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; top edge of pocket – 2 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 (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 made on the right side.

From main fabric:
- Back – 2 pieces
- Front – 1 piece
- Detachable Piece Front – 1 piece
- Pocket – 1 piece
- Flap – 2 pieces
- Collar – 1 piece
From fusible interfacing:
- Collar – 1 piece
- Flap – 1 piece
