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: all seams 1 cm. Hem allowance – 1.5 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. Attention! Markings on the patterns are on the right side!

From main fabric (first colour):
- Back Yoke – 1 piece
- Front Yoke – 1 piece
- Upper Sleeve – 2 pieces
- Stand Collar – 1 piece
- Front Inset – 1 piece
From main fabric (second colour):
- Back – 1 piece
- Left Front – 1 piece
- Right Front – 1 piece
- Lower Sleeve – 2 pieces
- Cuff – 2 pieces

Sewing Instructions

When stitching pieces, pay attention to the notches - they must match! Tip: Knit fabric pieces are stitched with a special elastic or narrow zigzag stitch. When serging, trim seam allowances to 0.6 – 0.8 cm. The hem allowance is topstitched with a twin needle to maintain elasticity.

Stitch the Back Yoke to the Back, press the seam allowances upwards and serge.
Stitch the Front Inset to the Left Front and Right Front, press the seam allowances towards the Front Inset and serge. Stitch the Front Yoke to the front, press the seam allowances upwards and serge.
Stitch the shoulder seams, press the seam allowances towards the back and serge.
Stitch the Upper Sleeve and Lower Sleeve together, press the seam allowances upwards and serge. Set the sleeves into the open armholes, press the seam allowances towards the sleeve and serge.
Stitch the side seams and sleeve seams in one continuous seam, press the seam allowances and serge.
Stitch the Cuff into a ring and press the seam allowances open. Fold the Cuff in half lengthwise, wrong sides together, and press. Stitch the Cuff to the lower edge of the sleeve, stretching it slightly. Press the seam allowances and serge.
Stitch the Stand Collar into a ring and press the seam allowances open. Fold the Stand Collar in half lengthwise, wrong sides together, and press. Stitch the Stand Collar to the neckline, stretching it slightly. Press the seam allowances and serge.
