Cutter's Must

If the patterns have a double contour, seam allowances are included. If the contour is single, seam allowances are not included. Seam allowances: hem allowance – 2 cm, sleeve hem allowance – 1.2 cm; other seams - 0.7 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! Attention! Markings on the patterns are made on the right side.

From knit fabric:
- Back – 2 pieces
- Upper Left Front – 1 piece
- Upper Right Front – 1 piece
- Lower Front – 1 piece
- Left Collar – 2 pieces
- Right Collar – 2 pieces
- Sleeve – 2 pieces
From fusible interfacing:
- Left Collar – 1 piece
- Right Collar – 1 piece

Sewing Instructions

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

Fuse interfacing to the Left Collar and Right Collar pieces.
Stitch the center back seam, press seam allowances to the left side and serge.
Stitch the bust dart on the Upper Left Front, trim the dart depth with an overlock. Fold and stitch the pleats on the Upper Right Front according to the markings (depths are directed towards the side seam).
Stitch shoulder seams, press seam allowances towards the back and serge.
Join the Left Collar and Right Collar pieces in pairs. Place the two collar layers right sides together and stitch along the outer edge. Turn the collar right side out, press.
Place the collar against the wrong side of the top and stitch the left part of the collar along the neckline edge up to the center back; serge the seam allowances. Fold the left end to the right side and secure it to the center front edge. Insert the Upper Left Front between the Upper Right Front and the collar and stitch the remaining part of the collar seam from the center back down to the waist. Serge seam allowances.
Stitch the upper fronts to the Lower Front, press seam allowances downwards and serge.
Serge the sleeve hem, press to the wrong side and topstitch. Set the sleeve into the open armhole, press seam allowances and serge.
Stitch sleeve seams simultaneously with side seams, press seam allowances towards the back and serge.
Serge the garment hem, press to the wrong side and topstitch.
Sew the decorative buttons onto the Upper Right Front.
