Heyhey,

here are finally the next steps for the dress #111 of burda 2/15! The first parts can be found here: part1, part2, part3 and part4.

 first I pinned the ironed buttonhole facing from last post in place. folded open

 then I started ironing the facing for the buttons by marking the final width

 next I ironed the seam allowance into the facing

 then ironed the edge close to the marked line

 now I folded and ironed it all over at the marked line

 also pinned in place, as close to the original seam as possible

 I also pinned the side seams

 and shoulder seams

 and I pinned the sleeves facings to the sleeve hems, sleeves right side out, facings wrong side out, right sides facing each other

 also the collar parts on top of each other

 I sewed the facings as close to the original seam as I could

 sewed and overlocked side seams and shoulder seams

 I sewed the sleeve hem and overlocked the top end of the facing

 sewed the collar and cut the seam allowance short at the corners

 to turn the collar right side out it helps to first iron the seam allowances apart

 then I folded it over and iron the right form

 same with the hem of the sleeves, seam allowances apart

 then folded the facing inside and ironed

 then I sewed the facing in place, I use the sticky note to mark the width from the edge to the seam, so it looks even, and the sticky note is easy to remove

 my finished sleeves the hem the inside

I hope this was helpful and/or interesting for you, let me know if you have any questions!

Next week I will sew the sleeves to the bodice, and attach the collar and maybe also do the buttonholes and buttons.
