To stitch a blouse, which you later want to wear, you must follow a certain sequence. As a rule, competent tailoring takes place in several steps: taking measurements, drafting patterns, cutting fabric, basting, trying on and, in fact, the process of manufacturing the product. Each of these items is mandatory, since the failure of one of them can lead to disastrous results – you simply throw stitched blouse, or adjust it instead of cloth.
If you produce a garment for yourself, ask someone to help you make the right measurements. The fact that to remove, for example, the size of the back will be extremely difficult.

Stage 2: drafting the pattern
To prepare and calculate the pattern the correct model for a novice tailor will not be easy. So as a basis you can use a ready-made pattern from a fashion magazine. Many publications on similar subjects, I attach photos of the products, the sets of patterns in full size.

Step 4: basting and sewing
Cut part of a future blouse smatyvay large stitches manually or using sewing machine. If the nous is carried out by machine, you must first slightly loosen the thread tension is easy to remove the now unnecessary thread. Identifying and modifying "rough" version of the product, you can proceed to the main sewing blouses.
