Fabric & Materials

Fabric recommendations: French terry or fleece with medium stretch from natural or blended fibers. Also needed: ZIPPER; bias binding in the color of the main fabric.

CUTTER'S MUST

If the patterns have a double contour, they include SEAM ALLOWANCES. If the contour is single, the patterns do not include SEAM ALLOWANCES. SEAM ALLOWANCES: Pocket opening allowance - 0 cm. All other allowances 1 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!
