- Scissors. for cutting are vital large sharp-sharpened, for thread-cutting. small, for fabrics that do not need overstitching. with zigzag blades.
- Sewing needles. must be of different thicknesses, lengths. It is desirable to have a set of spare needles. You need special needles for denim, jersey, microfiber fabric. The thinner the material, the thinner the needle. The smaller the stitch, the shorter the needle.
- Magnetic pad. one side to hold needles, the other to hold slip materials.
- Special tailor’s chalk for making precise marks, which is best done on the back side, otherwise you’ll leave ugly marks.
- Copy paper or a wheel. the outline of the patterns from the paper is easier to transfer to the fabric with such devices.
- Ruler. you will need a soft tape to measure the volume of the body and hard. to measure short sections.
- Thimble pin. to protect your fingers when sewing on buttons or other decorative objects.

Tips for choosing fabric
There is nothing easier than to make a piece of clothing for women without using thread and needle, as well as sewing equipment. Knowing how to wrap the fabric and fix it on the body is not difficult, but in order to ensure the right fit and drapeability, you should choose the right fabric. It should be soft, pliable, flowing, stretchy.
They will flow and flow down, creating graceful cascades with lots of volume and layering. Do not forget that the edges of the product can crumble, so you need to buy a material that does not require machining the seams. Otherwise, you will still have to do some sewing to eliminate shrinkage.
Pants and leggings
For these clothes, it is worth choosing a few items of clothing at your discretion, which will fit the texture, size and quality of the material. Made of pieces of fabric:
- Make a pattern if you do not have a pattern. Two one-piece fabrics (back and front) are cut to the length and waist circumference. Sewed on the side and inside by hand. If necessary, an elastic band is added to the waistband and both pant legs are hemmed.
- It is possible to make for a doll of trousers in the oriental style, then in each pant leg is made out with a rubber band. Complement as desired belt of tape or ribbon, sew buttons or buckle from an old strap.
- For a small doll it is easy to make fashionable leggings, stylish close-fitting or flared pants from knitted socks or socks. The main condition: elasticity of the textile and elasticity. Find the width according to the volume of the hips, cut in the middle, measure the length of the legs. Sew these pieces together to obtain two pant legs. Such fabric does not require additional treatment of seams.
- For a larger doll, you can use two of the same stocking or sock. you get two full-fledged pant legs. Make cuts on each one on the inside. Sew, then decorate as desired.
- For a small, miniature doll, cut off the fingers from the gloves or mittens and make similar to the previous version of an upgrade.
You can sew doll clothes without the help of a sewing machine, minimizing the number of seams, using simple available patterns or stretchy fabrics. It is necessary to sew together by hand (no desire and time. glue) strips of braid, ribbon or lace and already from the finished part to form clothing or individual elements.

Sew the thing with an assembly on the rubber band and a few ways
A topical question, especially for the beginner in sewing. After all, you want the thing to look like sewn by a pro, and not an obvious handiwork.
An elastic gathering performs several functions:
- decorative embellishes the product;
- The design cleverly replaces the design lines and darts on the drawing;
- technological gives the necessary freedom to wear and replaces the clasp.
Note that the normal assembly is not stretchy, performs a similar function, but does not replace the buckle. In this case, you need to provide it.
That is why elastic gathers are so handy and beloved by beginner tailors. minimum effort = beautiful result.
It is possible to achieve the desired silhouette, without building a complicated pattern and making do with a simple treatment.
It is important to know the nuances of sewing garments with elastic assembly and to improve your skills. Even in simple, at first sight, things
The elastic gathering can be done in several ways:
- Fixing a thin elastic (round) rubber band with a zigzag stitch right over the rubber band;
- laying and stretching an ordinary thin linen rubber band over the markings and securing with stitching (zigzag or elastic);
- By threading an elastic gum thread into the sewing machine bobbin and sewing a straight stitch.
Assembling on a thin elastic band secured with a zigzag stitch
You can use a thread-rubber or a thin hat gum.
The stitch is sewn on the wrong side of the fabric!
In this case you need to: Make a marking assembly;
- Adjust the zigzag stitch to have a step width slightly wider than the elastic. IMPORTANT ! The rubber band should not get under the needle pricks, otherwise there will not be the necessary elasticity of the seam. And the elastic band can just burst.
- Put the rubber band at the beginning of the seam, fix it with a few stitches;
- The rubber band lies freely on the marking, zigzag stitch is laid on top; At the end of the stitching is not fixed, there is a small section, which is then pulled down (the process of execution is the same as in the usual assembly of the threads).Useful option when you are not sure of the accuracy of measurements and do the assembly for the first time. Manually adjusting the density of the gathering, you can specify the degree of freedom of the garment.
- When making a zigzag stitch the elastic is pulled up slightly, immediately creating an assembly.
In my opinion, it is easier. But if you are not sure of the measurements and calculations, you can make a mistake in the degree of freedom.
In any case, I recommend all methods first try on a sample, and then choose the most accessible.
Sewing on the elastic
The stitch is sewn on the wrong side of the fabric!
The method echoes the first, but there are differences.
- Rubber band take the usual linen, but a narrow width of about 0.3 0.5 cm;
- Adjust the sewing machine zigzag stitch or a special elastic stitch (if available) of width equal to the width of the rubber band or slightly wider;
- Lay the elastic band over the markings, fix it with a few stitches;
- Stitch over the rubber band, stretching it;
Great for heavy fabrics, where no other stitching possibilities exist, and for reinforcing a seam. Say the entire assembly is made on the thread-rubber, and the top cut is reinforced with a thick linen rubber band for fixation.
Assembling on an elastic gum string
Stitching is sewn on the front side of the fabric!
- The elastic-rubber thread is wound onto the bobbin;
- The upper thread is set to the usual tone of fabric;
- The usual straight stitch is set up;
Important! The tension of the upper thread is slightly reduced.
The method, in my opinion, is modern and the least labor/time-consuming.
There are nuances to consider, such as the correct winding of the thread on the bobbin; threading the bobbin thread; the compression ratio (see. below) and t.д.
Learn to Hand Sew! Three Stitches You Can’t Sew Without
But once you have mastered the method of gathering on an elastic thread-rubber, and using a special foot for gathering, about other ways you do not want to remember, I tested.
When making an assembly, it is a good idea to consider the compression factor. It is determined by experimenting with a sample, calculate the degree of compression of the fabric and according to the calculation make an assembly.
How to do it and avoid mistakes I am telling and showing in detail in the book “Assembling on the elastic thread-rubber”.
It, along with a video on the use of the foot for gathers, attached as a bonus to the master class on sewing a tiered skirt.
All three methods are good and can easily be used when sewing things with elastic gathers.
Such garments are characterized by a simple cut and sewing, but spectacular appearance and wearing comfort.
I recommend trying all the ways and learning how to sew things with an elastic-stitching gathering. I am sure you will like the result.
Next time, I will tell you how to sew a simple in the cut and sewing, but beautiful skirt with an elastic gathering. Especially for beginners! Don’t miss.

One Seam Dress
A one-stitch dress can be made from a 150 x 250 cm piece of fabric. You will also need two decorative pins or brooches. It’s perfect for a full figure. Measure your waist in advance:
-
Cut a square (150cm x 150cm) and a rectangle (150cm x 70cm).
It’s even hard to call this a pattern. it doesn’t require any special construction or measurements
By folding the fabric twice, you can easily find the center
This piece of fabric will later become a skirt
It will resemble the pattern of a half-length skirt
This fishing line will then be attached to the waist of the skirt
This procedure requires a bit of skill. don’t worry if it doesn’t come out right the first time
Instead of a decorative pin, you can also simply sew two pieces of fabric, but then this dress will no longer be with one seam, but with three
Loose cut dress
We suggest you to sew a free style easy cut dress with your own hands without pattern. It will take a little time to sew, absolutely no need to know how to build and design complex patterns.
- product length (DI);
- the length of the front to the waist (DPT);
- Chest circumference (BC) and hip circumference (HU). We will use the larger of these values when marking.
In our master class, the construction is made for the case when the OB is larger than the OT.
Cut two rectangular pieces of fabric with the width of OB and the length of MDI plus 3 cm. The placement of the left leg threads should be along the length of the dress.
Fold the fabric in half with the wrong side up. In the photo, size B = DI 3 cm; size A = 1⁄2 OB. Pin the layers of fabric to prevent bias in the marking and cutting.
On the length from the bottom left point measure B = DPT 1.5 cm. Draw a straight line waist level.
From the same lower left point vertically upwards we defer G = 1⁄4 OB 1.5 cm. Mark the outside point of the shoulder line with an allowance. Draw concave line from it to the waist line. Then from the waist line we draw a concave fishing line to the bottom line. These will be the side seams, passing into the bottom edge.
Cut the dress according to the marking. Do not cut the fabric along the fold line. We have two identical pieces. a front and a back.
Mark the width and depth of the roll-out. Determine the dimensions as you wish. Similarly, according to our own wishes, we mark the depth of the armhole. At the bottom line we mark an open area. It is approximately 1⁄4 OB. On the other areas designed for sewing, mark the size of the allowance. It is equal to 1.5 cm.
Cut out two blanks for the belt 6 to 72 cm.
Each piece is folded in half on the long side with the wrong side facing out. Stitch the perimeter on two long sides and one short side. Stitch at a distance of 5 mm from the edge.
Turn out, and press out. Overlap the seams of free edge.
Overlap the seams of the back and front details. Add the parts of the dress facing each other, stitch the shoulder seams, and press the seam allowances together. Tuck the neckline in on the wrong side and press out.
Sew decorative stitches at a distance of 7 mm on both sides of the seam. At the same time secure the seam allowances.
Pin side seams of front and back on both sides on the wrong side.
Insert the belt details along the waistline into the seams. Make sure the edge of the belt is aligned with the edge of the corner.
Sew the seams stitching on the long sides of the belt at the bottom. Pin the three parts at the same time. the front, the waistband and the back.
Sew from the bottom of the armhole to the top of the hemline.
How the side seam with the belt built in looks like on the front side is shown in the next photo.
Re-stitch the seam allowances on the side seams. Tuck in the seam allowances on the wrong side of the armhole, iron out. Stitching the armhole edges.
The allowance on the seams of the bottom edge of the dress is folded on the wrong side and pressed down. Stitch up the hem of the dress.
