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

  • Knit binding tape (or bias binding), 4 cm wide

Cutter's Must

  • From main fabric:
    • Back – 2 pieces
    • Front – 1 piece on 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 loose stitches and gather. The amount of gathering for each section is indicated on the pattern.
  2. Bind the edge of the front part of the sleeve from the notch to the sleeve hem with bias binding. Bind the edge of the back part of the sleeve from the neckline to the hem. Serge the shoulder seam allowance of the Front.
  3. Lap the shoulder seam section of the Back over the Front and topstitch it along the binding stitching line. Place the back part of the sleeve onto the front part, matching the notches at the sleeve hem. Stitch along the sleeve hem with loose stitches and gather; the amount of gathering for each section is indicated on the Back pattern. Bind the sleeve hem.
  4. Bind the neckline with bias binding. Stitch the center back seam. Serge the seam and press.
  5. Stitch the side seams of the Back and Front, stitching the underarm edges of the sleeves at the same time. Serge the seams and press towards the back.
  6. Serge the garment hem, fold up 2 cm and topstitch.
