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 cm. Attention! First, print out the paper patterns and lay them out on the fabric width (fabric width can be from 90cm to 150cm) to determine how much material you will need (don't forget to account for paired and symmetrical pieces).

- Back - 1 piece on fold
- Front – 1 piece on fold
- Sleeve — 2 pieces
- From main fabric 1:
- Bottom facing – 1 piece on fold
- Cuff – 2 pieces
