FABRIC RECOMMENDATIONS FOR TOP SEWING PATTERN 5658

CUTTER’S MUST FOR TOP SEWING PATTERN 5658
From Main Fabric:
- Back – 1 piece
- Front – 1 piece
- Collar – 1 piece
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Before cutting your fabric, print and lay out the paper patterns according to your fabric width (90–150 cm) to determine required yardage.
Remember to account for paired and symmetrical pieces.
When sewing, pay close attention to all notches — they must match precisely to ensure correct construction and fit.
Note: Before assembly, ensure that the collar, once joined into a ring, comfortably passes over the head.
Sewing Tip for Knit Fabrics:
Garment pieces cut from knit fabrics should be sewn using a stretch stitch or a narrow zigzag stitch to maintain elasticity.
When finishing seams with an overlock, trim seam allowances to approximately 0.6–0.8 cm.
Hems are best finished using a twin needle to preserve stretch and achieve a clean, professional finish.
