1) I sewed trousers without a zipper and side seams. The pattern is easy to make according to yourself using one measurement.
I offer a simple loose model that is sewn without side seams and without a zipper, thereby reducing sewing time significantly.
Fabrics can be chosen in any quality. It depends where you go in them. Cotton is suitable for housework, and something flowy for going out.
To create a pattern, you need to measure the circumference of your hips. Next, do everything according to the pattern. This pattern is for sizes 52-54. The larger the size, the greater the height of the trousers along the waistline. Here she is 29 cm.
The width of the legs is 28 cm. Please note that the fabric is folded along the side seams.
When the trousers are cut, they need to be unfolded and adjustments made. Where it will be in front, lower the waist by 3 cm and draw a straight line to the opposite side and reduce the trouser leg at the top by 3 cm, at the bottom by 1 cm.
There are 2 details here.
How to sew:
- First, I stitched the seat line at the back and the front line (where the zipper usually is). I swept the seams.
- Next, I unfolded the trousers and stitched the step line.
- I turned the fabric 5 cm along the waist line and stitched along the width of the elastic band. If desired, you can make a belt.
- I sewed stitches on the sides of the waistband so that the elastic would not turn over while wearing.
- I also hemmed the trousers.
The whole job took a little over an hour.
2) As a rule, all hats in city stores are the same. For the summer, I sewed one for myself that no one else has.
Headdresses such as hats and panama hats are already quite boring, and even when there is a gust of wind they blow away. I want something new and comfortable.
I propose to sew an interesting model for the summer. The pattern is so precise and simple that sewing takes about an hour. The pattern already has allowances.
The cap consists of three parts - a circle, a visor and an elastic band. If desired, all these parts can be cut out from different colors of fabric. White cotton and stitching will look very elegant.

For the circle you need to prepare a piece of fabric 40x40 cm, to do this, fold it into 4 parts and measure 20 cm from the center, round the line and cut it out.

How to sew:
- Fold the back strip in half lengthwise and stitch along the fold line.
- I prepared a piece of elastic 20 cm long, sewed another line for it, and it turned out to be a drawstring. I inserted an elastic band into it and secured it with stitches along the edges.
- I folded the visor in half and put a sewn elastic band inside on both sides and stitched it. Turned it inside out. This is what it looks like.
- I made 4 notches on the circle. On one side of the semicircle I made 4 folds towards each other, pinned them and stitched them. The visor will be sewn to this part.
- I connected the circle and the visor with an elastic band, overcast the edge, and made a finishing stitch on the front side.
Ready!
The result is an unusual and very comfortable hat with a visor.
Now it’s at least somewhere, the summer heat is not scary.
