How to sew it

  1. Sew the front to the back at the shoulders, right sides together, with a stretch stitch or an overlocker.
  2. Join the neck binding into a loop and fold it in half lengthwise. Quarter-mark it and the neckline, and sew it to the right side of the neckline, stretching the binding to fit.
  3. Sew the armhole bindings to the armholes flat in the same way, stretching them slightly round the curves.
  4. Sew the side seams from the hem up through the ends of the armhole bindings.
  5. Press the bindings’ seams towards the body and topstitch them down.
  6. Press up the hem and sew it with a twin needle or a zigzag.
