Fabric & Materials
Fabric recommendations: thin suiting fabrics made from natural or blended fibers. Also needed: fusible interlining; 1 concealed zipper.
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: all seams 1 cm. Hem allowance – 3 cm, center back seam allowance - 1.5 cm. ATTENTION! First, 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. Inscriptions on the patterns are on the right side!
