Sewing Instructions

Fuse interfacing to the Center Front Facings, Back Hem Facing, Front Hem Facings and Back Neckline Facing (press fusible interfacing onto the wrong side of the piece with a hot iron).
Stitch the darts on the Back and Fronts.
Stitch the shoulder seams, and the side seams down to the slit marks.
Stitch the shoulder seams of the Center Front Facings and Back Neckline Facing.
Stitch the side seams of the Back Hem Facing and Front Hem Facings.
Place the Center Front Facings, joined to the hem facings, on the Fronts right sides together and pin along the front edges and neckline; stitch, turn right side out and press.
On the right side of the garment, roll the front edges and hem slightly to the inside so the seam doesn't show, and baste.
Two-piece sleeve: fuse interfacing to the sleeve hem allowance. Stitch the Upper Sleeve to the Lower Sleeve; press the seam allowances open and turn the sleeve right side out. Press the hem allowance to the inside.
Setting the sleeve: run small gathering stitches along the sleeve cap between the marked notches and draw up the thread until the cap matches the corresponding length of the armhole. Dampen the fabric and shrink out the fullness with the tip of a hot iron. Pin the sleeve into the armhole, matching the notches, and stitch from the sleeve side.
Sew in the shoulder pads.
Lining: fold the ease pleat at the center back and secure it below the neckline and a few centimeters above the hemline. Stitch the darts in the lining Back and Fronts and sew the lining pieces together. Stitch the lining to the lower edges of the sleeves, the inner edges of the Center Front Facings and the Back Neckline Facing. Carefully pin the lining around the slits, turn under its edges and slipstitch them to the slit edges. Hem the lining.
Make buttonholes on the right front according to the markings and sew on buttons.
