How to sew a sleeve?
There are a huge variety of varietiessleeves: a flashlight, raglan, vtachnoy, expanded on the pellet and others. But the most common ways of how to sew a sleeve are only two: classic, i.e. vtachnoy sleeve and sleeve shirt cut. In both cases, the work is done with the ready-made sleeve and shoulder seam of the product.
For sewing the sleeves are prepared:
- product;
- sewing needle;
- thread;
- sharp scissors;
- sewing machine;
- tailor's needles;
- iron.
How to sew a sleeve
- At the beginning of the work, transfer the test cuts from the pattern to the available sleeve and armhole. In the future, they will need to be combined.
- When working with a vtaknym sleeve (with a high pellet), first sew the seams on the sides and shoulders of the product, as well as all the seams on the sleeve. If you know the exact length of the sleeve, you can work out and its bottom.
- Make a landing within the bounds of the pellet of the sleeve. This is done as follows: between the control notches, the machine line is laid with a stitch 4 mm in size with an interval of 3-5 mm from the next weld stitch. Then the string is pulled together, pulling on that thread, which is better suited. This assembly should be done lightly and evenly. This is required in order for the sleeve to take the shape of a rounded shoulder.
- Having combined the control notches(aligning the middle of the sleeve over the casing with the shoulder seam and the mark on the sleeve with a notch on the armhole), insert the sleeve turned out into the armhole, and fix it from the wrong side of the future product. Do this by placing needles perpendicular to the slice every 5-7 cm. Then sweep the sleeve, evenly spreading the fit with your fingers.
- Carefully iron the planting. Stick in the sleeve, passing the machine stitch, controlling the correct distribution of the landing. Make sure that the line has turned out to be even, and again go through a new machine stitch exactly like a seam in the seam. This approach will ensure the strength of the product. Seam the sleeves also iron.
- Now let's talk about the secondway: how to sew a sleeve into the armhole, if the sleeve of the shirt cut. The height of the pellet at this sleeve is small, and the pellet itself is stretched to a greater extent, and therefore the processing sequence here will be different. Similar sleeves are used in free-cut products. In this way, it is possible to make the sewing of the sleeve considered above, but only if it is needed in an elastic material without seating on the sleeve.
- The lateral seam, like the seam of the sleeve, is notAre processed, and landing is not carried out. Simply align the control marks and, as indicated above, secure with pins along the cut. Such a sleeve can be immediately grinded on the machine, skipping the sifting, since it does not have a landing.
- Walk through the iron on the seam of the grinding. Align and fasten all sections of the product, and the lengths of the sleeves and the armhole seam, as well as the lengths of the lateral sections of the future product, must coincide. Carefully follow the machine stitching and iron the stitch.
