Sewing a new thing in just half an hour is quite real. The main thing is to prepare everything you need and be patient. With a little work, you can flaunt a new knitted tunic or an elegant dress made with the same pattern.
It is necessary
- - knitted fabric 150x90 cm;
- - threads;
- - a needle for working with knitwear;
- - sewing machine;
- - scissors;
- - paper for patterns;
- - pencil and crayon.
Instructions
Step 1
Before starting to work with the fabric, it must be processed with an iron and a steamer, as the knitted fabric shrinks. Steam treatment will help to avoid such a nuisance as changing the size of the product after washing.
Step 2
Now you need to take measurements to make a pattern for the future tunic. Measure the circumference of your hips as well as the circumference of your wrist. Make a pattern.
Step 3
Transfer the pattern to the fabric, after folding the knit in half. Fold in 1 cm each for the seam allowances. The main thing is to correctly indicate the volume of the hips. The length of the finished product directly depends on what you want to end up with - a tunic or a dress. Connect all the important points on the pattern with smooth lines, as in the diagram.
Step 4
After the paper pattern is completely ready, you need to transfer it to the fabric and cut out the tunic. You should have two cuffs and one main piece.
Step 5
Pin the parts or sweep at the seams at the cuffs and the main product.
Step 6
Machine seams using a knit sewing needle. If you decide to sew the product by hand, then try to make the stitches as tight as possible. Pull up the bottom of the garment and the neckline and topstitch them, or sew them by hand.
Step 7
Baste the cuffs to the sleeves of the tunic and sew. Turn out and try on the finished product.
