Level Of Difficulty

Fabric Recommendations

For optimal drape and comfort, choose knit fabrics with a soft hand and slight stretch:

  • Knit fabrics with medium or low stretch, made from natural or blended fibers.

Additional Supplies

  • Bias binding, 4 cm wide

Cutter's Must

  • From main fabric:
  • 1. Back – 2 pieces
  • 2. Front – 1 piece with fold

Tip: When sewing knit fabrics, use a special elastic stitch or a narrow zigzag stitch. When serging, trim seam allowances to 0.8 cm. The hem allowance is topstitched with a twin needle to maintain elasticity. Alternatively, you can sew the pieces directly on a 3- or 4-thread overlock machine.

Sewing Instructions

  1. Along the neckline edge of the front, stitch with loosely tensioned stitches and gather. The amount of gathering in the sections is indicated on the pattern.
  2. Bind the front sleeve edge from the notch to the sleeve hem with bias binding. Bind the back sleeve edge from the neckline to the hem with bias binding. Serge the shoulder seam allowance of the front.
  3. Topstitch the shoulder seam section of the back onto the front. Stitch along the bias binding attachment line. Place the back sleeve onto the front sleeve, aligning the notches at the sleeve hem. Stitch along the sleeve hem with loosely tensioned stitches and gather. The amount of gathering in the sections is indicated on the back pattern. Bind the sleeve hem.
  4. Bind the neckline with bias binding. Stitch the center back seam of the back. Serge the seam and press open.
  5. Stitch the side seams of the back and front, simultaneously stitching the lower sleeve edges. Serge the seams and press towards the back.
  6. Serge the garment hem, fold up and topstitch.
