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 – 1.5 cm. Other seams – 1.0 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 pieces).

From main fabric:
- Back Facing – 2 pieces
- Back – 1 piece on fold
- Front – 1 piece
- Front Facing – 2 pieces
- Sleeve – 2 pieces
- Cuff – 2 pieces
From fusible interfacing:
- Back Facing – 1 piece
- Front Facing – 1 piece
- Cuff – 2 pieces

When stitching pieces, pay attention to the notches - they must match! Attention! Markings on the patterns are on the right side!
