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 Neck Facing – 1 piece

From fusible interfacing:

Back Neckline Facing – 2 pieces
Front Neck 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.
