WHAT KIND OF FABRIC TO CHOOSE FOR THE FUTURE SET

Depends on the model. We advise you to choose breathable fabrics that are pleasant to the body. They should stretch well and return to their original shape. Fabrics can be combined with each other, getting interesting combinations : guipure and satin, knitwear and delicate lace, microfiber and mesh.

Before sewing, decature the fabric so that the product does not shrink after washing. It is easy to do this - iron a piece of fabric from which you are going to sew with an iron with abundant steam.

PATTERNS, TOOLS AND ACCESSORIES


There are nuances in the technology of sewing underwear. It requires painstaking, almost jewelry work. You can take a ready-made pattern and adjust it to yourself, you can design it yourself or decompose the finished product into parts at the seams.

Choose needles marked "stretch” or” knitwear" No. 70-80. Take high-strength and thin threads, so as not to feel them on the body. The edge is processed with a zigzag seam, other parts are sewn with a regular flat on a typewriter or processed with an overlock, you can use a double needle on a conventional typewriter. The length of the stitch is 2-2. 5 mm, for finishing stitches 3 mm, after each stitch, make fasteners. Small accessories are sewn on the same function as buttons.


A set of guipure is suitable for beginners who are mastering the manufacture of underwear. Most often, such sets are made without bones and foam rubber, they look romantic and gentle. Guipure is a light, wear-resistant fabric, it holds its shape well, it does not require processing of the edges, as it has beautiful coupons. This is not in the hands of experienced seamstresses.

FEATURES OF SEWING A BRA

The bra can be of different styles : bralet, bandeau, top, triangular cups, balcony, push-up, with a soft cup, with modified straps.


In addition to the fabric for the bra, you will need :

Straps, usually 2, but there are models where they can be removed or more weaves can be made .
The clasp, depending on the size of the chest and girth, the clasp can be wide by 4 loops, or it can be narrow by 1;
Regulators on the straps will provide comfort in movement and fix the optimal position of the bodice.
For panties in the set:
* Gusset, I advise you to use natural materials and do it in 2 layers;
* Elastic band.
If desired, you can decorate the set with satin ribbons or other accessories.

UNDERWIRE BRA AND TANGO PANTIES

You will need more accessories for this kit:

Ready-made cups of the appropriate size
Frame
Frame grid
Tunnel tape
Straps
Edging elastic band
Clasp
Length regulators for straps
Rings
Various decorative ribbons, if desired, decorate the bodice.

Microfiber, knitwear or satin will be suitable from the materials, use openwork elements from guipure for the decoration of the cup. This is not a complete list, but our recommendations, it all depends on your imagination and desires. For the lining and gusset, use fabrics that are pleasant to the body. As we wrote earlier, take the lining material in two layers. Sewing a bra on a bone with cups is suitable for experienced seamstresses.

You will need a household machine and an overlock for processing seams.

Panties can be made in two ways: draw a sketch and make a pattern according to the measurements or take the finished product as a basis, cut it and transfer it to the fabric.

COTTON SET

You may think that this is a boring version of underwear that will not look attractive. You're wrong. The styles of cotton sets can be very diverse and look no worse than lace ones.

From the accessories we will need:

elastic band for panties and bra;
cotton fabric.
Look at the composition of the fabric, it should not be rough, too dense and prickly.
For manufacturing, we will need a sewing machine and an overlock. The “zig-zag " function will help to sew an elastic band to the edge of the product. If desired, you can decorate the edges with lace or decorative stitching.

If you do not know how to sew, but are eager to learn, come to the school “I want to sew“. You will find cutting and sewing courses for any level of training. There is a separate course for making underwear from scratch. He explains in detail how to make something magical out of an ordinary piece of fabric.
