Step-by-step instruction for sewing Panama for children with their own hands

Pattern Panama bell for girls

1. The Panamanian pattern is quite simple and requires only a few measurements:
   • h - depth (measured from ear to ear, through the crown, the value is divided by 2)
   • L - head circumference
   • h 1 - width of fields (we estimate individually)

   In our master class the above values ​​were as follows:

   • h = 30/2 = 15 cm.
   • L = 51 cm.
   • h 1- 7 cm.

2. Panama bell for the girl consists of 6 wedges. We will build one. Consequently, L 1 is the width of one wedge equal to the length of the head circumference divided by 6. L1 = L / 6. In our case: 51/6 = 8.5 cm. We build the pattern as in the figure. Cut the fabric pattern and cut.

3. We need to get 6 identical parts. For convenience, the fabric can be folded several times. We prick the pattern to the wrong side of the fabric with tailor's pins. It should be arranged so that the line h runs parallel to the edge. We surround the part with a simple pencil or soap. We make allowances for seams 1 cm, at the bottom - 1.5 cm and cut.
