How to sew a dress yourself quickly and easily: sewing with step-by-step photos

Girls, let's remember the school lessons of cutting and sewing. In the life of the situation there are all kinds of things - it will come in handy. Now we will master the art of how to sew a dress yourself quickly and simply.

Modern magazines and sewing and embroidery sites abound with different patterns, but we will not complicate our lives, because our task should be solved quickly and simply. Therefore, there will be no patterns, and all calculations will be as simple as possible. Attention on the video:

We choose the fabric for the dress

In the cloth stores, the eyes run away from the assortment. Do not panic, choose a dress for the dress easier, for example, knitwear. Drawing or monophonic color, of course, at your discretion.

Going to the store, determine in advance the length of the dress. If the dress is in the floor, buy a piece of cloth about 5 meters long. If you conceived a coquettishly short - about 3.5 meters. It is better to take a little more than necessary. The remaining pieces can always be used for decorating or sewing some accessory( a bag-clutch, a bracelet-rose on the wrist, an ornament in the hair, etc.).The width of the fabric, most likely, will be standard from 120 to 160 cm - this is suitable for us.

Preparation of

We smoothly iron our fabric with an iron, removing all wrinkles so that it is convenient to work with the fabric.

In addition to the fabric, we, of course, will need threads to match the dress, knitting needles, safety pins, scissors, measuring tape, crayons and notepad with a pen for notes.

Removing the

Measurements We are making a dress with our own hands, which means that we need to take the following measurements: the waistline of the waist( waist line) and the length of the skirt of our dress from it. If you plan to wear a dress with heels, consider the same.

Calculations

So, we need to calculate Z, L, R, B, D1 and D2 using the formulas:

Z = ½( OT-8)

L =( OT-8) + Z + 5

R = L / 3,14

B = 2( ОТ / 4 + 6)

D1 = ОТ - 8

D2 = 14 + 2 on the seams

These calculations will be useful to us later.

Cutting: the work of

We fold our fabric in half and draw from the corner( as a compass) a circle with radius R.

Similarly, draw a circle with radius L. from the same angle.

Cut out the skirt of our dress on the lines,on the seams of 1 cm

For cutting dresses, cut out 2 rectangular pieces with a width of B and a length of approximately 200-220 cm.

For cutting the dress belt, cut out a rectangular piece with length D1 and width D2.

Sewing: work progress

Each strap is folded in half, using the English pins, and stitches along the entire length. Further, on one side of each strap, we also sew on the width. Do not forget that the stock on the seams everywhere will be 1 cm.

The belt is also folded in half using English pins, and stitches along the entire length.

Let's start the skirt of our dress. We process all the side cuts and hem skirts.

On the waistline of the skirt measure the length of Z + 4, put a point. From this point we measure ½ DT and put one more point.

Fold inside 4 cm from the processed slice. We put the smell and combine the labels of the smell and side seam. Sew the scent and in front of the skirt at the waist.

We mark on the skirt of the middle in front and behind. Apply the straps overlap by about 4 cm and lay a temporary line by hand. And now we sew all the layers that have been formed.

And now it remains to sew together the lines of basting.

So, our sewing of dresses with our own hands comes to its final stage - fitting. We put on and admire!
