Hem allowance for the garment bottom – 1.5 cm. Hem allowance for the sleeve bottom – 3 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 (don't forget to account for paired and symmetrical pieces).
