Hi, today I bring you the patterns to make a culotte.
I will draw four sizes in for you,each size is in different colors. The images correspond to size number 3 (95) which is in light blue.
The patterns do not have the seam allowance, so you will have to draw it, it is not difficult, all you have to do is give 1.0 cm to the entire contour (to the reinforcement should also be added 1.0 cm on the sides and 0.5 cm above and below) ..... Having said that ..... let's go to start.....😊
As you can see, these sizes are standard,in addition to being a culotte both sides are the same so only one mold is needed per size next i will put how it looks after you draw and cut it:
Well now you have to cut the fabric, it can be cotton or stretch lace.
How do we cut? easy, we put the fabric with the reverse in sight, folded and flatten the mold on it, as you already drew the 1.0 cm on the mold, it is not necessary to do it on the fabric. In the case of not having made it in the mold, you do it with a mold chalk or a hand soap that is very dry. The molds that I uploaded do not have the 1.0 cm since I do it directly on the fabric.
As I made culottes before this post, I have no fabric to cut, but I will put photos of how to place the mold on the fabric.
Tip: Take into account that the reinforcement must be marked separately from each side, as I am used to folding it and marking it separately, I do not cut it from the paper mold, it can also be from the same fabric (in the case of elastic lace, one has to be elastic lace and the other it has to be cotton)
Have to cut:
1 forward,
1 rear and
2 reinforcements
Once you have all the pieces as in the image (the image corresponds to a panties, but it is the same in a culotte), we begin with the confection.
First you have to join both reinforcements and in the middle goes one of the sides, the front or the rear, in the case of culottes they are the same but in other types of panties, accommodate the reinforcements as it has to be, the rear being wider than The front.
In this image the order is different since the reinforcements are together and the "rear" is below, if they do it like this it is not bad but it would only be with the visible seam.
After sewing it with an overlock you have to put the other side (in the image you can see that the front is placed) So that the seam is not seen, what you have to do is: face the rights of the front and the back, join one of the reinforcements and the other reinforcement will pass over it, leaving "enclosed" to the already cooked side.
It will look like this: I am not a good hand draw but it is understood 😊
Overlok the entire leg to make it more neat
Okay, now ... let's put the elastic on! I wear the bra strap, why? because it is more presentable, because it is cheaper than the elastic for panties and because it gives another type of finish ...
To place the elastic on the legs, first you have to know that the standard measurement is 60 cm, a comma is placed in the middle of this measurement, so that you have 6.0 cm left. This indicates that 60 cm is subtracted 6 cm. Therefore, 54 cm of elastic is needed. in other words, 10% of its measurement is deducted from the total travel of the leg.
It seems difficult but it is not, having already elastic must be sewn stretching it so that it reaches from one end to the other.
I sew it with zig zag for elastic on the family line that I have.
Now we sew one side of the leg and re-measure how much elastic we need for the entire hip line, doing the same as was done to elasticize the legs. Once this is done, we close the other side and that's it! we have an armed culotte
Data, in the case of lace culottes, it is not necessary to put elastic to the legs, as a personal taste I put elastic to the hip line. Then I am going to put images of other culottes that I made and that I uploaded to my instagram
