Choose a product model based on the age of the child

As everyone knows, young children most of all need free, non-restrictive clothing. For girls under the age of five, they often sew a sundress-trapeze. Its pattern is quite simple - the product expands slightly below, so the front and back patterns are no different. To create such a sundress, special skills and knowledge are not needed, it is only necessary to measure the circumference of the child’s chest and choose the appropriate length.

The older the child becomes, the more difficult it is to sew outfits for him. For example, many people aged 7-10 wear sets consisting of a bolero and a sarafan. Such an outfit looks very beautiful and original, especially if you sew its elements from the same material. In any case, the choice of product model depends on your imagination and the availability of all necessary tools and materials.

4. Draw the middle lines until they intersect with the bottom.
5. We postpone two centimeters from the center of the neck.
6. Add 2 centimeters to the waistline.
7. Make several loops (the first is 2 cm from the neck, the distance between the other loops is at least 6 centimeters).
8. Make tucks until they intersect at the bottom of the product.
9. Make seam allowances (5 cm) below.
10. Patterns for sleeves should match the size of the wrist.

We sew a bilateral sundress for the girl

Sewing a two-sided sundress is not as difficult as it seems. It is very simple to make such a product if you have a bright contrasting fabric of different shades in your arsenal. The main advantage of such a sarafan is considered an unusual combination of colors of the front and back sides.

To get started, you will need:

• Two parts of matter of different colors.
• Threads matching the fabric.
• Patterns, taking into account the size.

We begin to create:

1. We draw a pattern on paper and cut out the elements of the future product.
2. Sew the front and back. Given that the sarafan should be two-sided, you should have four details.
3. Grind the edges of the product so that the threads do not stick out.
4. If desired, you can sew an accessory or pocket.
5. You will get two thin dresses that need to be properly ironed.
6. Fold one dress into another and sew on the sides.
7. Stitch down the neck, openings for the hands with a decorative seam.

Important! Do not forget to make allowances for seams one centimeter.
