Cut dress "cocoon" with pockets (detailed description of cutting at home)

The style of the cocoon dress is very simple and suitable for those who are just learning to cut and sew.

No seam allowance is required if you are going to sew from stretch with a knit stitch.

Does this dress need a zipper? If the fabric and seams are elastic enough, then no.

Before cutting, check the length. To reduce the length, fold the patterns of the back and the top of the shelf along the waist line and lay in the warehouse, removing the excess length.

Now consider how to cut a dress made of fabric with a width of 140-150 cm (picture 2).

The fabric is folded in half face to face, the edges are aligned and parallel to the edge of the cutting table.

Patterns are stacked in the most economical way. The back - to the edges, and the parts of the shelf to the fold. To determine the exact lengthwise direction of the sleeve, fold the pattern lengthwise, aligning the cuts - the fold line will be the shareline.

Rack, as mentioned earlier - a strip of fabric, a rectangle.

Rack Pattern Width = Double Rack Width Finished + 1cm

With the length of the workpiece, everything is not so simple.

Stand length = product neck length minus 2 cm

In other words, the stand should be cut out after you have processed the shoulder seams and measured the neckline. By the way, if desired, the neck can be slightly expanded and deepened (no more than 1 cm).

Cutting a “cocoon” dress made of fabric 180 cm wide gives an economical opportunity to cut out the back without a middle seam (picture 3).

To do this, cutting is performed in two stages.

First fold the fabric as shown in Fig. 3, along the width of the back and shelves. The face of the fabric should be inside, and the edges should be parallel.

A sleeve should fit between the details of the shelf and back, but we will cut it out later. At the first stage, we cut out only the shelf and back. Fold the fabric between them in half across so as not to cut the sleeve twice. Cut out the sleeves.

We will cut out the rack after processing the shoulder seams.

How to sew a cocoon dress with your own hands at home.

As mentioned above, elastic seams are indispensable. Even if you plan on making a closure at the back, regular straight stitches can burst in the sock, and the look of the product will suffer.

We start sewing by processing the pocket. Aligning the midpoints of the shelf parts, pin them with a pin. It is enough to stitch the seam of the pocket on the overlock with a knitted seam, but such a complex line will be quite difficult to “steer” on the overlock, so you can first stitch the pocket with a narrow zigzag and then overcast. In this case, it is better to make the width of the seam minimal - 0,5 - 0,7 cm.

After sewing the seam of the pocket, carefully iron it down and proceed to sewing the shoulder seams. If the back is with a seam, of course, we start with it. When stitching the shoulder seams, do not forget to put an "edge" under it.

You can get by with a strip of thin stretch or a narrow strip of stretch dublerin. The seams stitched on the overlock are carefully ironed.

Then, we move on to stitching the sleeves. The sleeve in this dress model is non-stop, that is, it does not need to be sewn in - we immediately sew it in! The seam is ironed down.

We measure the resulting length of the neck. It can be increased by cutting "in a circle" 0,5 - 1 cm or left as is.

If necessary, we process the fastener. The simplest option is a "cut" or "drop".

The stand-up collar is cut out based on the length of the neck, as already mentioned. The width of the finished collar can be from 3 to 10 cm, that is, the width of its blank is from 6 to 20 cm.

The cut collar, fold in half lengthwise and iron. If the dress has a fastener, we process the ends separately - we grind and turn it inside out. For wide collars, arbitrary soft folds can be made.

If the dress is without a fastener, we grind the collar into a “ring” with a narrow zigzag, iron the seam. Once again we check whether we can put it on without a fastener.

We sew the finished collar into the neck.

To make our task as easy as possible, we first cut off the collar and neck with pins: first, the middle points, then we divide the halves (without taking into account the position of the shoulder seams) and again we cut off the middle points.

Having chipped the collar and neck, we fasten the ends of the collar and drops with a narrow zigzag, and then we sew the collar completely on the overlock.

A closed collar is easier to sew, but here the requirements for the line itself increase. Modern overlocks can be rebuilt on the so-called "stretch" lines. For a closed collar, one of these is suitable.

Stitching a closed collar should be slightly stretched, and after stitching, carefully iron the seam on the pillow so that the seam does not bulge.

Ironing the seam of the collar is also needed for a collar with a clasp.

The seam allowance, especially if the collar is narrow, it is advisable to hem to the shelf manually or on a typewriter, without tightening the seam.

The bottom of the sleeves and the bottom of the dress can be processed into an open hem - folded once, using a cover stitch, a wide zigzag, a double needle stitch or any elastic decorative stitch.
