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 for the bottom of the garment and sleeve hem – 1.5 cm; other seams – 1 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).

Sewing Instructions

When stitching pieces, pay attention to the notches - they must match! Try to observe the grain line direction.

Fuse interfacing to one Neckline Facing and two Placket pieces.
Place the two Neckline Facing pieces right sides together and stitch along the outer contour. Start and end the stitching strictly at the marked seam line for attachment. Clip curves in the seam allowances. Turn the finished facing right side out and press.
Join the Side Back pieces to the Center Back, overlock the allowances and press towards the center. Attach the Back Yoke to the back. Overlock the allowance and press upwards.
Run a line of long, loose stitches along the upper edge of each Front and gather. Attach the Front Yoke to the front, press allowances towards the yoke and overlock.
Place the Placket pieces in pairs right sides together and stitch the outer edge. Turn the pieces right side out and press. Attach the outer placket to the front, press allowances towards the placket. Fold under the raw edge of the inner placket and topstitch into the attachment seam.
Stitch side and shoulder seams, press allowances towards the back and overlock.
Attach the upper layer of the neckline facing to the neckline, press allowances towards the facing. Fold under the raw edge of the lower layer and topstitch into the attachment seam of the upper facing.
Fold the Sleeve Decorative Tabs in half lengthwise, right sides together, and stitch along the long and short edges. Turn right side out, trimming allowances at corners, straighten and press. Overlock the raw short edge. Topstitch the tabs to the wrong side of the sleeves according to markings.
Stitch sleeve seams, press towards the back and overlock. Set sleeves into armholes, press allowances and overlock.
Overlock the raw edge of the garment hem and sleeve hems, fold inwards and topstitch.
On the right front, make buttonholes; on the left, sew on buttons. Make a buttonhole on each tab and sew a button onto each sleeve.
