Today, trousers are an integral part of a woman's wardrobe.
There are so many options for this clothing that it is easy for an inexperienced connoisseur of beauty to get lost in it.
And needlewomen never cease to amaze us with more and more new designs. But for beginning needlewomen, a serious obstacle to making new models is the lack of pattern-making skills. They don’t realize that trousers can be made without going through this difficult process.
We will tell you how to sew women's trousers yourself, and do it without first creating a pattern.
Preparing for work
Materials and tools
Pants for sample
The main secret in sewing trousers without a pattern is to use a product that fits properly.
Therefore, for work, first of all, you will need the trousers that you already wear.For a sample, choose the model in which you feel most comfortable. If you have several of these pants, you can choose from them the style that you want to add to your wardrobe.
Advice. Try not to take something made of stretchable material as a sample, as this quality can distort the result.
During the work you will need
In addition, you will need the following tools and materials for this process.
- Textile. Its choice will depend on seasonality and scope of use. For example, for a home option, it is better to purchase a soft flannel with a bright color and a variegated pattern. In addition to convenience, this type will provide you with a positive charge. For walking, linen, wool or denim are suitable.
- Chalk. It can be purchased at points of sale of fabric or handicraft goods.
- Scissors. They will be needed for cutting fabric.
- Tailor pins. They will need to fasten the parts of future clothing.
Choosing a cutting method
The details of the future new thing are cut out from old clothes, which are used as patterns. The work can be done in two ways.
With the help of ripped trousers
The seams on the pants chosen for the sample must be unzipped. After this, the clothing is divided into its component elements.
Important! Most often, it is not possible to return the sample to its original appearance even after assembling the product.
Only a high-class professional can do this. Therefore, it would be right to choose an old thing for a sample that you don’t mind parting with.
Based on the whole product
But you can get by with less radical methods, preserving the integrity of the sample. In this case, you will have to clearly highlight each detail of the trousers. The remaining parts of the item can be pinned together, placed inside, or simply placed on top.
Cutting trousers without a pattern
Cutting out the material for sewing a new model is not as difficult as it might seem at first glance. An inexperienced seamstress is quite capable of handling this work.
You just need to follow the following procedure.
- Place the resulting parts on the prepared material. When laying out, make sure that the parts lie in the same direction.
- Outline chalk outlines.
Attention! Don't forget to add a couple of centimeters for seam allowances.
- Cut out all the parts future trousers.
By following this procedure, you can not only make trousers of an identical design, but also, by making adjustments, get a different model. For example, make your pants tapered or sew leggings by reducing the width.
