A girl can look stylish, beautiful and elegant in any outfit. And you don’t have to buy expensive things in the store for this. Craftswomen can make a stylish suit at home.
Sewing a tracksuit with your own hands is not that difficult. You just need to properly prepare for work and be patient.
Preparing for work
Before you start sewing, you need to take measurements, choose the fabric and style of the future product.
Which fabric to choose
For summer model better to choose lightweight fabrics: cotton, three-thread, jersey, jersey or viscose. Suits made from such materials look stylish and simple. They are comfortable to walk in and your body does not sweat in the summer.
For autumn and winter choose denser materials: fucro, velor, fleece. They will help warm the body in cold rainy weather and keep warm well.
How to take measurements
When taking measurements, it is important to take into account all the girl’s parameters.
For a tracksuit you will need the following information.
- For pants: waist circumference, leg length, buttock circumference (when sewing tight-fitting models, you will need knee and ankle circumference).
- For a sweater: back length, arm, shoulders, chest and waist circumference, back width (for tight-fitting models you will also need hand and elbow circumference).
What you need for work
To make women's sportswear, you will have to stock up on such materials and tools.
- Scissors.
- With threads.
- Pattern.
- Soap.
- Fabric.
- Rubber band.
If you plan to use decor, you can also take additional accessories to suit your taste.
- Important! Having a sewing machine will be a big advantage when sewing. However, if it is not there, do not be upset: all the details can be sewn by hand.
Women's tracksuit pattern
Two patterns are made for the pants and jacket. You can already find ready-made options on the Internet or create your own. The pattern is made only according to the person’s parameters. Otherwise, the product may turn out big or small.
Trousers
Pants pattern consists of two parts (front and back). We add 3–5 cm to the girl’s parameters if we plan to make a free-type model. To sew tight-fitting models, add 1–2 cm.
The back should be 2–3 cm wider than the front, as the roundness of the hips is taken into account. The length of the product should be ankle-length or slightly lower.
Important! If knitwear is chosen for a suit, then we do not make the product loose, since the fabric tends to stretch.
Sweater
A jacket for a suit can be in the form of a sweatshirt with a hood without or with a fastener.
For summer options instead of a sweater you can sew sleeveless vest. You can also make simple top or tank top.
When creating a pattern, you should take into account the chest circumference, that is, the product should be slightly larger in front. A cutout is made if desired.The product is decorated with a lock, patch pockets or lacing.
Sewing a tracksuit
After constructing the pattern, it needs to be transferred to the fabric.. To make the clothes comfortable, we make an indent for the sleeves - 3 cm, for the bottom of the product - 6 cm, for the top of the pants - 1 cm.
The algorithm of actions is as follows.
- Cut out the pattern pieces from the fabric.
- We sew all the details.
- We sew pockets into the side seams of the pants (they are absent in tight-fitting models).
- If desired, we sew pockets and a hood to the jacket.
- We turn the top of the pants and sew them on.
- Insert an elastic band into the resulting hole.
- We sew a separate piece into the neck.
- If you plan to have cuffs in a tracksuit, then cut them out of the fabric and sew the elastic cuffs to the product.
The product is ready! After connecting all the parts and finishing the work, the suit should be washed in warm water and allowed to dry. And then iron it with an iron.
Every craftswoman can sew a women's tracksuit at home. The main thing is to approach the process responsibly and follow the algorithm of actions.
