Nightgown making. Nightgown patterns for women

01.10.2019

Goals: to form an idea of the relationship between technical and artistic modeling: to learn to modify the pattern of the base of the shoulder garment with a one-piece sleeve in accordance with the selected styles of nightgowns.

DURING THE CLASSES

I. Organization of the lesson

Checking the readiness of students for the lesson.

Communication of the topic and purpose of the lesson.

II. Repetition of the covered material

What kind of work did we do in the last lesson?

Name the main lines in the drawing.

What is the difference between the backrest drawing and the front drawing?

III. Learning new material

Explanation of the teacher.

– Today in the lesson you will consolidate and expand your knowledge of modeling techniques.
- How do you understand what modeling is?
Modeling is the process of creating new models of clothing.

for whom (matching the suit to the internal and external appearance of a person);

what for (suit for a certain setting);

from what (matching the fabric of the selected model and the image of the woman).

This principle is decisive when choosing any type of clothing.

Exercise. Examine the drawings and determine the correspondence of the model and fabric to the person's figure.

Modeling is divided into artistic and technical.
Artistic modeling is carried out by fashion designers. The artist comes up with a model and reflects his idea in a drawing (sketch). A detailed description of the model is given to this sketch (Fig. 1).

Technical modeling is carried out by designers-technologists who develop new styles of clothing according to the drawings of artists. They study the appearance of the model, the properties of the material from which the model will be sewn, then select the main drawing and apply shaped lines on it.
We will perform artistic and technical modeling with you.
In the last lesson, we completed the construction of the basis of the drawing of a shoulder product with a one-piece sleeve. Based on this design, you can create new models of nightgowns (Fig. 2-6).

– What do these models have in common? (One-Piece Sleeve)
- What is the difference? (The shape of the neckline, the length and shape of the bottom of the product, the silhouette)

The main elements of technical modeling:

change in the length of the product (Fig. 3);

changing the shape of the bottom of the product (Fig. 2; Fig. 4);

changing the shape of the neckline (Fig. 3; Fig. 4);

modeling of yokes (fig. 5; 6);

parallel extension method (fig. 5);

conical expansion method (fig. 6).

When modeling, the combination of elements with each other is taken into account, that is, the shape of the neckline, the shape of the bottom of the product, the shape of the collar, pockets, etc.
In order to carry out these models, it is necessary to put shaped lines on the main drawing.

IV. Practical work on the board and in a notebook

Bedding stores offer a wide variety of bedding styles in all colors of the rainbow. Many women consider the most comfortable clothing for sleeping not a drop of "Chanel No. 5", as Marilyn Monroe once joked, but a night dress, that is, a shirt, or a shirt made of soft and cozy fabric.

As you know, there are never too many nightgowns. Warm, light, puritanical and sexy, bought for the occasion, given as a gift from a mom or girlfriend - they all meet, or at least must meet, one general criterion - they must be comfortable.

What is the pattern of a regular nightdress?

A nightgown is a loose dress of a simple style, decorated with lace, braid, ruffles or appliqués. The length can be different - from floor-length products to extremely short mini. If you carefully study the patterns of nightgowns that are found in magazines, you will notice that they do not differ in the complexity of the cut. The main details that make up these wardrobe items are the shelf, back and sleeve.

Try sewing a nightgown with your own hands. The sewing patterns of the most complex models with yokes, polo fasteners, collars, cuffs, various ruffles and flounces do not actually require special skills in modeling, however, the implementation of these details requires a lot of time, a lot of experience and skill.

Model with adjustable straps

A very simple pattern of a nightgown with straps consists of only two details - a shelf and a back. This model has a ton of options. One of the most successful - two trapezoidal panels with drawstrings along the upper edge. A ribbon is threaded through these drawstrings. The photo clearly shows what a nightgown with straps from a long ribbon looks like. The length of such elements is easily adjustable, because they are not sewn, but tied near the shoulder. On the bottom of the product, you can sew flounces, like our models, or lace. If you sew from inelastic fabric - chintz, calico or silk, then choose the appropriate lace. Elastic lace is only suitable for knitted fabrics.

Universal pattern

The simple sleeved nightgown pattern you see above is a one-size-fits-all pattern for all sizes and types of shapes. It consists of two folded parts. One-piece sleeve with straight shoulder line. Nightgown patterns like this are very handy for modeling. On the template, you can draw a yoke of any shape, cut it off, and increase the shelf by 4-6 cm. The yoke, as well as the collar, fastener bar and cuffs, are always made double. In some cases, one of the parts on the inside is additionally duplicated with a thin non-woven gasket. This is done for the reason that the yoke carries a double load - parts of an increased width, that is, heavier ones, are sewn to it. So that the yoke and the connecting seams are not deformed, it is always reinforced.

If you don't want to fiddle with the yoke, but love loose nightwear, then just place the middle line of the front not on the fold of the fabric, but backing off by 2-3 cm.

In the same way, you can increase the width of the sleeve by adding a slouch from under the yoke around the shoulder. You can make a drawstring along the bottom of the sleeve, thread a tape through it and gather it like a flashlight. A puffy sleeve ending in a frill looks very nice. No less beautiful is the loose wide sleeve with lace sewn on the edge. This option works especially well with thin and softly draped cotton or silk fabrics.

Taking measurements

Sewing a nightgown is not difficult, since this thing does not require an exact fit. With a standard physique, it is enough to take only two measurements - the circumference of the chest and the length of the product.

The length of the product is measured along the back from the seventh cervical vertebra to the bottom of the shirt.

The chest circumference is measured with a measuring tape along the most prominent points of the chest and shoulder blades. To build a pattern, you need to divide the size of the chest circumference in half. Let's say the circumference of the chest is 100 cm, which means that half is 50 cm. The width of the shirt is 50 cm, plus an increase in free fitting and on the seams.

An additional measure for improving the pattern on a corpulent figure

The pattern of a nightgown for obese women requires one more measurement - this is the circumference of the sleeve. Measurement is taken with a measuring tape around the widest part of the arm. When measuring, the measuring tape should fit snugly enough to the body, but not pinch it. Our grandmothers' nightgown patterns often contained small rectangular or diamond-shaped pieces. These are gussets. They were sewn under the arm so that the sleeve would not break in this place, because there the fabric experiences the greatest tension and breaks first. The built-in gusset significantly lengthens the life of the shirt. Generally speaking, the gusset under the armpit, even for a slender woman, will serve as a detail that provides additional comfort.

Calculation of the amount of fabric

For sewing a shirt with one-piece sleeves with a fabric width of about one and a half meters, two product lengths are required. If you plan to decorate with frills or ruffles, then when calculating it should be borne in mind: the length of this part should be three times greater than the one on which it is sewn. In addition, allowances for seams and hemming should be added, and also take into account possible shrinkage if the fabric is made of cotton or rayon.

Knitwear or textiles?

Before buying fabric, think about what material you want to sew a nightgown with your own hands. The patterns presented in our article are suitable for all sizes and types of figures, however, the allowances for free fitting depend on the type of material from which the item will be sewn.

Knitted fabrics tend to warp. During use, after several washes, your shirt may stretch a lot in width. Therefore, don't make it too loose and short. As for static cotton fabrics, they are very resistant to stretching, however, the shirt will be unpleasant and tear quickly if it is cut according to a pattern intended for a knitted garment. Therefore, the patterns of nightgowns for women, which can be found in fashion magazines, are always built taking into account this feature of the material. Never use a static woven fabric if the model says it is knit.

When choosing a style, the composition of the fabric is important.

Fabrics made from natural fibers are most suitable for nightwear. Silk, due to the silky structure of the threads, often turns out to be fragile at the seams. Nightgown patterns from this fabric should not be replete with complex set-in elements. It is most correct to opt for one of the models that are described in detail in this article as universal, that is, consisting of one or two parts. The one-piece shirt is in front of you. It is done with only two stitches. The linen seam is the strongest, therefore it is most suitable for sewing the front and back of a nightdress made of slippery silk.

Linen seam technology

This seam is made in the same way as the French one. The two parts are folded with the wrong sides inward, and the front ones - outward, and grind off. The seam is ironed with an iron. This is done so that it stabilizes. After that, the allowance is cut to a width of 3-4 mm. Then the part is laid out on the ironing board with the seam allowance up. Details are located on either side of it. With the help of an iron, the seam is bent and ironed onto one of the parts. After performing this action, fold the part along the seam with the front side inward, and the wrong side outward. Press on the seam. Stitch 5 mm from the edge. Press the seam open.

Linen seam for children's nightgown

This type of seam, made on the front side, was previously used for sewing children's clothing. He does not wear his hair and looks very neat, and his main advantage is that he does not rub the delicate skin of a child. A nightgown for a girl (the pattern is suitable for one with a one-piece sleeve), sewn with a linen seam outside, will be very comfortable, and the original seam will serve as an additional decoration for the shirt.

Instead of hemming along the bottom of the sleeves, you can make pseudo-cuffs and trim them with a piping from a ready-made cotton tape, cut along an oblique thread and ironed along both sides. The hem of the shirt and the neckline can be trimmed with the same tape. A large neckline on a kid's shirt is not a good option. It is better to make it almost under the neck, and to thread the head, leave a straight cut in the middle of the shelf. It should be processed with a bias tape. The same or contrasting tape should be sewn along the neckline, leaving the ends to protrude about 20 cm long. These are strings.

Exclusive flannel item

This fabric is a recognized leader among materials for home wear. Knitwear is currently the most popular fabric, but warm, soft and fluffy flannel has a long way to go to top the list of options for pajamas and nightgowns. Bright colors and a variety of patterns allow you to choose a material for every taste.

When buying fabric, remember: it is most comfortable to sleep in underwear made from natural materials. Follow the recommendations in our article - and your collection of nightwear bought in a specialty store will be replenished with an exclusive nightgown. With your own hands, make the patterns that you saw in our article in reserve, because they are considered the most suitable for making nightwear for both adult women and little girls.

Sewing a nightgown is very pleasant and interesting. Neither the changeable fashion, nor the lack of special education can be an obstacle to the implementation of this venture, because the thing is not intended for prying eyes.

Greetings to all sewing lovers! Nightwear plays an important role in our life. It is very diverse and there are women who prefer beautiful lightweight shirts. Many of them can be sewn by hand. I suggest that you consider modeling the pattern of a nightgown with straps. There are two models, so you will have the opportunity to choose the one you like the most.

In order to start modeling shirts, you need to have the basic basis of a semi-fitted dress according to your size. If your parameters match the standard ones, then you can use ready-made patterns from magazines. Both models are made of lightweight materials, which can serve as: poplin, chintz. If you prefer products made from, then it is also perfect for sewing, which will look even more elegant and chic.

MODEL 1

The nightgown pattern for the first model is done quickly and without much difficulty, but the product looks very cute, thanks to the lace stripes on the sides and bottom of the shirt. See how you need to model a basic pattern. The blue lines show the new contours of the nightgown, along which you will then need to cut the pattern. The bust side dart on the bodice closes to reveal the tucked dart. And on the skirt, tackle darts are not taken into account at all.

It is necessary to give a small increase in the girth of the chest about 6 cm, in the girth of the hips from 8 to 12 cm.If you want the nightgown to be looser along the lower part, you can give an increase and more than 12 cm.But do not forget to take into account the width of the lace, which will be sew along the entire length of the side.

The shirt has a detachable bodice, which is connected to the skirt with a seam, planted on an elastic band. The upper center of the bodice is trimmed with narrower lace, and the bodice milestone is fitted with an elastic band on the back. The length of the straps is specified on the fitting.

MODEL 2

The second model is more complex than the first. It has more auxiliary lines, but the basic pattern is the same. The cut-off bodice is divided into three parts at the front. On the side details of the bodice, the bust darts must be closed. Below the bodice there is an insert made of, with a narrow lace sewn along the bottom. The top of the bodice is finished with the same lace. The skirt on the front also consists of three parts, and on the bottom there are decorative details, in the form of a cut with a bow and original corner inserts in lace stripes.

The back stays the same as the basic pattern, only without the tackle darts. An increase of about 6 cm should be given to the girth of the chest, about 10 cm to the girth of the hips. After cutting the pattern, you will receive such a set of parts. On the top of the bodice on the back, you can sew an elastic tape for convenience.

This is how you can simulate these women's nightgowns. If you have a desire to create them for yourself with your own hands, then these methods of constructing patterns can be useful to you. Nightgowns with straps will be especially relevant on hot summer days. Natural fabrics will help to maintain comfort and convenience during rest.

Models for creating warm and cozy nightgowns differ not only in appearance, but also in the degree of complexity of sewing and design. This article will consider several options for nightgowns that you can make with your own hands, among them there are both very simple and complex. After reading this article, each needlewoman will be able to choose a suitable shirt option for herself, depending on her preferences, as well as the level of skill and experience in sewing.

We sew a simple model of nightgowns with adjustable straps

This nightgown model is probably the simplest one. Its creation does not even require the construction of a pattern from paper - it is enough to draw two identical trapezoids directly on the fabric with an allowance on top to create a drawstring. The two resulting panels are sewn along the side seams, and a tape is inserted into the drawstring from above, which will act as straps. The length of the straps on such a shirt is easy to adjust - after all, they are not sewn, but simply tied with a bow. The bottom of the product can be decorated with lace or flounces - but you should remember the rule: inelastic fabric - inelastic lace and vice versa. Flounces made of stretch fabric will only look good on knitted shirts. This model is very simple to implement, so it can be used as a teaching model in labor lessons for girls. Sewing a nightgown is usually included in the school curriculum for grade 7.

Model with a cutout on the chest:

The shirt model shown in this photo is somewhat more complex in execution than the previous one. However, it cannot be called complicated either, and it is generally very easy to construct a pattern - for this you need to know only two values: the girth of the chest and the length of the product.

First of all, we draw a rectangle ABVG. From point A we put down a segment equal to the length of the nightie and set point G, and to the right we set aside a value equal to the girth of the chest + 2 cm for freedom of fitting and set point B.
From point A to the right, 7 cm is deposited and a mark D is put, and 2 cm is laid down and point D1 is put. Between them, by hand, or with the help of a special template, a line is drawn showing the neck of the back. From point A, 8 cm is laid down and a mark is set D2. The AD2 line shows the head of the front.

To build a sleeve, set aside 10 mi down from point B and put point K. At a distance of 16 cm down from K - point K! From K1, a perpendicular line is drawn to the BV segment. In the place where the two lines intersect, we put the point G. From the point F, 7 cm are laid to the left and downward, designated E and E1. The last points are connected by a line.

From mark B, 7 cm are laid to the right (B1). Labels B1 and E are connected. From B1, 2 cm are laid up (I). From point I to point B, draw a smooth line for the bottom of the product.

Such a model will look even more elegant if you decorate it with lace or sewing, and sew small decorative buttons next to the neckline.

Model with straps according to an individual pattern.

This truly sexy piece will look its best when tailored to your own individual measurements. To do this, you need a basic dress pattern, which you can build yourself or print on one of the specialized sites by entering your parameters in special columns. To design and sew such a shirt, you must have at least basic design and sewing skills.

After the basic pattern is ready, you need to change it according to our instructions. First you need to cut the pattern as shown in the picture below, and at the same time mark a new bottom line.

We finish the yoke by smoothly tracing the top line of the product - in the picture below it is drawn in red. We translate the waist dart into the side seam - as a result, it will turn out to be steeply concave inward. And since the nightgown should be free and not hamper movement, it is necessary to straighten the lower part of the shelf as shown in the picture below:

Having dealt with the description of the modeling of the shelf, we take up the pattern of the back. Mark the cutting line as shown in the figure below with a dotted line. After that, we slightly modify the outlined line in accordance with our model, which is shown by the red line. We remove the dart, of course, draw a new bottom line and again straighten the side seam.

After all the changes made, we get three details:

Thus, we have got an individual pattern of an exquisite nightgown that will fit perfectly on the figure.
