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: all seams 1 cm; hem allowance for the garment bottom and sleeve bottom – 3 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 account for paired and symmetrical parts). When stitching pieces, pay attention to the notches - they must match!

Sewing Instructions
- Fuse interfacing to the designated pieces.
- Stitch the center back seam, press allowances open and overlock up to the waist. Attach the back yoke to the back, press allowances upwards.
- Attach the front yoke to the front, press allowances upwards.
- Mark the buttonhole opening with three lines on the right front facing's right side: the first line is parallel to the front edge and 1.5 cm from the finished front edge; the second and third lines define the length of the opening. Place the interfaced facing onto the right side of the front facing, right side down, moving from the front edge, aligning the edge of the facing and the marked line. Stitch 0.5 cm from the marked line along the buttonhole opening up to the lines defining its length. Place the second buttonhole facing butt-to-butt against the stitching of the first facing and stitch 0.5 cm away. Check the correctness of the facings' attachment from the wrong side (stitches should be parallel). Cut open the buttonhole. Make diagonal cuts 1-1.5 cm from the end of the buttonhole opening. Turn the facings through the opening to the wrong side, forming a frame from the interfaced facing, equal to the width between the stitches. Stitch a securing line into the seam of the facing attachment. Press the second facing towards the inner edge of the front facing and stitch a securing line 0.1 cm from the facing attachment seam. Mark and overlock buttonholes. Buttonholes are made on the front facing together with the interfaced facing. Straighten and secure the ends of the opening from the wrong side with a double backstitch at the base of the corners. Stitch the edges of the facings. Place bar tacks between each pair of buttonholes, the length of the bar tack is equal to the width of the frame. Press the front facing.

- Overlock, press, and hand-stitch the hem allowance of the garment bottom with blind stitches. Attach the lining to the inner edges of the front facings and the back neckline facing. Start and end stitching at half the width of the main garment's bottom hem allowance. Slash the allowance on the inner edge of the front facing at the beginning of the lining attachment. Fold the front facing allowance from the bottom line to the slash inwards and hand-stitch with blind stitches. Overlock the lining attachment seam and press towards the lining.
