What to sew this simple tunic from

Thin and soft fabrics are suitable for sewing this tunic. For example, thin linen, staple, cambric, gauze, dress satin, poplin, silk, crepe chiffon and chiffon.

Stretch fabrics such as coolers or other thin knitwear will look good in this product.

Suitable stretch guipure and stretch soft mesh.

When choosing a fabric for this product, you should prefer a double-sided one - in which the face and inside look equally presentable.

Consumption of fabric for sewing a tunic

The fabric consumption depends on the chosen back style and sleeve length. Of course, you can also cut a sleeveless jacket.

The following is an approximate consumption of fabric with a width of 140 - 150 cm.

A tunic with a simple back without a sleeve will need 140 - 160 cm, while with a long sleeve - 180 - 200 cm.

And for a tunic with a cut-off back and without a sleeve, the consumption will increase to 220 - 230 cm, while with a long sleeve - up to 260 - 270. This is with a "skirt" cut along an oblique thread.

The style with a cut-off back and with a “skirt” cut along the transverse, the consumption ranges from 240 - 250 cm. Next, different layouts of fabrics will be considered in more detail.

How to cut a tunic with your own hands according to this pattern

This style, for all its conciseness, has several features that should be understood in order to choose the desired cutting option.

Let's start the consideration, as usual, with seam allowances.

Seam allowances when cutting a tunic

For stable fabrics, allow 1 cm seam allowances at the shoulder, side, center back and "vertical" seams. sleeves.

We do not add allowances for concave and convex cuts, so as not to make them shorter.

On the bottom, add no more than 1 - 1,5 cm for a hem with an open cut, or do not add at all if we are picking or processing with a rolled seam.

When sewing stretch fabrics on an overlocker, no seam allowances are added.

Usually I am asked why the middle seam is needed (Figure 2). It is present in this tunic for several reasons.

The reasons for the "simple" backrest are as follows:

• - The reason is economic - if the back is with a seam, then the consumption will be less.
• - The reason is aesthetic - if the back is made with a seam, then in stable fabrics it will be possible to avoid uneven sagging of the bottom at the back. Please note that the middle seam must be concave, that is, move away from the shared thread.

For a detachable back, a middle seam is only desirable for economic reasons (figures 3 and 4) and if it is needed to simplify the processing of the fastener. Equal is better to have parallel to the middle line.

Layouts of patterns when cutting a tunic

The traditional "jack" (see picture 1 above) is suitable for almost all types of fabrics, but the disadvantage This layout is the presence of side seams that will be visible on the wrong side of the product.

Help to get out of the situation sewing (linen) or double (French) stitches if you are sewing from cotton or silk fabrics.

When cutting a stretch tunic, you can cut the product without a side seam (Figure 2 above). At the same time, it is not necessary to adjust the length of the armhole of the sleeve, since the difference in the lengths of the armhole and the armhole is up to 10 cm, provided that the sleeve is non-stop.

If the backrest is detachable, then only two layout options are possible (Figures 3 and 4).

For silk and cotton fabrics, the layout option with a “oblique” skirt is more suitable (Figure 3), and for stretch fabrics, with a “transverse” skirt (Figure 4).

How to sew a tunic on a pattern with your own hands

As for sewing a tunic, special attention should be paid to the beauty of the processing of the side seams and the middle seam of the back.

Step by step instructions on how to sew for beginners:

1. We process and carefully iron the middle seam and shoulder seams, while in the middle seam we process the fastener of the “spreader” type.
2. We sew the sleeve without using the basting. See sewing video how to sew a sleeve without stitching
3. After ironing, we process the side seams and iron again.
4. It remains to try on, and then process the neck and bottom.
5. The neck can be processed with an oblique inlay - This is the most suitable option for processing products made of thin fabric.
6. Bottom - pick or process with a rolled seam.
