Choosing a sweater
Do not spend too much money and time on the first pair of svitbryuk. We'll have to perform with them all sorts of audacity - to cut, sew, and probably you will have to make several attempts before you hand in the art of nabote Svitbryukovaniya. Therefore, choose a sweater that especially does not cause you some strong emotions and affections.
But it is better to give preference to sweaters, which contains in its composition of natural fibers such as wool or angora, and which are easy and quick to sew by hand (estimated by touch). Some knitted sweaters and thin acrylic hard to sew by hand, because the fibers can simply raspolztis in different directions after you make an incision and begin their work. Try different kinds of sweaters, to find out which ones are best for you.
Sweaters, whose sleeves with low armhole - the best candidates for svitbryukovanie. Sweater is worn upside down: the feet will be in the armhole and waist is where usually the trunk. Sleeves and armhole are likely to be a little too narrow for you - it all depends on your size and shape. But the waist, on the contrary, is often too broad. Therefore, it is necessary to redraw. You can, of course, just to make the belt and insert a rubber band, but there are more than adequate and beautiful way.

2 connect the shoulder seam and fastening them together with pins. 10 cm sew: 5 cm on either side of the shoulder seam allowance 2.5 cm at the seams.
step 5

Yellow line = Tuck Front
Blue line = Existing seams armhole sweater
Pink Arrows = direction, which are folded fabric (upper fold is on top of the sleeves, nalezaet them at an angle of ~ 90º)
Excess tissue cut is not necessary, just to bend the fabric on the figure - do fold. Buckle as long as necessary; height trousers adjust to your liking. At this stage, you can do the crotch trousers more or less baggy.
One end of the folds (the one closer to the center) are held together with a gusset. On the sides and held together by pins. It turns out that when the fabric buckling, the upper fold like nalezaet on the legs at an angle of about 90º.
