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, allowance for the bottom edge of the front and back, and for the bias edge of the front – 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 account for paired and symmetrical pieces).
- From main fabric:
- Back - 1 piece with fold
- Front – 2 pieces
- Back neckline facing – 1 piece
- Front neckline facing – 2 pieces
- From fusible interfacing:
- Back neckline facing – 1 piece
- Front neckline facing – 2 pieces
