Which fabric to choose?

Whip up dress

You can sew a dress of a free cut in just a couple of hours. To do this, you will have to consider the classic and, at the same time, the easiest option, a dress based on a rectangular shape. To do this, prepare two lengths of material.

The progress is very simple:

• Fold the fabric across (along the weft thread) over the entire width, while connecting the slices.
• On the bend of any angle, measure the half-circumference of the hips, add about 7 cm for freedom of fit and about 3 cm for seams.

Important! Do not spare the fabric. The more you leave it, the freer and wider will be your walking or home dress hoodie.

• Cut material that is redundant in a straight line.

Important! The neck will be located on this fold, so it is better to draw tailor chalk or a piece of soap on it.

• Now you need to proceed to the neck. First of all, you should fold the fabric along the thread basis, thereby marking the neckline. It should be borne in mind that the point of intersection of the folds will be the center of the neck, which means that a line is drawn from it - a triangle, a square, an oval.

Important! Remember that the fold that you marked with chalk is the shoulders of the future product, so you need to bend the line 2-3 cm from this mark at the back.

• On the transverse bend from the point that is in the middle, retreat about 6.5 cm, then smoothly draw the desired cutout.
• Cut, while not forgetting to leave 1 cm for stocks.
• Handle the neck of a hoodie dress with your own hands.

Important! There are many ways to handle this item. The main ones are:

1. Fine-tuning.
2. Use of decorative braid.
3. Partial Lining.
4. Slanting inlay.

• Mark the depth of the armhole for the sleeves from the transverse edges (approximately 20-30 cm). Treat sleeves using any of the above methods.
• Fold the product along the transverse fold, stitch the sides.
• Bend the dress.

A simple summer outfit is ready!
