Usually the sequence of actions when sewing looks as follows: the person decides to sew something, chooses model, thinks, quality what fabric is required to him and in what quantity and only then goes to buy it. There can be also the return option when have presented you cut, and you think that from it can turn out. In both cases it is necessary to count approximate consumption of fabric.
Instruction
1. Take measurements. To count amounts of fabric, you need to know measurements of bust and hips, length of product and length of sleeve. Approximately consider how many fabric will be required to you for collar, pockets, belt, finishing and so on. Normally it is several centimeters, and when cutting wide cut it is not necessary to consider such trifles.
2. Estimate what width fabric is required to you for sewing of product of direct silhouette. Better if the cut is wide, from 140 cm. In this case, the cut which length is equal to one length of product with the allowances for processing of bottom and top added to it is necessary for the person with standard figure when the grasp of hips together with allowances for free fitting is less than width of fabric.
3. If fabric narrower, it is necessary to buy piece at least in two lengths of product. But in this case a lot of things depend on as far as it is narrow. If its width of 120 cm, then sleeves can be found from the remains of cut of larger parts so two lengths will be enough. It is necessary to add on some more centimeters on pockets and other small parts. Other business, if width from 70 to 100 cm. Then buy piece of two lengths of product, add length of sleeve and centimeters 20-30 on additional parts if they are.
4. The fabric consumption on blouse is defined as well as on dress. And here when cutting skirt if it is wrong to count, there can be unpleasant surprises. For skirt pleated increase grasp of hips by three. Look whether the received width will keep within two width of cut. If is not present, add one more length.
5. Most of all fabric is spent for strongly flared skirts. The skirt sun will require four lengths to which it is necessary to add on four radiuses of dredging for waist, width of belt and allowances for seams. For skirt semi-sun, respectively, the amount of fabric decreases twice — two lengths, two radiuses of dredging. Width of belt and allowances for seams just the same, as well as for skirt sun.
