Required material:

We recommend a jersey with elastane .

Sizes 34-42

• Outer fabric 0.90 m (140 cm wide)

Size 44-50

• Outer fabric 1.30 m (140 cm wide)

Cutting:

Cut the pattern pieces from your fabrics . Lay the fabric with the right side up. Lay the selvedges parallel to the middle so that you can place the front and back pieces in the fold. Always align the thread up arrow on all pieces in the same direction and parallel to the selvedge of the fabric. Transfer all the clippings from the pattern through a 3mm long incision with scissors or chalk . Clip the seam allowance in the fabric fold because this is always a center. Markings define positions of dart ends , pocket positions, and much more. Transfer these either with chalk or a pin .

What you need from fabric:

• 1x left front part
• 1x right front part
• 1x back part in the break
• 2x sleeves in opposite directions

Sewing instructions:

To sew this shirt you will need a sewing machine and an overlock sewing machine, or alternatively the zigzag stitch on your sewing machine to neaten the cut edges.

Be sure to use a jersey needle and use a stretchy stitch, i.e. if you are sewing with a household sewing machine, you should use either a zigzag stitch or the three-part elastic stitch and then all seam allowances again with a zigzag stitch or another appropriate stitch Neaten so they don't fray. In addition to the description, the colorful lines in the pictures show you where a seam needs to be sewn or something needs to be glued.
When sewing, pay attention to the seam allowance included in the pattern. Seam allowances that are not specifically marked are 1cm wide!
Have fun sewing!

Sizes 46-50 have a bust dart, please sew this according to the cut. A simple, straight dart is sewn as follows after the markings have been transferred exactly. Place clips on clips, draw a line with tailor's chalk so that you don't sew too much or too little off and the side seam is nice and straight. The seam tapers nicely from the widest point to the tip (so that the dart doesn't bag). So that you don't have to lock at the tip, you can sew the last centimeter with a very small stitch. Iron the dart contents upwards.

First, overcast the seam allowances of the two necklines in both front pieces and the back neck hole. Then iron it 1cm inwards (to the left side). Then place the front pieces on the shoulder, right sides together, on the back piece and close these seams. Finish the seam allowance and iron it into the back piece.

Next, stitch the seam allowance of the neckline at 0.7cm from the right.

Neaten the hem edge of the right front piece, which is on top, and iron it inwards by 1cm. Then stitch the hem allowance at 0.7cm. To keep the edges looking nice, iron the neckline and hem edges flat.

We continue with the front part top step (right front part). Here you need to curl the side edge. Here we have a video in which Dagmar shows you the best way to curl.

You do this by first sewing along the side with the largest stitch (at a distance of 0.7cm). Leave the thread longer at both ends. You knot one side, pull on the other side and gather the side until it fits between the two clips on the left (underlay) front part (distribute the gathers evenly).

Place the gathered front piece on top of the bottom front piece as marked and pin along the side seams. Then sew the side seams together 0.7cm wide (make sure that the right front piece ends 1cm above the hem of the left front piece).

Now sew the entire front piece to the back piece at the side seams (1.5cm), right sides together. Neaten the seam allowances together and iron them backwards.

Next, neaten the hem edge of the lower front part and the back part and iron it 1cm wide. Then stitch the hem 0.7cm wide. For better processing, fold the upper front part away so that it is not accidentally stitched on. Then iron the hem smooth.

Sew the sleeves together, right sides together, and finish the seam allowances and hem.

Press the hem edges inwards at 1cm and sew the sleeve hems at 0.7cm.

Finally, just sew the sleeves into the corresponding armholes and finish the seam allowance together.
