How to sew trousers?
Pants should be comfortable and spacious, so as not to hamper the energetic movements of the teenager. The width of the fabric in 100 or 120 cm will be quite enough for cutting. The silhouette of the trousers is straight, the waist is slightly understated, the belt is not vtachnoy, bent. So, lay out the fabric on the table, measure the length. The folded matter must be about 90 centimeters long. The technique of how to sew trousers, is enough worked out, and in this article we will show its main provisions. First, in the middle of the cut, we draw a vertical line along the entire length. Then we mark the bottom section of the trousers strictly perpendicular to the vertical line. We denote the line of the lower cut by A and draw it, receding 2-3 cm from the lower edge of the matter.
You can mark details with special cut-back chalk with sharp edges. It is even better to draw lines with a piece of soap, which has already become thin from consumption. So, the bottom section of the trousers is marked. Now we'll take two measurements from the future owner of the new pants. The first measure is the length from the floor to the panties (minus 6 centimeters for free fit) on the inside of the foot. And the second measurement, from the floor to the waist, minus 8 cm. Both measures are immediately laid off from the bottom cut, and we draw two horizontal lines. We denote the line from the first measure by B, and the line from the second measure C.
Thinking about how to sew pants, the first thing you need to decide on the seams. Our trousers will be without a side seam, so their width can be determined already at this stage. The optimal width of the bottom of the trousers for such pants is 20-22 cm. If the child wants a little flared pants, you can add up to 24 cm. The markings need to be done by adding 2 cm on each side to the seam. The seams will need to be processed in a zigzag so that the fabric does not crumble. Learning to sew clothes is not so difficult, you just need to.
We plot the horizontal line A on both sides of the central vertical line of 12 cm. From the points obtained, we draw two vertical lines upwards, parallel to the central one, until they intersect with the horizontal lines B and C. The vertical line that is closer to the left edge of the matter is denoted by D , And the opposite - E. Now we have a grid, on which you can finish the detailing of the product. From the point of intersection of the line D with the line B we postpone 6 cm to the left. The resulting point is called G and we connect it by a smooth curve with the line B, stepping upwards by 4 cm. And also smoothly connect the point G with the line B approximately in the region of the knee. The left side of the pattern is ready.
Then we transfer the entire left part of the scheme from the central vertical line to the right, mirror. From the edge of the toe G we add to the right along the line B another 12 cm. Denote this point by G2 and connect it to the point of intersection of the lines C and E by a smooth curve. Similarly, connect the point G2 with the line E in the knee zone. After this, on the contours obtained, we cut out two basic details of the trousers. The question of how to sew pants is practically solved. The fabric lay in two layers, so it turned out two halves of the trousers, left and right. At the next stage you need to sweep the halves or pound all the seams and try on. If the pants sit well, you can scribble, insert a string and bend the girdle.
