I kept this brilliant trick on the Internet. And I really liked it.
I think everyone has a favorite thing that sits on you perfectly, and comfortable, and you put it on it more often than others, but already trembled or evacted, or something else. And you can't help - it's a pity very. But thanks to this idea, you can make the pattern without breaking the thing and not harming her, and sew yourself exactly the same.
Consider on the example of trousers.
We need a greasy tape or a low stickiness tape, so as not to spoil the pants. Let's start with the front of the pantna. We decide the pants on the table (better than the involving side up, but you can also face), well-spilling, as far as possible.
And begin to stick the ribbon on the seams of the appropriate detail of the trousers.
Where there is bends, it is desirable to tear the ribbon to short pieces and stick them around curved seams. Small pieces facilitate work on the curves. Where there are no curves, you can use longer pieces of tape. Next, gradually we rush all the space of the trousers.
We celebrate pockets, cuffs or other details. Then carefully remove the ribbon as one whole, and transferred to paper or tracing. Add allowances to the seams.
We do the same with the back of the trouser. The back of the trouser is wider than the front, then you will have to fill a ribbon to the front half to stretch it from the seam to the seam, fill in the same way as you did in front.
Next, I also do the best with a belt, coquette and other details.
In the same way, you can make the pattern of any thing, such as blouses.
And here you already have an exact pattern of your favorite thing!
