How to make patterns?

Before making patterns and sewing a gypsy skirt with your own hands, you need to take measurements - measure the waist, hips and length of the product. Next:

• To build a pattern, you need to calculate the inner radius. For this, the waist girth is divided by 6.28.For example, you have a waist 63 cm. Dividing this figure by 6.28, we get 10 cm. This will be the radius for one skirt-sun. But the style of such a model requires two such "suns", so we divide this radius by another two. The result is 5 cm, which we denote on paper.
• From the inner radius, we plot the length of the product and draw the second radius. We will get either two semicircles or a quarter of the "sun".In this case, when cutting, the fabric will need to be folded in four.
• If the width is 150 cm, then for one specimen we need 9 to 13 meters of fabric. From this fabric, you get two "suns" and will remain on the frill.
• For the belt, a rectangle is made from the main fabric and another one is made of nonwoven fabric.
• The size of the main fabric should be 4 times the length of the thing. And the length of the frill is 2 times larger than the hem of the finished product.
