Fabric & Materials

FABRIC RECOMMENDATIONS: knit fabric with high or medium stretch from natural or blended fibers. YOU WILL ALSO NEED: knit fusible interfacing; 6 buttons. 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 for the garment bottom and sleeve – 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 (do not forget to account for paired and symmetrical pieces). WHEN STITCHING PIECES, PAY ATTENTION TO THE NOTCHES - THEY MUST MATCH!

CUTTER'S MUST

• From main fabric:
  • Back - 1 piece on fold
  • Front - 1 piece on fold
  • Sleeve - 2 pieces
  • Placket - 2 pieces
  • Tab – 2 pieces
  • Collar stand — 2 pieces
• From fusible interfacing:
  • Collar stand - 1 piece
  • Placket - 1 piece

Tip: Cut pieces from knit fabrics are stitched with a special elastic or narrow zigzag stitch. When serging, trim seam 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.
