Seam allowance
Your pattern includes a 1 cm seam allowance.
3 cm hem allowance.
There is no seam allowance at the neckline on model B and C, as these versions are finished with a neckband.
Grainline
The grainline is important.
The arrow on each pattern piece must always be placed parallel to the fabric’s selvage to ensure correct placement on the fabric.
Notches / Markings
Remember to cut the small notches indicated on the pattern pieces.
These markings help ensure that the pieces fit together correctly during sewing.
Stitch length
Use a stitch length of approx. 3.5 for topstitching on stretch fabrics.
Short stitches may cause an uneven result when sewing jersey.

That’s why we sew topstitching…
Topstitching has both a practical and a visual function.
It keeps the seam allowance in place and gives a neat, professional finish.
At the same time, it helps shape the design expression – you can choose thread colour and placement depending on the look you want. Sew close to the edge for a discreet finish or with a little distance for a more striking effect.
