Fabric & Materials

FABRIC RECOMMENDATIONS: blouse fabrics made of natural or blended fibers. For example, eyelet fabric. YOU WILL ALSO NEED: fusible interfacing.

CUTTER'S MUST

IF THE PATTERNS HAVE A DOUBLE CONTOUR, THEY INCLUDE SEAM ALLOWANCES. IF THE CONTOUR IS SINGLE, THE PATTERNS DO NOT INCLUDE SEAM ALLOWANCES. SEAM ALLOWANCES: all seams 1 cm. Seam allowance along the center front edge – 0 cm. Seam allowance along the bottom edge of the garment – 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 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!

3. Stitch darts on the front pieces, press dart depths upwards.
4. Cut a bias strip from the main fabric at a 45° angle, 4 cm wide and with a length equal to the placket length + 4 cm. Press the bias strip in half lengthwise, right side out. Unfold the bias strip, press the raw edges towards the center. Press in half again. Bind the placket edges of the front pieces with the bias strip. Overlap the right front piece over the left, aligning the center lines, and topstitch into the seam of the bias binding attachment.
5. Stitch side and shoulder seams, press seam allowances towards the back and overcast.
6. Fold the collar stand pieces right sides together and stitch along the outer contour. Start and end the stitching strictly at the marked seam line for attachment. Clip seam allowances at curves, turn the collar stand right side out and press.
7. Attach the outer part of the collar stand to the neckline, press seam allowances towards the collar stand. Turn under the open edge of the inner collar stand and topstitch into the attachment seam.
8. Stitch the sleeve seam, press seam allowances towards the back and overcast. Along the bottom edge of the garment, stitch with a loosened upper thread and gather. Set sleeves into armholes, press seam allowances and overcast.
9. Stitch the cuff into a loop, press seam allowances open. Press the cuff in half lengthwise, right side out. Attach the outer part of the cuff to the sleeve, press seam allowances towards the cuff. Turn under the open edge of the inner cuff and topstitch into the attachment seam.
10. Overcast the seam allowance of the bottom edge of the garment, press to the wrong side and topstitch.
