Cutter's Must

If the patterns have a double contour, they include seam allowances. If the contour is single, the patterns do not include seam allowances. Seam allowances: Hem allowance – 2 cm; other seams – 1 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 (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
- Back yoke – 1 piece
- Front – 2 pieces
- Sleeve – 2 pieces
- Collar — 2 pieces
- Collar stand – 2 pieces
- Sleeve lining – 2 pieces
From fusible interfacing:
- Collar — 1 piece
- Collar stand – 1 piece
