Artistic gymnasts, for whom sport is a matter of life, devote the lion's share of time to training and participation in competitions. Over this period, they manage to demolish more than a dozen gymnastic swimsuits. Therefore, the mothers of young athletes constantly face the problem of purchasing "overalls". And if with the form for training everything is more or less clear (it can be bought in a sports shop), the outfits for competitions are a task with an asterisk. And you can solve it by sewing the right outfit with your own hands.

Where to begin?

This will help design a swimsuit for rhythmic gymnastics. But before you do it, you should buy the right material and thread (nylon fits). Usually, for sewing such outfits, choose a supplex or a mesh, but polyamide can be used in combination with lycra and cotton. Let us consider in more detail how to build a pattern of a swimsuit for rhythmic gymnastics.

First, we will define the sketch of the costume (this is an important point, since there are rules approved by the technical committee, to their design and cut).

Features

So, the pattern of a swimsuit for rhythmic gymnastics Should correspond to the following nuances:

1. Correct design, the transparency of the material of the swimsuit from neck to chest is not allowed.
2. Gymnastic swimsuits with thin straps are forbidden.
3. On the chest, the maximum depth of the cutout should not be below the middle of the chest, on the back - the tip of the blades.
4. The lower part of the swimsuit can not be with a neckline, above the inguinal folds.
5. Swimsuit for rhythmic gymnastics should be cut along the contours of the trunk, not a magnificent skirt is allowed.
6. Suits should be the same length on both sides, covering the legs, but you can use different patterns or ornament.

Of course, you can simplify your task, because on the Internet for a small amount of money there is always a basic ready-made pattern of a swimsuit for rhythmic gymnastics. But, if you still decide to go all the way on your own, the detailed instructions on cutting and tailoring will help. Do not be redundant and expert advice.

Advice

To make a swimsuit fit well after a cut, it is very scrupulous to take measurements and build a pattern that exactly matches the size.

Besides:

• Sports swimsuit is sewn without darts and only with the main seams, since they (though insignificantly) bind the movements, which is not very convenient for gymnasts.
• It is better if the base is solid, then on top of it it is convenient to sew a skirt and adjust it higher or lower for a more favorable fit.
• The cutout for the sleeve should fit tightly under the armpit.
• The skirt is better to do asymmetric (behind is longer than in front).
• Thoughtful stylish design in itself looks expensive and profitable, and then you need to decorate the product at a minimum, which will save on consumables.

Pattern of swimsuit for rhythmic gymnastics: step by step instruction

Any pattern starts with measurements. So, we measure and record: chest girth, waist, sleeve length.

1. The next step is to build a preliminary pattern of paper patterns. To do this, you need to take the most comfortable panties of your young athlete and draw them along the contour on paper from both sides, slightly increasing the cutout on the hips. This is done so that during the speeches nothing hinders the movements of the gymnast.
2. In the creation of the top of the swimsuit will help the old T-shirt daughter. It is necessary to put it next to the pattern of panties on paper and similarly draw along the contour (following the proportionality of the two parts of the leotard). T-shirt sleeves extend to the desired size along the side seam.

The resulting pattern is cut out and applied to the fabric. Adding 2 cm to the allowances, we cut from it the individual halves of the leotard. In order not to spoil the knitwear, it is better to circle the pattern.

The final stage

"Draft" of the swimsuit is tried on the daughter (previously swept away) and note the intended depth of the neck chalk, we measure the length of its circumference and cut out the appropriate strips for the back (width - about 5 cm).

Next, the design of a swimsuit for rhythmic gymnastics involves the processing of the lateral part, the lower and shoulder seams. The next step is to flare the neck. It is carried out by means of a slip to the cut of the previously cut strip of knitted material (both parts of the fabric should face each other). The turned strip should be swept to the product, then execute the adjective (face side).

Then follows the finish of the bottom of the panties and the sleeves of the gymnastic swimsuit. At this stage it is important not to forget to insert the cotton gusset. The final stage is the design of the waist line with an elastic band in such a way that it moves freely and does not hamper the movements.

Pattern of swimsuit for rhythmic gymnastics, step by step The creation instruction of which is given above, can be done in other ways.

Let's consider one more simple variant

Sequence of stages

1. Creating a sketch of a swimsuit with the marking of details, the arrangement of sequins and decorations.
2. Construction of a pattern of all fragments of a product from a grid (a back, a forward part and two bottom details). It is very important to remember the allowances for seams when cutting parts.
3. Cut the same parts, but directly from the fabric, which must be stretchable and stretchy (stretch, lycra, supplex).
4. The marking of fragments from the fabric and net, their sub-line on the sewing machine.

Decoration & Decoration

The construction of a swimsuit pattern for rhythmic gymnastics is the basis for creating any costume for competitions. The original same and the corresponding topic of his performance make jewelry. There are several ways to make a gymnastic swimsuit unique:

1. Decorating with paillettes and rhinestones - pebbles with a special glue are applied to a pre-designed drawing on a suit.
2. Painting on the fabric of a gymnastic swimsuit is performed before sewing fragments of the swimsuit.
3. Acrylic paint is also able to make the outfit for the performances unique. Pre-diluted to liquid state paint with a brush applied to the wet material (it is better to first practice on an unnecessary piece of tissue). To avoid spreading the paint, it must be dried immediately with a hairdryer. The advantage of this method is that if the figure is unsuccessful, you can wash and re-paint the swimsuit.

To acrylic firmly fixed, the fabric is passed through the hot iron through a rag (but only after the paint has dried).

Conclusion

Drawing the line, it can be noted that the pattern of a swimsuit for rhythmic gymnastics, created by oneself, is a task for the loving mother. A skillful hand, imagination and natural taste will help with tailoring and finishing the outfit, so that your daughter at the competition made an indelible impression on the audience and judges.
