Intermediate. This pattern involves working with asymmetrical necklines, diagonal seams, gathering or pleating, and knit fabrics, requiring confident sewing skills.
Select medium-stretch knit fabrics from natural or blended fibers to achieve the intended drape and comfort:
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 garment bottom 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! Attention! Markings on the patterns are made on the right side!
Tip: Knit fabric pieces are stitched with a special elastic or narrow zigzag stitch. When serging, trim allowances to 0.6 – 0.8 cm. The hem allowance is topstitched with a twin needle to maintain elasticity. Tip: as main fabric_1 you can use not knit fabric, but suiting fabric. In this case, for ease of use, you should process a zipper in the left side seam.
