Hello. Dear readers! Today I want to tell you story about that, how my son and I argued with the director in the second grade that we had the right to choose what language to teach him - English or German, and what came of it.

And along the way I’ll teach you how sew a school uniform for a primary school girl, or rather, not the entire uniform, of course, but a sundress, and even more precisely, I will pay special attention to the processing of the neckline with the armhole and shoulder seams. More details. Now I am preparing to release an e-book on how to cut, sew a sundress like this for a girl in all the smallest details. And there will be patterns in the book not only for this sundress, but also for 3 more models, each in 3 sizes.

For first-graders, a sundress with a turtleneck or blouse is convenient; nothing needs to be constantly adjusted. Children always straighten their skirts into a blouse, especially a silk one.

This also applies to boys. My son, when he was in first grade, always, no matter how you walked into his school, the first thing she always did was tuck in the back of his shirt, you couldn’t see it.

And along the way, I’ll share how we solved the problem of dividing the class into learning a foreign language. We wanted to learn English, but we were assigned to a German group. But more on that later.

When your child goes to first grade, of course this is an event. And you will buy him or her the best backpack, the most beautiful shoes, the most beautiful flowers for the first teacher and, of course, the most beautiful and comfortable uniform. This is where the problems begin.

The school immediately offers to decide on the color of the uniform for the entire class: either gray, blue, black or burgundy (each class has its own color). My son's class was blue. My parents and I agreed at a meeting, and in parallel 1″b there was a gray uniform.

In general, a uniform at school is convenient and parents don’t have to think about what the child will wear tomorrow (not like going to kindergarten, my daughter presents me with a dress code every morning: if I don’t wear this, I don’t like it, but what wants, in the wash). And for the children - whether it’s the son going to school in the morning - there’s nothing to choose - I sewed two identical trousers for him, the third is a formal dress for the weekend. I bought more fish, about 5 of them, and a knitted vest. I just make sure everything is clean and ironed. In the morning I got up, got dressed myself, left and no problem.

But it's easier with boys. It's more difficult with girls. School uniforms for girls nowadays are sets, not like before - a dress and an apron. Nowadays, although schools do not strictly require uniforms, they still need to have quite a lot of things - for example, for girls they offer sets of sundress - blouse, skirt - vest - blouse, or jacket - skirt - blouse. Pants are also allowed. And there are at least 3 such sets you need some things, your girl won’t wear the same sundress all year. Total: skirt, trousers, sundress, vest, jacket, several blouses. Go and pick everything up at the store.

You can’t put the whole set together in one range. For example, a suit is for sale: a jacket and trousers, but we also need a skirt of the same kind, but we don’t have it. Or you have your eye on a cute sundress, but it is not the color that is accepted in your class. Or you can’t choose the size - mine is now 6 years old, but for some reason the size is 34, according to the table of standard sizes this is class 3-4, which means that if you buy in her size, then the growth will be large, that is, long sleeves and the length of the item is extra .

But my problem with this is solved - I sew myself. And in this article I’ll tell you and show you how to sew a school sundress for a girl.

Sundress for example.

This is a sundress, the silhouette is slightly trapezoidal. The bodice has reliefs with finishing stitches on the front and back. Seam below the waistline. No clasp. The skirt is straight, with 6 pleats at the front and back - 3 on the left and 3 on the right. Decorated with decorative flaps and a belt with a buckle, inserted into loops sewn into the seam of the skirt to the bodice.

How to sew a school sundress:

1 - Cut out all the details of the sundress: bodice, skirt, flaps, don’t forget the loops, belt, facings (the patterns have facings).

2 - Stitch and overcast the front and back reliefs, iron towards the center. Apply a finishing stitch along the reliefs.

3 - Stitch, overcast and press the side seams of the bodice and facings.

4 - Baste the facing to the back neckline and armholes. Feature - we process the armholes and neckline first, then the shoulder seams.

Pay attention to the photo below. Baste and iron the shoulder seam on the facing, it’s more convenient. And only after this can you sew the facings along the neckline and armholes.

5 - Sew the facing to the neckline of the back and front, to the armholes with a seam 0.7 cm wide, cut off the seams, turn the facing inside out and sweep out the seams. Iron.

6 - Sew the shoulder seams (the reserve shoulder seams of the facings are turned inward, there is no need to touch them).

Then tuck the reserve shoulder seams inside, under the facing (in different directions), baste, hand stitch the shoulder seam of the facing and press.

6 - Process the side seams and bottom of the skirt, flaps, belt, loops.

7 - Fold, baste and press the pleats.

8 - Baste the flaps and loops to the skirt, sew the skirt to the bodice.

9 - Overcast and press the seam upwards, sew a finishing stitch 0.1 cm.

10 - Bend the belt loops up and secure them with a seam back and forth.

11 - Secure the flyaway seams of the facings to the side seams and reliefs.

12 - Iron the sundress and insert the belt.

It's that simple sew a school uniform, or rather - sew a sundress for a girl.

And now the story of how our school treats its students.

Nowadays, a foreign language in secondary school begins to be introduced in the second grade. At a meeting back in first grade, the teacher announced that our class would be divided into two groups - German and English - and she would divide it herself.

And our whole class wanted to learn English. Well, what can you do? I have nothing against German, but Seryoga and I started studying English in kindergarten and he liked it.

Then, in the fifth grade, they will also introduce a second foreign language, only as an additional one, and probably for a fee. But English still comes in handy more often than not. Why does he need German? For general development?

So, I immediately approached the teacher and asked her to enroll us in the English group. And at the beginning of the second grade they announced to us that we were enrolled in German after all. I asked why not to the English one, she said everyone wants to go there, and that she herself decided so.

I went to the director and she said that the school itself decides what language my son will study, I ask: “what about our right to choose,” she says: “you have no choice, the school is with an English-German bias, and If everyone only learns English, then the German teacher will be left without a job.”

And not at all. All this got me excited. I understand everything: that the school is English-German, and that the teacher needs to earn money, but I don’t understand why my son doesn’t have the right to study English like half the class. And I called our local administration, found the education commissioner, introduced myself and asked a question that concerned me, she listened to everything and said: “We’ll figure it out.” And in the evening I called our teacher, and she said that our entire class would learn English. Interestingly, the teacher will be a German teacher. This is how our problem was solved, for which thanks to that woman from the administration. But why didn’t the school director settle everything right away? After all, a way out was found, and it was simple. And what do you think? It seems to me that the habit of “leading” sometimes extends to the wrong places.

Over the past 20 years, school uniforms have undergone significant changes. Previously, we could only observe monotonous brown dresses, on which the cuffs and aprons were changed. Nowadays it has become the object of attention of fashion designers, which led to the creation of a separate class of clothing. School uniforms can be divided into winter and summer and contain from two to six parts. Today we will look in detail school sundress, photo sewing process and description provided by M.Y. CODe.

School sundress pattern

Basic materials

The basis was taken from an existing set of clothes purchased in a store, so no pattern was created.

The task was to sew exactly the same school sundress for a girl with a height of 132 cm.

For sewing, we took electric blue gabardine with a standard width of 1.5 m and a length of 1.2 m. Gabardine is a non-stretch fabric. No preliminary decating was carried out, since it is not subject to shrinkage.

One of the problems with gabardine fabrics is that the edges fray when working. During the sewing process, we were repeatedly faced with the need to process the edges using an overlocker.

Sewing is conventionally divided into three stages: cutting (stage 1), skirt sewing (stage 2), assembling the upper part of the school sundress (stage 3).

Stage one. Uncover

Our school sundress consists of the following parts:

— Two skirt panels (main detail). The front and back are cut out using one pattern.

— Front shelf – one piece (main part).

— Rear shelf – two parts (main part). A secret snake is sewn between them

- Turning. The shape of the front and rear shelves is repeated. Three parts - one wide and two narrow. In short, the main details are half. Sewn onto the inside of the sundress.

— Decorative belt. The pattern shows 1/4 of the belt. Those. to obtain the desired length you need to increase 4 times the length.

We cut out the main parts of the pattern, laying them out along the grain. The facings can be laid out as convenient. The belt can be laid out on the fabric both longitudinally and transversely. All patterns come with allowances.

Sew a school sundress

2.1. First of all, we prepare the skirt. It is necessary to lay folds from the center of the skirt along the notches that we made on the top and bottom of the skirt panel. The folds are placed towards the side seams. Secure them with pins.

2.2. We set the maximum seam on the machine and sew the skirt along the waist and bottom (the widest and narrowest sides).

2.3. We smooth them out with an iron. And let the fabric cool on the ironing board. (We will unravel the bottom line later; it is necessary to make it easier for us to smooth out the folds).

Top assembly

3.1. Now we take the two main parts of the back and use an overlocker to process the places where the hidden snake is sewn on (the center of the back).

3.2. We put a one-sided foot and sew a snake on top on the left half of the back.

Then to the right.

3.3. Then we connect the waist seam of the back with the skirt (the narrowest part with the folds) and sew a finishing seam along the upper part onto the foot.

3.4. We also connect the front front and the skirt. We overlock the side seams and the bottom of the skirt. Treatment sites are shown with a red line.

3.5. Sew the front and back of the face to the face along the side and shoulder seams.
The preparation of the top is finished.

3.6. Now let's move on to the facing. Sew it along the shoulder and side seams.

The bottom needs to be overlocked.

3.7. We connect the neck of the sundress and the facings together, stitch it on a machine, notch it from the inside and set it off by 0.1 mm for better laying out of the neck.

3.8. Now you need to connect the facing and the top along the armhole (where you stick your hand). To do this, fold them together in the area of the shoulder seam (the narrowest place), and then turn the edges away from you, it is better to secure the result with a pin.

Be sure to hold the edges when sewing so that the fabric does not move away.

3.9. So we sewed one side

Now we sew the opposite part of the first armhole without turning, simply connecting the edges.

Make the second armhole in exactly the same way and notch the inner edges of the seam.

3.10. Sew a finishing line 0.1 along the facing around the armhole, as on the neckline, as far as the presser foot allows. Trying to stitch completely in a circular pattern will not work, the place in the shoulder seam is too narrow

3.11. Close the snake by sewing the facing to the back

3.12. Hem the bottom along the hem (dotted line on the pattern).

3.13. Fold the belt in half. When finished, the width of the belt is 2 cm. Sew along the entire length, turn it inside out and press it. Sew a buckle onto the open end. Make belt tacks at the folds of the skirt and side seams. Fasten the end of the belt through the buckle.

The school sundress is ready!

You can download our pattern at the beginning of the article in the archive, print it and use it for yourself.

The Day of Knowledge is a bright and special holiday for all generations, but above all, it is a holiday for our children, who set off on an exciting, difficult, but rewarding journey for knowledge.

In this master class, I will tell you how to sew a school uniform for a girl with your own hands. I took the A-line dress model from Burda 3/2016 as the basis for the school dress, adding some interesting accents to the basic pattern.

Pattern:

128, 134, 140, 146, 152

The beauty of this A-line linen dress lies in its finishing. Neck and patches...

Step 1

On the front paper pattern we mark the lines of the design features of the future school dress. To do this, set aside the required number of centimeters on the shoulder seam line from the neckline. We do the same on the line of the middle of the front and draw the line of the future plastron in a smooth arc.

To perform this operation, you can use special tailor's rulers and patterns (). We cut off our plastron from the front part.

On the paper pattern of the plastron, mark the line for stitching the strap: from the line of the middle front at a distance of half the width of the finished strip (1 cm), draw a parallel straight line. Here the width of the strip is 2 cm.

Let's cut it off.

Step 2

We cut out the details of the dress with an allowance of 1.5 cm, and 4 cm for the hem of the bottom of the product.

For the plastron part, we cut out a rectangle of such length that the length of the paper pattern fits, and a width equal to the width of the paper pattern plus 5 cm: this is the allowance for making tucks on the plastron.

For the planks, we cut out two rectangular parts with a length equal to the length of the plank cut from the plastron plus 2 cm for allowances, and a width equal to twice the width of the finished plank plus 2 cm for allowances = 2+2+2=6 cm. We duplicate the planks on the wrong side adhesive material G785.

Performing a plastron

Step 3

Pintucks are a classic way of finishing clothing parts, used for many thin and medium-density materials. This is a great way to decorate a school uniform for a girl, sewn with your own hands.

On rectangular parts under the plastron, we mark tuck lines: to do this, mark 1.5 cm from the line of stitching the strap and draw the first tuck line. We will make tucks at a distance of 1.5 cm from each other. Options may vary depending on the size of the part, the purpose of the garment, the density of the material and preference.

To correctly calculate the amount of fabric required to make pintucks, try sewing pintucks on a piece of the material from which you are sewing the product. Depending on the density and thickness of the material, one tuck may require 2-6 mm.

Step 4

To make tucks we will use a special foot. We also install a double needle on the machine with a distance of 1.6−2.5 mm (depending on the density of the material). We thread the machine with two needle threads. Increase the tension of the bobbin thread by slightly turning the bobbin case adjusting screw to the right. Thanks to this, the tucks will look more prominent.

We sew one fold along the markings. When making the second tuck, to ensure parallelism, place the already sewn fold into the groove of the foot. Thanks to this, the distance between the tucks will always be the same. This is the case for tucks located at a short distance from each other.

If the distance between the tucks is more than 6 mm, then you can use the ruler-guide included with the machine.

If you want to enhance the relief of the pintucks, you can attach a tab for sewing pintucks to the front edge of the needle plate, the guide of which will lift the fabric while sewing, increasing the volume of the pintuck.

Using a loose thread gives a similar effect, but the folds become wider. However, they work without a tongue.

When sewing pintucks, the fabric should be slightly stretched. Pintucks can only be ironed from the wrong side on a soft backing.

Learning together with the site

After making tucks on the right side of the plastron, we perform them on the left side, remembering to do this in a mirror image.

We cut out the plastron parts from the resulting fabric with tucks. And we adjust the pre-decorated cotton lace between the tucks.

Step 5

We fold the planks in half lengthwise, facing inward, and grind one (!) short cut on each plank.

We trim the allowances to 5 mm, diagonally in the corners. We turn it inside out, straighten the corner, iron it, folding the bar lengthwise in half with the wrong side inward.

Step 6

At a distance of 2 cm from the fold, mark the stitching line.

Step 7

We combine the bar and the cut of the plastron along the stitching line. In this case, the neck allowance on the plastron protrudes beyond the processed edge of the bar at the top.

Step 8

We grind. Stitch it.

Press and press the front seam allowances.

We mark loops along the right bar. We sew loops on the machine.

Step 9

We combine the planks, placing the right one on the left one, and chop it off, aligning the top processed edges. We chop off the lower raw cuts and sweep them away.

Step 10

We pin the plastron to the front along the alignment line, starting from the line of the middle of the front. Sew from the middle to the shoulder seams. We direct the pintuck allowances from the middle of the front on each side. We stitch and overcast.

Step 11

We iron the allowances and press them onto the product without pressing, trying not to push the allowances onto the front side and not to deform the texture of the pintucks.

Coming soon!

Step 12

We sew the shoulder seams on the school dress, starting/ending the stitching exactly at the marked neck line. We sew separately and iron the seam allowances. We also sew the shoulder seams on the neck facing details, without overcasting the edges. We iron the seam allowances and trim them to 5 mm, diagonally in the corners.

We sew the outer edge of the facing with an overlocker.

Step 13

We turn the bar on each side onto the product and secure it with a pin.

Step 14

We pin the facing to the neck of the school dress face to face, matching the shoulder seams and the mid-back line. We grind.

In this case, the allowance along the front cut of the front protrudes beyond the processed bar.

Step 15

We adjust the seam allowance to the facing at a distance of 1 mm from the seam. We trim the allowances close to the stitching.

Step 16

We bend the facing to the front side and combine the allowance along the front cut on the facing with the stitching seam of the strap along the front cut.

And we grind it down.

Step 17

We cut the allowances to 5-7 mm and turn them inside out, straightening the corner. Iron it.

Step 18

We turn the facing inside out and iron it.

Step 19

Match the shoulder seams on the school dress and facing and secure by hand. Mark the location of the buttons and sew them on.

Step 20

We sew the side seams of the dress, overcast and iron the allowances. We sew over the hem allowances at the bottom. Iron and turn 4 cm to the wrong side.

We baste close to the overlock stitch and

We file for permanent purposes.

If there is not enough allowance for hem at the bottom, you can do it with lace or with a strip of main or lining fabric. In a hand-sewn school uniform, such trim will serve as an additional decor.

: Master Class

Step 21

Using the sleeve lapel allowances, we lay two parallel landing lines, having previously loosened the tension of the upper thread.

Step 22

We sew the seams on the sleeves, overcast and iron them.

We sew the bottom of the sleeve. Iron and turn 4 cm to the wrong side. We baste it close to the overlock stitch and hem it with hand-held, hidden, loose, permanent stitches in the same way as the bottom of the product.

Step 23

We sew in the sleeves, placing them at the edges and aligning the control marks on the armhole and the sleeve edge. We overcast the allowances.

Iron the stitching allowances. Iron the seam allowance at the top of the sleeve cap onto the sleeve. In the lower part - on the edge.

Preparing the pattern

Print out the pattern sheets and connect them according to the diagram. The pattern is the order in which the pattern sheets are connected. It is printed on the first sheet.

Be sure to check the scale for consistency. On a printed sheet with a 10x10 cm square depicted, sides of 10 cm should correspond to exactly 10 centimeters. To do this, in the printer settings, set the document print scale to 100% (no scaling).

After gluing the sheets (this is convenient to do with a glue stick or narrow tape), carefully cut out the pattern pieces.

The pattern is given without seam allowances.

Details of the cut of the sundress dress

Back 2 parts
Front bodice 1 piece with fold
Side of the front bodice 2 parts
Skirt front panel 1 piece with fold
Back panel of skirt 2 parts
Skirt details are cut according to one pattern

When cutting, don't forget to allow seam allowances!

Sewing a sundress dress.

The processing of the neckline and armholes of the summer version of the sundress involves edging with bias tape made from the main material, or you can use a ready-made one. The bodice of a sundress dress for the cool season is recommended to be lined (cut according to the main details). The processing of a sundress dress depends on the material and, if synthetic fibers have an advantage in its composition, then the dress should be completely sewn with a lining, both the bodice and the lower part.

For those who want to create a pattern for a specific child’s figure based on the measurements taken, we have a detailed
