Sleeves: Long one-piece set-in sleeves, sewn into the open armhole; the side and sleeve seams are stitched in one pass.

Finishing: Hems of the body and sleeves overlocked, turned up 1.5 cm and topstitched; seams sewn with a stretch stitch, a narrow zigzag or on an overlocker.

Level Of Difficulty

Beginner. Four pieces, sleeves set in flat, one continuous side and sleeve seam and a folded collar. Some experience with knits is useful.

Fabric Recommendations

Knit with low to medium stretch, in natural or blended fibres.

Additional Supplies

No notions needed
A twin needle or a coverstitch machine for the hems

Cutter's Must

From main fabric:
Front – 1 piece
Back – 1 piece
Sleeve – 2 pieces
Collar – 1 piece

Attention! Before starting, make sure that your head can pass through the collar once it is stitched into a ring.

Tip: Knit pieces are sewn with a special stretch stitch or a narrow zigzag stitch. Hem allowances are topstitched with a twin needle or on a coverstitch machine to keep them elastic. You can also sew the pieces directly on a 3- or 4-thread overlocker.

Sewing Instructions

Set in sleeves into the open armhole, matching notches. Overlock seam and press towards the sleeve. Stitch the side seam and sleeve seam in one continuous seam. Overlock seam allowances and press towards the back.

Overlock the lower edge of the garment and the lower edges of the sleeves. Fold to the wrong side, press, and topstitch.
