Sewing Instructions

WHEN STITCHING PIECES, PAY ATTENTION TO THE NOTCHES - THEY MUST MATCH!

1. Stitch darts on the front and back pieces. Press waist dart allowances towards the center, bust darts – upwards.
2. Fold the scallop pieces right sides together and stitch along the marked curved line. Trim allowances to 0.5 cm, clip curves. Turn the piece right side out, straighten, press. Place the scallops on the right side of the back insert and topstitch.
3. Finish the middle and lower edges of the flying back part with a narrow rolled hem. Place the right side of the flying back part with the wrong side of the back, insert the back insert with scallops between them and stitch. Finish allowances, fold the flying part to the right side.
4. Finish the lower edge of the flying front part with a narrow rolled hem. Place the right side over the left side and secure along the edges. Place the flying front part with the front, right side to wrong side, and face the neckline along the marked curved line. Clip allowances, turn the flying part to the right side.
5. Stitch side seams separately on the main and flying parts, press allowances towards the back and finish. Secure the main piece to the flying piece along the armhole edges and continue to treat as one piece.
6. Cut a bias binding 4 cm wide and a length equal to the back neckline length + 3 cm. Fold the bias binding in half lengthwise, right side out, and press. Place the binding with the neckline edge, right side, and stitch, starting and ending the seam exactly at the marked shoulder seam line, clip allowances.
