The ability to sew opens up many opportunities for you to realize your creative ideas and fantasies - at any time you can sew an item of clothing that suits you, both in color and style, and in size. Often craftswomen use ready-made patterns to speed up the work, but it so happens that the patterns have to be adjusted in size and shape to best fit the figure. It is very easy to change the size of the pattern.
Instructions
Step 1
Use a ruler to resize the pattern. Use a ruler to set the desired measurements at a 90-degree angle to the equity thread.
Step 2
If you want to shorten or lengthen the overall part of the pattern, for example, to make the skirt pattern longer or shorter without losing the overall shape of the product, then you need to shorten the pattern along the main line of the product.
Step 3
Draw the side lines of the skirt pattern along the ruler, observing the proportions, right on the pattern. Begin to draw a line, stepping back from the waistline 30 cm. When shortening or lengthening the skirt, take into account the hem allowances.
Step 4
Use the T-shaped sheer ruler to shorten any other item, such as a blouse or waistcoat. You can also use a transparent square. Lay the short edge of the square along the longitudinal thread, and mark the long edge with a line to determine the direction of the cross thread.
Step 5
Draw a line to shorten the part. If the bodice is shortened, mark either above or below the bust.
Step 6
Repeat the above steps to lengthen the patterns. Along a line perpendicular to the lobe thread, make an incision to expand the pattern with it. In the resulting space, glue an additional piece of paper patterns - this way, you will lengthen the product.
Step 7
Each specific product has different nuances of changing patterns. For example, if the skirt is too big for your hips, you need to hide the extra fabric in the seams. If you need to increase the size of the sleeves in the shoulder area, open the sleeve pattern vertically and horizontally and sew in additional details.
