SEAM ALLOWANCES: 1.5 cm for the hem, 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!
