Is it possible to sew clothes without grids? Sure!
There are some types of cut for simple and very interesting clothes that any beginner seamstress will easily be aswil. In such a crop, there is no construction of an individual pattern, and you can lure right along the fabric.
In this article we will tell you about one of these products - this is a skirt of tiers. Sometimes it is also called the Gypsy skirt (although she is rather a relative).
Skirt will be performed on the gum, which is especially convenient for those who have the volumes of the figures can change in one way or the other side. And it is also convenient for those who still do not know how to beautifully handle zipper. And in general, the skirt on the rubber band is very convenient.
The length of this skirt can be any, the number of tiers too.
The cloth is better to choose not very dense, without volume. Sliding-blouse fabrics made of cotton, silk, chiffon, thin crepe suitable. Volumetric, dense fabrics for this skirt will not fit, because Start a lot to hang around and the image of the matryoshki will turn out.
First, decide how long your skirt is and what kind of tiers you want to see in it. If you want a long version of the skirts of tiers, for example, 90 cm and the number of tiers 6, then 90: 6 = 15 cm will be the width of each tier. Do not forget to take into account the seam allowances to connect the items.
You will need to add 1-1.5 cm to each side, i.e. 15 + 2 = 17 cm will be the width of the strip. For the upper tier, it will also be necessary for a slurry for a rumor in which a gum is invested.
The gum is better to use wide, it looks better. So add to the upper tier also the width of the rubber band (3-4 cm).
The length of the band is even easier to calculate. For the highest (first) tier, take the girth of the hips (OB) with an increase in freedom 2-4 cm. If your = 100 cm is = 100 cm, then the length of the strip for the upper tier should be 104 cm. For the second length of the upper tier, multiply by 1.5 . Those. The second tier 104 * 1.5 = 156 cm. For the third tier, the second length is also multiplied by 1.5: 156 * 1.5 = 234 cm. etc. For all tiers. If you need a smaller skirt volume, then determining the length of the bands, multiply by 1.4.
So, determined the length of the strips. Sometimes the length of the strip for the lower tier comes to several meters. Our example, the length of the lower 6th tier will be almost 12 meters! Indeed, the Gypsy skirt! Repeat again that if you do not have such a volume, you just reduce the multiplication ratio. But this volume looks just luxurious!
Next, calculate the flow rate is not difficult. Fold the length of all bands (if you sew from one type of fabric) and find out what length is needed for them all. The width of the fabric 140-150 cm. So, the resulting value is separated by 150 cm. So we obtain the number of bands for laying on the fabric. Then you will multiply this value on the width of the strip with letters on the seams (17cm) and find out how many fabric we will need to skirt!
Next, we perform the cutting, measure the band of the desired length for each tier and begin to sew. The upper cut of each band must be assigned to the length of the previous tier. Then alternately sew the stripes, the tier for the tier. In the upper (first) tier perform a stem for gum. Elastic length = waist girth - 10%.
Insert the gum into the scene with the help of the pin, we will treat the bottom of the skirt and here it is beautiful! We wear and go "walking"!
