Instructions
Step 1
A tunic for a pregnant woman should be loose-fitting, it is so easy to sew, a novice dressmaker will cope with this work. Take a natural fabric - knitwear, corduroy, jersey, fine wool - with a width of 1, 5 it will take one length, plus the width of the sleeve. Measure your hips and length. Fold the material in half and bend it in half again, the back and shelf are cut out at once. The edges will be the side line, the fold will be the middle. Set aside ¼ of the thighs from the middle if you are sewing from jersey. If the fabric is not stretchable, add 3 cm to this value. Draw a vertical line.
Step 2
Along the upper edge from the midline, set aside 7 cm for the neckline, measure 4 cm down along the edge and draw an oblique line through the points. If the neckline is a boat, then set aside the depth: for the shelf - 8 cm, for the back - 4 cm, options are possible - if you want a round neckline, make the neckline more deep.
Step 3
From the top of the shoulder, set aside the width of the sleeve and connect with a smooth line to the side. Step back 1-1, 5 cm and draw parallels, these will be seam allowances. The pattern is ready, cut out the details according to the allowances. Cut the neckline along the upper line, then cut the desired depth on the shelf separately. The tunic turned out with a short lowered sleeve. If you want long sleeves, cut them out separately and sew to the dropped shoulder.
Step 4
To process the neckline, you will need a facing, it is cut out from the remnants of the fabric along the side. Fold a piece of fabric in half, attach the back to it, circle the neckline and shoulder, step back 6 cm and draw a parallel. Draw the edge of the shelf in the same way, duplicate with non-woven parts and glue them with an iron.
Step 5
Process the cuts on the overlock, stitch the shelf and back, grind the facing details. Iron all seams. Attach piping to neckline, face to face, aligning side seams, pin and stitch. To make the finish fit well, cut the seam allowances to zero around the edge of the neckline. Fold the piping inside out, step back from the edge onto the foot, and sew. Sew it along the side seams.
Step 6
Fold over and stitch the bottom of the tunic and sleeves. The jersey can be sewn with a double needle to get neat and beautiful. The new thing is ready. There are pieces of fabric left - sew on patch pockets. If you want to get a creative thing, sew a fringe to the hem.
