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 – 2 cm. Attention! First, 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! Attention! Markings on the patterns are on the right side!

Cut a bias strip 3 cm wide and 7 cm long. Fold the strip in half lengthwise and stitch at 0.3 cm from the fold. Trim allowances and turn the piece right side out. Adjust the loop length.
Place collar stand pieces right sides together and stitch along the outer edge and ends, inserting the loop, starting and ending the stitching precisely at the collar stand attachment line. Clip allowances at curves, trim corners, turn the collar stand right side out, shape, and press. Attach the outer collar stand to the neckline, turn under the raw edge of the inner collar stand, and topstitch into the attachment seam.
