How to sew a sundress with your own hands?

The most common female clothing in the summer is undoubtedly a sarafan. This product has a variety of styles, can be of different lengths and is suitable for all women without exception. The main thing - to choose a suitable model, based on the age and characteristics of the complexion. Even small girls with pleasure dress in sundresses, because in them it is not so hot even on the most hot day!

Today, manufacturers offer these products in a fairly large range. For their tailoring used a variety of fabrics, differing not only in color, but also in composition. You can, if you want to buy a product made of natural material and fabric, which is completely made up of synthetic fibers. Perhaps, the last will please you with coloring. However, their purchase is still worth giving up, because in such a model the body will not "breathe", and therefore it will be very hot.

If you want to look fashionable and stylish, you should sew a sundress yourself. To do this, it is enough to recall those sewing skills that are traditionally inculcated in girls at work lessons at school. After all, in these classes have already been told how to sew a sundress with their own hands. Therefore, it is only necessary to recall what was done before (perhaps even repeatedly).

First, go to the nearest store where the cloth is sold. If you do not know which material is to be preferred, contact the seller for assistance. It will be enough for you to say that you decided to sew a sundress so that the consultant offers several suitable options. This is most likely to be 100% linen or cotton, as well as various fabrics based on them. You will only have to choose the right coloring, based on the characteristics of your own appearance.

The amount of material purchased will depend on the length and size of the finished product. Obviously, if you decide to sew a sarafan for a little girl, then most likely you will have half a meter of fabric. Quite often products for children are sewn from various fabrics, which are combined in a special way. For an adult, a woman may need about three meters of material (if the roll is narrow, and one and a half if the cut is wide). Thus it is necessary to be guided by the length and width of the finished product. Obviously, the longer the product will be, the more fabrics will be needed.

One way that allows you to quickly and easily acquire a new thing is to "copy" the pattern from any of the available outfits. To do this, the finished dress is simply put on fabric and its outline is outlined. Then a pattern is made (it is better to leave more allowances, so that you can adjust the degree of fit of the figure's dress). Of course, you can go in a more complicated way. That is, to build a pattern according to all the rules, taking measurements, drawing armholes and darts first on paper, and then transfer everything to the fabric. But here you still need to have a lot of knowledge and skills. Also it is worth to study the magazines, in which basic models and patterns for them (for example, Burda Moden ) are already given. There, among other things, valuable practical advice is given that will help to cope with the task "perfectly."

If you are not a supporter of shapeless or, conversely, tight-fitting body products, you can learn how to sew a sundress on an elastic band. It can be produced in two ways. In the first case, a thin elastic band is used, which is stretched and sewn along the width of the cut material. The distance between the elastic bands should be about 1 cm. In the second case, a string will be required to make a sarafan. However, it should not be excessively tight or, conversely, weak. This can adversely affect the appearance of the finished product. Dressing on an elastic band can be made without any gloves. Such a model looks festive and perfectly suited even for a solemn event (provided, of course, that it is made of silk, organza or other material that looks rather exquisitely).

Thus, with the desire to sew a sarafan, every woman can. The main thing is really to want to become the owner of a unique thing that no one else will have.
