How to cut...?

The beginning of cutting a women's coat without a collar and a pattern, see. here.

There are two options for cutting the lining used by tailors: according to patterns and according to the product.

Let's start with the first method (Fig. 6, 7).

We start by “subtracting” the width of the facing and selection from the middle patterns of the back and front, and then adding a double allowance in the places of “subtraction” (Fig. 6).

Of course, if your patterns were cut at the waistline, they should be combined.

So, we glue the waist end-to-end with adhesive tape and simply cut off the facing and edge from the patterns of the middle parts of the shelf and back.

Please also note that the sleeve can be cut out by combining the pattern of the lower and upper halves, and add a double hem allowance of 6-7 cm along the bottom of the product.

The remaining allowances are the same as for the details of the "top".

An economical lifestyle, one of the old trends in Europe, is starting to take root in our country. Of course, the "mysterious Slavic soul" resists this to the best of its ability, in particular, when it cuts fashionable dresses.

So how do you save fabric when cutting expensive dresses like New Look and Lolita dresses?

Or what to do if the fabric is not enough?

These questions are never asked, although novice couturiers buy these patterns more readily than others.

By the way, dress patterns in style "new bow" и "Lolita". You can download it almost for free and without registration on Vera Olkhovskaya's website. Size gradation from 42nd to 62nd. Another trend: puffies wear the same as their skinny ones ...

Questions about cutting chiffon are quite common.

Beginning couturiers are probably intimidated by the “delicacy” of this amazing fabric.

Again I share my experience already, attaching a master class on cutting to the words of the video.

New technologies and the victorious advance of the Internet require new approaches in the sewing business.

The exchange and purchase of individual patterns, rather than their collections, is today one of the requirements put forward by the fashion industry at all its levels.

Leading fashion designers of the world release at least 4 collections a year, and paper books and magazines require too long preparation.

This material was prepared in response to numerous requests from members of my group "Cutting, Sewing and Free Patterns", who are interested in skirt patterns.

Photos are also provided by the members of this group.

Sewing clothes always causes a lot of difficulties and questions, especially for beginner couturiers.

Consider very simple models that are easier to cut than a classic straight skirt.

Attention! This model will require professional skills and high fur consumption.

Before buying fur, make patterns with the length of the product you need.

And, if you do not have enough experience in working with fur, make duplicates of paired patterns and be sure to sign the sides of the patterns - “face” and “wrong side”.

In this article, we will look at cutting this model of a faux fur coat.

To begin with, it is not advisable to cut chiffon in a patternless way.

Even when cutting sun skirts»You should make a lunge pattern (see fig.), and mark the bottom line with a thin marker close to the fabric or pattern in color.

I will add that the markup is made with short (0,3 - 0,5 cm) and rare strokes.
