Reason for creativity: dresses for girls with their own hands

Every mom wants her daughter to be the most beautiful and smart. Domestic and foreign producers are trying to outdo each other by implementing this desire. And to choose an outfit for a little princess today is not difficult. But it's much more interesting when mothers create dresses for girls with their own hands! Moreover, for this it is not necessary to have the skills of a professional seamstress. It is quite enough knowledge, once received at school in the lessons of labor, and the desire to give the baby the original thing.

Dresses for girls are created using a variety of technologies, depending on what the needlemaker prefers. They are knitted on knitting needles and crocheted, sewed from solid fabric and from scraps, combine fabric and yarn. When a thing is done with love (and how else can you create for your own daughter?), It always turns out very beautiful. Well, if this is your first steps in needlework and not everything turns out as you would like, that's okay! Children grow quickly, and after some six months, new clothes will be required for girls.

Where to get a pattern?

Of course, you can choose the favorite thing in a fashionable magazine for needlework. There will not only be a pattern, but a detailed description of the process. However, today, as before, not all needlewomen are satisfied with the proposals of fashion designers. After all, dresses for girls with their own hands are created for each day, and not for a single show on the podium. In addition, it is impossible to find the right model at once. And the price of quality magazines is high enough to buy them in large quantities. Actually, this makes sense only if there is a plan to make the creation of children's clothing a source of income.

Where the other option is more accessible: remove the pattern from the already available dress. To do this, it is enough to choose your daughter's favorite dress, which she already wears, carefully measure and "scratch" every piece of paper on a millimeter paper . Taking into account the growth of the child, the necessary increments are made - and your own pattern is ready! Do not be afraid that you will repeat the already existing thing. Creating a dress for girls with their own hands is so wonderful that each of them is unique. Stitched from a different fabric, with other details, it will certainly be unique.

Option three, for especially creative and brave needlewomen: create a pattern yourself. This is more suitable for those who already have at least a minimal experience in modeling clothes. In this case, your own model is reflected and drawn on paper. In accordance with the plan, measurements are taken from the child, and a pattern is drawn. It is best to swipe the "trial" dress from any unnecessary cloth (for example, the old sheet) first, and only then to cut out the details from the selected fabric. On the "probe" immediately become visible pattern errors, they will easily be fixed without damage to the new thing.

And finally, many mothers create clothes for girls by their own hands from their own boring clothes. Here everything can be extremely simple: the sleeves turn into sleeves, the hem - into the hem, the shelves and the back - into its semblance of smaller size. Ideal for training!

Which material should I choose?

It all depends on your imagination, financial possibilities and the ultimate goal. It is obvious that dense woolen fabric does not suit a summer dress , and silk or chiffon is not very suitable for winter. It is best to choose natural fabrics of bright colors. For a warm season, cotton and flax will be a wonderful choice. For cold weather - wool, fleece, jeans. You can choose fabrics with colorful prints. And you can use monophonic, decorating the finished thing with lace, applique, embroidery. Here the main thing is not to overdo it, so that beauty does not turn into bad taste.

If you are going to not sew, and knit a dress for your girl, then here preference is given to natural fibers. Synthetic yarn, even the most spectacular and socks, is best left for outerwear, which is worn for short periods of time. After all, it is assumed that the dress is worn for a whole day, and the body needs to breathe.

So, what is next?

And then - space for creativity. Sew, knit, combine fabric and knitted details. Attract to the creation of new clothes its future owner. On the one hand, it is useful in educational and educational purposes. On the other hand, it will be a guarantee that she will like the new dress. After all, what is created by their own hands, is always valued much higher than any purchase.
