A vest is a wonderful thing that will find a place in any wardrobe: for women, men or children. If you decide to sew a vest yourself, but do not know how to make a pattern for a future product, then we offer the following algorithm.
Instructions
Step 1
For a pattern, you will need to take the following measurements: hip girth (O) for a lady's vest or chest girth (Og) for a man's or children's product, neck girth (Osh) and product length (Di). The length of the product is, of course, determined by the model.
Step 2
Now take the material on which you will make the pattern: paper, cardboard, or something else. On it, relying on the measurements of Dee and half of the Ob, build the basis of the pattern - a rectangle. Do not forget to add the so-called "freedom allowance" to the half of the hip circumference. It can be different depending on the fabric from which the product is planned to be sewn: from 1cm (thin, light vest) to 6cm (vest made of thick fabric of large size). The result should be the basis of the pattern: a rectangle with sides equal to Di and V / 2 + (1-6). The width of the front and back of the vest on the pattern is the same.
Step 3
Use a bright pencil to line the neckline of the back on the pattern. The width of the neck is equal to one third of Osh (Osh / 3), and the depth is from 0cm (straight line) to 5cm.
Step 4
Now take a pencil of a different color and draw a line for the neck of the front. Its width is equal to the width of the neck of the back, and the depth depends on the model (from 8 cm). The shape (oval, corner, etc.) is also determined by the model.
Step 5
Now you need to draw the line of the armhole. It can coincide with the side line (deflated shoulder) or with the shoulder width (12-13cm), go on the shelf (T-shirt). The bottom of the armhole can be oval or rectangular.
Step 6
If it is planned to sew a zipper into the vest, then its front part is sewn in two parts, that is, the pattern is divided along the middle line. If you need to make a fastener, then add 1, 5 - 2 cm from the middle line.
Step 7
It is important to indicate on the pattern itself the width of the trim (this also applies to the pattern transferred to the fabric) along the neckline, armhole, side, bottom of the product.
