Instructions
Step 1
Before you sit down at the sewing machine, you need to make a pattern of trousers. The algorithm for creating patterns is the same as when cutting out trousers for an adult. So start by taking your measurements.
Step 2
Measure your child's waist at the level of the navel, hip circumference, measure the distance from the waistline to the middle of the kneecaps on the side. Determine the length of the pants and the width of the leg at the bottom of the product. For preschoolers, an additional measurement may be needed - chest girth.
Step 3
Build the base mesh for the child's pants pattern. On the grid, reflect the line of the waist, hips, knees and bottom. Determine the line for the height of the seat, which is equal to the half of the hips plus 1-2 cm, depending on the age of the child.
Step 4
Build a pattern for the front half of the trousers based on the baseline mesh. Lay darts along the waistline. Lower the waistline on the right a little, make it higher on the left. Draw the front of the trousers pattern, along the bottom line, it is 4 cm less than the back.
Step 5
Draw the midline of the pants. To do this, draw the bisector of the angle from the waist line to the seat height line. Mark a point on the bisector, draw a curved line through it, connecting the waist line and the extreme point on the line of the height of the seat.
Step 6
Similarly to the front, make a pattern for the back of the trousers. Fill in shallower darts. Draw the middle line of the pants by repeating the operations described in the previous paragraph. Draw the smooth side lines of the leg pattern, draw the bottom line.
Step 7
Make patterns for pockets and a belt. After you have made a pattern of trousers for a child, check that all the values / u200b / u200bare correct. To do this, cut out the patterns, connect them together and measure the main distances. Adjust the trouser pattern to size if necessary.
Step 8
If the process of creating a pattern of trousers for a child seems laborious to you, use a ready-made pattern from a sewing magazine. In addition to patterns in the publication, you will find detailed instructions for sewing trousers, which will help to avoid possible mistakes.
