Cutter's Must

If the patterns have a double contour, seam allowances are included. If the contour is single, the patterns are without seam allowances. Seam allowances: all seams 1 cm. Hem allowance – 2.5 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!

From main fabric 1:
- Back – 1 piece on fold
- Front – 2 pieces
- Sleeve – 2 pieces
- Casing – 1 piece
From main fabric 2 (contrast):
- Back Yoke – 1 piece
- Front Yoke – 2 pieces
- Sleeve Inset – 2 pieces
- Center Front Facing – 2 pieces
- Back Neckline Facing – 1 piece
From lining fabric:
- Back – 1 piece on fold
- Front – 2 pieces
- Sleeve – 2 pieces

Attention! The lining pieces are cut from the Back, Front and Sleeve patterns joined with the yokes and sleeve inset, minus the width of the Center Front Facing and Back Neckline Facing.
