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. Attention! First, 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. When stitching pieces, pay attention to the notches - they must match!

- Front Side – 1 piece on fold
- Back – 1 piece on fold
- Insert – 2 pieces
- Front Sleeve – 2 pieces
- Back Sleeve – 2 pieces
- Pocket – 1 piece

Sewing Instructions

Tip: Knit fabric pieces are stitched with a special elastic or narrow zigzag stitch. 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.

Place the Pocket on the Front, right side down, and stitch along the pocket openings from the lower edge up to the marked pocket line. Turn the Pocket to the wrong side. Stitch securing lines along the pocket opening from the top to the lower arrow mark. On the Front Side, clip the allowance at the corner. Place the Front on the Front Side, aligning the raw edges. Stitch and overlock the upper edge of the Pocket. Stitch the front panel seams. Overlock the allowances and press them towards the center. Topstitch along the panel seam from the top to the upper arrow mark. Topstitch the pocket section to the Front Side from the lower arrow mark to the lower edge. Make transverse bar tacks at the arrow marks.
Stitch the Front Sleeve to the front. Overlock the allowance, press it towards the front, and topstitch 0.5 cm from the seam. Stitch the Back Sleeve to the back. Overlock the allowance, press it towards the back, and topstitch 0.5 cm from the seam. Stitch the Insert to the front and back. Overlock the allowances and press them towards the Insert. Topstitch.
Stitch the Collar into a ring. Fold it in half lengthwise and attach it to the neckline, slightly stretching the collar. The seam is located at the left shoulder seam. Overlock the allowance and press it towards the main piece. Stitch the side seams simultaneously with the sleeve seam. Overlock the allowances and press them towards the back.
Stitch each Cuff into a ring. Press the allowances open. Fold the cuff in half lengthwise, wrong sides together. Attach it to the bottom of the sleeve, slightly stretching the cuff.
Stitch the Lower Placket into a ring. Fold it in half lengthwise and stitch it to the lower edge of the garment, slightly stretching the band. The seam is located at the left side seam. Overlock the allowance.
