The order of the fitting. Lesson on the topic: "Preparing garments for fitting." II. Methodological equipment of the lesson

For the first fitting, darts, side and shoulder cuts of cut details are swept with basting stitches. When basting, the parts are folded with the front sides inward, combining the copy stitches, control points. Parts of a complex configuration are swept away from the side of the part with a concave line. Shoulder cuts are swept away from the back.

Practical work

Instruction card:

Tools and accessories: work box, cut details.

Work sequence

1. Sweep off shoulder and bust darts, starting at the sharp end, aligning the copy stitches.

2. Sweep the shoulder cuts, aligning the copy stitches on the back and front details. The highest points of the neck of the back and the front should coincide.

3. Sweep the side sections, combining the copy stitches on the back and the shelf, control points along the waist, hips (sweep from the back).

4. In a garment without a fastener, fold the bottom of the garment along copy stitches to the wrong side and sweep it over.

Self-control

Check:

1. accuracy and accuracy of sweeping darts;
2. the length of the shoulder, chest darts;
3. Accuracy of sweeping of shoulder and side seams;
4. the combination of the highest points of the neck of the back and the shelf;
5. the accuracy of sweeping the bottom of the product.

Questions and assignment

1. How are darts swept away?
2. Which side are the shoulder seams swept away from?
   
3. Tell us about the sequence of preparing the product for the first fitting.

First fitting of the product

The product is tried on on the right side of the figure. Places where corrections need to be made are marked with pins, placing them across the seam. After the first fitting, all corrections are transferred to the left side of the product.

Defects of the back and front of the product and how to eliminate them

During the fitting, you need to combine the lines of the middle of the back and the front of the product with the middle of the figure; pay attention to the shoulder and side seams; the shoulder seam should run in the middle of the shoulder, the side seam should run vertically in a straight line, without skewing. If necessary, the seam is ripped open and positioned in the desired direction. The pins are inserted perpendicular to the cut.

a - the product along the armhole does not adhere to the figure,
b - the product does not adhere to the figure along the neckline.

a - transverse creases of the front at the neck at shoulder level,
6 - correction of the defect - inclined creases on the back under the armhole.

a - the product is prepared for the first fitting,
6 - specification of the length of the product,
c - a change in the side seam.

A feature and advantage of individual tailoring is the ability to carry out fittings, during which you can check the correct fit of the product on the figure, clarify the position of individual parts, eliminate defects caused by errors in taking measurements, making a drawing.

Transferring pattern lines to cut details

All contour lines of the pattern and markings can be transferred to the details of the garment different ways... The choice of method depends on whether you need to see the lines only on the seamy side of the cut details, or they should be on front side... It is also important to consider the type and properties of the material.

You can quickly and accurately transfer the pattern lines using a chisel with a wheel and carbon paper (Fig. 73, o), the color of which should be in contrast to the color of the fabric. After cutting, the cut parts folded with the front sides inside with a pattern pinned with pins are placed on the paper laid out with a copy layer upwards and the cutter wheel is drawn along all the contours of the pattern, internal lines and marks. The outline of the pattern should appear on back side in the form of dots. This method cannot be used for fine fabrics.

The lines are also transferred to the second part.

You learned how to carry out the transfer of pattern lines with copy lines (Fig. 73, b) in grade 6. This is a tedious process and is used for fine fabrics or to show lines on the obverse.

Rice. 73. Transferring the lines of the pattern to the cut details: a - by the wheel of the cutter; b - with copying stitches-snares; in - straight stitches; d - pins

The transfer of the pattern lines can be performed using straight stitches with a thread of a contrasting color, the stitches are laid along the track of the wheel, separating the parts (Fig. 73, c).

Experienced tailors use pins when transferring patterns. The pins are inserted through two layers of fabric at the intersection points of the straight lines of the pattern, the cut details are turned over and the points indicated by the pins are connected using a ruler and tailor's chalk (Fig. 73, d). When transferring curved lines, pins are inserted as often as necessary in order to reveal the contours of the line. This method is not suitable for very thin fabrics, as the pins can cause the threads to slip.

Basting the garment for the first try

When preparing a product for trying on, the parts are joined manually with temporary stitches or on a sewing machine with stitches 5-6 mm long, allowing you to quickly separate the parts. This temporary connection of parts is called sweeping. At the beginning and at the end of hand stitches, it is necessary to make two or three reverse reinforcement stitches, otherwise, when trying on, the threads will disperse and the seam will be disposed of. You need to sweep the product on the table, and not by weight.

Basting center back seam

If the product has a middle seam on the back, then before sweeping, the back parts are folded with the front sides inward and, aligning the outlined contours, cleave them with pins, which are placed across the seam. Parallel to the outlined seam line, stepping back 1 mm towards the cuts of the parts, lay straight hand stitches (Fig. 74). Do not sweep the slit under the fastener before trying on.

Rice. 74. Basting the middle back seam

Sweeping darts

If you have chosen a model with darts, you should know the rules for processing them.

To sweep a simple dart (coming from the cut), you need to fold the part right side inward along the midline, aligning the side lines and control notches. Then chop with pins and lay straight stitches along the side line (Fig. 75, a).

To process a solid dart (located in the middle of the Part), it is swept away, starting from one of the ends of the dart (Fig. 75, b).

Rice. 75. Basting of darts: a - simple; b - solid

Basting shoulder cuts

Connecting the back and front, the cut details are folded with the front sides inward, the shoulder cuts are equalized, pinned, and then swept away from the back (Fig. 76). If the back part has shoulder darts, they are processed before sweeping the shoulder cuts and ironed towards the middle of the part. Usually, the shoulder cut of the back is made slightly longer than the cut of the shelf to better fit the shoulder blades. Excess length when sweeping is slightly planted, shortened until a slight bulge is formed.

Side sweeping

To connect the product along the side cuts, the backrest and in front are folded with the front sides inward, the control marks are aligned, the cuts are equalized and, chipped with pins, are swept away from the front (Fig. 77).

Bodice-to-skirt connection

In products cut along the waist or hips, the bodice is inserted into the skirt so that both parts are facing each other with their front sides. Equalize their cuts along the waist, align the control marks and side seams and pin them off. The details are swept away from the side of the skirt (Fig. 78).

Physical minute.

3. Communication of new material.

In the previous lessons, we have already talked about the features of making lightweight clothing. One of them is sewing a product with fitting. At the fitting, we specify the fit of the product on the figure, its volume and length. We will dwell on this issue in more detail in the next lessons. And today we must prepare the product for fitting.

The teacher writes the topic of the lesson on the blackboard, and the students write the topic of the lesson in their notebooks.

What does it mean to prepare a skirt for fitting? This means connecting the details of the skirt in order to try it on before sewing.

The teacher offers to consider a sample of a skirt ready for fitting

For fitting, darts are swept away, side seams along the side lines. On the left side of the skirt along the side line, leave 15cm for the fastener processing. A belt is swept along the upper cut. We notice the bottom along the outlined line.

Details of the skirt, darts are connected with temporary stitches forward to the needle. Make sure the stitches are tight enough so that they don't come apart during fitting. The length of the stitches is 5-6 mm, at the beginning and at the end of the stitch, bartacks are made.

Now let's check how carefully you listened to me.

Exercise. Cards of operational work are scattered on the board. It is necessary to draw up a sequence for preparing a skirt for fitting. Each student offers her own version of preparing a skirt for fitting. During a general discussion of the work plan, the best way is chosen.

The teacher sums up, reads out the sequence of preparing the skirt for fitting according to the flow chart:

- Basting darts of the front panel of the skirt

- Basting darts on the back of the skirt

- Sweeping parts along the right side line

- Sweeping parts along the line of the left side

- Stitching the belt along the waist line

- Bridging the lower edge of the skirt

7. Grades for the lesson.

I found such an interesting and useful material - I am sharing, but, as usual, I give first of all a link to the site where I found it. there is much more useful stuff than I post - useful for sewing! Models with patterns, modeling, sewing, etc. I always want to have a table with defects at hand, not "running" around the site, because I am godlessly hanging around in reading, forgetting about the promise to myself: "I will quickly look and continue to do" ...)))

Preparation of the product for the first fitting

1. Mark the middle of the back and front panels, sleeves, waist line with a basting stitch.

2. Continue the snare along the main and shaped lines of the pattern.

3. Sweep and grind the wedges (if any), press the stitching seams.

4. Sweep away darts and soft folds, folding and aligning them from the end. Sweep darts from the cuts to the end with small frequent stitches so that they do not move when sewing. If the darts and folds are located in the middle of the part, then we start sweeping them from one end.

5. We sweep the shaped lines (undercuts, reliefs), make assemblies, if required by the style. When joining parts with a stitching or topstitching seam, sweeping should be performed from the side of those parts that have a fabric fit: assembly, curly seams, dissected corners or concave lines.

6. Sweep the shoulder seams of the back and shelves, for an even fit, collect the shoulder seam of the back with small stitches on a thread. You should not place the fit close to the armhole. Sweep the shoulder seams of the right shoulder from the neckline to the armhole, on the left - on the contrary, from the armhole to the sprout, sweep it along the back. Instead of landing the shoulder section of the back, you can make a dart in the middle, which, like the fit, tightens the free fabric of the back, gives a beautiful fit.

In fabrics that can be stretched, we sweep the edge to the shoulder cut of the shelf. The width of the edge is 1 cm, its length is 0.7 cm less than the shoulder cut of the back. The stitch should be 0.2 - 0.3 cm from the edge of the hem. We do not sweep the shoulder dart for the convenience of stitching it after trying on.

7. In a one-piece dress or blouse, sweep the side seams along the back, starting from the armhole, combining the waistline and hips along the side cuts.

8. If the dress is cut-off along the waistline, connect the bodice with the skirt. To do this, put the bodice in the skirt (folding the front side inward), pin it off with pins, aligning the middle of the back with the middle of the back panel of the skirt, the middle of the front with the middle of the front panel and the side seams, and then sweep it.

9. We sweep the seam of the sleeve, starting from the ridge down. The collar of the sleeve should be 3 - 4 cm larger than the armhole (for a fit. Check it out).

Along the edge of the sleeve, lay basting stitches in two rows (starting from the seam of the sleeve) - the first row is 1 cm from the edge of the edge, the second - 0.5 cm from the first. Pull up the sleeves with hand stitches.

First fitting

If the pattern is made exactly taken measurement taking into account the physique, the product is correctly sourced, then during the fitting there may be minor corrections. We try on the fitting on the right side of the product, and with a versatile figure - on both sides. We pinch the clasp, if any.

When trying on, pay attention to the following:

1. The middle of the back of the garment should be in the middle of the back, and the middle of the shelf - in the middle of the front of the figure.

2. Set the exact line of the waist. To do this, gird the figure with a braid and draw a waist line in the direction of the braid.

3. Pay attention to the overall fit of the product, clarify the direction of the shoulder dart, which should be located towards the center of the chest.

4. Seen from the side, the shoulder seam should sort of divide the shoulder in half.

5. The side seam should run in a straight line.

6. If the product is wide along the waistline, then during the fitting we will lay darts or folds and fasten them with pins. Their length and depth depends on the shape.

7. In a one-piece dress, try on both sides to avoid skewing.

Note: After trying on the side seams, we will open the side seams, fold the product in half, aligning the cuts, fasten it with pins and check the evenness of the correction on both sides of the product.

8. Let's clarify the neckline or the size and shape of the collar. The neckline in the garment should fit snugly against the neck.

9. Let's clarify the shaped lines and the location of the finishing details.

10. Attach the collar pattern to the neckline so that the middle of it coincides with the middle of the back, and the ends with the middle of the shelf.

11. Let's clarify the cut of the armhole by pins or a stroke. Pull off the surplus of the sleeve intended for landing (3 - 4 cm). We pin the center of the ridge to the shoulder seam with the hem of the cut to the side of the wrong side. Distribute the fit of the sleeve on a proportionally folded figure so that there is more of it towards the shelf than towards the back. On a kinky figure, increase the fit to the stick, and decrease it to the back. On a stooped figure, we will increase the fit of the sleeves more towards the back, as the figure requires. When trying on a product, this is a very important area. Take great care.

We will apply control points of the connection of the sleeve with the armhole from the shoulder seam downwards at a distance of 8 - 10 cm towards the back and the shelf. If the center of the collar of the sleeve does not coincide with the shoulder seam, pin the sleeve, as required by the figure, and draw a control point for the connection of the center of the collar with the armhole.

After trying on, we will lay the thread with basting stitches along the armhole of the bodice around the sleeve ridge, which will be the guide line when the sleeve is sewn into the armhole.

12. Let's outline the location and length of the loops.

13. Note the length of the product.

After the first fitting, if there are corrections, mark the side and shoulder seams, fold the back and shelf with the front side inward, bending them along the middle line, combining the shoulder and side sections. Chip the product along the shoulder and side cuts with pins and transfer the marked corrections during fitting from the right side to the left. After correcting the defects noted during the first fitting, we will proceed to sewing the product and preparing it for the second fitting.

Second fitting

By the second fitting, all shaped lines, darts, shoulder seams, side seams, a set-in sleeve, a collar, a bodice swept over a skirt, the bottom of the product should be swept and stitched:

During the fitting, we clarify:

1. The length and width of the product.

2. Correctness of the collar in the neck, sleeves in the armhole.

3. The shape and location of finishing parts and shaped lines.

4. Mark the place where buttons, buttons, hooks, etc. are sewn on.

5. Pay attention to the overall fit of the product.

If you sew clothes according to verified templates, and are absolutely sure that the fit and balance of the product will be observed almost perfectly, you still need to perform several fittings. And what about non-standard shapes? In this case, fittings are simply necessary and their number is determined during sewing and depends not only on the complexity of the model, the fabric from which the product is sewn, but also on the professionalism of the tailor. We will tell you how to prepare a product for fitting and how to carry it out correctly.

Important points when trying on products: Dresses and blouses are tried on in underwear, jackets - in a shirt, a coat - in a sweater or jacket.

First fitting: everything is according to the rules!

In order to prepare the product for the first fitting, it is necessary to sweep the darts, seams, transfer with basting stitches to the front side of the half-line of the shelves, the folds of the lapels, the location of the loops (if they are provided in the product), the location of the pockets, patches, etc. If along the back of the dress a zipper is provided, it should be swept in. It is also necessary to sweep in the sleeves. Sweep the allowances along the bottom of the product. If the product has shoulder pads, fitting should be done with them.

It is advisable to transfer the basting stitches of the lines of the chest, waist, hips to the front side. This will simplify the process of adjusting the product balance, if required.

Put on the prepared product for the customer (by the customer we mean the person to whom the product is sewn), close the zipper on the dress, on the jacket or jacket, pin off both shelves along the half-nose line, aligning the details along the waist line and along the bottom of the product.

Do not rush to immediately start re-pinching the seams, first carefully evaluate the fit of the product, the balance of the front and back of the product, the coincidence of the horizontal lines (chest, waist, bottom of the product).

What should be done at the first fitting?

At the first fitting, you should evaluate the general appearance of the product and the fit, the width and length of the back and shelves, sleeves, the length and solution of the darts, the location of the embossed seams and decorative details. If the product has sleeves, at the first try-on, you should check the width and length of the sleeve, fold and sweep the sleeves to the desired length, then separate the sleeve from the product and proceed to eliminate defects in the fit, if necessary.

Product balance is an important indicator!

Balance of the product - this definition scares many, but there is nothing difficult here, the main thing is to understand how to correctly assess the balance of the product and how to correct landing defects, if any.

IMPORTANT! If during construction basic pattern you have accurately measured the product, there should be no problems with the balance of the product.

Many experienced tailors use a shoulder pad when taking measurements, which is very easy to sew, but it will be an indispensable aid in taking the most important measurements that form the balance of the product.

Rice. 1. Pattern and cut details of the shoulder pad

Cut out 2 parts of the front and back halves of the lining from a thick fabric without any seam allowances. Fold both pieces, wrong sides together, and overcast along the contour with a zig-zag or overcast stitch.

Sew 4 inlays 0.5 cm wide and 0.5 m long and sew along the markings. Machine stitch with contrasting thread to mark the shoulder seam line.

To fix the waist circumference, sew a tape 0.5 cm wide and a length equal to 2 waist circumferences. When taking or checking measurements, tie an overlay around the neck, and a tape around the waist, fixing the inlines sewn to the overlay on the shelf and backrest.

Rice. 2. Shoulder pad on the mannequin

With the help of such an overlay, it is very convenient to take measurements associated with the waistline, shoulder length and neck girth.

Rice. 3. Taking Measurement Shoulder Length Using Shoulder Pad

So what is product balance? This is the balance of all parts of the product worn on the figure - the correspondence of the shoulder and side seams, the waist line and the chest line and their full compliance with the customer's figure.

The measurements that form the basis of the balance of the product are the length of the front to the waist (RTA) and the length of the back to the waist (DTS). They are also called balance measures.

Rice. 4. Taking measurements Front-to-waist length (RTA)

Rice. 5. Taking measurements Back length to waist (DTS)

There are 3 types of balance: anteroposterior, lateral and balance, characterizing a variety of combination of the supporting part of the part with its lower part.

The most common product defects are associated with a violation of the anteroposterior (or vertical) balance (determined by the waist line) and lateral (or horizontal) balance - determined by the angle of inclination of the shoulder sections.

If balance defects are visible during fitting, it is necessary to chop the shoulder seams (use pins), and outline the location of the seam itself with chalk.

IMPORTANT! If the anteroposterior balance is disturbed, a more complex adjustment is required, which we will discuss in detail a little later.

Check the length of the garment, the location of the raised seams, the location of the pockets and loops. Shallow the neckline of the front, back and armholes (without allowances) with chalk on the right side of the fabric, inject the collar into the neckline. Transfer all changes made during fitting to paired parts.

Second Fitting - Increased Willingness

When preparing the product for the second fitting, it is necessary to grind and iron the darts and embossed seams (except for shoulder and side seams), sew in a zipper, and process pockets.

The second fitting should be carried out in the same way as the first, but the level of readiness of the product is much higher, so you can more confidently make changes, if necessary, compare the resulting silhouette with the sketch of the model and correct the silhouette by narrowing or widening the side seams.

Advice! When trying on, the side seams of the dress will be easier to adjust if you put on the product seamy side up. Pin off the seam allowances with pins, then carefully remove the garment and sew over the basting.

The need for the third and subsequent fittings depends on the complexity of the model, the quality of the fabric and the level of your professionalism. After finishing sewing the garment, remove all basting stitches, pins and wet-heat the garment.

We wish you to improve your sewing skills, because even experienced craftsmen there is always something to learn. Sew beautiful things and wear them with pleasure!
