Fabric & Materials

Fabric recommendations: suiting fabrics made of natural or blended fibers. ALSO NEEDED: lining fabric; fusible interfacing; 5 buttons.

CUTTER'S MUST

IF THE PATTERNS HAVE A DOUBLE CONTOUR, THEY INCLUDE SEAM ALLOWANCES. IF THE CONTOUR IS SINGLE, THE PATTERNS DO NOT INCLUDE SEAM ALLOWANCES. SEAM ALLOWANCES: all seams 1.0 cm. ATTENTION! FIRST, PRINT OUT THE PAPER PATTERNS AND LAY THEM OUT ON THE FABRIC WIDTH (fabric width can be from 90 cm to 150 cm) TO DETERMINE HOW MUCH MATERIAL YOU WILL NEED. WHEN STITCHING PIECES, PAY ATTENTION TO THE NOTCHES - THEY MUST MATCH!

Stitch the dart from the pocket mark to the side seam, trim seam allowances to 1 cm, tapering to nothing at the point, press open. Stitch the lower pocket bag to the wrong side of the welt. Attach the welt to the front along the lower dart line. Attach the upper pocket bag to the front along the upper dart line. Make diagonal cuts 1-1.5 cm from the end of the pocket.
