Products from genuine leather are highly valued, but you can also sew a jacket from a leather substitute. Such a product will look very good in finished form, and for beginners it will be great way practice before creating leather products.

Choice of model and materials

Sewing a leather jacket can be quite simple, the main thing is to accurately determine the model at the very beginning. There are several familiar options for jackets: classic, youth and biker (leather jackets).

In the process of working with leather, there are several important rules to remember:

• For easier sliding on the material, you can use sunflower oil.
• The lining for a leather jacket is best used from natural materials thus avoiding the sauna effect when worn.
• For gluing individual elements, you can use non-woven glue.
• Chalk can be used for marking when building a pattern - after that it is easily washed off with an ordinary soft cloth dipped in water.

In the next master class, we will consider the construction and tailoring fashionable leather jackets made of artificial leather, which has long held a leading position in the wardrobes of people of all ages.

Pattern

This stylish jacket is a perfect find for any wardrobe, because it is combined with both trousers and dresses. Designers recommend choosing calm dark tones for tailoring a classic leather jacket, however, absolutely nothing prevents you from decorating it with decorative elements.

Reference! Building a pattern is a rather interesting and time-consuming process. It can be purchased on various Internet resources or built independently.

We decided to carry out calculations on our own and describe this process in detail.

The construction of the pattern takes place in several stages:

1. First you need to take measurements size 48: Half neck circumference (19.5), 1/2 chest circumference (48), sleeve length (60), product length (78).
2. On paper, mark an angle of 90 degrees with point A at its apex.
3. From point A to the right, set aside the size of the PoG with an allowance for fit + 15 cm (48 + 15 = 63 cm) mark B.
4. From A down draw a line 78 cm +2 and mark H (AH = 80) and draw horizontally from H, and from B vertically 2 lines. Mark the place of crossing B1.
5. Mark of the chest line: from A 1/3 of half of the coverage of the chest + 8 cm, mark as D (AG = 48/3 + 8 = 24). To the right side of G, draw parallel to AB and mark G1 at the intersection with the vertical line from B.
6. For the wide side of the back, along the chest line from G, mark 1/3 POG + 7 cm, mark r (48/3 + 7 \u003d 23 cm). From this mark, draw upwards parallel to the line of the back, and mark C at the place of crossing with AB.
7. The size of the wide part of the armhole along the chest line: from r, outline 1/4 POG + 5 cm - point r1 (48/4 + 5 = 17 cm). Up from r1, draw a line of parallel to the middle part of the front of C1.
8. The wide part of the sprout: along AB to the right side of A 1/8 PoG + 1.5 cm a (48/8 + 1.5 = 7.5).
9. High part of the sprout: Draw a line upwards from a, which is equal to 1/2 of the wide part of the sprout-1 cm, mark as a1 (7.5 / 2-1 \u003d 2.8 cm), a, a1 and A combine.
10. Bevel for the shoulder along the back: From C, set aside 2 cm down and mark n.
11. The wide side of the shoulder for the back: connect a1 and n, on the segment r r1 divide it into 2 equal parts and place O. Draw a line of 3.5 cm from r to bisect the angle r2.
12. Combine the armhole of the back at the points p1, p2, r2 and O.
13. We build the wide part of the neck along the front as follows: from point B, set aside 1/8 PoG + 1.5 cm and mark B1 (BB1 \u003d 48/8 + 1.5 \u003d 7.5 cm). Draw a 7.5 cm line down from B. Mark it as b. Connect B1 and b.
14. Bevel for the front of the shoulder: set aside 2.5 cm from C1 and mark p3.
15. Armhole: combine n4, n5, r3 and O.
16. To build a sleeve, you need to measure a rectangle with a height A 60 cm long + 4 cm for seams and freedom of fitting, and the width AB \u003d PoG + 3 \u003d 48 + 3 \u003d 51 cm.
17. The sleeve okat is built on POG / 8 + 2 and is equal to 8. Its center is exactly in the middle of 25.5 cm.

Thus, according to the cutting scheme on the canvas of artificial leather, the following should be obtained:

Sewing steps

After the pattern is ready and all the elements have been cut along the leatherette fabric, you need to thread them together:

• Start by sewing on the pockets. To do this, attach a rectangular piece to the location of the pocket from the wrong side. It is recommended to process the pocket immediately - locks, rivets or other decorative elements that you like.
• After that, you need to connect the shoulder seams.
• Stitch the collar blank into the neck.
• Next, you should process the sleeves and cuffs.
• Connect on the sides.
• Hem the bottom of the jacket.

Attention! It should be remembered that sloppy seams or shoulder seams finished jacket can be closed with patches, straps or rivets, so you should not worry about the fact that there is a small error somewhere.

Thus, we are convinced that it is quite possible to sew a leather jacket on your own! However, this process requires a certain perseverance and patience.

We see the same thing in the production of clothing: raincoats with a detachable lining, trousers, "with a slight movement of the hand, turn into elegant shorts."

We offer you a two-sided demi-season jacket, which, with some skill, is easy DIY home. The advantages are obvious: you can give free rein to your own imagination and save not only money, but also space in your wardrobe.

So double sided jacket it is remarkable in that it does not have a wrong side, both of its sides are front. Thinking of sewing such a thing, you must remember a few simple rules when choosing a fabric:
- the fabric must be non-linting;
- for both sides it is better to choose a fabric of the same composition, which will give the same shrinkage. Or choose synthetics that practically “do not sit down”;
- The canvases you have chosen should be combined with each other in color and pattern.

For demi-season jacket raincoat fabric, jacket fabrics with water-repellent impregnation, ordinary blended fabrics containing cotton and even satin are suitable. A synthetic winterizer 1-1.5 cm thick is perfect as a heater. It is irrational to use a more voluminous synthetic winterizer: it is more difficult to work with it, and your jacket is still actually two-layer.

Before cutting, the fabric must be decanted (soaked briefly in warm water or ironed through damp gauze). Decating method depends on the type of fabric.

Next, cut out the product. The choice of style is up to you. The only thing to consider is a minimum of undercuts and embossed seams. After all, all the details will have to be quilted, and the abundance of grooves can significantly complicate the task. When cutting, increase the seam allowance to 2-3 cm. This is a necessary precaution. Quilted parts may be slightly reduced in linear dimensions due to "thickening".

Having finished cutting, proceed to quilting parts. This is where your imagination can run wild too. Especially if you are a happy owner of a state-of-the-art sewing machine, in the arsenal of which there are always several types of curly stitches. If the capabilities of your machine are more modest, simply mark with chalk two perpendicular lines on the front side of the part, install a foot with a limiting ruler on the machine, connect the fabric and synthetic winterizer parts with pins for convenience and sew along the front side, combining each previous line with the limiting ruler (so you will get strictly parallel lines). To get a flat surface, alternate parallel and perpendicular stitches. And one more tip: in order for the product to look better, the direction and angle of the “quilting” machine lines on paired parts should be a “mirror image”. To do this, simply connect the paired parts with the right sides inward and pat with the palm of your hand so that the chalk mark appears on the second part. When all the details are quilted, check each of them again with the template, cut off the excess.

Now you can proceed to the actual . Here everything is according to the traditional scheme: grind tucks (if any), shoulder and side seams, collect and stitch sleeves and hoods. By the way, a small zippered pocket can be sewn to the bottom of the hood on one side, inside which you can hide a loop for a hanger. A loop for strength is attached to the seam connecting the hood to the back.

Pockets. In this case, it is better to choose overhead pockets and attach them to one (conditionally front) side. It is quite possible to do without a second pair of pockets, so as not to visually increase the hip area. For each pocket, you will need 2 parts from the main fabric and 1 part from some kind of cushioning material (can be non-adhesive). Padding is a must if you want the pocket to hold its shape and not hang like a shapeless string bag. Between the main parts, place the gasket part, fold the parts with the wrong sides inward, chip off with pins and quilt. You process the edges of the pockets around the perimeter with an oblique trim, after which you sew them to the shelves.

So, both parts of the jacket are ready. You can proceed to the final stage. Connect both halves with the wrong sides inward, turn the sleeves on one of the sides. Cut off the edges of the jacket around the perimeter with tailor's pins and grind at a distance of 2-3 mm from the edge (this is a rough line, it is needed in order to make it more convenient to sew a slanting inlay). You process the edges of the jacket and the bottom of the sleeves with an oblique trim in one or two lines (if there is not enough experience). Next, outline, sweep and cut the loops. By the way,

Quilted jackets are in trend right now. In the period of autumn-winter cold, quilted things are indispensable clothing. Even during severe frosts in a quilted coat you feel comfortable. Possessing the necessary sewing skills, any needlewoman is able to create a unique product that will be unique in its kind. In our article, we will consider how to sew a jacket of such a model on our own.

Tools and materials

To make a quilted jacket, you must first prepare the following tools and materials:

• There are four pockets on the jacket in reliefs - two upper chest pockets, which are fastened with zippers, and two lower sewn pockets.
• We will make a jacket with a raglan sleeve, which is perfect for creating models designed for outdoor activities.

Cutting preparation

Before cutting the material, the fabric is usually decaged. If you use the material on a padding polyester, then it does not need to be ironed. In this case, the lining material needs to be decanted. The fabric should be steamed with an iron or moistened with warm water, allowed to dry, and then ironed.

Open jackets

How to sew a quilted jacket on a padding polyester with your own hands using a pattern? When cutting the jacket, it is necessary to cut out the following blanks from the main fabric:

• shelf - 2 pcs.;
• back without middle seam;
• sleeves - 2 pcs.;
• hood.

According to the finished blanks, we cut out the details of the lining, while not forgetting to leave an allowance of about 1 cm in the center of the back for a free fit.

It is mandatory to take into account processing allowances:

• side seams 1.5-2.0 cm;
• sleeve seams and reliefs 1.5-2.0 cm;
• shoulder seams, edges of the sides 1.0-1.5 cm;
• sleeves and armholes 1.5 cm;
• neck 1.0 cm;
• bottom of the jacket and sleeves 1.0 cm;
• connection seams for the hood 1.5 cm;
• bottom of the hood 1.0 cm;
• the outer cut of the hood is made without allowance.

Jacket fitting

We try on the future thing:

1. We put on a jacket and with sewing pins in the center we chop off the shelves
2. We pay attention to the location of the shoulder seam, which should not go forward or backward.
3. If necessary, we correct the raglan line, specify the length of the jacket and sleeves.

5. If necessary, we deepen the neck and pin the hood with sewing pins.
6. Pay attention to the shape, size and depth of the hood.
7. If necessary, we change the volume, using the side seams, reliefs and seams on the sleeves.
8. Once again, carefully evaluate appearance things.

Important! We mark the changes made with sewing pins on the product with chalk. After removing the pins, chalk marks remain, on which changes are made after the first fitting.

Jacket tailoring

We grind the reliefs on the workpiece, taking into account the changes made. On the front side, we lay finishing lines at a distance of 0.2-0.5 cm from the seam.

Consider how to make a pocket with a zipper on a jacket.

For this you need to prepare:

• burlap, consisting of two blanks;
• lightning - one piece.

How to sew a quilted jacket with your own hands:

1. We connect the blanks of burlap, while stepping back 1.5 cm from the sections of the entrance to the pocket.
2. We grind the relief on the shelf, while leaving free space for the chest and bottom pockets.
3. In the form of triangles, we make notches, not reaching 0.2 cm to the lines.
4. From the wrong side, we sew a zipper into the seam of the relief, while trying to adhere to the following recommendations:
   • the running line should not be located with the intended seam of the relief of the product, while it passes through half of the zipper teeth;
   • as a result - in the finished form, the zipper fits exactly into the seam of the relief, while there are no creases both at the beginning and at the end of the zipper, this method resembles the design of the seam in a frame.

Important! It is necessary to sew a zipper into the relief using a special foot. In this case, the pocket is as high quality as the line goes close to the zipper.

1. From the wrong side, to the zipper allowances, we fasten the burlap of the pocket, using a special foot.
2. Into the split in the pocket we sweep the edging.

4. We chop off and grind the details of the burlap.
5. We connect the burlap with the product using an open seam.
6. We process the cut of the entrance to the pocket with an elastic band in two stages:
   • on the wrong side, we sew one side of the braid, while tightening the braid a little to form pocket gathers;
   • we bend the braid to the front side, bend the cut and sew the second side of the ribbon.
7. Together with the pocket we grind the relief seam.

Important! To strengthen the entrance to the pocket, you can put vertical machine bartacks on the wrong side.

1. We lay finishing lines along the relief seams.
2. We put bartacks at the start and end points of the pocket with a zipper.
3. You can use applications in the form of triangles-amplifiers.

4. We lay out the allowances in different directions and lay the finishing lines along the seams.
5. We grind the side seams and the seams on the sleeves, while laying a single line.
6. We estimate that all seams and cells of the quilted material coincide with each other.
7. In different directions, carefully iron the allowances - it is better to use a low-temperature iron, without using steam, while pressing a little with the iron.

The base of the jacket on a synthetic winterizer

After sewing the sleeves into the armholes, we proceed to the procedure for basing the neck, if necessary, you can process the bottom of the jacket and sleeves.

2. We grind the ends of the strip, turn it on the front side, straighten the corners, bend in half and iron.
3. Stepping back from the sides of the shelves about 6.0 cm, we sweep the strip to the neck.
4. After that, we take one part of the lightning, which is without a slider.
5. We sew the collar into the neck, while we combine the center of the back with the center of the collar, and the edges of the shelves with the ends of the collar.

How to sew a zipper into a lined jacket?

Consider how to properly insert a zipper into a jacket:

7. We fasten the zipper and check the coincidence of the cells and seams.
8. We cut off the long ends of the zipper, if the zipper is metal, then with the help of pliers we remove the extra links.

Making a strap for a clasp

To sew a jacket on a synthetic winterizer with your own hands, you need to make straps for the fastener in this way:

• We measure the length of the bar, which corresponds to the distance from the middle point of the fold of the collar to the bottom of the product.
• From the material we cut out a strip of the appropriate length plus 1.5 cm for allowances, while taking into account the coincidence of the cells on the product and on the bar. The width of the finished plank is 3.0-4.5 cm, while the added allowance corresponds to 1.5-2.0 cm.

Important! We cut out the bar from two parts that are rounded on both sides.

• We grind the details of the strap, turn it on the front side, with the help of an iron we draw a piping along the edge.

To do this, you must first connect to sewing machine lining with a jacket, stepping back from the cut 0.3 cm. Sew on the braid, while bending the ends of the braid. To process the bottom of the sleeves, we first connect the ends of the braid, while the seam of the connection and the seam on the sleeve must match.

Important! To determine the length of the elastic band, it is necessary to measure the circumference of the hips, taking into account the fact that machine stitching can greatly stretch the band. Therefore, before proceeding with the processing of the bottom, the braid should first be pinned to the product and try on the jacket.

In a similar way, we determine the length of the braid of the sleeves. Much depends on the texture of the braid and the structure of the material.

How to sew a hood to a jacket?

Leather jackets

Let's learn how to sew a leather jacket.

Many people think that a leather jacket is a terribly difficult task. But if you set a goal and approach this issue as correctly as possible, then there really are no difficulties in this.

If you have basic sewing skills, know how to work with patterns, then maybe it's time to try something new. Leather work has its own characteristics:

How to sew a jacket with your own hands

When all the patterns are transferred to paper, all the nuances are taken into account and finalized, you can try to start sewing. Try to lay out the patterns on the fabric as sparingly as possible. Use chalk to circle all the details. This can be done both from the wrong side and from the front side. Since our material is very soft and easy to stretch, all the details must be duplicated with a special fabric - dublerin. It can be bought at any specialized store. To give the skin extra volume, glue the skin with foam rubber in the places you need and carefully sew.

As carefully as possible, connect all the parts of the jacket. Sew on sleeves and collar.
We cut out the same details from the lining fabric as from the main one. We connect all the details of the lining. Then very carefully sew the lining fabric to the main product. It's best to start with the sleeves. Then along the bottom of the jacket, then the shelves and the neck. This is how easy it is to sew a jacket with your own hands.

Winter jackets

If you want a synthetic winterizer jacket, the question you need to decide is: what material to choose for sewing? Basically, such products are sewn from artificial leather or raincoat fabric. There is, of course, a difference in price, so first decide how much you are willing to spend on fabric.

Once you have chosen the fabric, you can get to work. So, how to sew a jacket on a padding polyester with your own hands?

For this jacket you will need:
- artificial leather- 2.5 m.
- fabric for lining - 2.2 m.
- synthetic winterizer 200 - 2.5 m.
- raincoat fabric - 1 m.
- 80 cm long zipper.
- standard zippers for pockets - 2 pcs.

How to sew a jacket on a synthetic winterizer

We transfer the pattern sample to paper. Then we cut out the details of our product from the insulation and the main fabric. All parts are interconnected with pins, taking into account the places for seams.

Quilt each detail along the marking lines, marking them in advance on the front side of the fabric. For this, of course, better fit artificial leather, because, making notes on the front side, they are then easy to wash off. If you are working with another fabric and cannot make marks on the face, then do it from the wrong side of the fabric, then sweep, and only then sew along with the padding polyester.

To make the side pockets of the jacket you will need:
- 2 parts of the pocket from the main fabric, the lining and from the insulation (moreover, you need to take only half of the insulation layer, i.e. carefully divide the padding layer manually into 2 equal thicknesses).
- 2 parts of the strip (to add volume) from the main and from the lining fabric.

For each detail, do not forget to leave room for an allowance - 1.5 cm each.

We quilt, and then sew the details of the strip to the pockets from the insulation. We do the same actions with the details of the strips and pockets made of lining fabric. We connect the details of the pockets from the lining and the main fabric with the front sides and sew them together. Turn the finished pockets through the cut.

We sew ready-made pockets to our jacket, bending the edges in order to hide the lining.

All prepared and pre-quilted parts of our product are carefully connected and sewn together.

Tailoring the hood

Cut out the details of the hood from black raincoat fabric and sew them together. For the inside of the hood, we cut the same parts from another fabric and carefully sew them into the middle of the hood, then turn them inside out. We attach both lower parts of our hood to the middle of the neck of the jacket.

We cut out the details for the bottom of our jacket and facing. We connect them with the front sides with the bottom of the jacket and sew.

For a hanger loop, you need to cut a piece of fabric in the form of a 1x8 cm strip. Of course, you can buy finished part, for example, in the form of a chain.

We sew it in the middle while connecting the details of the facing and the edges.

In order to sew a zipper into the product, we apply our zipper face to face on the left and right part of our jacket and carefully sew them. Before applying the zipper, step back from the bottom of the jacket 1 cm. This is done so that the finished product does not stick out at the bottom due to the fastener.

In the same way, we carefully sew the details of the lining of our jacket. Sew on the lining, starting from the bottom of the jacket. Then we sew the sleeves from the main fabric and the lining and connect them to the jacket.

Now the jacket is ready.

Baste the details of the shelf plank together, sew. Then process the darts and iron towards the center.

Then alternately connect the parts from the lining and the main fabric together.
We prepare and cut it out of fabric. We connect and sew the parts of the stand, sewing a collar between them.

Consider the most common options for patterns of autumn and winter jackets. Let's give an example of how to sew a jacket according to a photo of patterns.

You don't have to throw money away on expensive fashion magazines. It is enough just to start your collection of patterns and pamper yourself with new clothes when you feel like it.

When you think about sewing outerwear with your own hands, the main criterion for you is the quality and style of the product. You will not be able to sew such a thing on your own ("out of your head"). So first you have to stock up on patterns. If you spend your time and effort on work, you will succeed in everything.

It's getting colder outside, so it's time to warm up. In this article, we will consider how to sew a women's down jacket with our own hands. The task is quite difficult, but quite doable. Let's add some unique elements that will make our product exclusive.

How to sew a winter down jacket with your own hands

Let's take the oversized style as a basis, which continues to gain popularity among fashionistas. Today we will try to sew quilted down jacket with a hooded collar.

Materials and tools

The outer material for sewing a down jacket can be polyamide, polyester or nylon. All of them consist of synthetic fibers, have increased wear resistance, do not wrinkle, do not let moisture through and protect from wind. Polyamide is also good because it removes evaporation and dries quickly. A distinctive feature of nylon is its lightness, increased water and steam resistance properties.

ATTENTION! If you intend to wear a jacket in conditions of high humidity, then it is better to choose a material with water-repellent impregnation.

In classic down jackets, waterfowl down is used as a filler. because it has natural water-repellent properties. Such fluff will never stick together or fall off, since sweat and human skin fumes do not settle on it. But it will be very difficult for a beginner dressmaker to sew a jacket with such a filler, and it is not cheap, so let's dwell on the very simple version- sintepon.

Choose polyester for lining- synthetic knitted fabric that looks like wool. It is affordable, easy to care for, anti-static and virtually wrinkle-free.

From the accessories, we need magnetic buttons, which we will use as a fastener.

Standard set of tools:

• sewing machine;
• overlock;
• scissors;
• tape measure;
• graph paper;
• pencil;
• needles, pins.

Down jacket pattern

The pattern will be as simple as possible, so we make a minimum of measurements:

• down jacket length;
• back width;
• armhole height;
• the length of the sleeve

IMPORTANT! When taking measurements, it is necessary to immediately lay in them an increase in the freedom of fitting. For outerwear, it is about 8 cm.

We build a pattern drawing

• Down lay the collar width 25–30 cm + the desired length of the down jacket. At the level of the collar we carry out horizontal line. From the upper left point to the right, lay off the width, which is equal to the width of the back * 2 + the width of the smell (about 20 cm) + 6 cm.
• Mark the central axis. From it, at an equal distance, lay armholes, 5 cm wide, 25–30 cm high.
• To build a sleeve pattern, we build a rectangle. It can be made straight or tapered. We measure the width of the armhole according to the drawing of the main part. We make the head of the sleeve rounded.

Cutting materials

• We cut out the main part from the outer material and synthetic winterizer.
• Additionally, from the same fabric we cut two parts of the selection and one collar.
• We cut out the sleeves immediately from the outer fabric, lining and synthetic winterizer.

IMPORTANT! It is necessary to leave 2.5 cm for allowances on each side and 5 cm for processing the bottom.

Stages of sewing a down jacket

• Sections of details from outer and lining fabrics processing on overlock or on sewing machine using a zigzag stitch.
• We fold the main rectangle with the additional detail of the gate face to face, accept, and then grind down them on a sewing machine. Similarly, we sew two selections on the sides.
• We proceed to cutting out the lining for the main part. We cut a rectangle of this size to fill the space on the wrong side between the bands and the collar.
• Carefully we put a synthetic winterizer inside matching corners.
• On the front side, with the help of a remnant, we outline the lines of lines along which we will quilt the fabric. So that the lines do not part, we fix them with safety pins and lay basting ties using a thin needle. On the collar and collars we sew (quilt) 3 layers of material, outer, synthetic winterizer, outer. In the place where the lining will be, we quilt 2 layers - outer material + synthetic winterizer.

ATTENTION! So that the synthetic winterizer does not slip on the fabric, it should first be sewn around the perimeter. Since the fabric turns out to be quite dense, it is more advisable to use a walking or Teflon foot of a sewing machine.

• The same way we quilt the sleeves. When applying a synthetic winterizer to the sleeves, it is necessary to step back 5 cm from the bottom edge (cuff). The insulation is not sewn to the bottom allowance, because it is designed to be folded inward and connected to the lining.
• Machine stitching the shoulder seams. So that in the future the down jacket does not slip off the shoulders, we make two parallel seams at a distance of 2 cm between each other and insert a lace into them, which will be pulled around the neck. The lace can be taken ready, but it is better to sew from the main fabric.
• Sewing the side seams of the sleeves from the outer fabric (which is already quilted with padding polyester) from the wrong side, then we grind the side seam of the sleeve lining. We fold the lining and the main sleeve face to face, sew the lower sections. Turn it inside out and insert the lining inside. Then he tucks the cuff inward, basting, ironing and laying a decorative seam along the front side at a distance of 2-3 mm from the edge.
• We sew the sleeves into the "body" of the jacket. To do this, we find the centers of the okats and connect them with the shoulder seams. We stick them into the armholes with safety pins and tack them in such a way that a small fit is formed. We make a machine seam, the upper thread should pass along the part of the sleeve.
• We sew the main part of the lining. To do this, we put the main part with the synthetic winterizer up and connect it with the lining on three sides, except for the hem.
• Through the bottom edge, turn the down jacket inside out and pin, tack, and then sew on a typewriter lining to the main material. We make a line not reaching the middle of about 10 cm. On the other hand, we do the same operations. Turning out the jacket. We bend and iron the middle. With help safety pins we fix the unsewn area and sew it manually with hidden ties. The lining is sewn on.
• Sew on magnetic buttons at an even distance from each other.
• In addition to buttons, you can add a belt. We cut it immediately on the fabric. The width of the belt detail, taking into account the allowances, is 10 cm, the length is 150 cm. For additional rigidity, we glue non-woven or dublerin with the wrong side. We sew short sections from the inside. We twist, we iron. We make a hem along a long cut by 0.5 - 0.7 cm, iron. We outline and lay a decorative stitch on the front side at a distance of 1-2 mm from the edge.
