Fabric & Materials

Fabric recommendations: soft blouse fabrics made from natural or blended fibers.

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. Hem allowance – 2 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
  • Front – 2 pieces
  • Collar – 2 pieces

Sewing Instructions

1. Fold and stitch 2-3 cm pleats on the shoulder edges of the front (depths directed towards the neckline).
2. Stitch the center seam of the collar, folding the collar pieces right sides together, press seam allowances open. Press the collar lengthwise in half, right side out.
3. Stitch the shoulder edges, press seam allowances towards the back and serge.
4. Set the collar into the neckline of the back and front, press seam allowances towards the main piece, serge and topstitch. At the side edge, fold the collar in half outwards and secure it to the side edge. Overlap the right front over the left and secure along the bottom and side edges.
5. Cut (if not ready-made) a bias binding 4 cm wide and a length equal to the armhole length + 4cm. Fold the bias binding lengthwise in half, right side out, and press. Place the binding with the armhole edge right sides together and stitch. Clip seam allowances. Fold the binding to the wrong side and topstitch along the fold onto the main piece. Press the seam.
