Fabric Recommendations

Additional Supplies
- Lining fabric
- A full-length zipper
- Synthetic batting (e.g., sintepon/wadding)
Cutter's Must
If the patterns have a double contour, the patterns include seam allowances. If the contour is single, the patterns do not include seam allowances. Seam allowances: Hem allowance for jacket bottom and sleeve bottom — 3 cm, all 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 (do not forget to account for paired and symmetrical details). When stitching pieces, pay attention to the notches - they must match!
