Fabric Recommendations

Achieve the best drape and comfort for this top by selecting knit fabrics with the right stretch and recovery:

  • Knit fabrics with medium to low stretch
  • Natural or blended fibers such as jersey, interlock, or Ponte di Roma

Additional Supplies

  • Knit bias tape
  • 5 buttons

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 1.0 cm. Hem allowance - 2.0 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 (do not forget to account for paired and symmetrical pieces). When stitching pieces, pay attention to the notches - they must match!

  • From main fabric:
    • Back – 1 piece on fold
    • Front – 1 piece on fold
    • Front yoke – 2 pieces
    • Sleeve – 2 pieces
    • Cuff – 2 pieces
    • Collar stand – 1 piece

Tip: Cut pieces from knit fabrics 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 serger.
