How to sew a skirt with a slot: processing slots in a straight skirt. Skirt patterns

Vera Olkhovskaya

When learning the technique of cutting and sewing, a straight skirt is recommended as the first piece. And without slots, pencil skirts can only be worn if the skirt is not below the knee, the Sat of the skirt is not less than 56, and the fabric is elastic. There are too many conditions, so I suggest learning how to process the slot.

Before proceeding to the presentation of the essence, let me remind you that the slot can be located both in front and behind in the middle seam, and maybe on the side. The vents can come out of the reliefs, located symmetrically or, if you need to beat the asymmetric cut, then the vent can continue the only relief on the shelf.

The slots in the skirt can be open or in the form of a fold - one-sided folds, counter folds, as well as in the form of a cut in the seam - "spreaders".

In this article, we will look at how to process a “regular” open slot using the example of sewing a straight “denim classic” skirt.

Skirt pattern for an example of processing slots

Pay attention to the fact that the slots in the middle seam of the PP and in the middle seam of the skirt are processed in exactly the same way.

PoetSo, we start by sweeping the sections of the fastener and slots, or, if there is also a fastener in this middle seam, if the fastener is in another seam, then we sweep only the slot (Fig. 1).

We grind the remaining section of the seam, starting and ending the line with a bartack, and iron all the allowances to the right.

If you decide to duplicate the allowances for the fastener and slot, duplicate the lower ones, that is, the allowances of the right shelf completely, and the upper ones, the wrong side of which you can see in strips of 1 cm from the edge.

After that, the middle seam of the PP with all its protrusions and bends can be overcast (a cut of each half separately) and ironed again.

We continue sewing the skirt and when all the seams are processed, we overcast the cut of the bottom and proceed to the processing of the slots (Fig. 1-2).

Now it’s the turn of the corner on the right half, front or back, for its processing we need accurate marking.

Extend the bottom line and the seam allowance line (Fig. 2a - red dotted line). As a result, you will get a rectangle "1". To the right of it, measure the width of the slots again - rectangle "2", and up from it the same width to the hem - rectangle "3".

All rectangles are congruent.

Then, cross out the “two” and “three” strictly diagonally (Fig. 2b - blue dotted line). This is the sewing line.

Cross out the "one" and get a fold line (Fig. 2b - green dotted line). Please note: the seam line and the fold line must pass very precisely diagonally through the corners of these three rectangles.

Fold the corner of the right PP along the resulting fold line and sweep along the stitching line. You can turn it around and check what happened.

After successfully sewing this corner, cut off the excess, straighten the rest of the allowance inside and iron.

There remains a corner of the left half, which, when worn, will be at the bottom (Fig. 2b). It is much easier to process it when the corner of the right half of the slot is ready and ironed. You just have to bend the hem allowance onto the face of the right half and lay a line along the ironing line. Then, the corner is turned out and checked, the excess is cut out. The slot is ironed and fixed. It is better to make two bartacks: the first (Fig. 1) - fastens only allowances from the inside, the second (see photo) - attaches the allowances fastened together to the skirt.

The bottom and allowances of the slots are swept up and hemmed with blind stitches or sewn off with finishing stitches.
