WHEN SEWING, BE
CAREFUL WITH NOTCHES – THEY MUST BE COINCIDING!
CUTTING:
Fabric:
1. Back part – 1 piece
2. Front part – 1 piece
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. Neaten upper front edges, press into wrong side and
topstitch them.
2. Cut the facing of front oval edge depending on
ring’s width. How to count the facing: ring’s width + 0.5 cm for free
wearing + 2 cm for seams = facing’s width.
3. 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. Rolf the facing into
wrong side inserts the ring between the front part and facings then topstitch.
4. Trim front armhole with jersey braids leaving
braid’s ends on the strap.
5. Neaten upper back edge.
6. Stitch side front/side back edges. NB: back
side seam is 1.5 cm longer than front side seam. Make edges equal beginning
from lower edge. Neaten seams and press them backward.
7. Fold back upper allowance into wrong side and topstitch
it.
8. Neaten the hem. Press it into wrong side and topstitch.
9. Adjust strap’s length when trying on. Sew straps’
ends to back upper edge.
