Fabric & Materials
FABRIC RECOMMENDATIONS: blouse fabrics made of natural or blended fibers, lace with a scalloped edge. YOU WILL ALSO NEED: fusible interfacing, 5 buttons.
CUTTER'S MUST

SEAM ALLOWANCES: hem allowance - 2.0 cm, other seams - 1 cm, sleeve hem allowance - 0 cm. The sleeve hem is cut along the scalloped edge. 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.
