Fabric & Materials
Fabric recommendations: well-draping suiting fabrics made from natural or blended fibers. Also needed: fusible interlining; 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 1.5 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! All inscriptions on the patterns are made on the right side!
