Cutter's Must

If the patterns have a double contour, then the patterns include seam allowances. If the contour is single, then the patterns do not include seam allowances. Seam allowances: all seams 1 cm. Hem allowance for the bottom edge of the garment and sleeve hem – 1.5 cm. 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 (do not forget to account for paired and symmetrical pieces). When stitching pieces, pay attention to the notches - they must match!

From main fabric:
- Back - 1 piece on fold
- Yoke – 1 piece
- Front – 2 pieces
- Sleeve – 2 pieces
- Collar stand — 2 pieces
- Placket – 4 pieces
From fusible interfacing:
- Collar stand – 1 piece
