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: 2 cm for the bottom edge of the garment and sleeve hem, 1 cm for all other seams. 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:

Back – 2 pieces
Center Front – 1 piece on fold
Side Front – 2 pieces
Stand Collar – 1 piece
Sleeve – 2 pieces
Pocket Bag – 4 pieces

From fusible interfacing:

Stand Collar – 1 piece

Sewing Instructions

When stitching pieces, pay attention to the notches - they must match! Tip: Knit fabric pieces are stitched with a special elastic or narrow zigzag stitch. When serging, trim seam allowances to 0.8 cm. The hem allowance is topstitched with a twin needle to maintain elasticity. You can also stitch pieces directly on a 3- or 4-thread overlock machine.

Fuse the Stand Collar with knit interfacing.
Stitch the centre back seam of the Back, press the seam allowances to the left and serge.
Stitch the darts on the Center Front, press the dart allowances downwards.
Stitch the Pocket Bags to the Center Front and Side Fronts, serge the seam allowances. Stitch the Side Fronts to the Center Front, stitching around the Pocket Bags in the same seam. On the Side Front, clip the seam allowance at the ends of the pocket opening. Press the seam allowances towards the centre front, serge.
Stitch the shoulder seams, press the seam allowances towards the back and serge.
Press the Stand Collar in half lengthwise, right side out. Overlap the right end of the Stand Collar over the left and stitch the collar into the neckline; press and serge the seam allowances.
Stitch the Sleeve to the armhole, press the seam allowances towards the sleeve and serge. Topstitch along the seam to hold the allowances.
Stitch the side seam and the sleeve seam in one continuous seam, press and serge the seam allowances.
Serge the hem allowances of the dress and the sleeves, press them to the wrong side and topstitch.
