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 - 1.0 cm; hem allowance for the garment bottom and sleeve – 2 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!

  • From main fabric:
    • Back – 2 pieces
    • Front – 1 piece on fold
    • Sleeve – 2 pieces
    • Neckline facing – 1 piece on fold

Tip: Knit fabric pieces are stitched with a special elastic or narrow zigzag stitch. When serging, trim 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 overlock machine.

Sewing Instructions

  1. Along the front neckline, between the marks, sew a gathering stitch with loosened upper thread and gather to match the pattern piece.
  2. Stitch the side and shoulder seams, press allowances towards the back and serge.
  3. Stitch the neckline facing into a loop. Press allowances open. Fold the facing in half lengthwise, right side out, and stitch into the neckline, stretching slightly. Serge the allowance and press towards the main garment.
  4. Stitch the sleeve seam, press allowances towards the back and serge. Along the sleeve cap, sew a gathering stitch with loosened upper thread and gather. Stitch sleeves into armholes, matching notches, press allowances and serge.
  5. Serge the hem allowance of the bottom and sleeve, fold to the wrong side and topstitch.
