Seam allowances: all seams 1 cm; hem allowance for coat bottom and fabric sleeve – 0 cm; bottom allowance for knit sleeve – 3 cm; outer allowances for neckline and front edge – 0 cm; bottom allowance for flap – 0 cm. Attention! First, print out the paper patterns and lay them out on the fabric width (fabric width can be from 90cm to 150cm) to determine how much material you will need (do not forget to account for paired and symmetrical details).
