Sewing a trowel yourself is not difficult. It is important to choose the right fabric and prepare everything you need. You can create the pattern yourself or download it from the Internet. Cutting and connecting the parts is not difficult. You will need a sewing machine, scissors and thread. Even a novice seamstress can cope with the task. The advantage of such a thing will be the exclusivity of individual tailoring. Each detail is created taking into account the characteristics of the figure, so the jacket will fit perfectly. The product can have any fastener, it can be made with pockets or a hood, or decorated with embroidery. In modern stores there are many different materials. The main thing is to buy elastic fabric that stretches well.

What is a trowel in clothes and what to wear it with

In many regions it is customary to call sports sweaters a trowel. It can be warm or light, it doesn't matter. The word rather refers to colloquial speech. Today, trowels are popular among all generations.A convenient thing for home, walking, traveling often helps out. Fashionable trowel models:

• Long sweatshirts. Long sleeves and elasticated hem. They fasten at the front with a zipper and have welt pockets on the sides.
• Models with a hood. This option is suitable for warm weather. Olympic shorts with a hood are rarely used for sports training. These are rather walking options.
• Sweatshirts without fasteners. They are put on over the head, there is no snake. Can be with or without a hood. There are often kangaroo pockets on the front.

Sports jackets from suits and for professional sports are also often called trowels.

Sports trowel - how to sew a product

The sewing process begins with taking measurements. To sew this type of product you will need:

1. Overall length of the jacket.
2. Sleeve length.
3. Waist.
4. Neck volume.
5. Bust and hip volume.

The sewing process uses a four-thread overlock stitch. It is better to sew a trowel from knitwear or other elastic material. We prepare:

• Velvet, knitted fabric – 1.2 meters. It is desirable that the material has a cotton base.
• About half a meter of lining fabric if you plan to sew a hood. This will be the lining.
• Detachable snake. Approximate length – 55 centimeters.
• French knitwear cashcorse - 30 centimeters is enough for the cuffs.
• Adhesive pads.

We cut out the finished parts of the sweater on the fabric. You should focus on the shared thread. We leave about 0.8 centimeters for the allowance. We cut out each element along the contour. For a rectangle cuff, thirteen centimeters in width is enough; we also measure the circumference of the wrist to calculate the length.

We sew the trowel along the edges. An overlock stitch is used. There may be an allowance left on the middle seams, which also needs to be overcast.The jacket has a zipper, so we insert a fastener on both sides. We sew down the sleeves and use an overlocker to work with the cashkorse. The lower elastic bands on the sleeves must be folded in half. The front side remains outside. Next, we combine the edges of the sports jacket with the cuffs. Use pins to pin the pieces together. It is important to stretch the cuff fabric a little.

All that remains is to sew the parts together with a machine, and the trowel is ready. You can add a hood, pockets or make a snake on half of the jacket - a matter of imagination and individual wishes.
