Pattern contents
Seam allowance included
Cut your fabric following the pattern outlines; you do not need to add seam allowances as they are included. For your information: seam allowances are 1 cm and hems are 2 cm. For technical reasons, these measurements may vary, but in that case, I will let you know 😊
