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….
