Blouse shape

Before you cut out our future product, you need to take the following measurements:

• Shoulder width.
• Chest circumference.
• The length of the manufactured product. It, as a rule, needs to be measured from the armpit.
• Waist circumference. This measurement is necessary for the manufacture of a belt part.
• Circumference of the wrist.
• Width and length of the future sleeve.

For making a pattern on which the peasant blouse will be manufactured by hand, it will be necessary to follow the same algorithm:

1. Draw a piece of ¾ width from the chest line girth.
2. From two sides of the segment, hold up two perpendicular lines - the length of the product with the addition of 15-20 cm.
3. From the upper ends of the newly drawn segments, measure 11 cm inside. Draw this segment at an angle of 45 degrees, the approximate length will be 15 cm.
4. From the ends lead up by 10 cm and close the drawing with a horizontal line.

The result is a backrest pattern.

After that it will be necessary to draw a pattern of the sleeve. To do this, also follow the suggested order of actions:

1. To calculate the upper part of the sleeve, you should take the measurement "width between the shoulders" and add to it ¼ of this number. From the amount that has turned out, subtract the sum of the width of the transmission and the width of the backrest. The resulting number is divided by 2. The resulting number is the upper part of the sleeve. Draw this piece on paper.
2. Draw a perpendicular from the end of the line to 10 cm.
3. Next, as in the first case, you need to step back down 11 cm and hold a 15-centimeter cut at an angle of 45 degrees.

Dress manufacturer "Young lady-peasant woman" with a skirt "Sun"

• Calculate the consumption of tissue for hem-sun can be proposed by the method: Width of the waist dividing by 2p( n = 3.14).
• Then add the length of the hem and the allowances to the seams.

Important! The amount of tissue should always be determined correctly. If the skirt is not very long - the width of the canvas should be enough. Well, if you plan a length of midi or maxi, most likely, you will need to cut out two semicircles because the calculated amount of material will greatly exceed the width.

In order to make the dress-peasant woman, you must strictly follow this algorithm. The dress always starts sewing from the bodice:

1. To do this, first process the sleeves, collecting them in the lower part of the elastic band, which will later be in the manufactured cuff-backstage.
2. For such cuffs, you need to prepare a special finish, cutting for this 7-centimeter oblique strips, stitching them in one tape, press along the entire length and fold it in half, and the stitch seams will need to be ironed.
3. Any cut of the tape will need to be swept away, and the other to stitch along the bottom edges of the sleeves.
4. The front and back seams of the sleeves are sewn and swept, forming a pass for the future rubber band.
5. Then, fold the kuliska in two parts along a pressed line and seam the joint with the sleeve along the seam.
6. After that, the bodice is swept along the raglan and side cuts.
7. The wedge at the top of the bodice is sewn in the same way as the kulisks on the sleeves.
8. After full production of the kulisok, rubber bands are inserted.

Important! When the work with the bodice is finished, try it on. Such a procedure is necessary not only to surely adjust the tension of the inserted rubber bands, but also to show for itself the line along which the skirt will be sewn.

As for the skirt:

1. It is chipped together with the bodice by the marks that you just made.
2. Then the skirt is turned back to the front and "put" in the bodice on the front of the bodice.
3. In general, the skirt and bodice are chipped only four times: according to the median notes and seams on the sides, after that two parts are sewn together and poured - you can take a rubber thread.

Important! After that, the almost made dress is again worn on itself, finally level its length and process the edges.

After the girl herself sewed a peasant dress, she should pay attention to small details and add at the end of work to her original product, sewing some decorative elements.
