Cutter's Must

From main fabric:
Back upper – 2 pieces
Front upper – 1 piece
Back lower – 1 piece
Front lower – 1 piece

Tip: Knit fabric pieces should be sewn with a special elastic stitch or directly on a 3- or 4-thread overlock. The hem allowance should be topstitched with a twin needle or on a coverstitch machine to maintain elasticity.

Sewing Instructions

Overlock the side and bottom edges of the back lower. Fold and topstitch the bottom edge first, then the side edges.
Stitch and press open the center back seam. Cut the trim strip (twill tape) in half and attach it to the lower of the back side edge. Press the seam towards the center seam. Fold the back lower in half lengthwise. Measure the length of the upper edge of the back lower (half). Mark this length from the center back seam along the bottom edge and further along the trim strip. Place notches on the trim strip. Stitch the upper and lower back parts. Press the seam downwards.
Overlock the bottom edge of the front lower. Fold and topstitch. Create a pleat along the upper edge of the front lower. Stitch the upper and lower front parts. Press the seam upwards.
On the side edges of the back and front, clip the seam allowance near the notches. Stitch the side edges of the back and front between the notches. The side seam can be stitched directly on an overlock, trimming the seam allowance to 0.7 cm. Stitch the shoulder edges. Press all seams towards the back.
Overlock the open side edge of the front from the lower notch to the hemline, fold and topstitch. On the back, fold and topstitch the open section of the side seam from the lower notch to the seam attaching the lower (including the trim strip) with a regular straight stitch.
Overlock the neckline and armhole edges, fold and topstitch. Fold the ends of the trim strip twice by 0.7 cm and topstitch.
