Hand-sewn clothes by a diligent craftswoman fit much better than clothes bought in stores. The main thing is to correctly take measurements, according to which the pattern of the product will be drawn.
Instructions
Step 1
To make a blouse, jacket, shirt, take measurements from the upper body. Start at the neck. Take a centimeter and wrap it around your throat. Write the result down on paper.
Step 2
Find out your breast volume. Ask the person to breathe out. Place one end of the tape measure on your spine between your shoulder blades. Pull the second along the top of the chest and connect to the segment on the back. Mark the result in a notebook.
Step 3
Be sure to determine the volume under the breast. This is also done while exhaling.
Step 4
Take a measurement from your waist. Ask the person not to suck in their belly, otherwise the item will sit tight. Measure your torso in two places - clearly along the line of your waist and three centimeters below your navel.
Step 5
Find out the volume of the arms in the biceps and forearm. Freeze the data.
Step 6
Now determine the length of the piece. From the lower cervical vertebra, stretch a centimeter to the tailbone or lower back, depending on what you plan to sew. Measure from the front from the dimple in the neck to mid-thigh or slightly above.
Step 7
If the thing is difficult to make, additionally find out the length from shoulder to waist for both the back and the front. On the overall pattern, mark darts, cuts or inserts.
Step 8
For trousers or skirts, take measurements from your lower body. Start at the waist, knowing its circumference in two places, just as you would when making a blouse.
Step 9
Measure the hips along the buttocks line and above so that the centimeter passes through the tailbone. Then, alternately find the volume of the right and left legs in the upper part of it, above the knee, below the knee and on the ankle. Enter everything in the notebook.
Step 10
Start measuring the length of trousers or skirts from the waist to the point where the product ends. This is done both from the back and from the front.
Step 11
Enter all measurements in the table, having written in advance which parts of the body they refer to. Only after learning all the necessary parameters, start making patterns.
