How to cut and sew a dress, tunic or blouse in one pattern

"I sew myself!" - a statement obliging to make a choice between many options. To make your choice conscious, consider the most obvious of them.

Cutting and sewing shirt dresses

Cutting a shirt dress is not difficult, but before cutting it, you need to make patterns of the length you need.

If desired, you can also make roundings on the bottom on the patterns. If you have not yet decided whether rounding is needed, you can make them on the details of the cut.

Consider thoseNickname for performing rounding according to the template.

Cut out a square from thick paper or cardboard (picture 2), whose side is equal to the height of the cut.

We put the leg of the compass in one of the corners of the square and draw an arc with a radius equal to the height of the cut. We cut the square in an arc and use the resulting figure as a pattern.

On the 2 drawing roundings of various sizes are shown. Last, on figure 2c, made with an indent from the side seam.

Now let's deal with the sides and fasteners. On the figure 2a shows a shelf of a dress-shirt with a "set-in" clasp.

In this case, the semi-skid allowance is not needed and the shelf is laid on the fold of the fabric.

If your dress, tunic or blouse has a one-piece hem (Photo 1 и Photo 3), 5-6 cm should be added to the half-skid. And for the adjustment bar - 2,5-3 cm (Photo 2).

About the rest of the allowances: side-shoulder, vertical sections of the sleeve, bottom - 1 cm, armholes, neckline, sprout, sleeve hem - for the line of the outline of the pattern, collar stitching cut - 1 cm, and along the departure of the collar - 0,7 - 1 cm.

The cuff is rectangular, its width in cutting is 8-10 cm, and the length is equal to the girth of the wrist plus 6 cm.

How to cut a trim bar

As for the setting bar, you should be especially careful when placing it on the fabric, since it is it that is the most prominent part of the product.

In most cases, it should be cut along an oblique thread, and if the fabric is in a cage, on the upper (right for women) bar, the pattern should be the same throughout its entire length.

Of course, that additions in this detail are unacceptable - it must be integral.

From all these rules, it follows that the consumption of fabric for a product with a tuning bar, especially in a cage, may be greater than for the same product with a one-piece selection or a slip fastener.

Keep this in mind when choosing a style variation.

On the 3 drawing shows perhaps the most wasteful layout of a shirt dress. The back and collar patterns are laid to the fold, the tuning bar is along the oblique thread.

The sleeve is shirtless non-stop.

To save in this case (4 drawing), I propose to cut the sleeve, retreating ¼ of its width from the back seam, that is, at the place of the elbow roll.

Cutting the pattern into fragments in this way will save about 20 cm of fabric and make it easier to sleeve slot processing.

It remains to add that the width of the tuning bar is 4,5 - 5 cm, and in finished form - 2,5 - 3.

How to cut a dress with a Tatyanka skirt (Photo 4) and a dress with a sun skirt

Of course, both models have a shirt-cut bodice.

We make patterns for shelves and backs up to the waist line.

Dress with a Tatyanka skirt (picture 5). The pick-up is one-piece.

Sleeve - ¾, while you can use both a sleeve with a fit and a shirt (non-stop) sleeve.

Cuff-lapel - a rectangle cut out along an oblique thread.

Its width in the cut is 8 - 10 cm, the length is equal to the width of the sleeve.

The skirt is a rectangle of fabric.

Open dresses with a skirt "sun" flared (picture 6) differs only in the skirt.

I remind that skirt pattern "sun" flare is in the section "The ABC of the Patternless Cut" and the pattern, in this case, is not the skirt itself, but an oval lunge at the waist.

Sewing such dresses is not difficult, especially if you read the article "How to Sweep a Sleeve".

Pay special attention to the place where the sewing in of the non-stop sleeve is described.
