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 - 3.0 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 details). When stitching pieces, pay attention to the notches - they must match! Attention: Lining pieces are cut according to the main fabric patterns, subtracting the neckline facing and front facing. Attention: Markings on the patterns are made on the right side.

Stitch and press the elbow seam of the sleeve towards the upper. Make buttonholes on the sleeve. Cut a strip of lining fabric 6 cm wide, with a length equal to the sleeve width. Fold 1 cm inwards and press along the long sides. Place on the wrong side of the sleeve and stitch along the marking lines, forming a casing. Start and end the stitching strictly at the sleeve allowance. Stitch and press open the front sleeve seam, without catching the lining fabric for the casing. Along the upper edge of the sleeve cap, stitch with a small stitch length. Gather the fullness and ease the cap. Set the sleeves into the armhole, matching the notches.

Pin the front facing and the upper of the garment and stitch along the front edge and neckline. Stitch the lower edge of the front facing to the front strictly along the marked hemline, stopping 1.5 cm before the inner edge of the front facing. Turn the front edges right side out, straighten the seams.
On the lining fabric pieces, stitch the seams, leaving an opening in the left side seam for turning. Set in the sleeves. Attach the lining to the front facings and neckline facing. Attach the lining to the bottom of the garment. Turn the coat right side out through the opening. Sew up the opening.
