Many girls dream to learn how to sew, but they give up their idea. Unclear calculations, the removal of a huge number of measurements from the figure and long construction patterns are not everyone can.
But there are such models of clothes, the details of which can beDraw directly on the fabric, and for the assembly will need to make a few stitches on the sewing machine. For example, a dress with a sleeve type "bat." This is a very interesting model, the idea of which was borrowed from the Japanese kimono. Widely entered the life of such a cut from the podiums of haute couture in the 70-80s and has since been considered a classic. And this means that it is possible to sew a trend dress without special knowledge and experience of a cutter.
Dresses for a dress
For this model, there are two ways to build parts directly on the fabric. But first you need to understand a few things:
- the pattern of a "bat" dress made of knitted fabrics and swimming fabrics is no different;
- The front shelf and back of the dress are identical;
- details do not have any darts for the chest, since the sleeve model assumes a free fit in the armpit area, where the fabric itself fits into a beautiful drapery.
The first method involves the removal of the following measures:
- chest girth;
- hip girth;
- breast height;
- height from shoulder to waist;
- the length of the sleeve;
- length of the product.
No desire or ability to measure a figure? This is not an excuse to abandon the idea, since you can sew a "bat" dress without measures. This will require an ordinary T-shirt, suitable in size.
Building details by standards
How to build a pattern for a "bat" dress right on the fabric? Stages:
- the canvas is folded four times;
- at the height of the chest from the folded corner, draw a line - this will be the height of the armhole;
- on the received line measure ¼ of the chest girth;
- at a waist height of + 20 cm, draw a line marking ¼ of the hips;
- at the neck from the corner measure the length of the sleeve + 7 cm - this will be the edge of the sleeve;
- outline a neckline with a width of 7 cm, the edge of which is raised by 1.5 cm;
- from the received point, lower the line of the sleeve so that the edge of the cuff is dropped 7 cm from the upper fold;
- connect the points of ¼ of the chest and hips and derive a smooth line of the lower cut of the sleeve so that the cuff has a width of 9 cm.
All the details of cut can be cut and stitched.
Building details using a T-shirt
The variant with a cut on a T-shirt will approach in the event that the product is sewed from jersey. Pattern dress "bat" is constructed as follows:
- the canvas is folded four times;
- T-shirt is folded in half and applied to the decomposed fabric so that the angle of the folded fabric is near the neck;
- T-shirt around the contour and clean;
- Shoulder slice prolonged by the desired amount;
- the lower section of the sleeve is connected by a smooth line to the side cut;
- outline the contour of the throat.
This option can also be used for swimmingcanvas, only in this case it will be necessary to lay the T-shirt not folded into the fold, but by stepping back from the folding of the canvas by 5-6 cm. It will also be necessary to increase the size of the armhole. This is to make the dress not so close to the body, which is very important, because the canvases will look more beautiful with a free silhouette.
Suggestions for sewing
There is one small trick thatUse seamstresses when sewing from jersey. Pattern dress "bat" should be built on the fabric only after the decalting of the canvas. This means that the cut of the fabric must be stretched and ironed. It is best to first test a small cut of 10 by 10 cm and see how it deforms. This will make it possible to avoid shrinkage of the finished product. In addition, it will be possible to determine the necessity of decanting the entire canvas on the test piece, since it is obligatory for natural fibers, and in the case of synthetic fibers, it is not.
It is easiest for beginners to work with jersey.The main thing is to get a knitting needle for the sewing machine and pick up a canvas that will not crumble. How to sew from knitwear? The design of the "bat" dress is immediately built on the canvas, the details are cut out with a small allowance of 0.5-0.7 cm. For such fabrics as diving, lacoste, oil, jersey and velor, it will be enough to have a simple machine stitch.
A little different is the situation with the swimmingtissues. For example, for satin, silk and staple, a zigzag or overlock treatment is required. At the same time allowance for the allowance should be 0.7-1 cm, so that the thin threads of the cloth do not part in the process of wearing.
