Cutter's Must

If the patterns have a double contour, seam allowances are included. If the contour is single, seam allowances are not included. Seam allowances: upper edges of front and back lower parts – 2 cm; lower edges of front and back upper parts – 2 cm; center front edge – 0 cm; outer edge of hood – 3 cm; bottom edges and sleeve edges – 2 cm; all other edges – 0.7 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 (don't forget to account for paired and symmetrical pieces). When stitching pieces, pay attention to the notches - they must match! Tip: Knit fabric pieces 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. Attention! Markings on the patterns are on the right side.

From main fabric:
- Upper Front – 2 pieces
- Upper Back – 2 pieces
- Lower Front – 1 piece (cut on fold)
- Lower Back – 2 pieces
- Sleeve – 2 pieces
- Hood – 2 pieces
