Sewing Instructions

When stitching pieces, pay attention to the notches - they must match!

Apply fusible interfacing to the Back Neckline Facing and Front Neckline Facing.
Stitch the shoulder seams, press the allowances towards the Back and overlock.
Lay the pleats on the sleeve hem according to the markings and baste them in place.
Stitch the side seams together with the underarm sleeve seams in one pass, press the allowances towards the Back and overlock.
Stitch each Cuff into a ring, press the allowances open. Fold the Cuff in half lengthwise, wrong sides together, and press. Stitch the outer layer of the Cuff to the sleeve edge. Turn under the raw edge of the inner layer and topstitch it in the ditch of the attachment seam.
Stitch the shoulder seams of the Back Neckline Facing and Front Neckline Facing, press the allowances open. Overlock the outer edge. Place the facing on the garment right sides together and stitch around the back and front neckline. Clip the allowances at the curves and snip into the V point. Turn the facing to the inside, straighten and press. Tack the facing to the shoulder seams.
Press the bottom edge of the garment to the wrong side by 1 cm, then by another 2 cm and topstitch.
Fold the Waistband (tie belt) in half lengthwise, right sides together, and stitch, leaving an opening on the long side for turning. Turn it right side out, straighten, press and slipstitch the opening closed.
