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 for the bottom of the garment and sleeve hem - 1.5 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 (do not forget to consider paired and symmetrical parts).

From main fabric 1:
- Back - 1 piece on fold
- Front - 1 piece on fold
From main fabric 2:
- Back yoke – 1 piece
- Front yoke - 1 piece
- Sleeve - 2 pieces

Sewing Instructions

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

Serge the center edges of the back yokes separately. Stitch the center seam of the yokes from the mark to the bottom edge, press seams open. Stitch along the slit at 0.1 cm.
Attach the back yoke to the back. Press the seam allowance upwards and serge.
Cut a bias strip 2.5 cm wide and 5 cm long for the loop. Fold the strip in half lengthwise, right sides together, and stitch 0.3 cm from the fold. Trim seam allowances close to the stitching, turn the strip right side out and straighten the rouleau. Adjust the loop length.
Stitch the bust darts, press the fullness towards the center. Serge the center edges of the front yoke, press seam allowances to the wrong side and topstitch. Attach the front yoke to the front, press seam allowances downwards and serge.
Stitch the shoulder seams, press seam allowances towards the back and serge.
Cut (if not ready-made) a bias binding 4 cm wide and a length equal to the neckline length + 4 cm. Fold the bias binding in half lengthwise, right side out, and press. Finish the neckline edge, inserting the loop.
Serge the bottom edge of the back and front, press to the wrong side and topstitch.
Stitch the side seams, press seam allowances towards the back and serge.
Stitch the sleeve seam, press seam allowances towards the back and serge. Set the sleeves into the armholes, matching notches. Press seam allowances and serge. Serge the bottom edge of the sleeve, press seam allowance to the wrong side and topstitch.
Sew on the button.
