Sewing a dress, skirt, blouse for your favorite doll is an amazing process. Both mothers and children show interest in the appearance of toys.
For a little fashionista, clothes are simple. And the material is selected from the remaining scraps. Spending evenings decorating the baby becomes a family tradition. A large charge of positive emotions is guaranteed.
This article will discuss how to sew denim overalls using the blythe diy model.
IMPORTANT! If you have no experience, choose cotton, corduroy, or denim. Thin knitwear will move apart. Satin material is very capricious; additional processing on an overlocker is required.
Preparing materials and tools for work
You will need the following:
- A piece of fabric.
- Threads.
- Lightning.
- Centimeter.
- Needles.
- Pins.
- Scissors.
- Pen.
Cuts with a small pattern are used for sewing. Do you plan to use straps? To do this you need 2 rectangles in the same tone.
After stitching, the parts should be ironed. This saves time.
ATTENTION! Zippers are bought in brand stores specializing in doll clothes. You can use a simple secret one.
Sizing
Let's look at the example of a doll with a waist circumference of 8 cm. If necessary, make adjustments to your toy yourself.
From the waist towards the foot, measure the length of the overalls shorts (7 cm).
The top element is a bodice with a zipper. Applying a piece of fabric, mark the edging of the top and bottom with a pen (9 x 4.5 cm).
Drawing up a pattern
Let's consider the case when a pet's overalls are not sewn according to ready-made sketches.
- The length of the shorts is measured along the main line of the fabric, 16 cm is left against the bottom line for the waist.
- Cut out a rectangle.
- Fold in half and cut along the fold line.
- Place the two squares with the right side facing inward.
- Mark from the edges by a centimeter in the upper and lower parts.
- Having measured 1/3 from the top, connect the lines. Then they cut it.
The upper element is not cut out, but is shaped along the body of the doll during sewing.
For the straps, cut out 2 rectangles 9.5 x 2.5 cm long.
Advice. The pattern can be supplemented with sleeves, another front, lace, buttons, pockets, add reverse elements, etc.
Sewing doll overalls
The edges of the top and bottom are pre-processed. The edge is folded in by hand and sewn up. A stitch is made using a machine, first folding it to the wrong side and overcasting.
If there are pockets, allowances are cut closer to the stitching. Where there are formed corners, make an incision. This way the part will have a clear execution.
Step-by-step instruction
- The top side seams of the shorts are sewn from the inside out. One side is not finished; this is necessary for inserting a zipper.
- These seams and cutout are processed.
- The remaining edges of the shorts are sewn from the inside out. The lower piece of clothing is ready.
REFERENCE! Due to the miniature size, the edges of the parts may curl. To prevent this, use adhesive fabric.
- A fragment of adhesive is cut out, repeating the part, applied to the main one and ironed.
- For the upper part, the material is applied to the model's bust. The back is secured with pins. It is necessary that the fabric is tightly attached to the body. There will be “excess” visible in the front, which needs to be pinned.
- In front, the pinning places are sewn from the inside out, not reaching the top.
- The back is decorated with a zipper. The zipper is sewn completely along its entire height.
- Turning the workpieces over to the other side, stitch the upper and lower parts.
- The zipper is added to the cut of the shorts.
- Try it on a doll.
- The 13 cm tape is divided into 2 parts. The straps are sewn from the wrong side.
- Then they are turned inside out and ironed so that the stitches remain on the back side.
- Sew the strap with two lines so that it is miniature and fits the toy.
The work will require some effort, but it will bring many joyful moments to mother and child.
