Many needlewomen, using the skills of cutting and sewing, are independently engaged in sewing trousers to obtain an original and unique product. A special place in sewing is occupied by the processing of codpiece. Knowing the distinctive features and observing the progress of work, processing the codpiece does not take much time.
Process Preparation
The main feature of such a detail is the grinding . This is a familiar strip of material that hides a zipper. Classical products without this piece of material look tasteless, and sometimes vulgar. Therefore, sharpening on classic trousers is extremely necessary.
The slope is 2 parts that are located under the sewn zipper. It guarantees comfort when zipping.
Before sewing, it is necessary to prepare all the materials necessary for sewing.
Instruments:
- pin pencil (chalk is also suitable);
- sewing centimeter or ruler;
- safety pins;
- threads matching the product;
- lightning;
- needle;
- sewing machine.
When all the materials and tools are ready, you can get to work.
Advice! Sewing work must be carried out on a horizontal flat surface.
Processing codpiece on men's trousers
Processing codpiece should be started when the trousers, with the exception of the lower hem, are completely ready. In the male version, the component is located from left to right.
Working process:
- We place the trousers on the wrong side and try on the location of the zipper. We put the first mark. Then we note the conclusion of the lightning, put the second mark.
- Using safety pins, gently connect the trousers along the middle seam, connecting the location of the marks. We grind the legs, gradually removing unnecessary pins. On the back, at the seam, it is necessary to leave a plot of about 15 cm.
- Having retreated about a centimeter, we carefully treat the right side with an iron in the area of the allowance for lightning. After processing with small stitches, sew the zipper.
- Now the cut for the bounce remains unprocessed. It must be processed with an overlock.
- After processing, we slowly unhook the slope and the all-cut grind, watching for the correct arrangement of the slices. We turn the trousers on the front side, grind. Now you need to iron the part again.
- After processing, carefully weave the part under the zipper (on the right side) and sew to the product.
- We carefully treat the left side of the codpiece with the iron on the wrong side. Using pins we connect the left and right canvas, we monitor the location of the front line. Sew the whole-cut area to the lightning braid. Without touching the slope, we draw a line along the left leg. In the lower part, we grab the slope when laying the seam.
- If there is a pad, it can be fully attached to the codpiece either on one side.
Processing a female version of pants with a codpiece
The main difference between classic women's trousers is the location of the codpiece and its components: from right to left. Otherwise, the progress is almost identical to the previous version.
Reference! Modern fashion designers and couturiers produce women's products with a free arrangement of codpiece. Also, when sewing, fabric of a different shade is often used.
Processing Steps:
- First of all, it is necessary to note the measurements of the location of the lightning. Then proceed to sewing.
- Carefully wrap the inner right edge of the facing and overlay the right side of the trouser leg with the front side. Sew on, cut off excess seam allowances.
- Fold the front sides and grind the cuts.
- Now we connect the sewing machine to work: we skip the line along the right edge.
- We carefully treat the left side with a hot iron from the wrong side. With the help of safety pins, we pin the zipper to the trousers. We sharpen our fastener on a sewing machine. We fasten the other half of the zipper to the right side and lay the line, gradually removing the pins.
- We notice the sharpening to the right half of the trousers, not reaching the bottom edge of a few millimeters.
- Fold the slope and grind off the rounded part of the slices. Then carefully ironed. Pins fasten the components to the left half over the braid. The cut allowance must be sewn with a slant from the left edge.
- We lay the finishing line to the end of the zipper and fasten the slope. Then we sew a line on the front half of the trousers.
Processing completed. The technological process takes no more than an hour of free time.
Advice! For competent work, many experts recommend small training on the processing of codpiece on unnecessary items of clothing.
Conclusion
Processing codpiece and its components occupies a special place when sewing classic trousers. Illiterate actions or the wrong sequence of steps can lead to damage to the product, and it is quite difficult to correct the errors that have occurred. Compliance with all recommendations and the correct calculations will help to conduct accurate and consistent processing, making the product attractive and unique.
