Fabric & Materials
Fabric recommendations: blouse or dress 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; neckline seam allowance for back and front – 0 cm; hem allowance – 2.0 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 - 1 piece on fold
- Back part of sleeve - 2 pieces
- Front part of sleeve - 2 pieces
Sewing Instructions
- Stitch darts on the front piece, press the fullness upwards.
- Stitch the right shoulder seam, press allowances towards the back and serge.
- Cut a bias binding equal to the neckline length + 4 cm. Fold the bias binding in half lengthwise, right side out, and press. Unfold the piece, press the edges towards the fold, and press in half again. Finish the neckline edge. In the corner of the front neckline, stitch the binding vertically.
- Stitch the left shoulder seam, press allowances towards the back and serge.
- Stitch the side seams, press allowances towards the back and serge.
- Serge the lower edges of the sleeves, press to the wrong side and topstitch. (Alternatively, you can serge the sleeve hem with a narrow rolled hem. In this case, the hem allowance should be trimmed.) Lay the back part of the sleeve onto the front part, aligning the marks, and secure along the cap. Stitch the sleeve seam, press allowances towards the back and serge.
- Set the sleeves into the armholes, press allowances and serge.
- Turn up the bottom edge of the garment twice by 1 cm to the wrong side and topstitch.
