Summer women's overalls: how to sew with your own hands

Jumpsuits are still in fashion, changing only the styles and colors, I will tell you how to sew a summer women's jumpsuit very quickly according to the figure. I am not a professional and have not studied sewing, but I will be happy to share with you a simple method of sewing this product.

How to sew a summer women's jumpsuit from knitted fabric with your own hands

For work you will need:

• knitted fabric: for a height of 156 cm, it took 1.8 m of fabric with a width of 1 m;
• linen elastic;
• scissors;
• threads;
• sewing machine.

Cut out the jumpsuit

A pattern of summer overalls can be found on the Internet, choosing the desired style and shape, or you can use another method and cut out the details using your clothes. This will significantly reduce the time of work, and one hundred percent will fit in size. To build a knitted jumpsuit pattern, it is better to use wide clothes so that the fabric gathers at the waist and does not fit the body, so the jumpsuit will look light and airy.

We begin to cut out the lower part of the future overalls. We fold the knitted fabric in half, the width of your trousers with a margin for allowances. We fold the trousers you have and apply them to the fold of the fabric so that there are no seams on the front of the thigh (you can increase the width of the trousers at your discretion, for this, simply attach the trousers a little further than the fold line of the fabric). Now we overestimate the waist line to the maximum (there will be a row of elastic bands here).

We fix the pants on the fabric with safety pins and transfer the design to the fabric with chalk or soap. Do not forget about allowances of 1.5-2 cm and cut out the details of the trousers. We need two symmetrical parts.

We cut out the upper part of the future overalls. We fold the knitwear according to the same principle as when cutting the bottom of the jumpsuit. We attach a jacket folded in half, pin it with safety pins and transfer the pattern to the fabric. Add allowances of 1.5-2 cm, cut out the details.

My back detail is slightly higher than the front detail. To do this, I just cut off the neck by 10cm.

We will also need two rectangles for straps measuring 7x20cm (you can make them wider, this is all up to you).

When all the details are cut out, you can safely proceed to sewing our product.

Sewing overalls

We grind the details of the trousers along the crotch seam. At the same time, I process all open sections with an overlay seam so that I don’t return to the same line a second time.

We connect the two legs together to form pants and process the open sections with an overlock or a zigzag seam.

Our trousers are almost ready.

Let's move on to the top part of the costume. Stitch the side seams.

Along the edges of the axillary armhole, we sew the straps so that they continue the neck line (not to the top, but to the sides).

We process the armholes in a circle with a double closed lapel or use an oblique trim for processing. On the bottom edge of the armhole, from the wrong side, we sew an elastic band. We use a zigzag stitch with a large step, pull the elastic band a little, you should get small gathers.

We process the neck in a circle, with a double lapel with a closed cut, so we form a backstage for inserting an elastic band. We leave a small gap in which we will thread the elastic. We put on a rubber band.

We process the lower open cut of the top with an overlay seam and the top is ready.

We return to the pants. We turn the upper edge (along the waist) inward and sew three lines of the backstage (more can be), leaving a gap for inserting the elastic.

We connect the overalls along the waist line.

We determine the length of the elastic bands by trying on, they should not press, so they should be attached to the waist and only slightly pulled. We insert the elastic bands into the drawstrings, you need to start from the top and end with the last strip, we sew the edges of the elastic bands into a ring.

We process the bottom of the legs with a double lapel with a closed cut, and leave a place for inserting an elastic band, if you want, you can leave the bottom free. I put in a rubber band.

Our jumpsuit is ready.

The most difficult thing for beginners is to build a pattern for women's overalls, and I hope that the method I described will be useful to you and you will start creating. Experiment with colors, styles, decor and your wardrobe will become unique. Good luck.
