1. How to sew a beautiful sleeve sleeve in a dress or blouse?
The podkatnik shown in this video is made of a strip of the so-called nylon "mesh". But any tough synthetic fabric will do.
- The mesh strip is folded twice along and ironed in this position ...
- Then soft folds are arbitrarily laid and a machine line fastening them is laid.
- In conclusion, the open cut of the podkatnik should be overcast on the overlock, and the ends of the overlock chain should be hidden with a gypsy needle inside the line.
- On this, the sewing of the podkatnik is over, it remains to sew it into the armhole, in a simple way, to sew it on a typewriter.
- For this purpose put the podkatnik in the armhole from the side of the sleeve, after turning the blouse or dress inside out.
- And we sew from the side of the shelf and back, the product for this operation should also be on the wrong side.
Stitching the podkat, he needs to step back 1 mm towards the already swept cuts of the armhole and sleeve. - The beginning and end of the machine line are fixed in reverse.
Attention! A blouse or dress must be turned inside out so that you can see the stitching of the sleeves into the armhole.
Shoulder pad in blouses or dresses with this sleeve
As you can see on the first photo, a sleeve without a podkatnik looks quite dull.
Don't forget to attach the shoulder pad after you've finished stitching the seat cover.
It's better to do it manually:
- We put in the shoulder pad when the blouse is on the wrong side and, focusing on the stitching line of the podkatnik, we tack it with locking stitches from the side of the shelf and back.
- It is very important at the same time not to press the stitches into the foam rubber - it must maintain splendor.
