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 – 2 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!

From main fabric:
- Back – 2 pieces
- Front – 1 piece on fold
From lace fabric:
- Back sleeve – 2 pieces
- Front sleeve – 1 piece on fold
- Back neckline facing – 2 pieces
- Front neckline facing – 1 piece
From fusible interfacing:
- Back neckline facing – 2 pieces
- Front neckline facing – 1 piece

Tip: Cut pieces from knit fabrics are stitched with a special elastic or narrow zigzag stitch. When serging, trim seam allowances to 0.6 – 0.8 cm. The hem allowance is stitched with a twin needle to maintain elasticity.
