Side Seams
1. With FRONT and BACK pieces right sides together,
flip up the facing at the side seams and stitch the side
seams together along the facing and main body pieces.
2. Line up the BACK pieces right sides together, flip up
the facing and sew your back seam. Next flip up the
back facing and finish sewing your back seam. Clip into
the corner if needed.
3. Press open and finish your seams if you’d like.
4. Press the neckline and armholes flat and once
everything is the correct shape, pin the side seams of
the facing and body pieces together.
5. Stitch in the ditch along the side and center back
seams on the right side of the garment to attach the
facing and body pieces. You should stitch the length of
the facing.
TIDBIT: Stitching in the ditch is when you sew in a seam,
which then makes your new stitching line less visible.
Hem
1. You have a 1/2” hem allowance. Fold the hem up by
1/4” then again another 1/4” and pin.
2. Stitch your hem down and press.
3. Sew your button to the right back opening.
