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: hem allowance, sleeve hem allowance – 2 cm, other seams 0.8 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 – 1 piece on fold
- Left Front – 1 piece
- Sleeve – 2 pieces
From contrasting fabric 1:
- Right Front – 1 piece
From contrasting fabric 2:
- Front Inset – 1 piece

Sewing Instructions

Tip: Knit fabric pieces are stitched with a special elastic or narrow zigzag stitch. The hem allowance is topstitched with a twin needle or on a coverstitch machine to maintain elasticity. You can also stitch pieces directly on a 3- or 4-thread overlocker.

Stitch the Front Inset to the Left Front. Overlock the allowance and press it down.
Stitch the right shoulder seam. Overlock the allowance and press it towards the back. Overlock the neckline allowance of the Right Front and the Back. Fold the allowance inwards and topstitch.
Stitch the Left Front to the Right Front. Overlock the allowance, simultaneously overlocking the left side of the neckline. Stitch the left shoulder seam, overlock the allowance. Fold the allowance of the left neckline inwards and topstitch.
Set the sleeves into the open armholes, press and overlock the allowances. Stitch the sleeve seams simultaneously with the side seams, press and overlock the allowances.
Overlock the bottom edge of the garment and the bottom edge of the sleeve, fold to the wrong side, press and topstitch.
