DIY BASIC SLIP PATTERN-EVEN BIG SIZES

DIY BASIC SLIP PATTERN- EVEN BIG SIZES

Hi, have a happy day!!!!

I try to explain in English.  

As you see it’s not my own language.

I hope to do it fine.  

We use ruler, colour markers, pencil, scissors, measure tape, paper…. 

We use:

·        stretch fabric (with spandex).

·        the paper fold in two.

·        Italian measurements, in cms.

WE DON’T USE EASE SEWING/SEAM.

NOTE: 

THE LEFT VERTICAL LINE INDICATES THE LINE WHERE WE FOLD THE FABRIC SO WE PUT THIS PATTERN LINE OVER THE FABRIC FOLD.

MEASUREMENTS NEEDED

HIP CIRCUMFERENCE:  is when we measure “round” the hip, not tight not loose, and we discount 2 cm (or what we need, see my video where I explain how to do the discount depending the fabric elongation) and divide in 4.

CROTCH LINE: is the measurement from the ¼ hip circumference divided 4.

How we do the discount? 

We stretch the fabric and we measure how much it stretches.

If stretches to 2 cm we discount 10%

If stretches to5 cm we discount 15%.

If stretches more than 5 cm we discount 25%.

Let’s start…..

SLIP FRONT PATTERN

We draw a rectangle with the hip circumference measurement divided 4 – 2 cm. in the horizontals.

Ex.: hip circumference = 100cm divided 4=25 -2= 23cm. This 23cm we use in the horizontals up and down.

In the verticals lines we use crotch line (1/4 hip circumference divided 4)

Ex.: hip circumference = 100cm divided 4=25. This 25cm we use in the verticals left and right.

 

HIP LINE:

Now we draw the hip line (red line). We look for the middle between the horizontals lines and added 1,5cm. We mark in both lines and join them with a line (horizontal red line)…..

CROTCH AREA:

We mark in the hip line and down horizontal line, 7 to 10cm (1/4 hip circumference divided 4), we join both marks (blue horizontal line)…. 

TWEEZER:

we mark 1 cm in the down horizontal line and we draw up 4 to 6 cm in the crotch line, we join both marks and we get the tweezer (diagonal blue line)…..

THIGH/LEG AREA:

from the point that joins the blue vertical line (crotch area) with the hip line, we mark IN DIAGONAL 5 cm (green colour), we join with a soft curve line (green colour) from the horizontal down line to the hip line at right……

STRENGTHENING PIECE:

over the upper horizontal line we mark (to the right) 3cm (1/4 hip circumference divided 4 – 2), we join with the diagonal green  of 5 cm in the thigh/leg.

We trample on this violet draw in paper folded and cut it.

We cut and separate the remains front part, side-slip, and the strengthening-piece (in violet).  

We add 2 cm for hem, to the diagonal-violet-line in both parts, to sew (join) the side-slip with the strengthening-piece (in violet).

SLIP BACK PATTERN

We draw a rectangle with the hip circumference measurement divided 4 – 2 cm. in the horizontals.

Ex.: hip circumference = 100cm divided 4=25 -2= 23cm. This 23cm we use in the horizontals up and down.

In the verticals lines we use crotch line (1/4 hip circumference divided 4)

Ex.: hip circumference = 100cm divided 4=25. This 25cm we use in the verticals left and right.

HIP LINE:

Now we draw the hip line (red line). We look for the middle between the horizontals lines and added 1,5cm. We mark in both lines and join them with a line (horizontal red line)…..

THIGH/LEG AREA:

We mark 7 to 10 cm or ¼ hip circumference divided 4, in the down line from the crotch line at left…

We join up this mark to the hip-line at right, we get a diagonal blue line that is the leg line….

Well, we finish the BASIC SLIP PATTERN for men.

We may use this pattern as a swimming-suit pattern too, sewing the crotch-piece in both sides.

As always we need to practice….

DIY BABY-DOLL TRIANGLE PATTERN-EVEN BIG SIZES

DIY BABY-DOLL TRIANGLE PATTERN-EVEN BIG SIZES

Hi, have a happy day!!!!

I try to explain in English.

As you see it’s not my own language.
I hope to do it fine.

We are going to do a basic and simple baby doll pattern, a triangle baby-doll (even big sizes).

We use ruler, colour markers, pencil, scissors, measure tape, paper….

WE USE ITALIAN MEASUREMENTS, IN CM…..

We use stretch fabric, with spandex.

WE DON’T USE EASE SEWING/SEAM.

MEASURE

RADIUS MAMA (RM): is the measure from down the bust, the "underbust" to the nipple or 10% from the bust circumference. Ex.; bust is 80cm the RM is 8cm

CUP

We draw a square with 2RM….

We cross the square with a diagonal line…

We look for the middle of this diagonal line and mark it….

 

  

We draw out 2 cm more en each corner, up and in the right and down in the left….

 

We join these marks with the corner…..

We mark 5 cm in each line….

We join these marks with the centre mark in the diagonal…

We get tweezers….

  

BABYDOLL SKIRT

We draw a rectangle with the skirt large in the verticals lines and half of the hip measure plus 3 cm in the horizontals lines…..

Ex.: hip circumference is 90 cm divided in half is 45 cm + 3 cm= 48 cm. These 48 cms go in the horizontal lines…

We mark 3 cm in the upper horizontal line, from right to left….

We mark down 6 cm in the right vertical line….

We join both

marks…

 As always we need to practice.....

SLEEVE CAP  DEPTH

We measure 1/10 bust circumference and draw a line (horizontal blue line)

 DIAGONAL GREEN LINE: we measure the front dart PLUS the back dart with the tape “stand up” we DIVIDE in half…..

We use this measurement to join the left angle with the horizontal blue line with the ruler ….. we get the diagonal green line.

  

SLEEVE CAP

We divide this diagonal line in half….

Each half we divide in half too…..

We get 3 marks (brown)….
