How To Sew A Sweatshirt.

1. Introduction: Hi guys and welcome. My name is Mary renew and I am so excited to be here right now, guys, because I'm about to share with you how to make this beautiful sweater. If you are a beginner or don't even have an experience and comes to drafting patterns. Don't worry because this class is definitely for you. We are going to be doing more of taking our body measurement, drafting the pectineus, good pets, and also including the tasks of materials we're going to need afford this course. By the end of this class dies. You definitely have the confidence to make your own sweater. Not only that, but also share that knowledge with your friends and family. So guys, let's not waste any time and jump to the first lesson. See you there. 2. Body Measurements.: Hi guys. Welcome again. Right now we are going to be taking our body measurement over here. I've got my mirror. And we're also going to be using inches on the measuring tape as we're taking our body measurement. So the first one is going to be from shoulder to have length. I'm going to be placing my measuring tape from the shoulder to the hip bone. And that is going to be the first measurement. The second measurement is going to be the best runs a conference. And I'm going to look over the mirror to see if I'm placing the measuring tape correctly around my past. Now, the next measurement we're going to need is the whole round. I am going to replace him a measuring tape around the hole and make sure that it moves around, it's not too tight. The next measurement we're going to need a shoulder measurement. So what we need to do is to place the measuring tape from one shoulder bone to the next. And then we need to take the sleeve length measurement. So I'm going to place the measuring tape right on the shoulder. Grab the measuring tape when using the other hand, and then move it around the hand or twist the measuring tape around the hand. Then on the inside, that's where we're going to read the measurement. So this is how it looks on the side and twist it and the measurement, it's right on the inside. So the measurement that ends on the wrist noted down. The next thing we need to measure the sleeve opening and I'm going to measure the palm of my hand. As you can see, I'm measuring around and make sure that your fingers are wide open. And this is how you take your sleeve opening measurement. These are all the measurements we need right now. So see you on the next lesson. 3. Drafting Front And Back Pattern.: Okay, so now we are going to start by drafting the front pattern. And I am going to mark a straight line to form a guide line where we're going to be placing our body measurement even right here on top. I'm also going to create a guideline. So the first measurement we're going to implement is of course right on the side. And it's going to be the full length, which is going to be 21 " in my case. Then we went to square across the pattern. Once we have done making the full length. Then right on the top, the top line is the shoulder line. From the shoulder line, I am going to mark half of the shoulder measurement, which is going to be 8 ". From that point, I am going to mug again half of the whole round. Then once I'm done, I am going to just connect the two pine from the shoulder to the which is the whole line. And then right on that point there, I'm also going to mark a line across which is going to be the chest line. The next thing is to create our neck line. So I am going to drop the neck depth. It's going to be 3 ", which is going to be for the front. And the neck width is going to be 3.5 inch and which is a standard when it comes to drafting a basic pattern. So this is going to be for the front neck line. Now, I am going to create a shoulder slope. I'm going to drop by half of an inch, then connect the two points to create a shoulder slope. The next thing is to create an m whole. But before we do so, I want to implement my past round circumference. So right on the chest line, you need to find quarter of your past runs, a conference plus 1 " of ease, all half an inch of East depending how wide or loose you want it to be. Then you're going to extend that line all the way down to the full length of the blouse. Now we can go ahead and create our arm hole. Now on that point, I am going to find a center or divide that point into two to create a center point. And then I am going to go on the chest line, go out by 1 ", then create a curve. So this part is going to be for the back. I'm hoping to create a front. Um, whoa, we need on that center point, we need to go in by half of an inch, then blend in the curve to that half inch or two went in by then from that point again connected with this straight line to the shoulder point. So now we have drafted the bag. I'm WHO and the front. I'm also moving along to the next line. We want to drop the neckline by 1 ", which is going to be for the back pattern. So there are actually two neck lines. So just for reference, I'm going to mark back and the other nullcline is going to be for the front. So this is how we draft our pattern. Let's go ahead and cut it out. So cutting at our pattern, I'm first going to cut out the back. I'm WHO? Then I'm going to cut out the back neck line. Then our pattern is going to be cut unfolds. Please make sure that you also mark that onto your pattern. So this is how our pattern look. Let's go ahead and draft the back pectin. Drafting the bag pattern, we need to place the pattern that you've already cut on a new pattern, PayPal. And I'm just going to trace out the way it is. So guys, we have already cut out the bad pattern. Now we need to trim off the front and I'm going to trim off the neck line. As you can see here, this is the whole for the front. I'm just going to remove the tiny piece around the home. So guys, the difference between the front neglect and the back is just that. The neck line for the front is deeper than the back. And also the arm hole for them. Back or for the front pattern is actually deeper than the back. So as I'm placing them together like this, the next thing we need to do is to draft this leaf pattern. 4. Drafting Sleeve Pattern.: Now guys, we are going to be drafting our sleeve a pattern and I'm going to take a new pets and paper and fold it in half. Then take your front a pattern. Carefully measure around the hall. And I'm going to place my measuring tape and move my measuring tape around the hall. And it's going to be 10 " on the patent paper. I'm just going to mark a straight line on top as a guideline. Then you need to measure your circumference divided by 12. And you're going, this is to create the caps height. Place that number on your pattern paper, and create a straight line. From the top line, I am going to mark there, which is my sleeve length of which is going to be 24. Then once I've marked the sleeve length, you make sure that you create a line across the pattern paper. So moving up to the two lines on top, you need to take the, um, **, measurement that we took on our friend pattern and place it in between the two lines as shown on the screen. So mine was 10 " and I'm going to make sure that 10 " actually fits in between the two lines. And it's going to be an n. I'm going to connect the two points and is uv notice it's going to be more of a slanted line. Then the next thing you are going to find, the midpoint of that line. Mine is going to be 5 ". Now, on the center point, we need to move up by half of an inch. Then we're going to connect it from that point all the way to that half inch that we've mapped. Then from that half inch we need to drop the shape a little bit to connect it onto the other side. Now, if you notice, there is a straight line over here. So this curved line is going to represent the front part of this leaf. And then the straight line is going to represent the back part of this leaf. I'm going to mark it for you guys. Now, this is how this leaf looks, the sleeve head looks. So now moving on to creating, shaping the sleeve, you're going to take half of your wrist and measurement. Going to place it right on the bottom line. Then join the two points together from the wrist to this leaf head. And now this is our sleeve pattern. Now catching up our sleeve pattern refers need to cut out the back part of our sleeve, which is the straight line. Then following that curve line for this leaf head. Once we then cutting our sleeve, I am going to open it up and trim off the front part of the sea. And I'm just going to remove that tiny piece. And if you notice, when you close your pets and you are going to notice that the front part is deeper than the back part. So please take note also guys, as we were drafting our pattern at this point, we haven't added any seam allowance, but similar ones. We are going to add seam allowance when we are going to be cutting this pattern on fabric. So see you on the next lesson. 5. Materials: So guys over here, I've got my materials and I'm going to start by showing you here the ribbon. As you can see, it is a one-way stretch and it comes as a tube. So this is the ribbon that we're going to be using when we attaching on the wrist, the neck line including on the bottom opening of our spreadsheet. So over here I've got the main fabric and I'm using a fleece. So you can use any non stretchy material of choice. But me, I choose to use a freeze because it's very warm. And it's actually here is one-way stretch. As you can see this side, there's no stretch. But if I turn it over on the other side, you will see that there is stretch. I'm also going to show you how to cut on this type of material. The last thing we're going to need a universal needle. So these are all the materials that we're going to be using guys too. So our sweat shirt. So see you on the next lesson. 6. Cutting Ribbing And Adding Seam.: So guys, because we are going to be adding a ribbon onto our sweater, we will need to remove at least 2 " from the pattern of which is going to be the width of my ribbon. So what I'm going to do is to take the front a pattern. I am going to remove the two inch width of which is later going to be replaced by the ribbon when we attach it onto the sweater. So I am going to mark 2 " on the front pattern, including the back and also to the sleeve. Instead of cutting this piece out, I'm just going to fold it in. I'm going to do the same thing also to the back piece and my sleeve pattern. Moving on to cutting this pattern onto a fabric. Over here I have my fleas material of which I am going to fold it into half and it is a one-way stretch. So when you're dealing with those type of fabric, make sure that you do fold where the stretch actually go around the body. I will replacing my friend a pattern where there is a way it's unfold, the fabric, It's unfold and then trace around it. Once we're done tracing, now we need to add some seam allowance. Because remember we didn't add similarities when we were drafting the pattern. But I'm not going to add similarities onto the shoulder. That's because when we were drafting, I did go down only by half of an inch. So I'm only going to add similarity and around the, um, **, further bottom, I am going to add 1 " for hemming. And I'm also going to add seem also on the neck line. Now we are done adding seem unto the front pattern. We went to do the same thing for the back, for the backpacks. And I'm also going to trace around and don't forget to add your seam allowance also for the bag pets in the same way we added for the front. Now we are done cutting our front and back piece. We moving along to cutting this leaf. So I am going to fold my fabric into four layers. Then I'm going to take my pets and my sleeve pattern and place it where the fabric It's unfold. Trace around this leaf and add half an inch seam allowance. Now this is how this live. We'll look, I'm going to open it up. And I'm also going to open up my sleeve, a pattern because I want to just cut out the front side of this leaf or trim off that front side of this leaf. Now that we're done cutting all our patterns, this move ahead guys, in cutting the ribbon. Guys, cutting the ribbon for this leaf will need to take this leave pattern piece. And we need to first add to mind is the width of the ribbon. And it's going to be 2 " when it's unfold, which is the two-inch that we did remove onto the pattern. And I'm going to add half an inch, which is going to be foreseen allowance when we attach the ribbon onto this leaf. Now to determine the length, we need to measure the sleeve opening -12 " and I am going to remove 2 " from the length, which is going to be 12 inch. Remember that the ribbon has some stretch. So when we do cut it out or in reduced so the ribbon, it will actually fit onto this leaf opening. So as you can see that the ribbon is shorter than the sleeve opening. And I'm going to go ahead and catch two pieces of this ribbon. Now for the main front and back piece, we need to do the same thing that we did for the front. I am going to take this ribbon over here and I'm just going to open it right on the side. So this is how it looks once I've cut the opening. So I am going to open up the front piece of the sweater. And as you can see, this is how it is. The ribbon. I'm also going to cut it shorter than the bottom part of the sweater. And it's actually going to be 3.5 " shorter than the bottom part of the sweater. Now, for the width of the band, it also has to be 2.5 ". When it's unfold, It's going to be 2.5 inch because the half an inch is going to be for the attachment from the band and the sweater. Now that we have done cutting all the pieces out is ten for us too, so everything together. So see you on the next class. 7. Sewing Sweater And Attaching Ribbing On Neckline.: Okay guys, Welcome again to this class where we are going to be sewing our sweater together. Over here, I've got my front piece in, my big piece, and I'm going to place them right sides facing, take it into the sewing machine. And so right on their shoulders using half an inch seam allowance. And for a neat finishing, I'm going to go ahead and pass it through this term. So now the next thing that is needed is to add a ribbon around the neck line. So what I'm going to do is measure around the neck line and mine is going to be 23 ". So you want to go ahead and also measure the neck line for your own sweater. From the measurement that you find -23, I am going to remove 2 " from it, which is going to be 20 ". This is because the ribbon has its own amount of stretch. So you want to remove a little bit of stretch or ease around the ribbon. And the width of my ribbon is going to unfold, is going to be one-and-a-half inches. So now I'm going to go ahead and fold it in half. And so this side seam of around one or half an inch. Seam of half an inch. And then when you are done, you went to open up this theme. Then close or fold the ribbon in half. Now the next thing is to take this ribbon and attach it onto the neck line. So guys, attaching the ribbon onto the neck line, there are so many ways. But this is the favorite method that I like to use so that the Rubin can spread equally around the neck line. So what I do is after I folded the ribbon into half, I liked to mark the four corners of the ribbon and I'm going to be using my pin. Once I've mapped this kindness, I'm also going to match them together like so. And then mark the other corners of the ribbon. Now once I'm done, I'm going to also mark the four corners on the sweater. So once you're done, you went to match now all the points that you've made around the neck line. So I'm going to now use my pins around the neck line and just match all the points that I've made around or on the neck line. So this is how it will look. Now you went to go ahead and take it to a sewing machine. And so it half an inch seam allowance around the neck line. So guys, this is how it turned out once we're done attaching our binding. So I also went ahead to use my overlook machine. So that's our avoid any frame. And the next thing that you need to do, please make sure that every time you do your work so as to look professional. The next thing is to attach the sleeves right under Steve. I'm just going to fold it in half and just create a notch right on the center. So guys attaching our sleeve, please take note of the two points that I'm going to make. Since this leaf has the front side, makes sure that you place the front side of the main body of the sweater with a friend side of this leaf. The second point, this leave the main body has to be facing each other, right sides facing. Then the next thing you want to pin this lever right on the center, including the two corners so that it will equally spread around the arm hole. Then go ahead and take it to the sewing machine. And so a half an inch seam allowance. Or you can use your surgery. Once we are done attaching this leaves. The next thing that we need to do is to close the side seam. Now for this side, seem just make sure that your sleeve is aligned and also around the Amoco. And you went to go ahead and solve this using your half an inch seam allowance. There we go, guys. This is how it looks right on the side. The next thing that is left for us is to attach the ribbon. So see you on the next class. 8. Attaching Ribbing On Sleeve And Bottom Opening.: So guys, on the previous class, I shared how to actually, So in the side seam. So in this class I am going to be showing you how to attach. Everyone rides on this leaves, including the bottom of our sweater. Now on this I'm going to solo the side seam of the ribbon for both the sleeve and also the bottom of the sweater. I'm going to be using and half an inch seam to close the ribbons. Now once we had done sowing leucine, we need to open it up and then fold the ribbon into half. We went to do this for all the ribbons. So guys, attaching the ribbon onto the bottom of the sweater, makes sure that the sweater is turned inside out. So the next thing is to insert the ribbon right at the bottom. I'm going to mark the corners of the ribbon with a pen. Because when you attaching the ribbon, you went to the sides seem to be facing each other. So I'm just going to pin the corners of attach or match the pins with the side seam form for the sweater. And I'm also going to do the same thing onto the other side. This is how it will look as if it doesn't fit. So when you go into a sewing machine, make sure that you pull the ribbon a little bit. I'm also going to attach the ribbon onto this leaf. Now I'm going to insert it inside and then match the side seams together. So now we want to go head and so this ribbon on to the sweater using a half an inch seam allowance. So you will notice that as I am sewing the ribbon, I'm going to pull it a little bit so that it can spread around. So I'm just going to be pulling it in just half an inch seam allowance and make sure that you hold or USO all the layers together. Once I'm done saving the bottom, you went to do the same thing also unto the sleeve opening. So guys, this is how the sweater turned out. As you can see, this is actually the inside. And I did go ahead and use a surge and also so that they could look nice and professional on the inside. So turning it on the right side, this is how it will look. Awesome. I really love how it turned out. I hope you guys enjoyed making this project as much as I did. And please don't forget to tell me what you actually think about the fit. 9.
