5/8” (1.5 cm) for all edges and stitches. Using BURDA copying paper, transfer the lines and signs of the pattern onto the wrong side of the fabric. Instructions can be found in the packaging.

Sewing
While sewing, the right sides of the fabric are facing.
Transfer all lines of the pattern onto the right side of the fabric using basting stitches.

LINING
Use pieces 5 to 9 to cut lining for view A.
Use pieces 3 to 7 and 14 to cut lining for view B.
_ See cutting diagrams on pattern sheet.

INTERFACING
Cut interfacing as illustrated and iron on the wrong side of the fabric pieces.

Tips on working with delicate fabrics:
Use a fine needle and thread for transferring pattern lines to the right side of the fabric pieces and for all other basting. Do not use heavy basting thread. Also use a fine sewing machine needle (size 60 or 70) with a sharp tip.
Neaten seam allowances if possible by zigzag stitching approx. 1⁄4" (0.7 cm) next to seam on both allowances.
Trim excess allowance close to stitching and press allowances to one side.
