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: hem allowance for sleeve, blouse hem, and neckline – 1.5 cm. all other seams – 0.7 cm. Attention! First of all, 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 (don't forget to account for paired and symmetrical pieces). When stitching pieces, pay attention to the notches - they must match! 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.

  • From main fabric:
    • Front – 1 piece
    • Back – 1 piece on fold

Sewing Instructions

  1. Along the slit, sew a stitch with loosely tensioned upper thread and gather. Stitch the slit. Overlock the allowance.
  2. Stitch shoulder and side seams. Overlock allowances and press towards the back.
  3. Overlock the neckline allowance, fold inwards, and topstitch.
  4. Overlock bottom edges and sleeve edges, fold inwards, and topstitch.
  5. Cut a tab 6 x 6 cm. Fold two opposite allowances inwards and topstitch 0.5 cm from the edge. Place the tab on the right side of the front and topstitch at the mark. Fold the tab to the wrong side, fold the allowance, and hand-stitch into the attachment seam.
