FABRIC: silk or mixed material (duchess).
YOU NEED AS WELL: crepe-georgette for trimming; open-ended zipper; elastic; hook-and eye tape.
IF THE PATTERNS HAVE DOUBLE
CONTOUR, THE SEAM ALLOWANCE IS PROVIDED,
IF THE PATTERNS HAVE SINGLE
CONTOUR, THE SEAM ALLOWANCE IS NOT PROVIDED.
ATTENTION! Before sewing, print paper patterns and lay 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 pieces).
WHEN SEWING, BE CAREFUL WITH NOTCHES – THEY MUST BE
MATCHING!
ADVICE: to prevent seam from stiffing, sew pieces with
special (zigzag) stitch. To prevent hem from stiffing overcast it with
overlocker and then stitch using double needle. Do the same for all edges must
stay elastic.
