Attention! When cutting parts, it is necessary to add seam allowances along all sections of 1.5 cm. The allowance for processing the lower cut of the sleeves depends on whether you will bend the sleeves and form them from the allowance for processing the cuffs. If the lining material strictly matches the color of the main one and along the bottom of the sleeve you decide to sew a finishing line and leave the sleeves without turn-down cuffs, then the processing allowance is 1.5 - 3.5 cm.

Approximate consumption of base material 3.0-4.0 meters (depending on size and height), with a canvas width of 150 cm.

Attention! The figure shows the arrangement of parts on the canvas for size/height – 44/170 cm.

To make a down jacket you will also need:

- lining material – 2.0 – 2.5 m;

Detachable zipper – 70-85 cm, depending on height;

Insulation - 2.5 - 3.5 m, depending on its width and the size and height of the product;

Buttons – 8 (9) pieces;

The zipper for attaching the hood is 35-45 cm, depending on the size (you need to measure the length of the lower cut of the hood part - 2 parts + insert);

Fur trim for a hood made of natural or faux fur.

Technological sequence of processing

1. Baste all the parts cut from the base material onto the insulation. Apply a pattern quilting stitch to all pieces on the right side of the material.

Attention! In the store you can find special felt-tip pens or crayons that are removed after heat treatment. You can apply a design, and after quilting, remove the lines with a warm iron.

Attention! To simplify the process of quilting the base material with insulation, try gluing it. Yes! I use a simple glue stick. I lightly lubricate the edges of the parts of the main material with glue from the wrong side, lay the insulation on it, press it and leave it for 5 minutes. You can also spot lubricate the material along the quilting lines. Don't overdo it! First try on lunges that will remain from cutting. Believe me, it really is easier this way.

2.Sew the quilting stitch according to the design. Stitch length is 0.4-0.5 cm (Fig. 1).

Attention! Do not tighten the thread, and if possible, use a walking foot.

Process the pockets on the shelves as shown in Fig. 2 and fig. 3.

Stitch the flap with the lining, turn the flap right side out and stitch the seam allowances of the flap stitching onto the lining;

Place the pockets you made on the shelf (Fig. 2), according to the control marks, and stitch the valve and burlap parts of the pocket to the shelf in sequence;

Stitch the topstitch seam allowances onto the lining;

Sew the burlap pocket pieces

Sew darts on the shelf in the area before and after the entry line into the pocket

Sew the front and back along the shoulder sections. Press seam allowances.

Sew the front and back of the coat along the side edges. Press seam allowances.

Determine the length of the strap by the length of the zipper. Stitch the sides of the zipper placket and iron it in half.

Baste and stitch the strip on the front side of the product along the neckline, strictly in the middle relative to the middle of the back, aligning the cuts;

Stitch one side of the zipper along the stitching edge of the placket

Stitch the front hem line and the back hem line along the sides. It is better to iron the seam allowances

Attention! Ironing operations must be treated very carefully. The process of ironing seams should not lead to flattening of the insulation.

Prepare the collar.

The collar assembly algorithm is classic and practically no different from processing the stand-up collar of a jacket:

Stitch the top post to the bottom along the edge, turn it right side out, sweep the edge and iron it.

Sew the top collar into the neck of the down jacket. Press the seam allowances onto the collar.

Process the fastener.

The design of the clasp is also quite simple. The right shelf is wider than the left by the width of the bar. The bar is designed for attaching buttons. A hem is sewn along the edge of the bar on the inside and one side of the zipper is inserted into this seam. The second side of the zipper is inserted into the stitching seam of the side edge of the left shelf (Fig. 4).

Rice. 4

- stitch one side of the zipper tape to the hem along the inner cut (line 1);

- stitch the bar to the hem (line 2);

- stitch the facing of the back neckline to the hems along the side edges;

- sew the lower stand into the hem and facing of the back neckline;

- grind the edge of the right flange with a hem, while simultaneously grinding the side of the collar;

Each of us can change our body weight. When a person loses weight or gains weight, he has to update his wardrobe. It is very unpleasant to feel that your favorite thing does not fit as before, or that it is simply impossible to put it on. This question is especially acute when it comes to outerwear.

Fitting a down jacket to your figure

With the onset of cold weather, we begin to take warm things out of the closet. It often turns out that they are small or large. For this reason, you have to change clothes by buying new ones. For example, a down jacket may suddenly turn out to be 1-2 sizes larger, and what to do in such a situation?

There are several options to solve the problem:

• buy a new thing;
• take it to a studio to have it tailored to your figure;
• sew it in with your own hands.

If the item was purchased recently, then there is no point in purchasing a new down jacket. It is much easier to take it to a workshop. There, specialists will be able to quickly and efficiently suture it. However, such a service from professionals will cost a hefty sum.

There is also a third option - sew the down jacket with your own hands. According to experts, fitting a down jacket to your figure is not much more difficult than other wardrobe items. However, for this you need to have certain sewing skills.

Required Tools

In order to fit a down jacket to your figure, you need to decide on the final size. In this case, you need to have items with which you can sew the product:

• sewing machine;
• scissors;
• ripper;
• interlining;
• iron.

To begin with, you should put on the item and look at yourself in the mirror. After this, decide on the width to which you plan to fit the down jacket. Excess fabric is measured with a ruler, after which the product is turned inside out. Warm winter clothes are sewn only at the side seams. The down jacket should be turned inside out and the lining should be carefully ripped open with small scissors.

Sewing a down jacket at home

There are down jackets that are treated with adhesive tapes on the inside. It is necessary to remove the glue from such a thing. If it remains, difficulties will arise in your work, because sewing over such fabric is much more difficult.

For further work, take tracing paper. It is applied from below and above the product - strictly along the seams. After this, use a pen to draw a stitching line directly on the tracing paper. The lowest point is also marked on the down jacket. Now you need to mark half the distance from the edge of the stitching to the fit line. Use a pen to connect two points. It is very important to do this so that later there are no gathers in the allowance area on the front side of the product.

Next, one line is made on the machine along the intended line, after which the tracing paper is removed. Now all that remains is to remove the factory stitching. This is done with scissors or a steam ripper from the bottom up. Then the allowance is cut off 1 cm from the new line.

In many products, the seam is stitched from the inside with duplicating material. In this case, it must be restored using an iron and non-woven tape. To prevent the iron from leaving marks on the product, it should not be held in one place for too long. The allowance is glued in a zigzag manner.

There is a seam on the lining of the down jacket through which it can be turned inside out. Then it should be ripped open and the lining should be sewn along the side seams at the same distance. The lining is then connected to the outside and to both sides of the product. That's it, the hole can be sewn up completely.

If suturing is being done for the first time, experts recommend pinning the excess part with needles during fitting. You can draw a stitching line using a piece of dry soap. It is carried out near the seam, outlining the planned shape of the product. If there are reliefs at the back of the down jacket, then the seams will have to be aligned.

The lining is ripped out, as are the side seams of the garment. Then it is folded right side out, and a stitch is made in the intended place. When gripping the lining, all stitches must converge. This will allow you to get excellent results. Now the down jacket can be turned inside out.

After finishing work, you should carefully inspect the product. There should be no pieces of fabric or thread sticking out there. If everything is in order, then the down jacket is ready for use. Children's down jackets are also sutured.

It is worth considering that down products have different thicknesses, and the down itself is enclosed in a capsule, and when it is damaged, the product becomes unusable. You should also choose the right threads and accessories. If you don’t have sewing skills, you shouldn’t risk it so as not to completely ruin the item.

Remaking things in the studio

To be comfortable in a warm product, it must fit your figure well. If suddenly such a thing has become large, and there are doubts that you will be able to redo it yourself, then it is better to trust the specialists.

Typically, the studio accepts products of all styles and types, with any filling, from various materials. Specialists adjust the item to your figure, adjust the fit of the sleeves, the volume in the chest, waist and hips. Sometimes the zipper is replaced.

Any finished item has its own characteristics - decor, type of stitching, tags.

Specialists will not only be able to adjust the product to size, but will also transfer all elements, for example, pockets. The studio adjusts the item according to the client’s height, and also eliminates wear defects. At the request of the customer, the item can be completely altered. The inspector assesses the complexity of the work and, together with the client, selects the optimal solution. After that, he announces the final cost of the work. If the contract has not yet been signed, the client has the right to refuse services. Many studios accept urgent orders, which are completed fairly quickly, depending on workload.

If we talk about the cost of services in the studio, it will be much lower than buying a new product. The end result will be great and the down jacket will fit perfectly.

How to sew a down jacket

You can sew a down jacket at home. To do this, you need to accurately determine the size of the final item. You need to prepare your sewing machine, scissors and get to work.

You will need it

• - scissors;
• - sewing machine;
• - steam ripper;
• - iron;
• - flezilin.

Put the item on. Look at yourself in the mirror. If you want to sew in a down jacket, then you need to specify what width to do it at. Pinch the fabric of the product between your index finger and thumb at the side seam. Measure the required number of cm to sew the down jacket.

Remove the product. Turn it inside out. Using small scissors, rip away the lining fabric. Peel off the allowance left for the hem. Not all internal seams are processed using adhesive. But if there is an adhesive component, it must be carefully removed, as the glue will interfere with sewing.

Place two sheets of tracing paper on the bottom and top of the seams of the product. On tracing paper, draw a tapering line with a sharp pencil or ballpoint pen. When finished, place a dot on the bottom. Then mark 50% of the length from the taper stitch strip to the last piece. Connect all the dots in the figure. This is necessary to insure against the appearance of assemblies.

Make a line along the intended strip. Remove the tracing paper.

Remove the factory line by moving the steamer from bottom to top. At a distance of about a centimeter from the new line, you need to cut off the allowance. If the seam has been taped from the inside, then you need to stick non-woven linen on this place using an iron. Do not hold the iron for a long time in one place, otherwise there will be marks.

In order to sew the down jackets, you need to open the seam on the lining fabric, through which the product can be unscrewed. Then sew in the lining to the same length as the down jacket itself. Connect the lining from the outside to the right and left. Carefully sew up the hole.

If you are sewing a down jacket for the first time, then during fitting, pin the excess part of the fabric with needles. Then, using dry soap, draw a line near the seams, drawing a new shape.

Advice for newcomers: the lining must be ripped out in the same way as the side seams. Before making a line, the product must be folded right side to right side. Then sew it on the machine. You need to do the same with the lining. After which the down jacket simply unscrews.

After work, carefully inspect the product to see if the feather spines are sticking out. Children's down jackets are sutured according to the same principle as adults.

If you are not convinced that you can repeat all the manipulations, then contact the studio. There they will help you sew your down jacket perfectly.

Should I make my jacket a size smaller? what's easier!!!

I don’t even know if this MK of mine will be needed, but autumn is coming, which means we will need a jacket... And it doesn’t always fit us in size, and sometimes it just tore along the side seam or sleeve. Well, which is easier to sew up or suture?

It's just the lining that gets in the way. And often we sew the seams over the edge on the front side or just have our wide jacket hanging on hangers in the closet... But it turns out that everything is so easy to fix. To begin with, we decide on what seams and how long we will sew our jacket. Then turn the jacket inside out

and then turn out one of the sleeves (I most often do this with the left one)

rip the lining along the seam on the sleeve to a distance of 15-20 cm

We turn the entire jacket inside out through the resulting hole; if there are fastenings, use ribbons under the armhole to carefully tuck them in

And we sew the jacket to the required distance along the side seam, if necessary in the center of the back or reliefs. Or maybe we’ll just sew up a seam that was torn during wear?

turn the jacket back through the same hole as before, fold the lining on the sleeve, aligning the folds of the sections, and stitch exactly to the edge using a machine (make sure that both layers of fabric are captured by the stitching). stitches

the seam will not be visible at all, and when we turn the jacket right side out, no one will guess that there is a seam in your sleeve through which you turned your jacket inside out 15 minutes ago, and the entire suturing procedure will take you no more than 15 minutes ...

And your jacket will now become a couple of sizes smaller, or rather Already...

But the jacket can not only be sewn in, but can also be shortened... All through the same small hole in the sleeve. I will show you how to shorten a sleeve with a cuff. Of course, first of all, we need to determine by what length we will reduce the length, then we need to rip the bottom and turn the jacket inside out. Here the sequence may be different. I always turn it inside out first, then rip it out. After the bottom of the sleeve is opened and the cuffs are removed, we measure the required length of the sleeve, we start measuring directly from the cut, and not from the sewing seam, so that there is a seam allowance left.

Draw a line and cut off the excess

Shorten the lining to the same length

We put the cuff into the sleeve with the wrong side of the cuff towards the front side of the sleeve, align the cuts

and sew with a seam of 0.7-1 cm, cut the threads... Don’t reassure yourself that you can leave the threads, because they won’t be visible... you’ll still know that they’re hanging out inside. Remember that mastery comes from the little things.

Next, connect the sleeve and the lining, matching the seams and aligning the cuts. In this case, the front side of the lining should be inside the seam, and the previously sewn cuff will be placed between the lining and the sleeve... be careful not to twist the lining when joining, otherwise you won’t be able to put on the jacket later... You can pin it, but I prefer it in such places sweep away. Sew on a typewriter

turn the hole inside out and sew it up

cuff turns to the front side

And now your jacket has its original appearance, the only difference is that the sleeves are shorter

How to sew a down jacket

Every person has the ability to change shape: someone loses weight, someone gets better. As a result, it turns out that the clothes either need to be changed or sewn in. As soon as the cold weather sets in, you have to take out warm clothes, and then it turns out that the down jacket has become 1 or 2 sizes larger and needs to be sewn in. When starting this activity, prepare everything you need and try it on again to determine exactly how big it is.

You will need

Scissors; - sewing machine.

Instructions

Sewing a down jacket is quite simple. Pinch the excess fabric between your index finger and thumb and measure with a ruler. The extra centimeters need to be sutured along the side seams. Turn the down jacket inside out, use small scissors to carefully open the lining, and peel off the hem allowance.

Not all interior seam products are treated with adhesive tape, but if it is present, you need to remove the glue as best as possible, otherwise sewing on glued fabric will be difficult.

Take tracing paper and place pieces of it on top and bottom to the seams of the down jacket. Draw the tapering line of the down jacket with a pen directly on the tracing paper, mark the bottom point in the finished form, then mark half the distance from the tapering line to the edge. Connect the dots with a pen. This must be done to ensure that there are no gathers in the allowance area on the front side. Now make one line along the marked line, then remove the tracing paper.

After this, remove the factory stitching by moving the seam ripper or scissors from bottom to top. Trim the seam allowance 1 cm from the new stitch. If the seam of the down jacket was taped from the inside with duplicating material, then it is necessary to restore this using a strip of non-woven fabric and an iron. You should not keep the iron in one place for a long time, as marks may remain. It is better to glue the allowance in a zigzag manner.

There is a seam on the lining through which the product turns inside out; it needs to be ripped open and the lining sewn along the side seams at the same distance. After this, you can connect the lining to the outer part on both sides of the down jacket. Finally, sew up the hole.

Those who sew clothes on their own for the first time can be advised to pin up with needles the part of the fabric that is superfluous during fitting. Then, using dry soap, you should draw lines near the seams, outline a new shape, and if there are reliefs at the back of the down jacket, then the seams will have to be aligned. The lining rips open, as do the side seams. Then they are folded right side out and a stitch is made in the intended place, then the same manipulations should be done with the lining. After which the down jacket is simply turned inside out.

Repairing a tear in a down jacket What happened: a tear in the front fabric of the down jacket. What they did: disconnected the top fabric from the bag with down. A stitch was made at the site of the tear and stitched back up. For symmetry, a similar seam was made on the other side.

Repair of a leather jacket What happened: the leather on the product was torn. What they did: they installed a glued patch. Industrial leather adhesive was used to install the patch. For the patch, a flap of a similar color made of genuine leather was used. Next, the patch was stitched into place. To do this, we tore off the lining fabric, carried out the necessary work and sewed the lining back.

Industrial leather adhesive was used to install the patch. For the patch, a flap of a similar color made of genuine leather was used. Next, the patch was stitched into place. To do this, we tore off the lining fabric, carried out the necessary work and sewed the lining back. The required shade of liquid skin was selected from 3 colors: red, brown and yellow. The remaining liquid skin was removed with a scalpel, and the seam was cleaned.

Repairing a fabric jacket What happened: a tear in the fabric in the elbow area in the form of a triangle. What they did: they installed 2 oval-shaped patches from the “native” fabric. The fabric for the patch was taken from the wrong side of the jacket. To do this, the back part of the lining was ripped open and the material from this area was used to install the patch. On the reverse side of the jacket, which served as a “donor” for the patch, a fabric similar in composition, density, texture and color was installed. In place of the rupture, cushioning material was installed on the inside to strengthen it. Next, a darning operation was performed, and a “native” patch was installed on top.

Repair of a windbreaker What happened: multiple tissue tears in the armpit area. What they did: they put a patch from the “native” fabric. Since the sleeves of the windbreaker were wrapped twice (they were too long for the client), the fabric of this part served as a “donor” for the patch. The sleeve length was made ¾. Next, we prepared a structurally suitable wedge-shaped element for replacement, ripped apart part of the jacket, removed the fabric with multiple tears, sewed in a patch and sewed the jacket back up.

Repair of a leather jacket What happened: there was a large error under the right sleeve - a tear. What they did: a flap of leather was placed on the wrong side, pre-lubricated with glue, the edges of the tear were laid end-to-end, fixed on the placed flap, left to dry, making sure that the edges of the tear match up. Upon completion, the area is treated with leather impregnation, spray and gloss.

How to sew a leather jacket with your own hands?

It often happens that your favorite item becomes too big in size and does not fit your body type. Sometimes we get clothes from relatives or are bought in a hurry at a sale, but then it turns out that they are too tight on the shoulders or are not the right length. Don’t throw quality products into a landfill because of this. You can solve the problem yourself. Today we will tell you how to sew a leather jacket with your own hands at home, without resorting to the services of expensive workshops.

How to sew a jacket yourself?

Is your favorite item not quite the right size for you, or is it torn along the sleeve or side seam? Let's find out how to sew a padding polyester jacket with your own hands if the lining gets in the way. Some people can simply sew up the edges on the front side, which doesn’t look very nice, while others leave the item hanging in the closet. In reality, this problem is easy to solve.

You will need to perform a few simple manipulations:

1. First of all, determine which seams and how specifically you want to sew the jacket.
2. Then turn the product inside out, turn out one of the sleeves, and spread the lining along the seam on the sleeve at a distance of 20 cm.
3. Through the resulting hole, turn the entire jacket inside out; if there are any fastenings on it, then carefully support them with the help of ribbons under the armhole.
4. Sew the product along the side seam to the required distance. If necessary, reduce it along the reliefs or the center of the back.
5. If the seam comes apart when you wear it, turn the jacket back through this hole and fold the lining over the sleeve, trying to align the folds of the sections.
6. Sew the product precisely along the edges using a machine, making sure that the stitching covers both layers of fabric.
7. Turn it right side out.

This procedure will not take you more than 15 minutes, but your jacket will become several sizes smaller.

Carry out the work according to these instructions:

• First, determine how much length you want to reduce, then open the hem and turn the jacket inside out.

Important! The sequence of actions may be different, but it is better to first turn it out and then tear it apart.

• Take out the cuff, measure the required length of the sleeve, measure the required distance from the cut so that there is room left for the seam.
• Draw a line, cut off the excess.
• Shorten the lining to the same length.
• Place the cuff with the wrong side of the sleeve facing the right side. Align the cuts, sew with a regular seam, cut the threads.
• Attach the sleeve to the lining, aligning the cuts and matching the seams. It is important that the front side of the lining is inside the seam of the previously sewn cuff between the sleeve and the lining.

Important! The main thing is not to twist the lining during the joining process, otherwise you will not be able to put on the jacket later.

• Sew on the machine, turn the product inside out, sew up the hole, turn the cuff right side out.

Your favorite jacket looks like new again, only the sleeves are much shorter.

Important! The same actions can be done with the bottom of clothes or replace the collar.

How to make a jacket smaller at the shoulders?

It also happens that any thing is too big for you in the shoulders, they puff up or hang down unattractively, making the silhouette sloppy, flabby, and simply ugly. If you have basic sewing skills and have a great desire to save money, you can independently figure out how to sew a jacket at the shoulders with your own hands.

Do the following:

1. Take your measurements. Measure the distance from the base of the neck to where the shoulder line intersects with the armhole. Measure the depth of the armhole from the very top in the armpit area to the intersection point of the neck and shoulder lines on the back side.
2. Remove the shoulder pads.
3. Open the lining. Open the side seam by 15 cm in the sleeve area.
4. Determine the new size of your armhole. This is done simply: place the shoulder pad on your shoulder, keeping in mind that its dense part should be a centimeter away from it. Raise the resulting edging and fasten it on both sides to the shoulder seam.
5. Place marks on the fabric inside the lining, mark the new shoulder line, dart lines, and sleeve size on the sides.
6. Open the sleeves, sew along the marked lines of the sides, cut off the excess, and sew them back in.
7. Sew the shoulder pads by hand, making sure that they are located at the protrusion of the seam of the edging, and a little further from the seam there is a dense part.
8. Finish the darts. Sew them, steam the seams.
9. Try on the jacket, if everything is good, then sew the sleeves using a machine.

Such manipulations will not cause you any particular difficulties if you have basic skills.

• The next step is to measure the narrowest part of your waist, making sure to grab it as tightly as possible without tightening it too much.
• Next, you should put the product on inside out and apply all the marks, using pins to mark the new side lines.
• Then it is turned inside out, tried on again, all seams are sewn according to the marks.

Important! If the item fits perfectly at the waist, but dangles in the chest area, then you will have to work a little with the darts, if any, or make them yourself. You should retreat 1-2 cm from the existing darts and stitch them again, moving the triangular darts. The material for this is selected to the required distance from the former seam, and then fixed. The new dart is stitched along the old line at a distance of 1 cm.

With these simple steps you can give your old jacket a new shape and continue to wear it with great pleasure.

The original appearance of a jacket purchased in a regular store:

Sleeve update

First of all, we tear off the sleeves from the jacket.

Then we rip off the cuffs at the bottom of the sleeves.

We tear off the old inserts on the sleeves to replace them with new ones.

When sewing the jacket, the inserts were connected by machine stitching to padding polyester, so you need to tear the padding polyester away from the fabric.

We cut out new inserts from the finishing fabric, using the old inserts as a pattern.

We connect the cut out inserts with padding polyester.

Pin and stitch the inserts on the sleeves, following the old stitches as a guide. Make sure that the finishing stitches on the sleeves are at the same level when sewing.

Place finishing stitches on the front side. To get rid of marks from old stitches, gently steam them with an iron, while slightly touching the fabric itself. This way you will not only get rid of stitch marks, reduce the thickness of the seams and direct the seam allowances in the right directions.

Connection with cuffs

Pin the cuffs at the bottom of the sleeves.

Sew the seams on the sleeves so that the horizontal/diagonal lines along the sleeves match when sewn. Iron the seams, do not press the sole of the iron too hard, as the padding polyester will deform under the influence of temperature and steam.

Processing a pocket on a sleeve

The pocket on the sleeve of ski suits is designed to store your lift pass when skiing or snowboarding. This pocket is made on the left sleeve so as not to take out the pass card every time when going on the ski lift.

On the sleeve, mark the location of the pocket with 3 lines, cut along the center line with scissors, not reaching the limiting lines by 1.0 - 1.5 cm. Next, cut into a corner, not reaching the limiting line by 0.2 cm.

For the convenience of further processing of the pocket, sew lines along the lines and sew in a zipper, bending the allowances.

Cut the burlap for the pocket (10.0 cm) and sew it from the wrong side to the pocket entrance allowances.

On the front side, place finishing stitches 0.1 cm from the zipper, which will secure the zipper tape and burlap.

From the wrong side, connect the burlap together and sew on a machine.

From the front side, fold the corners to the wrong side and attach the fastenings with a zigzag stitch.

Updating the shelf and back

Replacing decorative inserts on the back

Before you start updating the back, shorten the back at the bottom to the desired length, taking into account the processing allowances. In this case, the bottom of the jacket will be finished with a facing, so 1.0 cm will be enough. Shorten the back lining exactly as much as you shortened the back itself.

Open the inserts and the yoke on the back. Open the side seams and connect the inserts to the padding polyester using the above method. Connect the inserts to the back parts and add finishing stitches.

Sew the yoke to the back and add finishing stitches.

Replacing decorative inserts on a shelf

The process of updating the shelf is almost identical to the process of updating the back. The only nuance is the zippered pockets in the raised seams.

Therefore, you will have to be patient and carefully monitor the technology in the photo.

Open up the inserts on the shelf, ripping out the yoke and pockets with zippers.

Open the zipper on the jacket.

Immediately shorten the bottom of the shelf to the desired length, leaving an allowance at the bottom of 1.0 cm. According to the model, the bottom of the shelf is shorter than the back and is formed with a curly line. Therefore, cut off the excess in advance to avoid wasting fabric on inserts. Shorten the shelf lining by the same amount as the shelf itself. Mark the new location of the pockets along the raised seams.

Zipper pocket treatment

Sew one part of the zipper to the side part of the shelf.

At one time we sew one side of the pocket burlap.

Then we sew the second part of the zipper to the front part of the shelf and the second side of the pocket burlap.

This is what should happen:

From the wrong side, connect the ends of the pocket zipper to the ends of the inserts. Be guided by the intended upper and lower control lines, which determine the distance of entry into the pocket.

Now, you need to stitch the decorative inserts on the shelf using the previously mentioned method.

Place finishing stitches along the seams.

And along the line of entry into the pocket.

Connection with yoke

Sew the yoke to the shelf. Place finishing stitches on the front side.

Connect the front and back along the side seams, align the bottom.

If, when connecting the side seams on the front side, there are cuts and punctures from the old stitching, then they can be decoratively masked:

Setting in sleeves

After the front, back and sleeves have been updated, you can begin to connect the sleeves to the product.

Find the centers on the sleeves, align them with the shoulder seams, and the sleeve seam with the side seams. Pin and tuck the sleeves into the armholes so that there is a slight fit at the top of the sleeves. This will provide the sleeves with a rise at the top and eliminate creases at the armholes. Sew the sleeves into the armholes on the sleeve side.

Connection with lining

Connecting the lining to the sleeves

Turn the sleeves of the product inside out, align the seams of the sleeves with the seams of the sleeves on the lining. Connect the bottom of the sleeve lining to the sleeves of the product along the seam of the cuff, in a circle from the wrong side. Thus, the sections of the cuffs, the bottom of the sleeves and the bottom of the lining sleeves will be on the inside.

On the wrong side, secure the seam allowances connecting the sleeves with the lining to the vertical allowances inside the sleeve.

Bottom processing

Cut out the facing according to the shape of the bottom of the jacket from the finishing fabric, 4.0 cm wide.

Stitch the facing to the bottom of the lining, but before doing this, cut the lining along the shelves near the hems to a width of 3.0 cm and smoothly move the line to the bottom cut.

When connecting the facing with the edgings vertically, the facing should coincide with the bottom of the edgings and not interfere with the length of the lining on the shelves.

On the front side of the facing, lay a machine fluff. Continue the side seams on the lining along with the facing.

What is machine fluff, consult the dictionary: and

Then connect the facing to the bottom of the product.

How to sew a zipper into a jacket

We sew one part of the zipper to the front part, as usual, using a one-sided foot.

The second part of the zipper is sewn in almost the same way, but the problem is in the buttons. They are too close to the seam. Therefore, in places where there are buttons, the zipper will not have to be sewn. From the reverse side it will look like this:

When connecting, the stitching will go in those places where it is most accessible, as close to the buttons as possible.

Next you need to sew the lining to the zipper. There are two ways: you can sew the zipper in one step, baste the zipper to the product, baste the lining and sew it with one line. Second option: sew on the zipper first, then sew on the lining.

After one side of the zipper with the buttons is sewn in, you need to attach the lining to the other part of the zipper. If you do this at first, it will be difficult to process the zipper with buttons.

Turn the jacket right side out, backing the seam on one of the sleeves. After which the seam must be sewn on a machine.

On the front side of the zipper with buttons, in the places of the buttons, cut out the zipper tape as shown below:

Carefully melt the sections with matches or a lighter.

Then carefully sew the zipper to the product with hidden stitches so that it is inside.

Place finishing stitches on both sides of the zipper.
