Length at center back = 59 - 63 cm
Anna was sewn in this tutorial from a blue silk and a colourful stretch polyester fabric.
Material needed:
We recommend you silk, viscose or polyester satin combined with jersey.
Sizes 34-50
- Jersey 0.80 m (140 cm wide)
Sizes 34-50
- Outer fabric 0.90 m (140 cm wide)
Cut:
Cut the pattern pieces from your outer fabric. Lay the fabric with the right side facing up. Lay the selvages parallel to the center so you can place the front and back pieces at fabric fold . The pattern pieces should all lie with the lettering facing up. Always align the threadline arrow in the same direction for all pieces and parallel to the selvage edge of the fabric. Transfer all notches from the pattern by making a 3mm incision with scissors or chalk and mark the ends of the darts, note that bust darts are to be worked from size 42-50. Clip the seam allowance at the fabric break because this is always a center. Marks define positions of dart ends, pocket positions, and more. Transfer these either with chalk or pins.

- 1x front part in fabric fold
- 1x back part in fabric fold
- 1x neck strap
Sewing instructions:
For sewing this shirt you will need a sewing machine and an overlock sewing machine, alternatively use the zigzag stitch of your sewing machine for neatening the cut edges. Be sure to use a jersey needle and a stretchy stitch, i.e. if you are sewing with a domestic sewing machine, you should use either a zigzag stitch or the three-part elastic stitch, and then finish all seam allowances again with a zigzag stitch or other appropriate stitch to prevent them from fraying. In addition to the description, the colored lines on the pictures show you where to sew a seam or glue something.
When sewing, pay attention to the seam allowance included in the pattern. Seam allowances that are not specially marked are 1cm wide!
Have fun sewing!

Sizes 42-50 have a bust dart, sew it down according to the pattern.


After you have finished the bust darts, serge all side seams of the front and back.

Then close the side seams right sides together of the front and back pieces. Make sure you don't sew all the way to the end of the sleeve neckline (see yellow line in photo), so that the hem of the armhole can be folded over well later. Pay attention to the seam allowances in the pattern.

Press the seam allowances apart.

Close the shoulder seams with a seam and overcast the seam allowances together. Then press them according to back.

Finish the seam allowances of the sleeve all around....

... and press the sleeve hem of your shirt. Topstitch the hem and press everything flat. Pay attention to the notch in the cut.

After you have also serged the hem of your shirt with the overlock machine, iron it over at the notches and topstitch the seam allowance at 1cm.

Now we come to the neckline. Place the tape right sides together and sew it into a round.

Press the seam allowances apart.

Then iron the whole tape left to left onto the half in fold.
Variant 1:

Now you can place the strip right sides together at neckline . Pay attention to the left shoulder seam and the band seam, which now lie on top of each other.

The seam allowances are then topstitched flat. This method not only facilitates the final ironing out, but also has the effect that the collar, if it is not specially topstitched, automatically lays inside and does not roll out. Only the tape is stitched close to the edge on the seam allowances. The stitching line is then only visible from the left inside of the fabric, but not from the right side.
Now trim the entire 1cm seam allowance down to 0.5cm. This must be done so that the ribbon can now be folded over into the interior more easily.

Beat everything inside out and then topstitch the ribbon close to the edge.
Variant 2:

For variant 2, the ribbon must be shortened and stretched and stitched to the neckline so that the tape fits smoothly around the neck and does not stick out. The best way to do this is to pin the tape to a doll and decide how long the ribbon should be, depending on the fabric.
Now you can place the strip right sides together on the neckline . Pay attention to the shoulder seam and the ribbon seam, which must lie on top of each other.

Now serge the seam allowances together.
