Useful advice
Important to remember:
- We are trying on a shirt and pins. We note where to alter. From that moment on, the most interesting thing begins - choose the thing in which we want to alter our shirt, and begin to create.
- All the edges that are trimmed, processed by Overlock either stitching gently machine. For the absence of the last two things - we are in hand.
- To reduce the size of any model, you can make a plot, collect on the waist using the braid or insert a gum.
- If the size is much greater than yours, then the product should be removed over the side seams, remove too much and sew back. You can also wear and adjust this moment with a belt.
- You can decorate the finished product with rhinestones, braid, lace, beads, make embroidery - let the fantasy.
Women's shirt
The first thing that comes to mind is to remake the men's shirt in the female. Lots, choose what you like, and forth for business. To get a model with open shoulders, you need to trim the sleeves to the desired length, process the edges and insert a gum or buttons. Measure how much you should remove from above, and cut off. We proceed the edges and insert the gum.
It is possible to drastically not to change the style, but insert a gum or braid on the waist or under the waist, thus visually reduce the size and gear.
The sleeves can be shortened to the desired length, can be done without sleeves, and you can completely open your shoulders, cutting off from the collar to the armp.
Long sleeve can not trim, but ripening and sewing a transverse strip with a button to keep drapery.
Summer blouse
In order to get a blouse, we will need to cut the sleeves. We celebrate and make a cutout of your favorite, all edges process. We remove the width with the help of tips on the chest, gum or braids on the waist or leave free style.
You can play a little with the length and shape of the sleeve so that the blouse looked original.
Tops, T-shirts
To feel some cowboys, it is not necessary to go to the Wild West, you can make yourself a shorten shirt. Sleeves can leave long, you can make short or completely without them. Under the breasts cut the fabric to stay comfortable for you. Dress, tie the floors under the breast - and the new outfit is ready.
One of the summer options may be a shirt on the straps. We celebrate pins or chalk cutout, which would like to see on the finished product, cut off the unnecessary cloth in the neck together with the sleeves. From the remaining pieces we make straps and sew to T-shirt.
Child dress
The principle of sewing the same as the rest of the products, but the width of the product will be removed only by cutting along the side seams. At the level of the sleeves, either assume with the help of a gum on the sides, or to put the gum around the entire product.
Skirt
Depending on the desired length of the skirt, cut out a piece in the middle of the shirt. Either simply insert the gum into the treated top edge, or from the tissue residues make the belt and sew to the main product. If you want to make a pencil skirt, you will have to work a little longer and take the product along the side seams.
Apron
This indispensable outfit in the kitchen is made literally in minutes. We take scissors and boldly cut off the whole back on the side seams along with the sleeves, leaving the collar. Gently remove unnecessary pieces of fabric from the collar to the waist, so that the chest remains closed. We grab all the edges and sew the ropes on the sides made from the residues.
Pillowcase on the sofa pillow
In the form of the pillow, cut the desired piece of fabric from the widest part of the shirt so that the buttons were in the middle. We proceed the edges and stitch.
As you can see, the process is not long and rather simple. And even if you do not possess the skills of the seamstress, you can create something new from the old one. The main thing is desire, imagination and a little time. Good luck in your work!
