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 2 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. When stitching pieces, pay attention to the notches - they must match! All inscriptions are made on the right side!

From main fabric:
- Back – 1 piece
- Front yoke – 1 piece
- Front – 1 piece
- Waistband – 1 piece
From fusible interfacing:
- Waistband – 1 piece
