A ski suit should do two things: keep you warm and keep you dry. To make trousers and a jacket that meet these requirements, you need to choose the right fabric.
Instructions
Step 1
For the top of both the jacket and the trousers, choose a membrane fabric. It protects against freezing by keeping out wind and moisture, but at the same time allows moisture to evaporate from the skin. Materials with special impregnation are also called upon to protect you from getting wet. However, they make it difficult for the skin to breathe and can create a greenhouse effect under clothing.
Step 2
For warmth, the suit needs to be supplemented with fleece details. It can be used as a lining to the main suit or separately. The second option is preferable because it will make it easier to wash and dry your clothes.
Step 3
Choose a pattern for sweatpants and hooded jackets online or in fashion magazines. Transfer the same blueprints to the fleece, membrane, and thin lining for the outer jacket. Cut out the suit.
Step 4
Follow the garment assembly sequence. First, sweep and grind the darts and shoulder cuts of the jacket, process the armholes. Sew and iron the bottom. Sew in the zipper, finish and stitch the collar.
Step 5
Sew and stitch in the sleeves. Insert a wide elastic band into the cuffs to keep out the cold wind. Attach a lining to the upper jacket along the armhole and shoulder seams, then hem it with a blind seam along the bottom, sides and neckline.
Step 6
Stitch the hood, iron the seams. Sew it to the neckline. The fleece part of the suit can be left without a hood.
Step 7
On the trousers, first process the darts, then the side seams. Stitch step cuts, tuck and stitch bottom. You can also sew a wide elastic here, otherwise snow can get under the trousers.
Step 8
Tailor the suit to your skiing style. If you like to descend steep mountains at high speed, provide a drawstring in the pattern of the hood for a drawstring along the perimeter of its neckline. The laces are tied to keep the hood under attack from the wind blowing in the face. On the surface of the jacket, wash more pockets with secure locks. To make the waterproof and warm parts of the suit closer to each other, provide them with Velcro fasteners - at any time you can separate the top and lining to wash or dry.
