Fabric & Materials
Fabric recommendations: light fabrics made of natural or blended fibers, chiffon. Also needed: elastic tape 0.7 - 1 cm wide (approximate length is indicated on the pattern piece for the lower front part).
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 – 1.5 cm, other seams - 1 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!
- From main fabric:
- Front – 1 piece on fold
- Back – 1 piece on fold
