Bow and belt - free pattern

Vera Olkhovskaya

Sewing dresses with your own hands also involves the manufacture of details such as belts.

But an ordinary straight belt can lubricate the originality of the cut of the dress and vice versa - the original belt will make an ordinary dress an original toilet.

How to process the belt and bow when sewing a dress or blouse

And there are two ways to process such bows and belts.

Method one: a narrow belt-half. You will need one blank, which, after ironing twice, must be turned, then, cut the allowance, twist and iron.

Thus, you will receive a half-belt.

I will share with you a little tailor's trick: so that the narrow belt does not move off the waist, lay 2-3 lines at the waist level with a rubber thread wound on a bobbin.

This simple trick will allow you to fix a narrow belt strictly at the waist.

It is worth noting that such a belt is suitable for almost any dress.

For example, to a simple and elegant floor length dress (see the pattern of this dress)

or to the popular model of the cut-off dress “lady-peasant woman” based on the Sapozhkov cut. Pattern of the dress "young lady-peasant" is also available on the website of Vera Olkhovskaya and is accompanied by detailed video tutorials on cutting and sewing.

With a wide belt, this rubber thread stitching at the waist is also necessary, although it is not a sufficient condition for a perfect look, because it is necessary that the belt does not wrinkle.

How to sew a wide belt for a dress

To sew a wide belt, you need to take two blanks - this is the second processing option.

On one of the blanks, 4-5 strips of regilin are sewn across, equal in length to the width of the belt, excluding seam allowances.

The workpiece with stitched regilin is folded face to face with the second workpiece without “bones”, grinded, cut the allowance, turned inside out and ironed.

As for the bows on the dress, they can be made as narrow “halves” from one blank, or wide from 2 blanks.

Such bows are inserted into the side seams at the waist or slightly higher in dresses, tunics and blouses of a free silhouette.

In addition to the above, according to the same patterns, you can sew a blouse collar that turns into a bow. When processing, it should be noted that such a collar style is not duplicated.

A great example of a product with a bow collar is the New Look shirt dress.

And a little advice: do not save on fabric, because sewing is free for you.
