YOU NEED: middle/high stretchable jersey (natural or mixed), jersey braid (or piping) for trimming.

IF THE PATTERNS HAVE SINGLE CONTOUR, THE SEAM ALLOWANCE IS NOT PROVIDED.

SEAM ALLOWANCES: 1.5 cm for the hem/sleeve hems, 0 cm for the neck/strap’s side edges, 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!
