Cutter’s Must For Top Sewing Pattern

From Main Fabric:

1. Back – 1 piece on fold
2. Front – 1 piece on fold
3. Sleeve – 2 pieces

Important Information

Before cutting your fabric, print and lay out the paper patterns according to your fabric width (90–150 cm) to determine required yardage.

Remember to account for paired and symmetrical pieces.

When sewing, pay close attention to all notches — they must match precisely to ensure correct construction and fit.

For knit fabrics, seams should be sewn using an elastic stitch, narrow zigzag stitch, or overlock stitch.

When finishing on an overlocker, trim seam allowances to approximately 0.6–0.8 cm.

Hems are best finished using a twin needle to preserve fabric stretch and maintain a professional appearance.

Assembly Instructions

1. Shoulder and Side Seams

Stitch the shoulder and side seams of the Back and Front.

Overlock the seam allowances and press them toward the Back.

2. Sleeves

Stitch the sleeve seams.

Overlock and press the seam allowances.

3. Sleeve Attachment

Overlock the seam allowances and press.

4. Finishing

Overlock the lower edge of the garment, the lower edge of the sleeves, and the neckline edge.

Turn the edges to the wrong side, press, and topstitch (preferably with a twin needle).
