DIY projects #1 : Sewing patterns
Since one of you asked for more steps-to-steps projects, here’s one as a starter : how to make your very own sewing patterns !
1) First start by choosing one of your favourite tank, just simple sewings. Use some kraft paper to draw your pattern. Hide the sleeves (see below), draw dots for the actual size of your tank.
2) Then draw a full line (2cm next to the dots) because you’ll need some extra fabric to sew it ! Never forget that… And if you’re not sure, it’s always best to see things bigger than they are, otherwise you’ll have to do it all over again if it’s too small.
3) Now, separately, draw the sleeves, make sure to fold your paper so you’ll have like a card that opens up. Iron all your stuff (with a fabric on paper), so they all stay in shapes. Write down the parts of the tank, it’ll be easier to assemble them later.
4) Now you have all the sewing patterns you need to sew your own tank. Start with a loose and comfy one, because tube/skinny things aren’t the easiest.
Hope you liked it, next time I’m gonna post my steps as I’m making this tank !
Let me know what you think ;)
