DIY women's windbreaker made from dyuspo

Windbreakers are an essential part of a modern woman's wardrobe, allowing her to look great in any weather. You can't make a windbreaker for rainy weather out of cotton or linen.

We are accustomed to considering almost any synthetic fabric a necessary evil. But the time of rubberized mackintoshes is long gone; clothing made from polymer fabrics can meet all the requirements for convenience and safety.

Manufacturers offer a wide range of different fabrics for creating jackets and windbreakers.

What is cushion fabric?

Dyuspo is a relatively new product for the Russian market (for example, plain fabric is more common in our country). This is a practical fabric, from which women's jackets are often sewn, and we invite you to create interesting models with your own hands.

Duspo is a 100% polyester fabric with a number of advantages:

• The fabric does not deform, does not stretch, difficult to wear out.
• Lightweight and durable.
• Practically does not fade.
• It is not afraid of the wind, but at the same time the cushion conducts air perfectly.
• Moisture simply rolls off the surface of most types of cushions.
• Windbreakers made of dyuspo Can be worn at temperatures down to minus 15 degrees.
• Dyuspo is easy to care for.

Step-by-step sewing instructions for beginners

It is better to take an old jacket or windbreaker as a basis; it is better to sew without darts, with a loose fit.

To enlarge any pattern (without new patterns), you need to add the missing centimeters in the center of the pattern according to your new standards. And make the armhole and darts (if necessary) yourself.

Sequence of work:

• Cut out the details. The usual seam allowance is 1.5 cm.
• Lining also cut along the top, the lining of the shelf - to the hem line.
• Place the shelf lining with the shelf face to face, aligning the cut of the lining with the cut of the hem, sew the seam. Smooth it towards the lining.
• Details of the top of the shelves, back, sleeves fold with the corresponding parts of the lining fabric with the right sides inward (fold the shelf with the stitched lining along the fold line), baste, then stitch.
• Turn out all the details.
• Sew burlap with a 1 cm seam to the pocket protrusions on the front side of the shelf and back. On the shelf, sew the entrance to the pocket along the fold line on the front side.
• Sew shoulder seams.
• Press the shoulder seams.
• Sew the sleeve into the open armhole, press the seams.

Advice! If you are making patties, then fold their parts in half lengthwise with the right side inward, stitch, turn them inside out and stitch to the edge, retreating 0.2 cm. Baste the finished patties to the sections of the sleeves at a distance of 4 cm from their bottom.

• Connect the side sections of the shelves and back and the sections of the sleeves, baste and sew with a through seam along with the burlap pockets. Press the side seams and burlap towards the front.
• Collar Fold it in half lengthwise with the right side facing inward and stitch the side edges together. The collar is turned inside out.
• Place the inside of the collar against the neckline from the lining side, baste and stitch the seam. Fold the free cut of the collar inward by 0.7-1 cm, baste on the front side of the coat, overlapping the stitching seam, stitch, departing from the edge 0.2 cm. 18.
• Mark, stitch stitches.
• Sew a button onto the patch and sleeve, placing a 4 cm fold on the last one.
• Try on a windbreaker.

Based on the simplest pattern, you can make almost any model of windbreaker. By sewing on a collar of a different shape, making cuffs and different types of fasteners, lengthening or shortening the windbreaker, we get completely different windbreakers.

Duspo fabric takes the shape of complex finishing details well, feel free to experiment.
