Cutting and sewing technique

One of the most common questions from home couturiers who consider their figure to be non-standard:
"Do I make patterns from a photo for an individual order according to the measurements taken by the customer?"

I don’t, because only experienced tailors can accurately take measurements.

But a more weighty argument, a “non-standard” figure, in the vast majority of cases, fits into the standards of my patterns.

Recently, folk style has been quite popular. A worthy place in the wardrobe of this style is occupied by embroidered dresses and blouses.

Consider 4 patterns with examples of sewn dresses and blouses according to these patterns:

Once upon a time, the vest acted as an additional type of clothing that was worn only with a jacket or cardigan. But those days are long gone.
A modern women's vest is an absolutely independent type of fashionable clothing and one of the main components of an autumn or winter look.

Stylish sundresses, including warm ones, this season take their well-deserved place in the fashionable wardrobe of a modern woman.
Such a sundress can be worn to work in the office, and on a visit, and for a walk through the streets of the city in autumn and winter.

Only the first days of October are on the calendar, and the weather outside is not encouraging. Strong wind, often cold rain, overcast and damp. I get depressed in such weather: I don’t want to do anything, I’m not in the mood, longing and despondency. How to dispel such an autumn dull state? I think that a new warm dress should help for both autumn and winter!

We continue to consider the tailoring and processing of garments with a one-piece selection using the example of my ready-made patterns of a mantle jacket, shirt dress and peplum jacket.

And also, watch a short video on the topic of processing a one-piece selection with a zipper when sewing a jacket, sweatshirt, bomber jacket.

The previous lesson, which for beginners tells what a one-piece rebate is, when, where and how it is applied, drawing and processing options see this link...

In this article, look at ready-made patterns of different types of women's clothing in the boho style for sewing with your own hands.

For each of the patterns in the article, you will find detailed step-by-step instructions for beginners on how to sew dresses, skirts, women's trousers, blouses and overalls in the boho style.

On each page with a pattern in this style, see several photos with examples of clothes sewn according to this pattern, a description of a set of patterns and instructions on how to purchase, download and print them on a home printer.

What is the height of the pattern?

This is one of the most frequently asked questions about my patterns.

All models are suitable for sewing dresses and other products for people from 155 to 175 cm, but ... But it is advisable to check the length of each finished pattern and in most cases it will have to be changed, even if your height is about 165 cm.

Yes, before cutting according to my patterns, I also check the length and change it based on my desires and the length that suits my figure and age.

This is probably the easiest and most convenient pocket that you can think of for men's or women's sweatpants, so I once again return to the topic of "barrel cutting" at home.

The proposed technology for sewing sports trousers is "sharpened" to create a heavy-duty and indestructible product, so that men will definitely appreciate your needlework.

In this pocket, I allowed myself to finish the so-called “dovyaz” - knitted fabric “in elastic”, which we so love to use on cuffs and collars in sportswear.

As you can see in photo 1, on my pattern, the front and back halves of the trousers (PP and ZP) are combined along the side seam line. This not only makes it easier for beginner home fashion designers, but also improves the fit of the sweatpants on the figure...

When sewing dresses and blouses with your own hands, you should think not only about the originality of the style, but also about how to process individual components of the product.

In this article, I will talk about several ways to finish the bottom of a sleeve without cuffs and give examples of several ready-made patterns for women's clothing that use this treatment on the bottom sections of the sleeves. Also, you can download for free my ready-made patterns of classic jacket sleeves for tall and short ones.

You should think over the sequence and features of sewing any product after choosing a style, but even before buying a fabric, since the methods of processing various knots will affect allowances and final consumption.

Of course, the easiest way to process the bottom of a sleeve without a cuff is to hem with an open or closed cut, that is, with a single or double hem.

The bottom of the product is processed in the same way.
