Fabric Recommendations

Choose knit fabrics with good stretch and drape to achieve the intended silhouette and neckline:

  • Knit fabrics of high and medium stretch, made from natural or blended fibers

Additional Supplies

No additional notions are required.

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 the garment and sleeve hem – 1.5 cm, other seams 0.8 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.

  • From main fabric:
    • Back – 1 piece on fold
    • Front – 2 pieces
    • Sleeve – 2 pieces
    • Front yoke – 2 pieces

Tip: Cut pieces from knit fabrics are stitched with a special elastic or narrow zigzag stitch. The hem allowance is topstitched with a twin needle or on a coverstitch machine to maintain elasticity. You can also stitch pieces directly on a 3- or 4-thread overlocker.

Sewing Instructions

When stitching pieces, pay attention to the notches - they must match!

  1. Stitch the center front seam up to the beginning of the collar. Finish the seam.
  2. Attach the yoke to the front. Finish the seam and press downwards.
  3. Stitch the shoulder seams, finish them, and press towards the back.
  4. Overlap the collar as shown in the illustration and stitch the center seam. Press the seam open. Fold the collar in half lengthwise and attach it to the neckline. Finish the seam and press. Attention! The distance between the two closest marks is not stitched. This section is necessary for the overlap.
  5. Set the sleeve into the armhole. Finish the seam and press. Stitch the side seam and the sleeve seam. Finish the seam and press towards the back.
  6. Finish the bottom edge of the garment and the bottom edge of the sleeve. Fold to the wrong side, press, and topstitch.
