How to sew a beach tunic with your own hands - advice to needlewomen

Before you sew a tunic for the beach you need to prepare an inventory:

• the cloth;
• scissors;
• thread in the color of the fabric;
• needle;
• pins;
• tape measure;
• fastener (if necessary).

When choosing a fabric for sewing tunics, you should prefer natural fabrics with bright, juicy colors. In this case, it is best to choose a non-woven fabric. Well for tunic sewing will suit chiffon, silk, cotton or linen fabric.

Before sewing any tunic, you should first take off your measurements:

• length of sleeve with allowance on seams;
• neck circumference;
• arm circumference;
• length of back to waist;
• length of the dress from the waist down;
• hip girth.

To measure the length of the sleeve of the tunic, it is necessary to extend the arms to the sides and measure the length from the brush to the brush. Since the length of the arm increases when the hand is raised, it is necessary to add an additional 5-6 cm to the resulting length from one hand to the other.

It should be remembered that tunic sleeves are usually wide. Therefore, when drawing patterns, you need to measure its width at least 25 centimeters.

The length of the product itself can vary depending on your wishes.

Stitch the tunic with an ordinary stitch or overlock.
