Heyhey,
so wordpress really does not like me today, I just wrote this whole post and then they had some troubles and now I have to do it again. 😦 Anyhow this are finally the next steps for the blouse top (first steps can still be found here.)
I overlocked all edges and overlocked the facings to front and back parts
then I pinned the front top part to the front middle part, looking to match up the lines (which sadly did not work at that seam)
then pinned the low front part to the middle front part, matching up the lines again
I also pinned the sleeves, matching lines on the top seam, on the inside it was not possible, and since it is not a very visible seam I did not care
then pinned the back pieces together, again carefully matching up the stripes
sewed and ironed sam allowance apart
same with front and back parts
burda says I should put an invisible zipper in, since I did not have one in a fitting color, I decided to use a normal zipper
and pinned the left side-seam (if your left handed use the right side seam) matching up lines
then sewed the first 2-3 cm at the armhole with normal stitching and then the rest with really wide stitching
ironed seam allowances apart
marked the 2 cm hem allowance
and placed the zipper according to that mark
pinned in place
and then pinned all around the zipper from the right side
sewed around it and then unpicked the wide stitching
well, its not invisible but well hidden.
I hope this was helpful for you! Do not hesitate to ask, if you have any questions!
keep sewing and smiling
