1. Cut a rectangle from the selected fabric. Fold it in half, find the middle of the figure and draw a straight line from the shoulder.
2. We mark the neck with a length of 30 cm with chalk, then cut out and try on the part.
3. We begin to sew all the side seams on a sewing machine, leaving untreated armholes.
4. We process the neck, the previously made armhole and the bottom of our product. It is desirable to perform these actions in an overlock way or to sew a thin braid.

Important! If you do not have loose material, but, for example, thin knitwear, then you can not perform the processing of the neck and armhole. It all depends on your desire.

Beach dresses are easy to sew

During the beach season, many women are more interested in the question of how to quickly sew a dress without a pattern. We all strive to look beautiful, as well as to save our financial costs. We propose to opt for an elegant drapery dress. The most important thing here is to choose the right fabric: it should be thin, flowing and as light as possible. Only with such material the outfit will ideally fit your body. To sew the product you need to prepare a piece of fabric 3 meters long, the width is at your discretion. It all depends on how long and free cutting you want the dress.

Working process:

• We make a perpendicular incision, about 5-10 cm in the upper central part of the material. So we form the area of ​​our neckline.
• The resulting two upper areas are decorated with a drawstring, stretching in each gap one satin ribbon or decorative rope. This will be our straps.

Important! We take into account the fact that 50 cm of ropes should freely hang from the back of the product so that we can tie them in front.

• Sew the tape in the seam on the back.
• Before wearing such a dress, we tie the remaining ribbons under the chest, forming a neat bow.

Stylish beach dress - pattern

In hot weather, a summer outfit of free cut with your own hands will always come in handy. Now we will sew a beach version of the dress. Light fabrics are good for sewing it: satin, silk, cambric, linen, viscose. Just don’t take polyester, since in a synthetic dress the body will not “breathe”. This pattern is designed for sewing a dress 46-48 size.

Important! Do not forget that wet viscose stretches in length when the product is worn, and linen or silk have the ability to "sit down".

Step-by-step master class:

1. Choose your own neckline depth. We don’t make a large cut immediately because you can correct it after trying on.
2. We outline on the material the desired length of the dress. We leave the fabric for sewing drawstring, belt-cord, four small fabric segments for tightening the shoulders.
3. We mark with remnant the location of the belt-cord. We have this area just below the waist.
4. Now drawstring with an estimated seam to the intended line.
5. We turn the sections of the drawstring, and then adjust it to the front side of the product.
6. We make on the drawstring two round or longitudinal holes for the exit of a narrow belt-cord.
7. We process the holes manually so that the cord can move freely in the interior.
8. We sew the shoulder seams, leaving a margin for making a cord 2 cm wide.
9. We iron and sew shoulder seams on a typewriter, bending the material inward. So we get 4 wings on two shoulders.
10. We thread the cords into the wings, and then we tighten and tie them into one strong knot. We got a slightly reassembled shoulder.
11. Tuck and flash the bottom of the product.
12. We got a classic model of a beach outfit.
