We sew a simple dress without a pattern

This method is very simple and does not require special tailoring skills or theoretical knowledge.

We prepare the necessary materials:

1. Viscose or crushed fabric (for drapery and processing).
2. Elastic thread.
3. Gum.
4. Threads in tone of fabric.
5. Needle.
6. Scissors.

We begin to cut the dress with our own hands without a pattern:

• Choose an arbitrary length and cut out two rectangles of the desired size.
• Stitch the stitches in the chest area and at the top of the back.

Important! If you did not find such a thread, then use the usual linen elastic band - it is as flexible as an elastic thread.

• Place it on the wrong side of the product and sweep it with a special seam so that the elastic is stationary. The decorated side seams, which are now at a distance of about 2 cm from each other, will perfectly hold the dress on the shoulders.
• We process the fabric on the side, tuck and sew the bottom of the dress.

That's all the work! Quickly, efficiently, and most importantly - affordable! Now you know how to sew a dress with your own hands, saving a decent amount of money.

How to sew a holiday dress without a pattern?

If you were invited to an important event or, despite the wide variety of clothes in the closet, you want a new original dress, then this option is for you. How to sew a dress with your own hands quickly and hit everyone on a tumble? Spending an hour, you can replenish your wardrobe with another new thing, hand-sewn.

Let's consider in order how to sew such a dress:

• We pick up a skirt that sits well on you. After attaching it to the fabric, we redraw it, adding allowances at the waist.
• Next, we fold the fabric and cut out two canvases - the front and back shelves.

Important! If you have stretch fabric, then just sew the two parts together. And if the fabric does not stretch at all, then tucks and a sewn-in zipper will be the best option.

• Now we process the bottom and top of the canvas, bending the edges.
• For the top of the product, we need a piece of similar fabric, about 20 cm wide.
• We bend and hem the edges of the fabric.
• We attach what we have to our skirt, leaving an allowance of 2 cm from the central part of the front. So we sew to the skirt the entire upper part of the dress, gradually moving to the back. For beauty, you can make several small folds.
• From the fabric we cut the strap around the neck.To do this, measure the distance from one side of the top of the front of the dress to the other, throwing a centimeter over the neck. The width of the flip strap is your choice.
• After taking the measurements, we tuck a wide strip on both sides and sew to the central part of the front, that is, above the chest, so that a loop forms.

An elegant dress is ready to conquer the world with you!

Important! The dress can be decorated with rhinestones in the chest area and treated with lace or tulle bottom of the product.

How to easily sew a summer dress without a pattern?

Today we will tell you how to sew a light sundress, for the sewing of which you do not need much experience. Not necessarily the presence of theoretical knowledge of the correct cutting technology.

We sew a light summer dress from a piece of fabric with our own hands without a pattern:

1. You choose the length of the entire product yourself, adding 20 cm to trim the top and bottom of the dress.
2. Measure your hips. Divide what you have done in half and transfer to a cloth. As a result, the same rectangles should come out.
3. We cut and bend the rectangles between us, leaving a margin of 15 cm on top.
4. In order to process the armhole, we tuck the edge of the product, then sew.
5. At the top of our sundress will be a drawstring. To do this, bend the upper cut by 2-3 cm and attach it to the front and back of the dress.
6. We tighten the cord into the drawstring so that you can tie it on your shoulders like straps. If desired, the cord can be replaced with ribbons or a decorative chain. For these purposes, you can use the remaining pieces of fabric, pre-processing the edges.
7. At the end of the work, we roll up and flash the bottom of the summer dress.

Important! Such a summer air sundress can be supplemented with a bright belt or ruffles from the same fabric - it all depends on the flight of your imagination.

We sew a bando dress without a pattern

Here is a step-by-step instruction on how to sew a straight dress without a pattern.

What we need for this:

• Two rectangular fabric cuts (diving, silk, velvet, crepe georgette).

Important! The width of the fabric should be equal to the half-circumference of the hips + allowances for fitting + allowances for the seams 1-1.5 cm. The length of the fabric depends on personal preferences.

• Elastic tape 0.5-1 cm wide.
• Rep ribbon for the belt.

We begin to sew a free cut bandeau dress:

1. Stitch side sections with a regular or French seam.
2. We wrap the upper edge of the dress, turn it 1-1.5 cm on the inside and sew it, leaving a hole for the elastic ribbon in the drawstring.
3. We put an elastic tape in free space.
4. Now you need to try on the dress, cut off the excess length of the tape, and then close its ends. The elastic tape can be replaced with rubber veins - a wide rubber belt.
5. Tighten and stitch the bottom of the dress slightly or process it on the overlock.

That's it, the stylish bando dress is done!

Important! Such a dress can be worn with a strap or, as in our case, make a drawstring for an elastic tape at the waist.

How to sew a dress with your own hands using a t-shirt?

A good pattern can hide flaws and make your dress truly unique. For such a dress, you do not need to make tucks, it is very easy to remove and put it on again, in a word - this is a great choice for a beginner seamstress! Now you will learn how to sew a home dress from satin without a pattern.

We take the following materials and tools:

• Satin

Important! Since this is your first dress, we recommend that you dwell on a plain fabric and set aside fabric with horizontal stripes, squares and one that has an upper and lower pattern.

• T-shirt for the template.
• Chalk or soap.
• Scissors.
• Tailor pins.
• Threads for basting.
• Sewing threads to match the product.
• Sewing machine.

Important! Try to choose a fabric of this composition:

• high in cotton - your skin will breathe;
• with the addition of synthetics - thanks to the elastic fibers, the product will not wrinkle, and will stretch well.

So, we begin work:

• Fold the fabric in half along the shared thread.

Important! Before sewing a dress, be sure to walk along the fabric with an iron and steam. So you remove the folds that we do not need at all.

• Next, take a T-shirt that suits you well, circle it with chalk on the fabric. She will be our template in the future.
• Extend the dress to the desired size.

Important! If your hips are not too narrow, add a small increase in the hips.

• Now we cut out the details, leaving allowances for seams of about 1-1.5 cm.
• We make the desired cuts on the details of the front of the dress, forming the depth and shape of the neck.
• We attach the T-shirt to the fabric and, guided by its standards, cut out the sleeves of the future dress.
• Using a ready-made cutout in front of the dress, cut out a stitching with a width of 5-7 cm. We repeat the same steps for the back of the product.
• Customize the front edge and neck of the dress, connect them with pins. In order for the cut line to be beautiful, it is necessary to stretch the sharpening a little while attaching to the fabric.
• Stitch the grind to the neck, keeping a distance of 1 cm from the edge of the cut.
• In the same way we attach a sharpening to a back.
• We pin the shoulder seams with pins, stitch. You can use a zigzag stitch to hide slices.
• Now we combine the shoulder line and the middle of the sleeve of the dress.
• Sew a sleeve to an almost finished dress. We do the same manipulations with the second sleeve. If allowances bother you, you can cut them a little.
• Gently chop off the side seams throughout the dress, trying not to stretch the fabric. If you did everything correctly, then the seams of the sleeves and the bottom of the dress should match.
• We sew all the seams on a sewing machine. If not, then manually, making a machine seam, one stitch after another.
• Now, looking at ourselves in the mirror, we try on the dress, adjust the length of the sleeves and the hem of the dress. All remaining parts are finally flashed.

We got an original dress with our own hands!
