Good day, dear readers of the blog "site". I think many mothers will be interested in the topic: how to sew jeans for a child from old jeans papa)). In general, the Internet is full of patterns of children's trousers, but jeans are not just trousers, but stylish jeans with all sorts of cool things (buttons, pockets, etc.). I wanted to make my son just like that).
And today I will show you in detail and describe the whole process.
So, the very first and most important thing is the pattern ....
In general, according to the rules for constructing a pattern of any trousers, measurements are required, then the correct construction of the drawing, which takes 3 hours for beginners to sew.
But we will avoid all this, and build a pattern in 10 minutes. It is designed for a child with a height of 94 - 104 cm, of course, it also depends on the fullness, but this pattern is not for a very thin child, so I made the belt wider on jeans, and the child will wear them with an additional belt. Therefore, the pattern is universal.
Pattern building:
- We begin the construction with a straight line of the side seam of the front and back.
- Next, we complete the horizontal lines of the knee line, the line of the bottom and the line of the seat.
- On the horizontal lines, set aside the desired values. The back half of the jeans is made a little wider than the front, so the sizes are different, so it will be more beautiful.
- Then we draw a step seam
- And the line of alignment of the back and front halves of the trousers (where 15 cm and 20 cm are marked, note that the trousers on the back will be 5 cm higher than on the front). We draw a codpiece on the front of the trousers 3 cm wide and 7-8 cm long. See the photo below
- On the back of the trousers we draw a relief in the upper part - horizontal line(on the side of the side seam, set aside 3 cm on top, and on the other side - 4 cm)
- We mark the rounded line of the side pocket. We will make the burlap of the pocket 13 cm deep (we will draw it directly on the fabric).
We sew jeans for a child from old jeans step by step
We take old jeans:
We cut for convenience along the inner seam:
Cut out the front of the future jeans from the front of the old jeans. I want to note that the old jeans were a little stretched out at the knees, so I cut the pattern of the front of the trousers into 2 parts and then sew them, you get a beautiful relief seam.
The back of the trousers is cut out from the back of the old jeans, remember that we cut out the inserts at the top.
Allowances everywhere took 1 cm.
We also cut out from companion fabrics (and they can be any, I had leftovers old skirt) back pockets of trousers of any shape, and parts for side pockets (in the photo from fabric in a cage - burlap to the body, from red fabric - burlap from the front of the trousers) see photo 1 below
I sew the front of the trousers, stitching the raised seams with a double needle. To be honest, I was too lazy to put a double needle, so I made all the lines with a jeans needle, and then re-sewed with a parallel line at a distance of 4 mm. see photo 2 below
How to make side pockets on jeans?
We sew the upper component to the back of the trousers, we also sew the relief seam with a double line.
Sew on the back halves of the trousers pockets.
Now we sew both halves of the jeans (front and back). I sewed a piping between them.
We process the bottom of the jeans with a double hem and iron it.
Sew the back halves of the jeans along the middle seam.
We also do double stitching.
How to make a codpiece on jeans?
And I will explain briefly. We sweep the line of the codpiece.
We cut out the slope and sew it to the right side of the trousers.
On the left side of the trousers we lay a decorative double stitch, fixing a slope with the main fabric of the top at the base of the codpiece. It’s even better to sew twice in the same decorative stitch so that the seam on the codpiece looks the same as on purchased jeans.
I decided zipper in codpiece do not sew in for the reason that I do not unbutton it on children's trousers, so I will put buttons. I have a special press for this, if you don’t have buttons and a press, you can replace the buttons with buttons.
Here's what the button pad looks like:
How to sew a belt on jeans?
Everything turned out simple for me: the fabric of the old jeans ran out, and I had to come up with something, so I cut the belt from the old skirt.
We measure the length of the upper cut of the trousers, taking into account the codpiece, lay allowances in length and cut out the belt of the desired length and width (width 4 cm + 1 cm allowances).
We apply the belt face to face to the upper cut of the trousers:
We sew on the belt, make an angle from the side of the codpiece and turn it inside out, cut off the allowances inside. I wrote in detail about the design of the belt in this place when I sewed this skirt.
We tuck the allowances of the inner part of the belt, sew into the split seam or along the belt from the front side, securing with this line inner part belts.
We make loops and sew them on. I also put buttons on the side of the pockets for beauty)).
These super jeans came out of "nothing".
