learn how to sew for yourself, with your own hands. Then, for sure, no one will be found in a similar dress, and only you will have it. Many girls are afraid to take on patterns, thinking that it is very, very difficult. However, those who think so are definitely wrong. There is nothing difficult in creating your own wardrobe. Sewing yourself has many advantages: you save yourself from exhausting trips to stores in search of that thing that you do not even imagine yet, you can independently come up with the style of the future masterpiece, choose the material from which the dress will be made, select the color scheme and all sorts of tinsel.
Patterns are divided into simple and complex.It is better for beginners, of course, to start with the simplest ones, and then complicate them each time. Where should you start making a pattern? Of course, the first thing you should do is measure all the parameters (take measurements). It is necessary to take this stage of work very seriously, since the final result depends on it.
You will also need to remember all the drawing lessons in school. Don't be scared. To get started you will need:
- pencil;
- line;
- paper of suitable size (this could be a paper, a wallpaper sheet, and an ordinary tracing paper).
Before you create a pattern, you need todecide on the model and style of the future piece. For beginners, it is better to choose a simple cut (for the first time), and if you are already a master of patterns, then even the most complex pattern will not be difficult for you (for example, a dress with a zipper). And so, you need to take measurements; measure the chest girth - this is the most important measurement, make calculations of the width of the back, armhole and chest. There are special formulas for this: ШС=1/8ОГ+5.5cm; ШПр=1/8ОГ -1.5cm; ШГ=1/4ОГ - 4cm; ГПр = 1/10ОГ +(10.5-12cm). What are these designations? Let's decipher: ШС - back width, ШПр - armhole width, ШГ - chest width, ГПр - armhole depth, OB - chest circumference. After you have drawn the sketch on paper, you will need to cut it out.How to take measurements correctly:
- The height of the future product (from the cervical vertebra to the bottom of the hem of the dress);
- Half chest circumference – (chest circumference divided by 2);
- Bust center measurement - (distance between the peaks of the bust) in your regular bra;
- Back width - (at the level of the middle of the shoulder blades - from hand to hand);
- The length of the back (from the cervical vertebra to the waist);
- Shoulder length - (from the lateral point at the base of the neck - to the shoulder joint);
- Half neck girth – (neck girth divided by 2) the tape passes at the base of the neck without squeezing it;
- Half hip circumference – (hip circumference divided by 2);
- Half waist circumference – (waist circumference divided by 2).
Once the pattern is ready, we transfer it tofabric. It is necessary to outline with chalk or a piece of soap (dry soap), since traces from them will be very easy to erase, and a pen and pencil will leave traces forever. Then carefully cut out and sew.
The end result will please you.After all, wearing a dress sewn by yourself, with your own hands, is an indescribable pleasure, and also pride. Create your masterpieces, embody your ideas, fantasies, places into reality. Because for girls and women, nothing is impossible.
