Cutter's Must

If the patterns have a double contour, seam allowances are included. If the contour is single, seam allowances are not included. 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). When stitching pieces, pay attention to the notches - they must match! Attention! Markings on the patterns are on the right side!

From main fabric:
- Back – 1 piece
- Front – 1 piece
- Right Sleeve – 1 piece
- Collar – 2 pieces
- Stand Collar – 2 pieces
- Cuff – 2 pieces
From fusible interfacing:
- Stand Collar – 1 piece
- Collar – 1 piece

Sewing Instructions

Interface the pieces with fusible interfacing. Also interface the cut-in-one plackets of the left sleeve.
Press the cut-in-one placket of the left sleeve to the wrong side, fold the allowance inwards and topstitch 0.1 cm from the fold. Lay the front part of the left sleeve over the back part, aligning the buttonhole lines, and secure along the bottom edge.
Stitch the right shoulder seam, press allowances towards the back and overlock. Attach the Right Sleeve to the main garment, press allowances upwards and overlock.
Place the Collar pieces right sides together, stitch the ends and the outer edge. Trim allowances at corners, turn the collar right side out, straighten and press. Place the Stand Collar pieces right sides together, insert the finished collar between them and stitch, simultaneously stitching the ends of the collar stand. Start and end the stitching strictly at the marked line of the collar stand attachment seam. Turn the finished collar right side out and press. Attach the outer collar stand to the neckline, fold under the open edge of the inner collar stand and topstitch into the attachment seam.
Overlock the side edges and underarm sleeve edges separately on each piece. Stitch the side seams together with the underarm sleeve seams, from the slit mark to the hem. Press allowances open. Topstitch the slit 0.1 cm from the edge.
Fold the cuff in half lengthwise right sides together and stitch the side edges. Turn the piece right side out, press. Attach the outer side of the cuff to the sleeve, fold the allowance of the inner side of the cuff inwards and topstitch into the attachment seam of the outer cuff.
Overlock the bottom edge of the garment, press to the wrong side and topstitch.
Make buttonholes and sew on buttons on the plackets and collar stand. Make buttonholes and sew on buttons on the cuffs.
