  • Natural or blended fiber knits

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: hem and sleeve hem – 1.5 cm, neckline – 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. When stitching pieces, pay attention to the notches - they must match!

  • From main fabric:
    • Back – 1 piece
    • Front – 2 pieces
    • Sleeve – 2 pieces

Sewing Instructions

Tip: Knit pieces are stitched with a special stretch stitch or a narrow zigzag. Hems are topstitched with a twin needle to keep them elastic. You can also sew the pieces directly on a 3- or 4-thread overlocker.

  1. Stitch the shoulder seams. Serge the allowances and press them towards the Back.
  2. Serge the neckline allowance, turn it to the inside and topstitch.
  3. Lay the Fronts one over the other, right sides up, with the right Front on top. Align the side edges and baste them together 0.5 cm from the edge.
  4. Set the Sleeves into the open armholes, serge the allowance.
  5. Stitch the side seam and the sleeve seam in one continuous seam. Serge the allowances.
  6. Serge the lower edge of the garment and of the sleeves. Turn the allowance to the wrong side, press and topstitch.
