Cutter's Must

If the patterns have a double contour, then the patterns include seam allowances. If the contour is single, then the patterns do not include seam allowances. Seam allowances: all seams 1 cm. Hem allowance for the bottom edge of the garment – 2 cm. Attention! First of all, 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 consider paired and symmetrical parts). When stitching pieces, pay attention to the notches - they must match!

Sewing Instructions

Fuse interfacing to the Plackets, one Collar piece, one Stand Collar piece and the Cuffs.
Along the upper edge of the Front between the marks, run a gathering stitch (loosened upper thread) and gather. Stitch the Yoke to the Front. Overlock the allowance and press it towards the yoke.
Stitch the outer side of the Placket to the Front and press the allowance towards the placket. Fold the placket, turn under the allowance of the inner side and stitch it in the ditch of the placket seam.
Stitch the side and shoulder seams, continuing along the sleeve edges. Press the allowances towards the back and overlock.
Fold the collar pieces right sides together, stitch the ends and the outer edge. Trim the allowances at the corners. Turn the collar right side out, straighten and press. Topstitch 0.1 cm from the edge. Place the Stand Collar pieces right sides together with the finished collar between them and stitch, stitching the ends of the stand at the same time. Start and end the stitching exactly at the marked neckline seam line. Turn right side out and press. Stitch the outer stand to the neckline, fold under the open edge of the inner stand and stitch it in the ditch of the neckline seam.
Fold the cuff in half lengthwise right side in and stitch the short sides. Trim the allowances at the corners, turn right side out and press. Stitch the cuff to the sleeve edge so that the cuff ends meet edge to edge at the shoulder seam line. Overlock the allowances and press them towards the sleeve.
Overlock the bottom edge of the garment. Press the allowance to the wrong side and topstitch.
Make buttonholes and sew on the buttons on the placket and the stand collar.
