YOU NEED: middle/high stretchable jersey (natural or mixed),
decorative ring for a shoulder strap.
IF THE PATTERNS
HAVE DOUBLE CONTOUR, THE SEAM ALLOWANCE IS PROVIDED, IF THE PATTERNS HAVE
SINGLE CONTOUR, THE SEAM ALLOWANCE IS NOT PROVIDED.
SEAM ALLOWANCES: 0.5 cm for the hem;
1 cm for other seams.
ATTENTION! Before sewing, print paper patterns and lays them out
according to the linen width (from 90 to 150 cm) to find out how much material
you need (do not forget about double and symmetric details).
WHEN SEWING, BE
CAREFUL WITH NOTCHES – THEY MUST BE COINCIDING!
CUTTING:
Fabric:
1. Back part – 1 piece
2. Front part – 1 piece
3. Shoulder strap – 2 pieces
OUR ADVICE: stitch jersey details with
special elastic/zig-zag stitches. If you use an overlock, cut seam allowances
till 0.6-0.8 cm width. Topstitch hem allowances with double needle to save
elasticity.
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Stitch
side front/side back edges. Neaten seams and press them backwards.
2. Neaten
the hem/armhole hems/back upper edge. Press them into wrong side, then
topstitch.
3. Cut front upper facing (width
depends on ring’s size). How to count the facing: ring’s width + 0.5
cm for free wearing + 2 cm for seams = facing’s width.
4. Neaten
facing’s outer/side edges. Fold facing’s side edges into wrong side at 0.7 cm
width. Lay the facing on the front part right sides together and overstitch
along inner edge. Fold the facing into wrong side, insert the ring between the
front part and facings, and then topstitch.
5. Fold
shoulder strap along the center wrong side out. Overstitch strap’s long sides.
Turn the strap right side out and press it. Lay open edges together and neaten
them. Pull strap’s one end into the ring and fix it on the wrong side. Make a
cross on the back, adjust straps’ lengths and sew them to back upper edge.
