Fabric & Materials
Fabric recommendations: low-stretch knit fabric made from natural or blended fibers. YOU WILL ALSO NEED: elastic tape 1 cm wide.
CUTTER'S MUST
IF THE PATTERNS HAVE A DOUBLE CONTOUR, SEAM ALLOWANCES ARE INCLUDED. IF THE CONTOUR IS SINGLE, THE PATTERNS ARE WITHOUT SEAM ALLOWANCES. SEAM ALLOWANCES: Hem allowance for the bottom of the garment and sleeve hem – 1.5 cm; neckline allowance for back, front, and sleeve – 1.5 cm. Other allowances – 0.7 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
- Front – 1 piece
- Sleeve – 2 pieces
Tip: Knit fabric pieces are stitched with a special elastic or narrow zigzag stitch. The hem allowance is topstitched with a twin needle to maintain elasticity. You can also stitch pieces directly on a 3- or 4-thread overlocker.
Sewing Instructions
- Attach sleeves to the front, press allowances towards the front and overcast. Attach the right sleeve to the back, press allowances towards the back and overcast.
- Overcast the neckline edge, press to the wrong side and topstitch.
- Attach the left sleeve to the back, press allowances towards the back and overcast. Place a bartack at the neckline. Stitch the lower edges of the sleeve and side edges in one seam. Press seam allowances and overcast.
- Overcast the bottom edge of the garment and the bottom edge of the sleeve. Press allowances to the wrong side and topstitch, forming casings. Thread elastic tape through the casings and secure the ends.
