Sewing Pattern — Top 5659

Recommendations on fabric: (natural or mixed) medium to


high stretch-knit jersey

If the pattern has a double line around it, the seam


allowances are included.

Note: By default, seam allowances are NOT included (single


line) and will need to be added when laying out and cutting
details.

Seam allowance: 1.5 cm for the hem, 1 cm for other seams

Attention! First of all, please print all the paper patterns and
lay them out at the width of fabric you plan to use (usually
from 90 to 150 cm) to see how much fabric you will need.
Don't forget to take into account pieces to be duplicated or cut
on a fold.

When sewing the garment, pay attention to notches, they


must match up with corresponding pieces.

CUTTING:

The word, “beam” used on some patterns means “straight of grain”. Some pieces will be cut on the
fold, this is noted on the pattern piece. Mark all notches and other design features such as darts,
pleats etc. from the pattern onto your fabric.

Advice:
Knit fabric pieces are sewn together with special stretch-stitch or narrow zig-zag stitch. Seam
allowance on hem is stitched with twin needles to save stretchiness. Pieces can also be sewn
together with 3 or 4 – thread serger. When serging, cut seam allowances to 0.6 – 0.8 cm.

Fabric:
1. Back – cut 1
2. Front – cut 1
