Fabric & Materials
FROM FUSIBLE INTERFACING: all inner BACK PANEL and FRONT PANEL plackets. Tip: Cut pieces from knit fabrics should be sewn with a special elastic or narrow zigzag stitch. When serging, trim SEAM ALLOWANCES to 0.8 cm. The hem allowance is topstitched with a twin needle or coverstitch machine to maintain elasticity. You can also sew the pieces directly on a 3- or 4-thread overlocker.
