MATERIAL: elastic cotton, natural or artificial knitted fabric. 

 

YOU NEED: clue interfacing; braid of 0.5 cm width, eyelets.

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 details).

 

WHEN SEWING, BE CAREFUL WITH NOTCHES – THEY MUST BE COINCIDING!

 

CUTTING:

Fabric:

1. Front center - 2 details

2. Front side – 2 details

3. Back center - 1 detail

4. Back side – 2 details

5. Front band - 2 details

6. Back neckline facing – 1 detail

7. Sleeve - 2 details

 

Clue interfacing: front band, back neckline facing.

 

OUR ADVICE: To make the fabric along stitched seams stretch, sew details with narrow zigzag or with special stretchable stitches. To make the hem stretch, oversew hem allowance with special oversew stitches (overlock), and then sew it using double needle. This is also attachable to other edges that should stay elastic.

These recommendations are not for industry.
