Sleeve length .................... 18
Width " ..................... 11

For the next two age periods of development of the child add for each dimension the length and width of the sheet: 2 cm, to measure the length and width of the sleeve 1 cm, as indicated in the table below.

Seat dimensions Measure in cm for children

Simple vest cut out on the back recommended for children under 3 months. It consists of a mill and two sleeves.

In the drawing a simple vests, you need to draw a rectangle in strict accordance with the length and width of the sheet, and the angles denoted by the letters A, B, G, (Fig. 7). Segments AB and GV equal to the length of the pins, and the segments AG and BV - width.
 

 The first auxiliary line. This line divides the body into back and front. From point A to defer to the right of the horizontal half cut of AH plus 1.5 cm, and this point is denoted by the letter D.

From point D draw a vertical dotted line.

 The second auxiliary line. Line defines the top part of the shoulder. To defer from point A down the vertical line of 1/10 of the AH and supply point.

From point E the right to conduct a dotted horizontal line to the intersection with the vertical line of guards. The point of intersection with the vertical dashed line denoted by the letter Z.

 a Third auxiliary line determines the depth of the armhole. From point A down the vertical to defer half line AG minus 1.5 cm and place the point 3. From point 3 to the right to hold a dotted horizontal line to the intersection with line guards. The intersection of this line with the dotted vertical line drawn from the point D, denoted by the letter I.

After drawing auxiliary lines to build the drawing details.

Drawing simple backless vests 

Drawing back is based on the left half of the rectangle ABC.

 Neck. From the point A to the right horizontally to postpone 1/3 of the line AD plus 1 cm and put an end A.

In the same way from point A to postpone to bottom vertically 1/2 of the line AE. The resulting point is connected to point A concave curve line, which will be the neck.

 Shoulder line. The line obtained when connecting the dots A and J. From point W to be postponed to the left on the slant line 1.5 cm and put an end To, cut AK denotes the length of the shoulder backless.

 Line of the armhole of the back. It is formed when connecting point To point And a smooth curve line.

Vertical line AB is the middle of the back, and the line GW - mid-front vests.

A drawing of the front simple vests

A drawing of the front building on the right half of the rectangle ABC.

 Neck. From point G to the left horizontally to postpone the cut, equal cut AA minus 2 cm and put an end G.

From point G to defer down vertically the same. The resulting point is connected to point G a smooth curve line, which will be the neck.

 Shoulder line. From point F upward to postpone 1 cm and put the Received point L. point L to connect with the point G a straight line. This line right from point L to postpone 1.5 cm and put an end CH, cut KG will be the shoulder line of the front of the vests.

 Line of the armhole of the front. Shown in the drawing a smooth curve line connecting point C and I.

the Drawing sleeve plain vests 

As a rule, drawing the sleeves perform at half the rate, and when cutting use cutting out the sleeve completely. To get the full pattern sleeves in the left corner of the paper leaving a free space equal to the width of the sleeve.

In the drawing the sleeves, you need to draw a rectangle ABGW (Fig. 8). The vertical lines of the rectangle equal to the length of the sleeve, the horizontal width of the sleeve.
 

 Line of the armhole sleeves. From point To bottom vertically to postpone 1/3 of the line AB, the point denoted by the letter D. Connecting point a with point D a smooth curve line, get the line lifts the shoulders.

 The line side of the slice. From point G to deviate to the left by 2 cm and the obtained point is connected to point D. the Oblique line will be the line side of the cut sleeves.

 Line the middle of the sleeves. It is marked on the figure by the line connecting points A and B.

The figure shows only half sleeves. If you connect two such patterns, discover pattern sleeve completely.

Drawing the sheet with the invoice back

For infants older than 3 months. closed sew more vests. A sample of such women can serve as a vest with the invoice back (Fig. 9).
 

Drawing such vests based on the type of ordinary vests.

To build the backrest, in this case a horizontal line BG must continue to the left by a length equal to the line AA, and set a letter B. From the point B draw a vertical line to the horizontal line passing through the points A and B.

The neckline (Fig. 10) vests with the invoice back build same as the simple neck undershirts.
 

For this you need to extend a horizontal line passing through the points A, E, B left, a distance equal to the length of the segment EC. The ends of the horizontal lines connecting vertical line.

Neck front and armhole build just like ordinary vests.

Vests with the invoice back well close the back of the child.

Cutting of blouse

For infants, especially up to 3 months, you can use this white cloth, which were well washed and were stable after boiling. Before you reveal the fabric should be carefully removed in the direction of the longitudinal yarns. The fabric needs to be folded in half across the width, bend to position the pattern while the middle line of the back fold of the fabric. The shoulder line of the back to connect the shoulder line of the front (Fig. 11). The folded width of the fabric should be equal to the width of the pattern plus the seam. The following margins are in cm: 2 - 3 - for sleeves; 1 - 1,5 - along the lines of the shoulder;0,5 - neck, etc.
 

In cases when the vest back slit fabric cut out in the following way: the right half of the back cut out on the middle of the back, leaving the seam allowance; the left half of the back cut out, with some allowance for the invoice part, as shown in the drawing pattern.

The pattern sleeve is placed on the fabric at common thread, as shown in Fig. 11. The pattern is fixed on the fabric with pins, applied with a stipple cut lines and then cut the fabric.

Tailoring of vests

Once clearly drawn line sections and the seam, proceed to the connection of the individual parts.

The side sections necessarily smatyvay and sew a lapped seam. Bottom sleeveless vests, cut edges back or front tied thread or manually sew a narrow seam, turning the fabric on the front side. Hand stitch is preferred because it is much more flexible machine. The seam of the neckline and armholes grind podkralas slash a strip of cloth, placing it on the front side. On the collar sew the soft ribbon or ribbons are United. Ready models of clothes shown in Fig. 12.
 

Bakey are single and double. For clothes use a single bakey, which is much softer than the double. To obtain the single and double welts cut strips of fabric in the oblique direction share threads. The length of the strips choose according to the style of the product, and the width do not exceed 2 cm (Fig. 13). Strips of cloth to grind the grain direction of the fabric (Fig. 14). Seams rautureau (Fig. 15).

Single bake sew in the following way: one edge bakey primetyvajut (Fig. 16), then pritachivajut on the machine (Fig. 17) and the other manually sew hidden stitches and priorivet.
 

Double bake first fold across the width by half, priorivet, is applied to the obverse or reverse side of the product, aligning the seam of the neck and bakey, primetyvajut and pritachivajut. Then bake turn on the obverse or the reverse and manually sew hidden stitches.

Before vests can be embroidered or decorated with appliqué. Features embroidery on the collar or on the upper part of the front of the vests. Perform a light embroidery thread or yarn in the color of the fabric to avoid stains on the vest during washing and especially when boiling linen.

In cases when embroider colored thread, select the thread whose color stable on boiling and washing.
