Fabric & Materials

Fabric recommendations: medium-stretch knit fabric made from natural or blended fibers.

CUTTER'S MUST

IF THE PATTERNS HAVE A DOUBLE CONTOUR, SEAM ALLOWANCES ARE INCLUDED. IF THE CONTOUR IS SINGLE, SEAM ALLOWANCES ARE NOT INCLUDED. SEAM ALLOWANCES: hem allowance – 1.5 cm, other seams 1 cm. ATTENTION! FIRST, PRINT OUT THE PAPER PATTERNS AND LAY THEM OUT ON THE FABRIC WIDTH (fabric width can be from 90 cm to 150 cm) TO DETERMINE HOW MUCH MATERIAL YOU WILL NEED. WHEN STITCHING PIECES, PAY ATTENTION TO THE NOTCHES - THEY MUST MATCH!

• From main fabric:
  • Back – 1 piece on fold
  • Center front – 1 piece on fold
  • Side front – 2 pieces
  • Yoke – 2 pieces

Sewing Instructions

Tip: Knit fabric pieces are stitched with a special elastic or narrow zigzag stitch. When serging, trim allowances to 0.6 – 0.8 cm. The hem allowance is topstitched with a twin needle to maintain elasticity.

1. Stitch the front princess seams, press allowances towards the center and serge.
2. Attach the yoke to the front, press allowances towards the yoke and serge. Attach the yoke to the back on the right side, press allowances towards the yoke and serge.
3. Cut a bias strip, 4 cm wide, length equal to neckline length + 4 cm. Fold the binding in half right sides out and press. Place the binding on the wrong side of the neckline and stitch. Turn to the right side and topstitch.
4. Attach the left side of the yoke to the back, press allowances towards the yoke and serge. Place a bar tack on the neckline at the level of the yoke attachment seam.
