DRAFTING OF THE UPPER BODY (BEGINNERS)

THIS IS THE BASIC LINE OF UPPER PART DRAFTING .


 THE  ARMHOLE PART IS THE CUTTING AREA (LEFT SIDE) .OTHER SIDE COMES ON FOLDING

THREE FOURTH ( CAPRI)

 FOLLOW THE PANT TUTORIAL AND MAKE DIFFERENT TYPES OF PANTS ,JUST BY  MAKING  SMALL CHANGES


ON FIGURE ONE LENGTH IS REDUCED AND A SMALL WHITE BIT IS ATTACHED

FOR THIS KIND OF PANT GIVE SOME LOOSE TO THE LEG PART

AFTER CUTTING ATTACH BAND ON THE BOTTOM LINE. IF U WISH,U CAN ADD  ELASTIC ON THE BAND TO GET THE CORRECT SHAPE.ATTACH A BAND ON THE WAIST PART ALSO,  THE STEPS ARE SAME AS THAT OF BOTTOM BAND . 

TUTORIAL FOR A PANT ( VERY VERY EASY)

stitching a pant ,goes more easy if u followed the shorts tutorial.

whenever u sit to draft something new,just go through the old drafting in ur mind. compare the old one and the new one. find the similarities.



divide our body into two parts .1 upper part
                                            .2 lower part

in our last two posts we went through the lower part tutorials and this deals with the same.


cloth needed = double of the length+3 and a half inch

• 1  MEASURING
• 2  CALCULATING
• 3  FOLDING
• 4  DRAFTING
• 5  CUTTING
• 6  STITCHING 

   .1 MEASUREMENTS  needed are

  .1 LENGTH

  .2 WAIST

  .3 ANKLE

  2.CALCULATING

.1 length = length+ 3 and a half (length =from waist to ankle) 

    till the green dots

.2 waist =  waist/4 +1.25 inch

.3 ankle = ankle round+2.25 inch( u can add some more inches if u prefer loose fitting(or add bell                                                     shaped cutting for bell bottoms) . or u can  make the fitting tight                                                    too by adding only 2 inches to the ankle  round .but don forget                                                      to check whether u can wear the pant comfortably through your                                                    legs or not).

STEP BY STEP TUTORIAL FOR SHORTS ( EASY)

• MEASURING
• CALCULATING
• FOLDING
• DRAFTING
• CUTTING 
• STITCHING

cloth needed= quarter meter (approximate)





folding of shorts is as same as the panties that we viewed on the last post.

.MEASUREMENT needed are

.1 length
.2 waist

.CALCULATION

Length= length( ur desired length)+3
waist  = waist/4 +2

.DRAFTING

    CUTTING

 STITCHING

stitch your shorts and amaze your friends.......stay tuned

STITCHING A PANTIES FOR YOUR BABY (easy) STEP BY STEP TUTORAL

LET THIS BE OUR FIRST STEP

              

                                                      To know the basics of sewing clothes we must learn from the basics itself.
cloth needed = half meter(approximated)

Learn to stitch a panties for your kid.. imagine your kid wearing a panties stitched by u. it is very easy if u follow the correct steps

• 1 MEASURING
• 2 CALCULATING
• 3 FOLDING
• 4 DRAFTING
• 5 CUTTING
• 6 STITCHING

1. measure the hip,seat and crotch 

or find       crotch =length=seat/3

                HIP=BREADTH=HIP/4+2

 AB = LENGTH(CROTCH)
 BC =BREADTH

2 CALCULATING

EG:        IF 20 IS HIP AND 24 IS SEAT THEN
              LENGTH       =  24/3       =8
AND     BREADTH      =  20/4+2   =7

IMAGINE  A B C D AS THE CLOTH

one of the important thing that a beginner must know is about the folding of the cloth.if the folding goes wrong u may spoil the whole cloth.so first of all it is good to try the cutting on a paper.   take only a small piece of paper which fits in ur palm,and try cutting. cut the paper in the correct folding and in the wrong  folding too. this will make u understand more about folding 

                                             3   FOLDING

CAPITAL    A B C D  IS THE  OPEN     FABRIC
small            a b c  d    is  the     folded      fabric

FIG 1    is ur cloth

FIG 2.   fold it according the arrow ,and u will get the result  as  fig 2 (B)

FIG 3.   fold it according to the arrow,and folding completed on fig 3 (B)
 

• follow the images to fold ur cloth.see the image 4 the blue lines will have the open part of the folded cloth and the rose line have the closed part

         now u got 4 layers of fabrics , remember(hip /4) hip was divided by 4 is because ur fabric is folded as four layers  think about this as this helps u in many dress folding 

                                               DRAFTING

LENGTH   =8

BREADTH =7   draw a square of 8 inch length and 7 inch breadth

mark 1 inch from  'a' to insert elastic (orange shaded)

b to e = 1 and a half for children and 2 for adults

f = half of the length

join e and f .

                                                    

CUTTING

cut along the dots

and open the fabric u will get the fabric as shown in the second figure ABCD.

STITCHING

• 1, Roll and stitch the sides marked blue 
  
  2,  u can add frills on the curved part marked green
  

  

  fig 2

  
  
  
  
  
  
  3,join  the sides ,leaving the orange line =one inch                                                                                                            

  

  fig 3
  
  

  join both sides(A TO B AND B TO C)  
  
  
  4,then fold that one inch(orange shaded ) and stitch around. leave a small gap in the end to insert elastic
  
  length of the elastic=half of the hip size
  
  
  AFTER INSERTING ELASTIC STITCH THAT SMALL GAP ALSO ......    .TRY IT
