Cutter's Must

If the patterns have a double contour, the patterns 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 (don't 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
Upper sleeve – 2 pieces
Lower sleeve – 4 pieces
Back neckline facing — 2 pieces
