I want to increase the size of /dev/sda1 by using the size of unallocated space.

In GParted:

Right click on sda3, choose Resize/Move and slide it completely to the right.
Right click on sda1, choose Resize/Move and resize it fitting the unallocated space.

I would suggest to include "swapoff" too :) – Severus Tux Feb 03 '16 at 12:16
