Level Of Difficulty

Intermediate. Requires experience with knit fabrics, accurately sewing gathers, and constructing overlapping garment pieces.

Fabric Recommendations

Choose knit fabrics with medium to high stretch for optimal drape and comfort:

  • Knitwear made from natural or blended fibers

Additional Supplies

No additional notions are required.

Cutter's Must

  • From main fabric:
    • Back – 1 piece on fold
    • Front – 1 piece on fold
    • Sleeve – 2 pieces
    • Detachable Piece (front overlay) – 1 piece
    • Collar – 1 piece

Tip: When sewing knit fabrics, use a special elastic stitch or a narrow zigzag stitch. The hem allowance should be topstitched with a twin needle or on a coverstitch machine to maintain elasticity. Alternatively, you can sew the pieces directly on a 3- or 4-thread overlocker.

Sewing Instructions

  1. Overlock the bottom and slanted edges of the Detachable Piece. Press the overlocked edges to the wrong side and topstitch.
  2. Stitch along the neckline edges of the Back and the Detachable Piece with loose stitches and gather, centering the gathers on the neckline. The neckline length is indicated on the pattern.
  3. Baste the Detachable Piece to the Front along the shoulder edges, armhole edge, neckline and left side edge. Note: the right shoulder edge of the Detachable Piece stops 1 cm short of the right armhole edge of the Front, and its left side edge stops 1.5 cm short of the bottom edge of the Front.
  4. Stitch the shoulder and side seams, overlock, and press towards the back.
  5. Stitch the Collar into a ring. Overlock the seam and press. Fold the collar in half lengthwise, right side out, and press. Using an iron, stretch the raw edge of the collar to the neckline length, giving the collar a semicircular shape. Attach the collar to the neckline, positioning the collar seam at the left shoulder seam. Overlock the seam and press.
  6. Stitch the sleeve seam, overlock, and press. Overlock the bottom edge of the sleeve, press to the wrong side, and topstitch. Set the sleeves into the armholes. Overlock the seam and press.
  7. Overlock the bottom edge of the garment. Fold to the wrong side, press, and topstitch. Start the topstitching from the left side seam on the front.
