Features of a do-it-yourself pattern of a straight dress bat swing

Before cutting, we compare the length of the pattern with the desired length of the dress:

1. To do this, we measure the length of the skirt on the side of the figure from the waist down and make the same measurement on the pattern.
2. If necessary, we extend the side and middle seams, as well as the half-skid (the middle line of the shelf) or shorten the pattern.
3. Please note that the length of the skirt should be chosen already taking into account the hem of 1-2 cm, depending on how much you need for processing.
4. Then, measure the length of the sleeve according to the figure. For this model - from the lateral point of the neck to the desired length with the elbow bent.
5. Then, we mark the desired sleeve length on the pattern.
6. If you need a 3/4 sleeve or any other incomplete length, we bend the excess length on the pattern parallel to the bottom of the sleeve.

The sprout (neck of the back) is best processed by turning (picture 2), while the neck of the shelf is easy enough to overcast. We cut out the facing from stretch dublerin without seam allowances. It is better to add seam allowances for the facing later, after gluing to the fabric.

Dress details are cut without seam allowances, as is usually done when cutting stretch products. Do not forget to make notches at the waist along the side seams and a notch separating the shoulder seam of the shelf and the neck. The length of the notch is not more than 0,5 cm.

Please note that with a fabric width of 140 - 150 cm, cutting will have to be done "across".

To do this, fold the fabric in half across, aligning the edges and lay out the patterns with a “jack” - the shelf on the fold, the back with the middle line to the transverse cut (picture 3).

Dress with 3/4 sleeves (picture 4) is cut out as follows:

The fabric is folded in half lengthwise, the edges are aligned.

The shelf and back are stacked with a "jack", but in this case, the half-skid coincides with the shared thread.

The lobar thread of the back runs parallel to the midline.

How to sew this dress step by step for beginners

1. The “bat-swing” dress is sewn on an overlock with a knitted seam.
2. See machine stitches for sewing stretch.
3. First we grind the shoulder, side seams and the middle seam of the back with a knitted seam.
4. We iron the seams. This dress has no fasteners.

6. Then, we overcast the neckline with a knitted or rolled seam, without stretching, and we process the sprout with a facing.
7. The shoulder seams of the facing are fixed on the shoulder seams.
8. The bottom of the sleeves and the bottom of the dress are usually finished with an open cut hem using a topstitch.
