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 cm. Hem allowance – 2.5 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 (do not forget to account for paired and symmetrical pieces). When stitching pieces, pay attention to the notches - they must match!

- Center Back – 2 pieces
- Side Back – 2 pieces
- Center Front – 2 pieces

Sewing Instructions

Fuse interfacing to the Center Front pieces, Center Front Facings and Back Neckline Facing.
Stitch the center back seam, press allowances open. Stitch the back princess seams (Center Back to Side Back). Press allowances towards the center.
Cut bias strips 2.5 cm wide and 50 cm long for the ties. Fold the strip in half lengthwise, right sides together, and stitch 0.3 cm from the fold. Trim the allowances close to the stitching, turn the strip right side out and straighten the rouleau. Cut it into two ties.
Stitch the front princess seams (Center Front to Side Front), inserting one tie into the right princess seam. Press allowances towards the center.
Stitch the shoulder and side seams. Press allowances open.

Place the facings on the garment right sides together, pin, and stitch the front edges and neckline. Insert the second tie into the seam of the left front edge. Clip the allowances, turn the facings to the wrong side, and press.
Press the hem allowance of the top to the wrong side.
Stitch the lining seams, leaving an opening in the left side seam. Stitch the lining to the Center Front Facings and Back Neckline Facing.
