Key Design Features

Neckline: Features a classic crew neckline, neatly finished with a self-fabric binding for a clean edge.

Sleeves: Full-length raglan sleeves provide a comfortable range of motion, finished with a simple hem.

Color Blocking: A prominent design element showcasing two contrasting or coordinating fabrics, gracefully separated by a curved seam across the upper chest.

Level Of Difficulty

Intermediate. Requires basic experience with sewing knit fabrics, including elastic stitching, serging, and binding curved edges.

Fabric Recommendations

Choose knit fabrics with a medium degree of stretch for optimal drape and comfort:

Medium stretch knit fabrics
Natural fibers (e.g., cotton jersey, bamboo knit)
Blended fibers (e.g., cotton-spandex blends, rayon-poly blends) in coordinating colors

Additional Supplies

No additional notions are required.

Fabric & Materials

Fabric recommendations: medium-stretch knit fabric made of natural or blended fibers in coordinating colors.

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 – 2 cm. Neckline and sleeve hem allowance – 0 cm. FIRST OF ALL, 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:
- Lower back part – 1 piece on fold
- Lower front part – 1 piece on fold
From main fabric 1:
- Upper back part – 1 piece on fold
- Upper front part – 1 piece on fold

Tip: Knit fabric pieces 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 topstitched with a twin needle to maintain elasticity.

Sewing Instructions

Stitch the upper and lower front parts. Serge the seam and press it upwards.
Stitch the upper and lower back parts. Serge the seam and press it upwards.
Stitch the right shoulder seam. Serge the allowance and press it towards the back.
Cut a fabric strip (from fabric 1) at a 45-degree angle, 4 cm wide. Fold the binding strip in half lengthwise and press. Unfold the piece, fold the long raw edges to the center and press again. Bind the neckline with the binding strip. Stitch the left shoulder seam. Serge the allowance and press it towards the back.
Stitch the side seams simultaneously with the sleeve seams, press the allowances towards the back and serge. Bind the sleeve edges using a method similar to the neckline treatment.
Serge the bottom edge of the garment, press it to the wrong side and topstitch.
