Of those who are wondering how to make a dress with their own hands from fabric, only a small part means by their interest the complete process of making an outfit from creating a pattern to sewing. Mostly girls are interested in ways to make a dress from fabric without sewing. And it turns out that there are a large number of such methods, and the dress models are very different.

By the way, the famous designer of the early 20th century, Alphonse Berger, brought the art of creating dresses from a piece of fabric into more or less modern fashion. He was called the "Great Draper" for his ingenious ways of creating magnificent outfits, one might say, out of nothing. In the middle of the last century, he even created his own show, where those interested could enjoy the process of almost instantly making outfits, because Alphonse Berger mastered the art of how to make a dress from a piece of fabric at the highest level. You can find a video on the Internet where you can see what magic this designer could create from just a piece of fabric.

Several options for creating a dress from fabric

The simplest dress without sewing can be made from a piece of fabric with sides one and a half meters long. You need to wrap yourself in fabric according to the pareo principle, the upper corners of the fabric need to be crossed over the chest and brought back, behind the neck, tying a knot there. At waist level, the outfit must be secured with a belt or belt.

You can make a light dress from the same piece of fabric in the Greek style. We wrap the body with fabric so that the edges are on one side. Take the long upper ends of the fabric and tie them in a knot. We bring the resulting ends of the knot onto the shoulder and tie it there, making a kind of strap. To prevent such a dress from swinging open when walking, you need to wrap it around the body from below, as it will be more convenient, and secure the resulting outfit with a strap or belt.

By the way, you can even make an evening dress with an open back from the fabric. To do this, we place a piece of fabric in front, take the two upper corners and bring them behind the neck, tying them there in a knot. After this, you need to form a cutout in the front in the form of a collar. We straighten the draperies in the way we need. At waist level you need to straighten our dress, raise the fabric a little, and tie a knot at the back. To make the resulting structure strong, wear a beautiful belt.

You can make an elegant dress from the fabric with an asymmetrical bodice. To do this, you need to tie a knot on one shoulder, which is farthest from the side with the fold of the fabric, wrap the material tightly around the body and secure the outfit with a belt or belt. By the way, such outfits can be made from large silk scarves.

From scraps of fabric you can make very beautiful decorative elements for decorating dresses, blouses and other clothes. Many people will most likely guess how to make a bow on a dress made of fabric, since we learned how to tie bows, for example, on laces, in childhood. For a bow on a dress, you need to take a long piece of fabric in the form of a ribbon.

More skill will be required for those who are interested in how to make a flower from fabric on a dress. On the Internet you can find detailed instructions for making fabric flowers, from the simplest (for example, making a rose from a neckerchief) to the very complex and labor-intensive.

You can do it yourself without having any sewing or knitting skills. To make clothes for dolls without sewing, old knitted (preferably) items are suitable. The knitwear does not fray at the seams, is elastic, and holds its shape well. Other fabrics can also be used. The main thing is that the finished product does not fray the edges of the fabric when used.

Skirt without sewing

To make a skirt without sewing, below the knee length, cut a square of knitwear with a side of 10 cm. The skirt in the photo is made from an old sand-colored T-shirt.

Fold the square in half.

Fold the resulting rectangle in half. That is, we get a square of four additions.

In the corner where the folds of the fabric are located, set aside 0.5 cm and cut off the top - this is the waist line. Set aside 10 cm along the entire skirt (on the sides and central part). Connect with a smooth line. Cut off excess fabric along this line. The skirt is ready.

Lay out the skirt and iron it.

Try the skirt on the doll.

Sleeveless jacket

To make a sweater without sewing, cut out a rectangle from knitwear with sides 7cm x 30cm.

Bend the rectangular strip 1.5 cm and mark the locations for the armholes of the blouse.

Step back 12.5 cm from the edges of the rectangle on both sides and place marks. Make a 0.5 cm cut for one sleeve.

Make a cut for another armhole.

Lay out the rectangle.

We put a blouse on the doll.

We cross the loose ends of the blouse and tie them behind the back at the waist.

Since rectangular tails will burden the product at the back, you can trim them as follows.

Lay out the blouse and cut off the corners as shown in the photo

The blouse can be put on the doll from the other side. The loose ends are crossed and tied in front or offset to the right or left side.

This is what the blouse looks like from the back during the second version of trying on the blouse.

Long dress without sewing

This beautiful blue evening dress is made of a combination with lace. For a dress without sewing, a square with a side of 48 cm is cut out. Fold the fabric square in half and in half again.

In the corner with the folds, carefully cut out a boat neck about 2 cm long.

Unfold the square and try it on the doll. If the head does not fit into the oval, then adjust the length of the neck.

Mark the armholes of the dress on the square. Namely, set aside 0.5 cm from the neck in both directions.

Make cuts 0.3 -0.4 mm long as shown in the photo.

We unfold the square with the neckline and armholes.

Fold the square in quarters again and align the length of the dress. That is, set aside 24 cm on the sides and in the center and draw a smooth line. Trim off excess fabric.

Unfold the finished dress.

Put the dress on the doll.

Prepare a lace braid or a strip of fabric about 60-70 cm long.

Tie a lace braid at the waist with a bow from the back. Distribute the folds evenly across the front of the fabric.

Distribute the folds evenly on the back of the fabric.

The lace braid can be tied above the waist and the dress will take on a different style.

If there is wide lace, the dress will look more elegant.

Remove the narrow braid from the dress, and throw a strip of wide lace over the shoulders, cross the loose ends in front and tie behind the back. Straighten out the wrinkles on the dress.

Wide lace can also be used as a thin stole.

I spent no more than $40 on materials when creating this kite.

The entire process of creating this wonderful kite took me 8 hours. This is the snake I ended up with:

Step 1: Materials and Tools

My goal was to use the most inexpensive and accessible materials that can be bought in any store. Please note that I didn't have to look for many of the materials, so your kite may cost more.

Materials:

1. Durable nylon. I bought a meter of each color. This amount, according to my calculations, should be enough for 5 kites.
2. Six wooden dowels (diameter 0.6 cm, length 92 cm)
3. A vinyl tube 61 cm long, with a diameter of 0.6 cm. This tube will hold the dowels together.
4. Fabric glue. You can choose the cheapest one in the store.
5. Superglue. Necessary to firmly adhere the fabric to the vinyl tube.
6. Special fishing line or rope for winding/unwinding and controlling the kite in the air.
7. A pack of safety pins (if desired, can be used to hold pieces of fabric together while gluing it to the wooden base of the snake).

Tools:

1. Scissors
2. A marker with a fine tip for marking on fabric and dowels.
3. Cardboard box for creating a layout (optional). It was easier for me to measure out the triangular kite layout on cardboard so that my kite would end up symmetrical.
4. Tape measure and straight edge (36 inches long) for calculations.
5. Protractor - for measuring angles in a triangular kite.
6. A regular pencil sharpener - we will use it to trim the edges of the dowels.
7. Hacksaw and miter (optional) - to cut off part of the wooden dowel.
8. Large nail – should leave a hole that a wood dowel can go through.

To work, I advise you to spread the fabric on the floor, it will be more convenient to do the calculations.

Step 2: Build the Foundation

What we need: wooden dowels (3 pieces 91 cm long, 1 piece 6 cm long, 1 piece 7.2 cm long), vinyl tube, nail, scissors, tape measure, marker.

The vinyl tube should be long enough that you can fit the wood dowels into it.
The vinyl tube will need to be doweled and cut later (NOT NOW). Therefore, the length of the tube can be calculated based on the sizes of the parts:

1 tube 7.6 cm long;
6 tubes 1 cm long (for connecting crossbars);
2 tubes 1.3 cm long (to secure the outer tips of the “wings” of the kite so that the fabric does not come off).

1. Measure the length of each key. 3 keys do not have to be cut at all, whereas 2 keys can be obtained by cutting one. I used a miter and a hacksaw to cut the dowels. You can replace these tools with scissors, but then you will have to work hard to cut straight.

2. Use a pencil sharpener to round the edges of the dowels. There is no need to sharpen it, just round it so that the keys can be pushed into the vinyl tube. Look at the photo.

3. Measure one and a half centimeters from the edge of the vinyl tube and make a mark with a marker. Then insert a nail perpendicular to the tube in place of the mark. Look at the photo.

4. Now you need to insert the key into the tube. This will take some time and effort. How to do this - look at the photo.

5. As soon as the first key has been inserted, you can measure a length of 1 cm and cut it off.

6. Repeat for all keys:
to fix the tip, the “spout” of the kite, you will need a key in a tube 7.6 cm long;
two 92 cm long dowels will require 2 vinyl tubes. One 91 cm long dowel will need a vinyl tube in its central part. This is quite difficult to explain - follow the step-by-step actions in the photo.

Step 3: Measure and Cut the Fabric

What do we need: nylon, marker, scissors, tape measure, straight edge, protractor.

I drew a sketch of my kite on cardboard in advance and cut out the layout. Thus, I got a symmetrical layout, which I just had to attach to the fabric, trace and cut out along the contour.

I had to tinker with trigonometric calculations. To make it easier for you, here is a picture of the measurements I used:

Please note that the 2 edges are 1.5 cm longer. This margin is necessary to glue together the “sleeves” into which we will insert the key.

Step 4: Glue the fabric pieces together

What we need: dowels, fabric glue, pieces of fabric you just cut out, safety pins (optional).

Note: you need to glue one of the 19-inch pieces into a sleeve. The other part will be used to glue two pieces of fabric.

For beginners, the longer piece of fabric will be wrapped around the longest dowels. Next I made the sleeve by gluing the nylon around the edge and inserting a dowel as shown in the photo.

Now it's time to glue one piece of fabric to another. Take the piece where there is no sleeve for the dowel, and trim it to 0.5 cm. Glue it as shown in the photo, do not forget to insert the dowel into the sleeve before gluing.

Let the glue dry for several hours.

Step 5: Connecting the base and fabric

What we need: tape measure, parts of the kite that you have already made - fabric base and wings, superglue, fabric glue, extra dowel to smooth out the roughness from the layer of glue on the fabric.

Prepare the fabric:
You need to measure and make cuts along the edges to insert the doweled vinyl tubes. The cuts should be at a distance of 9 cm and 32 cm from the “spout”. Detailed process in the photo.

Insert keys:

To create the outer strips of the kite, take two dowels in the vinyl tubes prepared earlier.

1. Starting at the “nose”, carefully insert the dowel into the fabric sleeve.
2. Once you reach the first cut, slide a piece of vinyl tubing onto the dowel as shown in the photo below.
3. Continue to push the dowel down the fabric sleeve, being careful not to move the vinyl tube on the outside.
4. Repeat step 2 for the next vinyl tube when you reach the second cut in the sleeve.
5. Thread the dowel to the end of the sleeve, and do the same with the other “wing” of your kite.
Assembling the central part:
In the 19-inch sleeve, obtained in the middle after gluing the two halves of the fabric, you also need to make two cuts to insert a short dowel.
1. The outer strips are now in the sleeves along the edges of the “wings”.
2. The top layer of the sleeve must be cut in the middle in order to insert a dowel, which must be held together by vinyl tubes at both ends.

A few finishing touches:

Now we need superglue. It is very important to use superglue to secure the tips of the kite’s “wings” so that they do not come unglued or fray during acrobatics in the air.

1. Use three-inch vinyl tubing to secure the spout. Now use super glue to glue the fabric to the vinyl tube.
2. One and a half inch vinyl tubes from the base of the kite should be attached to the tips of the outer planks. Use superglue to glue the fabric to the tubes.
3. Apply fabric glue to the back side (the only edge where there is no dowel). To prevent the glue from bubbling, straighten the fabric with a dowel.

Voila! Finally, we have a kite that can perform acrobatic tricks.

Step 6: Attach ropes to control the kite

What you will need: rope, twine (60 meters), scissors, kite.

In total, there are 6 connecting points (3 on each side), they should be located as in the photo.

I made a loop at one end of the loop, cut the rope into 6 pieces, each 61cm long. Then I attached each rope to the kite at the connection points. To do this, I wrapped the rope around the key and threaded the loose end into a loop, thus tying it around the key.

Measure, without cutting yet, the length for each rope you tie:
top rope (21 cm);
bottom rope of outer bar (16.5 cm);
bottom ropes on the inside (14 cm).

1. Measure each rope and make a mark with a marker.
2. Once all the ropes have been marked to the required length, take 2 ropes from the left side and 1 bottom middle rope and line them up according to the marks.
3. Apply superglue to all three marks to secure the three ropes together.
4. Once the superglue has dried, tie a knot in all three ropes. To secure the knot, I dribbled superglue onto it.
5. Repeat all these steps for the right side of the kite. Excess pieces of rope can be cut off after the glue has dried. Don't forget to check the photo.

Guide ropes.

You will need two ropes to control the kite in the air. One is for the right hand, the second is for the left. Each of these ropes should be about 25-30 m long. The photo explains in detail how to connect these lines to the base of the kite. Make a loop at the end of each rope and follow the instructions in the photo!

Greek dress without a pattern. 3 ways to sew it yourself

Your aim– these are light flowing fabrics (muslin, satin, silk, jersey, fine knitwear, velvet). The fabric should be fluid, thin, easy to fit into soft folds and not wrinkle too much.

(By the way, please note that among flowing fabrics, you can find those that do not fray when cut, then you will not need to process the edges after sewing the dress.) The length of the cut must be at least 3 meters.

We will create a dress in the Greek style ourselves. And no patterns! Just a flight of fancy and a mirror. And every woman necessarily has both.

Don't have a sewing machine? So you don’t really need it to create a Greek dress.

Have you ever sewn anything? And a Greek dress does not need to be “sewn” in the generally accepted sense of the word (with pattern drawings, darts and tufts).

First method: “Wrap up and tie yourself up”

Here is a visual diagram:

Two decorative pins on the shoulders and tie with a ribbon at the waist or under the bust.

Of course, this simplified version of the dress will fly open in any wind. Therefore, this particular model would be appropriate at a beach resort over a swimsuit.

And in order to make a full-fledged Greek dress from this, you just need to sew the flaps of the dress along its right side from bottom to top, so that the body does not show through. The result is an elegant outfit in the Greek style.

This model is good because, although it does not fit the body at all, it nevertheless emphasizes the beauty of its curves, thanks to the fluidity of the fabric, flowing seductively over the body. And according to this modeling method, you can get completely different dresses, depending on the color and quality of fabric you use to create them.

For example: ivory-colored satin, a string of freshwater pearls around the wrist, a discreet but exquisite brooch on the shoulder made of the same pearls, hair scattered over the shoulders - and you get the image of a young Aphrodite emerging from the foam of the sea, and your wardrobe is replenished with a fashionable Greek daytime dress .

Or the same model but: black silk, a brooch on the shoulder and a gold-colored bracelet, smoky eye makeup - and this is the evening look of a formidable goddess.

Second method: draping on the body

The great French fashion designer Madame Grès created her dresses in the Greek style, draping them by hand on the model's body. Her way of creating an antique dress has become classic, and her clients have included Grace Kelly, Jacqueline Kennedy, Marlene Dietrich and Barbra Streisand.

As the ancient Greeks used to say: “It’s not the gods who burn the pots,” let’s try ourselves in the role of a fashion designer.

Here is a picture of a Greek dress made from a single piece of fabric.

High-fashion? Yes, high, but not so high that we couldn’t reach it.

What do you need: fabric is a little longer than 2 times your height from heels to shoulders (if you want a floor-length dress). Decorative braid or ribbon of such length that it is enough to wrap around yourself under the chest and at the waist twice.

Let's begin. We spread the fabric on the floor, found the middle of it and drew a line with chalk. This line will lie on your shoulders.

Now you need to make a hole in the center for the head - draw a perpendicular line (about 15 cm to start with, so that the head fits through) and cut it with scissors.

We stuck our head through the hole, and now we need to decide to what level we will deepen the neckline. ( The dress from the photo has a neckline that goes down to the waist. But you can also stop it under the chest, tie it there with a ribbon, and then you don’t have to wrap another ribbon around the waist, let the fabric flow freely down, starting to fall straight from the ribbon under the chest. And this will be a slightly different model of the Greek dress, less revealing). But let's continue...

So, they put it on the head and marked the desired level of neckline depth on the fabric with chalk. We took it off, spread it on the floor, drew a line to our mark and used scissors to cut the cutout to the end. We gathered the fabric along the shoulder line with pins and then proceed as shown in the figure.

They tied a ribbon under the chest, but not on top of the fabric, but underneath it, on the body. We take pins and, placing the fabric in folds, pin them to the ribbon, draping first one breast, then the other.

We do about the same with the tape at the waist.

Now that we already see the image of our future Greek dress, and we are satisfied with the way the fabric lay, we can thread a needle and, taking out one pin at a time, sew our folds to the ribbon with large stitches (or you can sew everything first, and then remove the pins already). The stitches can be made oblique and curved, anyway we will sew another ribbon or braid on top, and we will sew it on carefully.

So, we made the front part of the dress in the Greek style.

At the back you can do the same thing as at the front - with a cutout and two ribbons. Or show your imagination and play with drapery. Using the method of pinning and crab tucks for hair, find the very location of the folds when the fabric flows in the most interesting way for you, emphasizing your advantages and hiding your flaws.

The pictures show 3 ways to drape the back of the dress. Third way "swing" is achieved by gathering the fabric up (the left and right edges of the fabric are gathered, and the middle sags freely, forming these most beautiful “swings”) Accordingly, for the third method, the fabric for the back hem needs 1-2 meters more.

But when playing with the fabric and imagining, keep in mind that the dress must provide free entry and exit, that is, somewhere it must be fastened and unfastened. It is best to sew one elegant button on the side, at the ends of the ribbons on the front of the dress, and a loop on the ends of the ribbons on the back of the dress. Thus, it turns out that the dress above the waist does not have side seams, but is fastened with buttons (or Velcro, or decorative fasteners - to your taste).

The third method: drapery on the “fabric”

Let me explain what “sticky” is. Imagine that you have a short dress that fits your figure, that is, almost clingy. But you don’t wear it and won’t wear it, because you once spilled bleach on it, and the stain cannot be removed. And if you still haven’t thrown it out, then rejoice, you don’t have to sew a special lining - this dress will serve as the ideal basis for creating your new magnificent dress in the Greek style. That is, it will be this very “sticky material”.

You put on the wrap, take flowing fabric to match, throw it over your shoulder (or cut a hole for the head, as in the previous method), form folds and pin them to the wrap. Then you sew them on first with a rough thread using simple coarse stitches, take out the pins, try them on again and, if everything suits you, sew them on by hand using neat hidden stitches.

Pull out the rough thread, trim off the excess fabric, if necessary, make a seam. As a basis for drapery, you can use not only a sheath dress, but also a tight-fitting T-shirt or bra. The main thing is that the drapery completely hides the base, and the base itself is the same color as the drapery fabric.

As you can see, a dress in the Greek style can be made literally “with your bare hands.” Without any drawings or mathematical calculations. Guided solely by intuition and a sense of beauty.

Go ahead, grab some fabric and try and create! And you will definitely succeed!
