How to sew a summer blouse without a pattern. Beautiful blouse with one-piece sleeves: pattern

02.09.2019

The pattern of a knitted blouse is in front of you. It consists of two parts: back and front. This photo shows the front - it has a deeper neckline.

And in this photo is the back of the product. As you can see, the patterns are pretty short. They display only the upper part of the product: you can cut out the lower straight part yourself, based on the volume of the hips.

The pattern is designed for a height of 170 cm, but you can enlarge it to the desired size and print. In addition, the bottom of the blouse can be made longer or shorter, depending on your taste.

Do-it-yourself knitted blouse - master class:

1. Attach the pattern of one of the pieces to the fabric. In this case, the straight edge of the pattern must be applied to the fold of the fabric. Pins the pattern to secure it in several places.

2. Cut out the part clearly along the contours of the pattern (seam allowances are already taken into account there). Do the same with the second pattern, so that both the front and back of the product are in front of you. As you can see, both fabric parts are quite wide. The thing is that we will tighten them: in front due to curly waves, and back - due to the central seam.

3. Let's start with the front. We bend it vertically in half and make a straight stitch on a typewriter, departing from the fold of 7 mm. The central strip of waves is ready! Now you need to make two side ones. To do this, step back 2 cm to the left from the center seam, make a parallel fold and sew it.

4. Then step back the same amount to the right and sew the third wave line.

5. As you can see, the stitched strips can be folded left or right. This is what we will use to form the wavy pattern. Bend all three lines to the left and sew a horizontal line that would intersect all three lines.

6. Then we retreat down 5 cm, bend the stripes to the other side and also sew. We repeat this trick every 5 cm, bending the fabric in different directions. The upper part of the front is ready!

7. Fold the cut out back in half, with the front side inward. We sew a central vertical line, stepping back from the edge of 2 cm. In the middle of the back, we get such a tube.

8. Clearly cut this tube in the center and lay out the edges of the fabric in different directions. Here you can iron with an iron to help distribute the fabric to the sides.

9. We sew the central part of the back with four vertical seams. Thus, we make a decorative seam and fix the edges of the jersey. The upper back is ready.

10. Fold together in front and back, seamy side out. We sweep the shoulders and sew them on a typewriter.

11. Measure the length of the neck with a centimeter. It turns out about 40 cm. We cut out a strip from jersey for processing the neck 40 cm long and 5 cm wide. Fold the strip in half (lengthwise), and then fold the edges to the center. We iron it with an iron.

12. Trim the edges of the strip to make a donut. Then we place this donut evenly along the entire length of the neck, fixing with pins.

13. We attach the edging on a typewriter.

14. Now you need to attach the bottom of the knitted blouse. Cut out two rectangles, which in the upper side will be equal to the lower edge of the upper part. Well, we make the bottom edge based on our volumes. We attach the bottom part and sew the side seams of the blouse.

15. The armholes of the sleeves are tucked inward twice and also stitched. We also tuck the bottom edge of the product and hem it.

The do-it-yourself jersey blouse with waves is ready! This is a fairly simple product that will not take much of your time!

Hello, my dear blog readers)). I haven't written complicated articles for a long time, and in my opinion - today it is exactly like that. We'll consider construction of a pattern of a blouse, in fact, if you figure it out, then sewing blouses and shirts has a lot of general principles, you just need to understand them one day. And if you build a blouse pattern for yourself once, then you can then slightly adjust it and sew a huge variety of models of blouses, shirts and tunics.

Exactly the same principle was when we built a pattern for the basis of a dress, so that later we could sew for ourselves any model with a perfect fit on your figure.

Today we will consider construction and modeling such a blouse, with a stand-up collar turning into a bow:

This model is built on a pattern without darts, free models, such as men's shirts, etc., are cut out on its basis.

I will now describe step by step the construction of the pattern, your task is to substitute your measurements.

Immediately I give increments that I will add to my measurements, the increments are the same for everyone.

Increases:

PB = 2.5 cm (if we will fill the blouse) and 3.5 cm (if we wear the blouse over the skirt)

Shoulder lengthening = 0.5cm

T 1 T 11 - lowering the waist line in front = 0.5 cm

Product length = to hips

Blouse fabric. How to decide?

Thin cotton, batiste, poplin, chiffon are suitable for this blouse.

Finishing fabric: satin, satin.

Building the base - meshes

The mesh is a designation of the location of the main contour lines in the drawing - the lines of the chest, waist, hips, width of the mesh = the girth of your body (more precisely, the upper body).

For the drawing, we take graph paper. In the upper left corner we put point A.

AT down = Dts + 1 = 38 + 1 = 39
AG down = Vprz + Pspr = 20 + 3 = 23
TB down = DLB = 20
TT ’right = 1.5 (this is a constant value, set aside for the model to fit on the back), draw a straight line through point A and T’. We put points G ', B'.
G'G1 right we postpone the width of the grid = Cr3 + Pg = 45.5 + 5 = 50.5
Г'Г4 to the right - side seam = Г'Г1 divided by 2 = 25.25
Armhole width = 0.25 times (Cr3 + Pg) + 1 = 0.25 times (45.5 + 5) + 1 = 13.6. From the point G4 to the right and to the left, we set aside half the width of the armhole (half of 13.6) = 6.8 cm

Back construction

AA2 to the right = 0.33 times Csh + Pshgs = (0.33 times 18) + 1 = 7
A2A21 down = 0.33 multiplied by AA2 + Pvts = 0.33 multiplied by 7 + 0.2 = 2.53
We put A2 to the right. This is a constant value for everyone. Putting point 9
From point 9, we lay down 2 cm (this is also a constant value). We carry out a shoulder tilt.
A2P1 down the slope to the right = Shp + shoulder lengthening = 13 + 0.5 = 13.5. Point P1 should go beyond the armhole line by at least 0.5 cm. If the shoulder width is small (like mine = 11), then add the missing length to the shoulder width.
We build an armhole: 1) Point P3 = G2P we divide by 3 + 2 cm (constant value) upwards; 2) The bisector from point Г2 = 0.2 multiplied by Г2Г3 + 0.5 cm (constant value) = 0.2 multiplied by 13.6 + 0.5 = 3.2. We draw a line of the armhole of the back through these points.

Front building

T1T11 down = 0.5 cm = B1B11 down
T11A11 up = Dtp - 1 = 44.5 - 1 = 43.5
А11А3 to the left = АА2 (take the distance from the drawing of the back) = 7
А11А4 down = АА2 + 1 = 8
From point A3 to the left 9 cm. From point 9 we lay down 3 cm. Draw a straight line through points A3 and 3 - the slope of the shoulder.
A3P5 is set aside by the slope of the shoulder = A2P1
Armhole in front: 1) Point P4 = draw a perpendicular to a straight line from point G3;) Find point P6. = G3P4 divided by 3. point P6 is at the bottom 1/3 .; 3) Bisector from angle = 0.2 multiplied by Г2Г3 = 3.2 cm

Width along the hips

G'G4 = B'B21 put aside on the horizontal line of the hips
We calculate the lack of width along the thigh line: (Sat + Pb) - G'G1 (mesh width) = (48 + 2.5) - 49 = 1.5 cm - this is a lack of width along the thighs. So the width needs to be added, otherwise the blouse on the hips will be small. We divide this difference by 2 (in my case it is 0.75 cm each) and set aside from points B21 to the right and B2 to the left by 0.75 cm. We put points B "2 and B" 21.
connect point G4 with B "21
then we connect point Г4 with Б "2.
We draw up the bottom line along the back perpendicular to the withdrawal line (AB ')
Align the side cuts of the blouse: G4B "21 = G4B" 2
We draw a bottom line along the front of the blouse, but since point B11 is 0.5 cm below the level, we draw a bottom line under the pattern.

This is the end of the basis for building a blouse. Further we will do modeling of a given model, but other models of blouses can also be built on this basis.
Modeling a blouse
Now we will analyze the main points of changing the drawing in order to get exactly the same model as in the photo.
Stitching placket for buttons
Cut off from the drawing of the product parallel to the center line of the front half of the desired width of the strip. I have the desired plank width of 3 cm.
B11B'11 left = 1.5 cm
draw a vertical through point B'11
put point A41

We draw a bar 3 cm wide and length = B'11A41 next to the drawing
IMPORTANT! if the bar is stitched, then the hinges on it can only be vertical, if the bar is one-piece, then the hinges can also be horizontal

We place the location of the loops on the bar:
The first loop is 1.5 cm below the top cut (this is standard). Then we determine the number of buttons, determine the distance between the loops and mark the upper edges of the loops.
In this case, the distance between the last loop and the bottom line should be greater than the distance between the loops.
Buttonhole length = button diameter +3 mm
Stand-up collar with ties
We mark in the drawing the control point for stitching the collar into the neck: from point A41 we put 2 cm to the left. We set the control point.
To determine the length of the collar, measure the length of the neckline.
Collar length \ u003d (Length of the neck of the back + Length of the neck of the front to the control point + 50 cm for the ties) multiplied by 2 \ u003d (7.8 + 9.5 + 50) multiplied by 2 \ u003d 140
Collar width desired. I took 6 cm.
At the ends, the collar has an extension - 9 cm. We expand the collar to the desired width at the ends.
The collar is a straight strip of fabric cut out along the transverse thread, we do not glue it with doublerin.
GRINDING
We decorate the blouse trim on the front and back details at the neck area. The width of the edging is 4 cm.
Reducing the length of the shoulder
It is necessary to reduce the length of the shoulder along the front and back to the measurement of Шп + 1 cm = minimum lengthening of the shoulder, so that the sleeve visually looks in its place. Cut off the excess to points P3 and P6. In the drawing, this area is shaded on the shoulders.
Layout on fabric:
Flaps pockets
We simulate valves. Front decor.
On the part of the front, we mark the level of grinding of the valve - 4 cm above the level of the armhole. From the point G1, set aside 4 cm upwards and draw a horizontal line.
From the line of the plank on this horizontal, set aside 5 cm to the left. This is the start of the valve.
Valve length 9 cm.
Valve width 5 cm.

Curly corners.
The valve should not reach the armhole line at least 3 cm.
We cut out 4 parts so that the inside of the valve is not visible from the front side, you need to make the inner half of the valve a little smaller. We do this at the expense of allowances. On the outer part of the valve, the allowances are 1.3 cm, and on the inner part - 1 cm, when sewing and turning on the front side, the inner part will not be visible and will be more beautiful.

Features of cutting chiffon

Usually summer blouses are made of chiffon. It is this lightweight and high-quality material that is suitable for creating a blouse.

The most important thing is to consider the principles of working with chiffon:

It is advisable to cut in one layer. If you try to fold a light, sliding fabric, one part may slip and the item will not work.
Set up the machine to work with thin and light materials. Use a sharp, fine needle.
Stitch a small section of the fabric initially. Make sure the quality of the seam being created.
The stitch length should not exceed 2 millimeters.
Choose simple models. Interesting models for beginners are available. If you don't have experience, it is undesirable to strive to create a special chiffon blouse. Remember: you can sew a simple model and look special in it.

Correct cutting of chiffon is one of the main tasks for novice needlewomen.

How to sew a blouse with a batwing sleeve

This blouse is quick and easy to sew, but it is considered fashionable. So how to sew a batwing sleeve blouse:

Initially, you need 2 points of material, the width of which will be 1.5 meters. Be sure to measure your parameters, because you must know what to focus on. Even if you work with the simplest pattern, taking into account the proportions becomes a must.
In the first step, you fold the chiffon face-in and then re-fold it in half.
Make a pattern on the fabric itself. From the fold down, measure 2.5 centimeters, to the side - 9 centimeters. This will be the neck.
From the neck, you should start making a sleeve, and you need to move in a horizontal direction. Then step back down 2.5 centimeters, draw a line from the end of the sleeve to the very top of the blouse.
Divide the waist and hips into 4 parts. Fold the material along the special lines.
Now connect the bottom and the edge of the sleeve with a curved line. Try to cut along the outline.
The front and back of the neck must be different. So, in the front, the neck will be made with a large depression.
Now feel free to sew the details. To cut the neckline obliquely, cut 2 strips of fabric about 2.5 centimeters wide. These strips of fabric should follow the contour of the neckline.
Sew the strips to the neckline. Fold the bottom of the blouse and sleeves in a zigzag line. The sleeves are finished with a lush ruffle or cuffs.

Batwing sleeve blouse

Agree, everything is very simple! Even a novice needlewoman can handle it if she tries.

How to sew a simple blouse

The basic model of a blouse can also be sewn without using patterns. This will take a minimum of time and effort.

It is advisable to use a cloth measuring 60 × 150 centimeters.
Initially, the fabric is folded in half and carefully cut into two neat pieces, one of which will be the front and the other the back.
A neck is made on the shelf. In this case, the fabric cut is folded in half. About 3 centimeters recede from the top fold (they are guided by the desired depth of the neck).
Along the upper edge of the cut towards the fold, lay the width of the neck. This is usually around 15 centimeters. Now a smooth line connects the width and depth of the neck.
Sections of the back and shelves are processed with a frequent zigzag.
The lower part and the neck are processed with a Moscow seam. At the same time, the fabric is gently folded.
Now both parts are sewn together. It is advisable to process the shoulder lines for this.
The product is turned onto the front side and 2 lines are laid on the sides.

Curvy girls should not wear shapeless clothes. A fitted cut of clothing will visually slim the figure. Loose style of things will give comfort when driving.

Today we will tell you what can be sewn for girls who find it very difficult to find clothes.

Simulation of various models

Girls with a non-standard figure must have office blouses in their wardrobe. The practicality of such clothing is known to everyone. Fitted blouses can be combined with any clothing: straight skirt, trousers and jeans.

An example of a blouse pattern can be seen in the photo. The style is a blouse with a yoke, with long sleeves.

The next model is sewn on the basis of a dress pattern for overweight girls. Short sleeve blouse- a great solution for work and everyday meetings. The length of the blouse can be taken at your discretion.

One-piece sleeve reduces blouse sewing time. The sleeves and bottom are hemmed with a closed hem. The neck is processed by turning.

Loose Drawstring Blouse will definitely appeal to those women who prefer a free style. V-neck, beautiful folds of one-cut sleeves will add zest to the image of any girl.

Sexy Cami Top will allow girls to wear their favorite jewelry. To sew such a stunning top, a ready-made sundress pattern will do. The length on the pattern is adjustable to your liking.

The photo shows that the yoke was cut out of a different fabric that matches the color. A two-material combo top will look amazing.

Polka dot tunic blouse cut out in 2 details: backs and shelves with one-piece sleeves. The waist is gathered with an elastic band. The style of the blouse allows you to combine it with narrow trousers.

You can choose any material for all of the listed blouses: silk, chiffon, satin, cotton. The satin blouse is perfect for special occasions and holidays. Silk, chiffon - if the blouse is intended for birthday celebrations, work and study.

Office work involves spending a long time in stuffy offices. Silk and chiffon blouses will be a real lifesaver. Fabrics are breathable and dry quickly.

Tunic blouse pattern

Tunic is a universal model for all women. The style of a blouse with a dropped shoulder, one-piece sleeves and a v-neck - three pluses to sew such a tunic for yourself.

The drawing is done with a ruler and a pencil on paper. The pattern is suitable for beginners in sewing.

The neckline and bottom of the sleeves can be finished with piping or any bias tape. The contrasting bias tape will give the product a beautiful look. This option is suitable if the main fabric is solid or the color of the inlay will overlap with one of the colors on the fabric.

Sewing workshops

Summer beckons with its heat. And in the women's wardrobe, more and more clothes with short sleeves appear.

Cutting does not require great sewing skills. The absence of darts is another opportunity to try yourself in the role of a skilled seamstress. The style of the blouse will visually remove the excess on the figure.

Summer model tank top

Where does the creation of a sleeveless blouse begin? Further detailed instructions:

Create a drawing of the pattern on paper, outline the main outline of the pattern with a bold line and cut it out.
Separately, on paper, redraw the neckline and armholes and make a piping pattern. The width of the edging is 3 cm.

Fold the fabric in half along the shared thread. Pin the pattern of the back and the shelf with pins so that the middle of the fabric coincides with the middle of the shelf and back. Outline the pattern with a simple pencil. Further from the contour, you need to postpone seam allowances. Cut out the cut details.
Cut open the hem on the fabric. If there is not enough material, then the facing is cut out in parts. In this case, all parts must be sewn together.
A zipper needs to be sewn into the middle of the back. In the back detail, make a cut to the length of the zipper (see video). Seam open cuts with a zigzag stitch or a special overcasting stitch.
Baste and sew on the sides of the blouse and shoulders.
Trim the neckline and two armholes.
Hem the bottom of the product

How the zipper is sewn in, see the next video.

"Bat"

Blouse with sleeves - the original style immediately attracts attention.

Before sewing a blouse, you need to prepare a pattern. Cutting takes place taking into account the generally accepted cutting standards. You can read about this in the description of the previous blouse.

Sew the blouse along the shoulder lines.
With a seam in a hem with a closed cut, hem the edge of the sleeves.
Grind the neckline. The V-neck of the blouse should be clear. After the trim is sewn on, cut off the corner in the corner of the cutout (without affecting the machine stitch).
As soon as the piping is sewn to the neckline, it is necessary to make a rolling edging from the inside. In the finished form, the edging looks like this: the joint of the facing seam and the neck should be on the inside. The front side in the cut-out area of the blouse turns out to be beautiful and even.

It's time to sew the sides of the blouse. Align the shelf and back along the side lines. Beginners in sewing are advised to use sewing pins to stab them. Sweep and stitch the sides.
Hem the bottom in any known way.

Straight fit shirt

Part of the business style.

Sew up darts on the shelf and back.
There is a button fastener on the shelf. Finish the edge of the shelf at the fastener with a non-woven hem. The hem is a narrow placket for loops and buttons. It needs to be cut out in 2 details. Border and non-woven fabric must be present. Otherwise, the hinges will be flimsy. The interlining makes the buttonhole and button placket stronger and more durable.

Sew the sides and shoulders.
Sew on the side of the sleeves.
On the edge of the sleeve, make an assembly or pintucks. The collar of the sleeve should match the armhole of the shirt. Pintucks are made evenly from the center of the sleeve ridge. The shoulder seam can serve as a guide.

Sewing a beautiful, fashionable and comfortable blouse is not difficult at all. If you have a sewing machine and a little skill in working on it, you can diversify your wardrobe with ultra-fashionable things that will also be exclusive.

Blouse fabrics

Blouses of a loose silhouette made of flowing fabrics, such as chiffon, look extremely impressive. For a slender woman, simple blouses made of transparent organza-type fabrics are suitable. However, such materials require special processing. At first, an inexperienced dressmaker is better off choosing cheaper fabrics. For summer, cotton, such as gauze, is suitable. It is easy to sew from it, and things look very beautiful and feminine. It is also convenient to learn to sew on linen fabrics. A T-shot blouse pattern with straight cuts along the bottom of the shelves and sleeves can become an element for sewing a stylish set. The product can be decorated with a fringe made of elongated threads, choose jewelry in ethnic style and wear it with jeans, a long skirt or short shorts.

Modeling options

The pattern of a light blouse offered by us in this article can serve as a basis for modeling. You can change the shape of the neckline by making a large triangular neckline on the back, and not a shelf - a boat.

Sleeves can be finished with a wide bell or fluffy frill, or cuffs can be made.

By removing large allowances for a free fit, adding vertical darts and inserting a zipper into the side seam, you can make a blouse of an adjacent silhouette. In this case, it is recommended to choose fabrics with elastane.

The bottom of the shelves can be made multilevel straight or rounded. If the side seam allowances are made by 2 cm, then this will allow you to make beautiful cuts along the bottom of the blouse.

Features of sewing on simplified patterns

Quick sewing blouses for beginner dressmakers are very convenient, as they do not require an exact fit. And this is very important when there is no opportunity to use outside help during the fitting. Famous couturiers do not ignore the simplest patterns of blouses such as those presented in the article. Using these patterns, they focus on the quality, texture and printing of fabrics.

The simplest blouse patterns can consist of just one piece. Take a look at our proposed scheme. Numerous precise measurements are not required to build it. For a standard figure, it is enough to know the circumference of the chest, the length of the product and the length of the sleeve. These measurements are also needed to determine the amount of tissue. Usually, sewing a blouse with a fabric width of 1 m 45 cm requires one blouse length and one sleeve length.

Blouse for any shape

This blouse can be sewn in one evening. It has only two seams. It is put on over the head.

A blouse requires 1.5 m of fabric with a width of 145-155 cm. It can be cotton sateen, silk chiffon or other softly draped material.

You will need a blouse pattern. Here is a pattern made for sizes 38-40. (chest circumference 88-92 cm). The model is supposed to be made of thin fabric, a loose silhouette, with a large allowance for a loose fit.

If your size is larger, then you need to increase the width of the blouse by shortening the sleeve length. For such a simple model, it is not necessary to make a paper template. The blouse pattern presented in this article can be chalked on the wrong side of your fabric. For the most inexperienced, we suggest making a paper pattern. To do this, take a sheet of thick paper 77x82 cm in size. Transfer our scheme to it, make changes, if necessary, and cut out the pattern.

Before opening, the fabric should be rolled, that is, ironed with a hot iron through a damp cloth. This is done so that the material shrinks and does not decrease in size after you sew a product out of it and wash it.

Fold the fabric in half. Connect the upper cut with the lower one. Then fold in half again, joining the edging sides. You should get a square or rectangle with folds on two adjacent sides. Place the pattern against the folds and press down on the paperweight to prevent the fabric and pattern from moving as you draw and cut. The pattern of the blouse is outlined along the contour. Allowances for seams are given along the bottom, side cuts and the neck. Along the neckline - 1 cm, on the side - 1.5 cm, along the bottom and hem of the sleeves - 3 cm each. The cut out piece is a single piece of fabric, similar to a large cross with a round hole in the middle.

Overlock all cuts except the neck. Fold the blouse right side in, level the cuts, baste and stitch the side and sleeve seams with a single stitch. Iron them. Fold the hem allowances on the hem of the sleeves, front and back to the wrong side and baste. Run the stitches, leaving small areas unstitched for the narrow elastic.

The neck must be processed with an oblique inlay so that you get a drawstring for pulling the elastic into it. To do this, measure the length of the neckline of the blouse, stepping back 1 cm from the cut. Cut strips 3 cm wide from the remnants of the fabric along an oblique thread.Connect them into a ribbon and stitch to the cut of the neck, folding with the right sides. Press to wrong side, slightly pulling on the unsewn edge. Overcast this edge with a zigzag or overlock. Baste the binding 1 cm from the edge. Sew in, leaving a small hole for the elastic. If instead of elastic, insert a lace and arrange the ties, then you can adjust the depth of the cut to your liking and mood. A lace or wide ribbon tied with a bow will become a decorative element.

A prerequisite for a good fit on the figure

Blouse patterns for beginners in no way imply carelessness in sewing. All seams must be treated against sagging. Wet heat treatment is required for each seam. It is not difficult and does not require a lot of time and a lot of experience, but it always affects the appearance of the finished product. Wet heat treatment is the first rule of professionals.

What to focus on when buying fabric

And the last recommendation for a novice dressmaker - when buying fabric, you should pay special attention to the harmony of colors. Even if the fabric is very fashionable and expensive, but the color does not match the skin tone of your face, eyes and hair, then the thing will be "lost" and will not bring the expected joy and satisfaction. The fabric should be selected and with a reference to your entire wardrobe. Think about what you will wear your new blouse with. It is suitable for a daily kit or will be focused on special occasions. Go over your skirts, pants, shoes and bags. With such a balanced and thoughtful approach, you will not make mistakes and will get great joy both from the process of creating an outfit and from the compliments that people will undoubtedly give you.
