Sewing Instructions

Fuse interfacing to the designated pieces.
Stitch the centre back seam. Finish the allowances and press them to the left.
Stitch the side seams. Finish the allowances and press them towards the back.
Cut a bias strip (unless using ready-made bias binding) 4 cm wide and as long as the armhole + 5 cm. Fold the strip in half lengthwise, wrong sides together, and press. Place it along the armhole edge on the right side and stitch. Clip the allowances. Turn the binding to the wrong side and topstitch along the fold onto the garment. Press the seam.
Place the Placket pieces right sides together in pairs and stitch the outer edge, clip the allowances, turn right side out, smooth and press. Make the buttonholes. Stitch the plackets to the right side of the Front. Tuck the lower ends of the plackets inside, lapping the right placket over the left, and stitch across to secure the lower edge. Finish the allowances.
Place the two Neckline Facing pieces right sides together and stitch the outer edge. Clip the allowances, turn right side out, smooth and press. Stitch the outer layer of the facing into the neckline of the Front and Back. Press the allowances towards the facing; at the shoulders press them inwards. Turn under the allowance of the inner layer and topstitch it over the attaching seam. At the shoulders, stitch the facing allowances together.
Finish the hem edge, press the hem allowance to the wrong side and topstitch.
Sew on the buttons.
