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. Seam allowance at the bottom edges of the back, front, and sleeve – 0 cm. Seam allowances at the outer edge of the hood – 0 cm. Seam allowance at the center edge of the right front – 0 cm. Attention! First and foremost, 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 (don't forget to account for paired and symmetrical pieces). When stitching pieces, pay attention to the notches – they must match! Attention! Markings on the patterns are made on the right side!

From main fabric:
- Back – 1 piece on fold
- Right Front – 1 piece
- Left Front – 1 piece
- Back Sleeve – 2 pieces
- Front Sleeve – 2 pieces
- Placket – 1 piece
- Right Hood – 1 piece
- Left Hood – 1 piece
- Center Hood – 1 piece
- Pocket Bag – 4 pieces

Sewing Instructions

Stitch the bust darts, press the dart depths upwards.
Mark the pocket placement. Cut two strips of bias tape, each as long as the pocket opening + 3 cm, for the pocket facings. Mark guide lines 0.5 cm from the pocket opening, parallel to it. Stitch the facings to the front with the bias tape unfolded, ending the stitching at the parallel guide lines. Check from the wrong side that the stitching lines are parallel. Cut the pocket opening, making diagonal cuts towards the corners 1–1.5 cm from each end. Turn the facings through the opening to the wrong side and ease out the edges. Stitch the Pocket Bags to the seam allowances of the facings. Secure the pocket ends from the wrong side with a double backstitch across the base of the corners. Stitch the pocket bags together around the edges and overlock the allowances.
Stitch the Back Sleeves to the Back, press the seam allowances towards the back and overlock. Topstitch 0.7 cm from the seam. Stitch the Front Sleeves to the Right Front and Left Front, press the seam allowances towards the front and overlock. Topstitch 0.7 cm from the seam.
Stitch the seams along the top of the sleeves, press the seam allowances towards the back and overlock. Stitch the side seams and the underarm seams of the sleeves in one line, press the seam allowances towards the back and overlock.
Stitch the Right Hood and the Left Hood to the Center Hood, press the seam allowances towards the Center Hood and overlock. Topstitch 0.7 cm from the seam.
Stitch the hood to the neckline, press the seam allowances towards the hood and topstitch 0.7 cm from the seam.
Press the Placket in half lengthwise, wrong sides together. Stitch the Placket to the Left Front, inserting the left half of the separating zipper between the marks. Press the seam allowances towards the front and topstitch 0.7 cm from the seam.
Bind the front edge, the hood edge and the hem all around with bias tape.
Place the right half of the separating zipper under the bound edge of the Right Front and stitch it in the ditch of the binding seam.
Bind the sleeve hems with bias tape.
