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: hem allowance – 2 cm; sleeve hem – 1.2 cm; other allowances - 1.0 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 on fold
    • Front – 1 piece on fold
    • Sleeve — 2 pieces

Tip: Knit fabric pieces are stitched with a special elastic or narrow zigzag stitch. When serging, trim 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.

Sewing Instructions

  1. Stitch darts on the front piece, press depths upwards.
  2. Stitch the right shoulder seam, press allowances towards the back and serge.
  3. Cut (if not ready-made) a bias binding 4 cm wide and a length equal to the neckline length + 5 cm. Fold the bias binding in half lengthwise, right side out, and press. Place the binding with the neckline edge, right sides together, and stitch. Clip allowances. Fold the binding to the wrong side and topstitch along the fold to the main piece. Press the seam.
  4. Stitch the right shoulder seam, press allowances towards the back and serge.
  5. Stitch the side seams, press allowances towards the back and serge.
  6. Finish the bottom and side edges of the sleeve with an "American" seam or serge with a narrow rolled hem (in this case, the sleeve hem allowance should be trimmed).
  7. Fold and secure the sleeve at the cap (back part of the sleeve under the front). Set sleeves into armholes, matching notches, press allowances and serge.
  8. Serge the bottom edge of the garment. Press allowance to the wrong side and topstitch.
