Level Of Difficulty

Fabric Recommendations

Choose medium-stretch knit fabrics that offer comfort and drape, ideally in three coordinating colors:

Knit fabrics made from natural or blended fibers with moderate stretch

Additional Supplies

Bias tape, 4cm wide, length equal to neckline length + 4cm (or fabric to create your own bias tape)

Cutter's Must

From main fabric:
- Back – 1 piece on fold
- Front – 1 piece
- Left lower front - 1 piece
- Sleeve – 2 pieces
From main fabric 1:
- Middle front – 1 piece
From main fabric 2:
- Right lower front – 1 piece

Tip: Cut pieces from knit fabrics are stitched with a special elastic or narrow zigzag stitch. When serging, trim allowances to 0.8 cm. The hem allowance is topstitched with a twin needle to maintain elasticity. You can also stitch pieces directly on a 3- or 4-thread overlock machine.
