ILLUSTRATION GUIDE

RIGHT SIDE WRONG SIDE

 Step 1:
Sew darts on center front
and press darts downwards.

* If you have decided to inferface

your facings, do so before step 2.

Step 2:
Sew center front and center back bodice pieces together at
shoulders, press open seams. Repeat this step with the front
and back facings. It is at this stage that you should finish side
seams.
 Step 3 :
To create the �e closures, take �e pieces and sew each set
with right sides together, leaving notched ends open. Turn
both �es and press.
A:

Note: Trimming the seams down to 1/4” will make turning the
�e easier, as well as make the �e easier to press. Using a ruler
or long pointed object will help push out the corners for a neater
finish!
B:

With right sides together, s�tch �e pieces to back bodice

at notches.
Step 4:
 Step 5:
Now we are going to install an “all in one facing”. With right sides
together, s�tch facings and bodice pieces along neckline (with �e
pieces sandwiched in between). Unders�tch neckline. Next, sew
bodice and facings along armholes. Unders�tch as far as you can
reach with your sewing machine. When unders�tching, make sure
seam allowances are pressed towards facings.

A�er sewing armholes and neckline either clip into seam allowances
or reduce neckline and armhole seams to 1/4”. This will allow the seams
to lieflat a�er turning.
 Step 6:
One at a �me, pull the back bodice pieces towards the front
bodice through the shoulder channels. Press.

Step 7:
Flip facings up and pin side seams together of the facings
and the bodice. S�tch side seams in one long seam along
the bodice and facing. Press seams open. Flip facing
back down and press.
A: B:
 Step 8:
Now is a good �me to finish the edges of your facings. You can
use an overlocker to serge the edges (if you do not own a serger,
a zig zag s�tch will work too) or turn up the edges to create a
rolled hem finish.

Step 9:
Hand tack or machine sew facings to bodice seam allowances
to prevent them from rolling up.
 Step 10:
Finish bo�om edge of hem. Press hem up 1” and s�tch down.
