Sewing Instructions

1. Attach the front and back parts of the right SLEEVE to the armhole of the FRONT PANEL and BACK PANEL. Serge the seam and press it open.
2. Stitch the left shoulder seam of the BACK PANEL and FRONT PANEL. Serge the seam and press it towards the BACK PANEL.
3. Fold the COLLAR in half lengthwise, wrong sides together. Attach the COLLAR to the neckline, aligning the NOTCHES. The side edge of the COLLAR is positioned at the right shoulder seam. Serge the COLLAR insertion seam and press it.
4. Layer the FLOUNCES so that the narrowest is on top, the medium one underneath, then the widest. Align the edges and stitch along the inner edge with loosely tensioned stitches. Gather the FLOUNCE (the length of the gathering is indicated on the FRONT PANEL pattern piece). The outer edge of the FLOUNCE remains unfinished.
5. Place the FRONT PANEL and BACK PANEL right sides together and align the edges of the COLLAR, the right shoulder edge, and the SLEEVE edge. Insert the FLOUNCE between the back and front halves, stepping back 1.5 cm from the lower SLEEVE edge, and at the COLLAR, extend the FLOUNCE 2 cm above the COLLAR. The narrow FLOUNCE is directed towards the FRONT PANEL, the wide FLOUNCE towards the BACK PANEL. Stitch the COLLAR edge, the shoulder edge, and the SLEEVE edge. Fold the extended part of the FLOUNCE to the wrong side and secure by hand, covering the COLLAR stitching seam.
6. Stitch the side edges of the BACK PANEL and FRONT PANEL, simultaneously stitching the seam of the right SLEEVE. Serge the seams and press them towards the BACK PANEL.
7. Stitch the seam of the left SLEEVE. Serge the seam and press it.
8. Set the left SLEEVE into the armhole, aligning the NOTCHES. Serge the seam and press it.
9. Serge the lower edge of the garment and the lower edge of the SLEEVE. Fold to the wrong side, press, and topstitch. For the right SLEEVE, start and end the stitching near the FLOUNCE.
