Today, there are a large number of magazines, books and manuals for sewing and sewing on sale. To create beautiful products, you do not need to be a professional clothing designer; you can use one of the many ready-made patterns. But what if the pattern doesn't fit? Do not rush to give up the model you like, here you will find some simple tips on how to increase the pattern.
Instructions
Step 1
The easiest way is to increase the length of the pattern along the bottom line. If the size suits you, but you want to lengthen the product, just add the required number of centimeters along the bottom, continuing the side lines and the lines in the middle of the product. The length of the sleeve can be changed in the same way.
Step 2
If the pattern is not suitable for the height, it must be increased as follows. Cut the details of the pattern along the auxiliary horizontal lines along the waistline and in the middle of the armhole.
Step 3
Increase the length of the back and the length of the front to the required value, vertically moving apart the parts of the pattern. Spread the accessory incisions 0.5 cm at the waist and armhole.
Step 4
Glue the parts of the pattern together by inserting a strip of paper. To align the side lines, make an auxiliary horizontal cut of the back under the armhole line and lengthen it by 0.5 cm.
Step 5
Along the front line, make a horizontal cut through the apex.
Slide the edges of the dart so that the front and back side seams line up.
Step 6
To increase the width of the pattern, it is necessary to cut the pattern along the vertical and horizontal auxiliary lines. It is necessary to move apart the details of the pattern taking into account the dimensional step.
Step 7
From 40 to 52 size, the size step is 4 cm, for sizes 54 - 60 - 6 cm. Divide the size step by 4 and you will get the amount by which you need to move the pattern parts apart to increase it by one size.
