Instructions
Step 1
Decide what you want to sew. Start by choosing a simple dress, skirt, or shirt. For example, try to sew a fluffy skirt from several layers of veil or a sundress for a girl, it is very easy to sew them, and at the same time they look very impressive.
Step 2
Select material for the model. In order not to be mistaken in the store when buying a cut, consult with the seller about how much fabric you need. For summer dresses, choose light hygroscopic fabrics (cotton, linen, thin knitwear), for a warm dress, choose corduroy or woolen fabric, for a sweater, choose fleece or warm knitwear. If you plan to take material from an old or unwanted item, wash it thoroughly first, make sure that the resulting fabric is sufficient, and rip open all seams.
Step 3
Build patterns. To do this, take a sample, for example, another dress, and carefully transfer all the details to paper. At the same time, adjust the patterns at your discretion, depending on the size of the child - increase the length of the product and sleeves, increase or decrease the width. For the simplest items, like a sundress or a skirt, make a pattern yourself. At the same time, measure the length of the product from the shoulder, the waist and hips of the child, be sure to add allowances for freedom of movement.
Step 4
Think about how the product will be fastened, provide a fastener - a zipper, buttons or buttons.
Step 5
Cut out the patterns, run them to the fabric so that the shared thread is directed along the product, add seam allowances. Make sure you position all the necessary parts in the right quantity and cut out the parts.
Step 6
Sew the parts together, overcast the edges. Baste by hand, then sew on the zipper. For products with buttons, bend the straps, make eyelets. Hem the bottom of the garment and sleeves, process the neckline.
Step 7
Be sure to decorate the clothes made for the girl, even if the child is just running around the house. Sew on ruffles, flowers, brooches, rhinestones, sequins, beads, embroider flowers. Such a dress or skirt will surely become your baby's favorite.
