How to sew a maternity dress with your own hands? For beginners, patterns

Before starting work, we need to prepare the necessary materials and tools, namely:

• Fabric to choose from.
• Old wallpaper or paper to create a pattern.
• Big scissors.
• Tape measure.
• Pencil.
• Chalk or remnant.

Step-by-step algorithm of actions:

1. We are building a pattern for our dress. Fold the fabric in half and draw a back on the fold. The part that is in front, we do a little more (looser) near the abdomen and under the line of the chest. Raise the waist line above, so that it is an order of magnitude higher than the location of the abdomen, that is, closer to the chest. We create the chest area taking into account our previously measured parameters, making an increase in its future increase.
2. We transfer the pattern to the fabric, outlining the borders with chalk.
3. We put the canvas on a flat surface (table) to begin the process of cutting patterns on the fabric. On all sides (lateral, upper thoracic, back and lower edge) we make an allowance of 2 cm for hem.
4. We cut the front part along the tucks, moving in the direction from the most central part of the chest to the hips.
5. After all of the above sections, we increase the volumes. So, to make the waist wider, we spread this part of the pattern along the cut line between the center of the chest and in the middle of the front part by 3.4 cm. We shift the upper part to the left by 1 cm. Draw new lines of tucks.We retreat down 8 cm from the front central part of the chest, immediately draw a straight line, which will denote our waist. We transfer the inflated line to the back of the product.
6. Cut out all the details.
7. We sew together the upper front part from the bottom, then the upper back part - from the lower back. We make a line at the side seams of the product.
8. We tuck the hem of the dress several times and sew it on a sewing machine.
