Fabric & Materials
Fabric recommendations: dense knit fabric with low to medium stretch, made from natural or blended fibers. YOU WILL ALSO NEED: contrasting knit bias binding (approximate length indicated on the front pattern piece); 4 buttons.
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, 0 cm for the neckline, 0 cm for the right front edge (up to the slit), 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.
- From main fabric:
- Back – 2 pieces
- Right front part – 1 piece
- Left front part – 1 piece
- Sleeve – 2 pieces
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.
