Sewing Instructions
WHEN STITCHING PIECES, PAY ATTENTION TO THE NOTCHES - THEY MUST MATCH!
- On the back and front pieces, stitch the shoulder, waist, and bust darts. Press the depths of the waist and shoulder darts towards the center of the piece, and the bust darts upwards.
- Stitch the center back seam, press allowances to the left side and overcast.
- Stitch the shoulder seams, press allowances to the back and overcast.
- Overcast the left side seams separately. Stitch the left side seam from the armhole edge to the first mark and from the second mark to the bottom. Press allowances open, insert the zipper. Stitch the right side seam, press allowances to the back and overcast.
- Fold the collar lengthwise in half, right sides together, and stitch the ends up to the mark "o". Clip the allowances at the mark, trim the corners, turn the collar right side out, straighten, and press. Stitch the outer part of the collar to the neckline, clipping the allowance at the front corner, turn under the inner part and topstitch into the seam. Press the finished collar, positioning the stitching seam in the middle of the inner side.
- Cut (if not ready-made) a bias binding 4 cm wide and a length equal to the armhole length + 5 cm. Fold the bias binding lengthwise in half, right side out, and press. Place the binding with the armhole edge right sides together and stitch. Clip the allowances. Fold the binding to the wrong side and topstitch along the fold to the main piece. Press the seam.
- Overcast the bottom edge, press to the wrong side and topstitch.
- Cut a rectangle from the main fabric for the tie loop, 10x5 cm. Fold the piece lengthwise in half, right sides together, and stitch the long edge. Turn the tie loop right side out, straighten, and press. Fold the two ends of the tie together, wrap them with the tie loop, adjust the length, and secure.
