- Place the Front YOKE pieces right sides together. Insert the upper FRONT PANEL between them so that the right side of the FRONT PANEL is against the right side of the interfaced YOKE piece. Stitch the three pieces together with one seam. Finish the seam, turn right side out, and press. Stitch the YOKE to the upper BACK PANEL in the same manner.

- Press the BIAS BINDING in half lengthwise and bind the armhole edges.
