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: Sleeve hem allowance – 1.5 cm, neckline allowance - 1.5 cm, garment hem allowance – 2 cm, other seams 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. When stitching pieces, pay attention to the notches - they must match! Note! Markings on the patterns are on the right side.

  • From main fabric 1:
    • Left front – 1 piece
    • Upper left back – 1 piece
    • Upper right back – 1 piece
  • From main fabric 2:
    • Right front - 1 piece
    • Lower left back – 1 piece
    • Lower right back – 1 piece

Sewing Instructions

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 overlock machine.

  1. Stitch the upper and lower front parts. Overlock allowances and press down.
  2. Stitch the center back seam on the upper parts. Overlock allowance and press to the left side. Stitch the center back seam on the lower parts. Overlock allowance and press to the left side.
  3. Stitch the upper and lower back parts. Overlock allowances and press down.
  4. Stitch shoulder seams simultaneously with the upper sleeve seam. Overlock allowance. Stitch side seams, simultaneously stitching the lower sleeve seam. Overlock allowance.
  5. Overlock the neckline edge. Fold to the wrong side, press, and topstitch.
  6. Overlock the garment hem and sleeve hem. Fold to the wrong side, press, and topstitch.
