Apron on the last call: the white dress to the prom with their own hands

According to many, school uniform distant Soviet times, is hopelessly outdated. However, more and more often in the last call the graduate dress in chocolate-colored dress and a snow-white apron.

How to sew a school apron

Sew his own hands is not difficult. Following the instructions exactly, attention to the removal of yardsticks and cutting process, as well as a great desire to not look like everyone else, to help cope with this task.

Necessary materials

Getting Started. To start need the following.

• Paper, pencil and ruler to make a pattern.
• Centimeter for removal of measures.
• The material of which is made apron (thin cotton or lace, lace, organza etc.).
• Scissors, thread (contrasting color: for basting and sew articles).
• Pins to attach the pattern to the fabric for cutting.
• Sewing machine and the basics of its management.

How to take measurements

It is better if someone from the family will help to remove the necessary measurements as an independent "measurement" can have errors.

As an example, take the classic model.

If desired, it can be the basis to realize any variations and styles.

Let's start with the circumference of the waist. Measurement is determined by the narrowest point on the body. This will be the length of the future belt apron. For the ties need to add another approximately 1 meter.

Further defined hip girth. This dimension of the convex points of the buttocks.

The next indicator - length apron. To do this, from the waist, measure the desired length. Usually, an apron dress is shorter by 2-5 cm. In general, it depends on personal preferences and wishes.

The length of the apron straps measured as follows: from the waist centimeter passed upwardly through the shoulder to the waist at the rear.

To determine the amount of "breasts" is better to cut a paper layout and front of a mirror attach to itself. If visually are satisfied, leave, and if you do not like it, you can experiment a bit with the width and height. The main thing is not "too far" with a width, or straps are constantly falling from the shoulders.

Pattern of the upper parts of the apron

Now you can proceed to the material. Remember the adage about sevenfold dimension? Carefully transfer the patterns on the fabric, make allowances, re-check and then take scissors in hand.

Of course, you can not take much effort finished the pattern from the Internet or an old magazine. Only such schemes are made according to standard measures, but rarely this happens in reality. Therefore preferable to withdraw its measures and build the pattern yourself.

Not to be mistaken with the necessary amount of tissue may first be decomposed parts pattern on a table and about to determine what is required and what is the width of the length.

Typically, the pattern is placed on the folded fabric in half. This allows you to make parts symmetrical and smoother.

Important! Must be allowances for seams. Depending on the texture they are different fabric. On average, if the fabric is not sprinkled, add 1 cm.

Stages sewing apron

So, you can create a masterpiece.

In the first stage treat breast: do hem top and zastrachivaem.

Then combine breast and straps.

Two of the left shoulder straps add up face to face, and between them put the breast. Stitched by.

The same is done with the right shoulder straps. Then, removing, paving the finishing line.

The outer edges are bent inward and also sewed the finishing line.

Making the bottom of the apron begins with processing items bottom.

Then the belt is sewn to the upper part.

It is important to monitor to match the middle parts. Then connects the lower part of the apron and the breast with straps and belt. If desired, one can use the braid, lace or frills. They are sewn to the bottom of the product, to the shoulder strap, making it a little wider at the shoulders, to get the "wings", as well as to the top of the breast.

Lace - airy and light material. One can hardly imagine a more suitable fabric for such a solemn occasion as the last call before graduation ball.

For the apron take about 3 meters of fabric width of 0.6 m and 8 m for the finishing of sewing (width of 4 cm).

First cut out the bottom of the foundation without frills.

Then make straps. In this case, the straps will be sewing.

To make a frill, strap length is multiplied by 1.5. It turns draping the desired volume. Then cut out the breast.

Finally, decide on a belt. It will also be sewing.

As a result, it turns out something like this design before the approach to the sewing machine.

First on overlock sewing sew straps to the frills.

Then, connect the straps to the breast.

Sew a frill to the bottom.

Now we sew belt. For this purpose it is necessary to combine the middle with the middle of the breast and to the middle of the bottom. Baste.

In the process of making the planned blueprint crease on the bottom. Stitch. And then lay decorative stitch.

At the end of the work we sew straps behind. And there is a little trick. It is better if the straps in place securing the belt to be narrow. Then frill looks impressive. If we leave the wide straps, the frill get lapped very rough and ugly.

It is worth noting that there are many interesting options besides the classic style apron. For example, aprons, crocheted. No matter what technique performed work such of the motives or continuous web, such models are obtained very unusual and spectacular.

Last call, like prom night, a very important and touching event. I would like to look decent. And to make an apron for school uniforms with their hands, you can not just look great, but also feel comfortable.
