Cutter's Must

If the patterns have a double contour, seam allowances are included. If the contour is single, the patterns are without seam allowances. 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 (do not forget to account for paired and symmetrical pieces).

From main fabric:

Back – 1 piece on fold
Back Yoke – 2 pieces
Front – 2 pieces
Sleeve – 2 pieces
Cuff – 2 pieces
Center Front Facing – 2 pieces
Back Neckline Facing – 1 piece

From fusible interfacing:

Cuff – 2 pieces
Center Front Facing – 2 pieces
Back Neckline Facing – 1 piece

Sewing Instructions

When stitching pieces, pay attention to the notches - they must match!

Fuse interfacing to the Cuff, Center Front Facing and Back Neckline Facing pieces.
Fold and secure the pleats at the upper edge of the Back, turned towards the center. Place the two Back Yoke pieces right sides together with the Back between them and stitch along the lower edge. Turn the yokes up and press. From here on treat the two yokes as one piece.
Stitch the darts on the Front pieces (if your size has them). Press them upwards.
Stitch the center back seam of the cut-on collar of the Front pieces. Clip the shoulder seam allowance at the corner. Stitch the shoulder seams, setting the collar into the back neckline at the same time. Clip the allowances and press.
Stitch the center back seam of the collar on the Center Front Facing pieces. Press the allowance open. Stitch the shoulder seams of the Back Neckline Facing and the Center Front Facing pieces, setting the collar into the facing neckline at the same time. Serge the outer edge. Place the blouse and the facing right sides together and stitch along the front edges and the collar. Clip the allowances, notch them at the corners, turn the facings to the wrong side and press.
Stitch the side seams. Serge the allowances and press them towards the back.
Cut the slit in the Sleeve along the marked line. Cut a bias strip from the main fabric, 4 cm wide and twice the slit length plus 4 cm long. Fold the strip in half lengthwise and press. Press the raw edges towards the center fold. Bind the sleeve slit with the strip. Fold and secure the pleats on the sleeve, turned away from the opening.
Stitch the Sleeve seam. Serge the allowance and press it towards the back. Set the sleeves into the armholes. Serge the allowance and press.
Fold each Cuff in half lengthwise, right sides together, and stitch the ends. Start and end the stitching exactly at the marked line of the cuff attachment seam. Turn right side out and press. Stitch the outer side of the cuff to the sleeve, turn the allowance of the inner side under and stitch it in place through the attachment seam of the outer side.
Serge the hem edge of the blouse. Press the allowance to the wrong side and topstitch.
Make buttonholes on the right front and the cuffs. Sew the buttons on the left front and the cuffs.
