Make Clothing

There are many reasons why you may want to make clothing. If you are interested in fashion design, have some garments in mind that you'd like to make for yourself or simply need to make some alterations to clothing you already own, then it would be beneficial to know how to sew a garment from scratch. You do not need to be a seamstress to learn how to create your own custom apparel. You can learn how to make clothing by following these steps.

Steps

  1. 1
    Decide what article of clothing you would like to make.

  2. 2
    Take the appropriate measurements needed to make a pattern.
    • For pants, you will need the following measurements: waist, hip, crotch depth and full leg length from waist to floor.
    • For shirts, you will need the following measurements: neck, chest, shoulder width, arm length, arm hole length and shirt length.
    • For shorts, use the pant measurements you have, only shortening the pant length to the desired length.
    • For skirts, you simply need waist and hip measurements. The length and fullness of the skirt will vary depending on what type of skirt you want to make.
  3. 3
    Make a pattern. Sketch a pattern for your garment using the measurements you took. Use a similar garment as a guide for the appropriate pattern design and layout.
  4. 4
    Lay your chosen fabric out on a large, flat surface and place the pattern pieces on the fabric. Deciding how to lay your pattern pieces out will take some careful planning.
    • Fold the fabric, right sides facing together, matching selvage to selvage. This will provide for easy cutting of double pattern pieces (sleeves, legs, etc.) and large symmetrical pattern pieces.
    • If you have large pattern pieces that are symmetrical and can be folded down the middle (shirt back, for instance), then fold the pattern piece down the center and pin the folded part of the pattern on the folded edge of the fabric. This saves cutting effort and ensures the cut fabric piece is perfectly symmetrical.
    • To make clothing that hugs the body, it is best to lay pattern pieces on the bias (at a 45 degree angle to the folded edge).
    • To sew a garment that has no stretch, place the pattern pieces at a 90 degree angle to the folded edge.
  5. 5
    Iron any wrinkles out of your fabric.
  6. 6
    Pin pattern pieces to the fabric.
  7. 7
    Cut fabric according to pattern. Be sure to cut through both layers of fabric.
  8. 8
    Remove paper pattern from fabric pattern pieces.
  9. 9
    Determine which edges you must seam together and pin the 2 fabric pieces together, right sides facing together, at the seam edges. Insert the pins at a 90 degree angle from the edge so you don't have to remove them as you sew a garment.
  10. 10
    Sew the fabric pieces together, 1 edge at a time and from 1 end to the other, until you have a completely constructed garment.
  11. 11
    Hem the edges of your garment. Make clothing complete with clean, finished edges.
    • Fold the edge up, wrong side facing in, to the desired width of the hem.
    • Press the fold together.
    • Fold the pressed edge up 1 more time and press again.
    • Sew along the top folded edge of the hem, inside of the garment.
