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 the garment bottom 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:
    • Front – 1 piece
    • Back – 1 piece
    • Collar – 1 piece
    • Sleeve – 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 shoulder and side seams. Overlock allowances and press towards the back.
  2. Stitch the sleeve seam. Overlock allowance and press towards the back. Set the sleeve into the armhole, matching notches. Overlock allowance.
  3. Along the lower edge of the front neckline between the round marks, make stitches with loosely tensioned threads and gather.
  4. Fold the collar in half lengthwise, right side out, and secure all raw edges. Overlap the short sides of the collar (right side on top) and secure the raw edges. Stitch the collar into the neckline, clipping into the corners. Overlock allowances.
  5. Overlock the bottom edge of the garment and the sleeve hem. Fold to the wrong side, press, and topstitch.
