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 – 3 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 (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
    • Cuff – 2 pieces
    • Waistband – 1 piece on fold
  • From main fabric1:
    • Sleeve – 2 pieces
    • Collar - 2 pieces
  • From fusible interfacing:

    • Cuff – 2 pieces
    • Waistband – 1 piece on fold

Sewing Instructions

Tip: Cut pieces from knit fabrics are stitched with a special elastic or narrow zigzag stitch. When serging, trim seam allowances to 0.8 cm. The hem allowance is topstitched with a twin needle or on a coverstitch machine to maintain elasticity. You can also stitch pieces directly on a 3- or 4-thread overlocker.

  1. Fuse interfacing to the designated pieces.
  2. Stitch shoulder seams, press allowances towards the back and serge.
  3. Fold collar pieces right sides together and stitch along the outer edges. Trim seams at corners, clip at notches. Turn collar right side out, shape, and press.
  4. Attach collar to the neckline of the main garment. Serge allowances, press towards the main garment, and topstitch 0.5 cm from the seam.
  5. Attach sleeve to the main garment, press allowances towards the main garment and serge.
  6. Serge side seams and sleeve seams separately. Stitch sleeve seams and side seams in one continuous seam up to the mark of the side slit. Press allowances open, pressing the slits. Topstitch 0.1 cm along the edges of the slits for decorative and reinforcing purposes.
  7. Stitch cuff into a loop. Fold cuff in half lengthwise and press. Attach cuff to the bottom of the sleeve, stretching it slightly. Serge allowance and press upwards.
  8. Serge the bottom edge of the garment, press to the wrong side and topstitch.
  9. Fold waistband in half lengthwise, right sides together, and stitch along the contour, leaving an opening for turning. Turn waistband right side out, shape, press. Close the opening.
