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: all seams 1 cm; hem allowance for the coat bottom – 2.5 cm. Attention! First, print out the paper patterns and lay them out on the fabric width (fabric width can be from 90cm to 150cm) 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!

From main fabric:

Back - 2 pieces
Front - 2 pieces
Front facing - 2 pieces
Back neckline facing – 1 piece

Sleeve facing – 2 pieces

From lining fabric:

Back - 2 pieces
