Heyhey,

how was your weekend? It was nice weather in Berlin, Germany, even though its the time of the year I am never sure, if I am happy about sunshine, just because I get hay fever. My whole face itches. Does anyone of you has hay fever as well and knows any great tricks? I only use some nose spray to keep it controllable, because those pills make me soooooooo tired…

Anyhow here a the next steps of that fun dot-dress, you can find the first steps of this project here: part1, part2, part3, part4, part5

 I pinned the sleeves into the bodice, marking on marking

bodice with wrong side out and sleeve with right side out, right sides facing each other

I had a little extra at the sleeve, so I pinned myself a little ruffle at the shoulder

then I sewed the sleeves in and overlocked the edges

top part almost finished

now I pinned the collar in place, starting at the button facings edge all around to the other edge. dress right side out and only one layer of the collar, right sides facing each other

sewed all around

then I folded it over and pinned the inside

folding the seam allowance into the collar, collar a few mm wider than the outside

pinned it all

 

and sewed

close to the seam, on the bodice, not on the collar, so the seam is almost invisible

this way I sewed it also in place on the inside, even though the seam does not look as straight, but the outside look is more important to me. 😉

Do you have any questions about this steps? Do not hesitate to ask!

keep sewing and smiling
