Cutter's Must

Attention! First of all, print out the paper patterns and lay them out on the fabric width (fabric width can be from 90cm to 150cm) to determine how much material you will need (don't forget to account for paired and symmetrical pieces). When stitching pieces, pay attention to the notches - they must match!

From main fabric:
- Upper back – 1 piece on fold
- Lower back - 1 piece
- Upper side front – 2 pieces
- Lower front – 1 piece
- Center front – 1 piece
- Back neckline facing – 2 pieces
- Front neckline facing – 2 pieces
From main fabric 1:
- Center front – 1 piece

Tip: Cut pieces from knit fabrics are stitched with a special elastic or narrow zigzag stitch. When serging, trim allowances to 0.6 – 0.8 cm. The hem allowance is topstitched with a twin needle to maintain elasticity.
