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: allowance at the upper edge of the back, at the armhole and neckline of the front – 1.5 cm; at the bottom of the garment – 2 cm; at the upper edge of the front and back pant halves, at the lower edge of the back and front – 2 cm. Other seams 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!
- Back – 2 pieces
- Front – 1 piece
- Front pant half — 2 pieces
