How to sew a coat itself: 2 simple options

Sewing the outer clothing with their own hands would be desirable to many women of fashion. But even a more experienced seamstress does not immediately understand how to sew a coat of a complex cut, observing all the rules and proportions. In any case, even the simplest models can only be sewn by those who have the initial sewing skills. Therefore, it's better to start with making ponchos, capes and other similar models, especially since these silhouettes are so popular recently. At fashion shows, you can find a wide variety of coats - cloaks, with a motley pattern, monochrome, with the addition of leather and fur elements, light and warm, with and without lining. The choice is the biggest.

Coat-Cape

Here is one of the simplest and at the same time interesting and trendy options, how to sew a coat of the "cape" model according to one of the simplest schemes.

First of all, you need to decide on the material. There will be no lining for this model, and you can put on your coat on two sides. For this, a two-sided fabric is selected which does not have a clear direction of the pile.

The less the fabric is wrinkled, the better. The edges of the fabric should not be strongly poured.

We need a cut of such a fabric 2 meters long and 1.5 meters wide.

For finishing will be small pieces of natural or artificial leather in the tone of the fabric, as well as a beautiful decorative clasp.

Now we cut out a rectangle with a length of 170 and a width of 150 cm from the fabric. The rest of the fabric will be required for making the collar and belt.

We fold the cut 4 times.

We get a rectangle with sides of 75 and 85 cm.

Where the side is 75cm, there will be our sleeve and shoulder. The side at 85 cm is the length of the coat itself.

In a corner where there are no free edges and there is a fold of fabric, make a figured cutout for the neck.

Now you need to cut the shelf in half. Pattern of the base is ready.

Next, we process all edges. To do this, we bend them along the entire length so that the width of the fold is 3 cm, and we sweep it.

In order for the corners to look neat, you need to do the following. Each corner is bent in half from the wrong side. Now, from the resulting bend, we lower the perpendicular length of the width of the hem, we spread it out. The resulting corner is cut and twisted.

Carefully iron all the gait through the gauze fabric. We spend it on the typewriter.

Then proceed to the pattern of the collar. To do this, measure the length of the entire neck. For this, the easiest way is to use the tailor's meter. After on the fabric, we designate a rectangle 12 cm wide and the length equal to the measurement obtained. Cut out.

Now add the rectangle in half along the measurement, equal to the length of the collar. The edges are stitched and tied to the neck.

Sew a decorative clasp.

Then we make a belt. To do this, we cut out a strip of cloth with a width of 16 cm and the length required for the length of the belt.

The strip is folded in half, stitched. Then turn and iron.

The last step is fixing the waist at the waist. To do this, on its line, it is necessary to map the lines of a transverse section 9 cm long. We sew up pieces of skin on top of the cross-section line. We sweep them and cut them. In the resulting sections, we insert a belt.

Our coat-cape is ready.

Coat-poncho

Another interesting variant of how to sew a coat is a poncho.

It also starts with the choice of fabric. This model requires a soft fabric, without a clear direction of the pile. Coloring is better to choose a monophonic, a small cell or a symmetrical strip, a small pattern without direction.

We need a piece of cloth in the form of a square with a side length of one and a half meters. Also, you should purchase a wide oblique bake in tone to the color of the fabric 7.5 meters long.

In this version, there is practically no need to think about how to sew a coat. The main thing is to correctly make a pattern.

In the beginning, as with a coat-cape, we fold the fabric into 4 pieces. In the same place, make a cutout for the neck, but at the front on the shelf a cutout is made deeper. We will not have a cut-through. This coat is worn over the head, it is short in length.

Now cut off the edges of the coat so that in the unfolded form we get a circle with a diameter of one and a half meters.

All edges and a neck we process by means of an oblique bake.

These two simple models are the basis for how to sew a coat of the most and ultra-trendy style in a short period of time.
