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. Attention! First of all, 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).

Back – 1 piece on fold
Right Front – 1 piece
Left Front – 1 piece
Left Front Center Facing – 1 piece
Sleeve – 2 pieces
Cuff – 2 pieces
Back Neckline Facing – 1 piece
Waistband – 2 pieces

From fusible interfacing:

Left Front Center Facing – 1 piece
Back Neckline Facing – 1 piece
Cuff – 2 pieces

Sewing Instructions

When stitching pieces, pay attention to the notches - they must match!

Reinforce the Left Front Center Facing, Back Neckline Facing, Cuffs, and the cut-on facing of the Right Front with fusible interfacing.
Stitch the bust and waist darts on the fronts and back. Press the bust darts upwards, and the waist darts towards the center of the piece.
Right Front. Overlock the edge of the cut-on facing. Fold the facing to the right side and stitch the bottom corner. Turn the facing to the wrong side and press.
Left Front. Overlock the inner edge of the Left Front Center Facing. Place the facing on the right side of the front and stitch along the front edge. Turn the facing to the wrong side, press.
Stitch the side seams, press allowances towards the back and overlock.
Overlock the outer edge of the Back Neckline Facing. Place the facing on the Back and stitch the neckline edge. The stitching should start and end strictly at the marked shoulder seam line. Clip allowances at curves.
Stitch the shoulder seams, placing the front shoulder edge between the back shoulder edge and the facing. Press allowances and overlock. Turn the neckline facing to the wrong side, straighten, press.
Stitch the sleeve seam, press allowances towards the back and overlock. Set sleeves into armholes, matching notches. Press allowances and overlock.
Stitch the Cuff into a loop, press allowances open. Fold the cuff in half lengthwise, right side out. Attach the cuff to the bottom of the sleeve, placing it against the wrong side of the garment. Overlock allowances, fold the cuff to the right side, press.
Stitch the Waistband pieces together, press allowances open. Align the waistband with the bottom edge of the blouse and stitch (the waistband seam is located at the center back). Stitch the ends of the waistband, trim allowances at corners, turn to the right side, straighten, press. Fold the raw inner edge inwards and topstitch it over the attachment seam of the outer waistband.
Make buttonholes on the Right Front. Sew buttons on the Left Front.
