Good Monday to all our creative community!!! I hope this week has been productive for you and that you are doing well!
Maybe you remember that I had an idea to sew a summer top for the house. I understand that this should not be difficult, but I have never sewed tops. I decided to look for a pattern. I searched through many sites on the Internet and found a few that I liked. I also found a video where a seamstress girl explains how to sew a top and even tells how to make a pattern herself!
It was only necessary to take a suitable large piece of paper, turn on the video and do what she says. But I just didn't have the right paper. I've looked all over my house but haven't found anything. And then my package arrived where the goods were shifted by two pieces of paper. Hooray!!! It was exactly what was needed!
This paper looks terrible, doesn't it? 😁🙈 But I can practice on it. To begin with, I asked my husband to help me make the necessary patterns: waist circumference, chest circumference and back length to the waist. My husband enjoyed doing this 😂 Next, we drew a rectangle according to my measurements taken.
And then I just clearly followed the instructions of the seamstress, completely not understanding what I was doing. I was told: from point 3 we set aside half the circumference of the chest plus 2 cm and put point 4, and I did it 🙈
Then we marked a part on the pattern, as I later understood, for turning.
Something began to appear on my crumpled paper 😁
On the second piece of paper, I also drew some details. Now we need to cut it all out! The main thing is not to make a mistake how exactly to cut off 🙈
Finally, the seamstress showed how to correctly lay out all the details of the pattern on the fabric.
Hurrah! I made my first sewing pattern by myself!!! 💃💃💃 Of course, it would be even better if this pattern were correct 😁 Well, I hope so. You can check this only by trying to sew a top on this pattern. I'll do it as soon as... I muster up the courage 🙈😀
