Fabric & Materials

Fabric recommendations: Medium-stretch knit fabric made from natural or blended fibers.

CUTTER'S MUST

IF THE PATTERNS HAVE A DOUBLE CONTOUR, SEAM ALLOWANCES ARE INCLUDED. IF THE CONTOUR IS SINGLE, THE PATTERNS DO NOT INCLUDE SEAM ALLOWANCES. SEAM ALLOWANCES: Hem allowance for garment and sleeve hem – 2 cm; back neckline edge, outer collar edge – 1.2 cm; other seams 0.7 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:
  • Upper back part – 2 pieces
  • Lower back part – 1 piece
  • Lower front part – 1 piece
  • Upper front part – 1 piece
  • Collar – 2 pieces
  • Back sleeve part – 2 pieces
  • Front sleeve part – 2 pieces

Tip: Knit fabric pieces are stitched with a special elastic or narrow zigzag stitch. The hem allowance is topstitched with a twin needle to maintain elasticity. You can also stitch pieces directly on a 3- or 4-thread overlock machine.

Sewing Instructions

1. Stitch the center back seam, press allowances to the left side and serge.
2. Set the back sleeve part into the back armhole, press allowances and serge. Set the front sleeve part into the front armhole, press allowances and serge.
3. Serge the outer edge of the collar, press to the wrong side and topstitch. Along the lower edge of the collar, from the wrap line to the outer edge, stitch with loosely tensioned stitches and gather. Place the collar right side to the wrong side of the upper front part and stitch. Fold the collar to the right side and press along the wrap line. Secure the shoulder edge of the collar to the front shoulder. Clip the upper front part at the dart. Overlap the right side of the wrap over the left and stitch the dart.
4. Stitch the shoulder seams simultaneously with the upper sleeve seam (note that the back shoulder seam is 1.2 cm longer), press allowances towards the back and serge.
5. Along the upper edge of the lower front part, between the marks, stitch with loosely tensioned stitches and gather. Stitch the corresponding lower pieces to the upper back and front parts, press allowances downwards and serge.
