We all want to have a whole bunch of different thingsclothing options designed for all occasions. Moreover, these outfits should both emphasize all the advantages of the figure, while hiding all its flaws, and express the inner essence of its owner. Oh, how I want it! But our wardrobes, alas, do not always please with an abundance of outfits. In order to replenish them, funds are needed, and even those do not always help to choose exactly the clothes that will be to your taste, and to your figure, and to your soul. However, dreams must be realized, since their impossibility is fraught with dissatisfaction with yourself, the development of all sorts of complexes, deep depression and other unpleasant things. What to do? The solution is quite simple - learn to sew yourself. The main thing is not to think that this is impossible and available only to those who have a natural inclination to sew. Not at all! Learning to sew is not that difficult. If only there was a desire... After all, the art of sewing, if properly mastered, not only gives the seamstress the opportunity to dress well, it also brings in considerable income, because the work of tailors has always been valued quite highly.
With what to begin?
Not a bad option, - magazines with sections"Sewing for Beginners", which already have ready-made clothing patterns. However, it should be taken into account that in the "Sewing for Beginners" sections, the patterns are standard, designed for typical female figures. In reality, women with such figures are rare, and even well-sewn clothes according to magazine patterns may not look good on their owner. Therefore, sewing for dummies can begin with magazine patterns, but for professional sewing you need to learn how to make these patterns yourself.
We make a pattern
You can copy patterns from magazines attransparent tracing paper or transfer it to paper placed underneath them using a special toothed wheel. Before copying a pattern, you need to study all its details well, determine which line and what size determines, find all the control marks and boundaries of the necessary details. The most accurate copying of patterns is obtained on tracing paper. If the pattern is transferred to tracing paper, the tracing paper is placed on a sheet of finished patterns and well secured so that it does not slide on the paper. Then the boundaries of the pattern on the tracing paper are outlined with a felt-tip pen, using a ruler and transferring all the marks to the drawing. After all the details have been copied onto the tracing paper, you need to measure all the sides of the pattern that correspond to each other. Their parameters must match. If they are accurate, the paper pattern is transferred to the fabric, cut out, sewn on a sewing machine and you get a finished item. Pretty simple, isn't it? It is quite possible that you will not have to wear it, but the fact remains: the first step in mastering the art of sewing has been taken.
Sew a skirt
The techniques of clothing modeling are quitevaried, but they are all based on the basic rules for constructing pattern drawings. In order to create a product specifically for yourself, you can start with the most basic. Let's say we select the "Sewing for Beginners, Skirt" section and try to sew the simplest skirt from inexpensive fabric ourselves. To do this, we will need a ruler, tailor's pins, chalk, a tape measure, a meter-long piece of regular elastic and large, very high-quality scissors. On the inserts of women's magazines there are tables that contain the main parameters for taking measurements. Such parameters for a dress are waist circumference, chest circumference, hip circumference, for a skirt - hip circumference and waist circumference. This circumference is measured with a loose fit of a tape measure of the hips or waist. In the process of sewing a skirt, during fittings, it will be possible to increase or decrease its waist circumference. As for the hip circumference, it should be measured taking into account the belly. In any case, the pattern for the skirt is made loose enough and cut out of fabric with an overlap. The silhouette of the skirt is finally determined when sewing it, so the pattern should have the ability to construct the model. In other words, if necessary, the skirt can be enlarged in the hips or waist area. The parts cut out of the fabric must be carefully ironed and carefully swept by hand, taking into account all the darts and folds. After this, it is time for the first fitting. If the skirt fits well, you can proceed to the next stage of sewing, which is done on a sewing machine. Of course, in order to get a perfectly sewn finished product, you need to study many more nuances. However, the main thing, after all, is to learn how to make competent patterns for skirts, trousers, and dresses. A video that clearly demonstrates all the details of this art, which is quite accessible to each of us, is very convenient in comprehending the science of "sewing for beginners". Mastering it only seems very difficult. Once you start doing it, sewing becomes incredibly exciting, opening up endless possibilities for creativity.
