Heyhey,

my green dress is coming together and is starting to look like a dress, I hope the warm weather stays, so I can take it out soon.

The first parts can be found here: part1(pattern), part2(cutting) and part3(first seams)

 

 I pinned the cuffs to the sleeves 

and the collar stands to the collar, both at the same time, to each side of the collar

I also pinned the centre back

and the right side seam

In the left side seam I also put one of the ribbons

then sewed and serged the centre back seam and side seams

sewed the collar stands and cut the seam allowance short at the corner

sewed the cuffs to the sleeves and ironed the seam allowance into the cuffs

folded the collar stand over and ironed it

next I pinned, sewed and serged my shoulder seams

now I pinned my top sleeve seam and sewed it

just stopped shortly before the seam

now I folded the cuff inside and the seam allowance down and pinned the side seam of the cuff on each side

then sewed the 2 seams

now turned the right side out, folded the cuff inside, and pin the inner seam allowance into the cuff

then sewed all around in the original seam, I did sew back and forth over the slit, to prevent any ripping

finished sleeves

next I pinned the ribbon and the collar to the markings onto the right side of the bodice

then pinned my facing on top of it

sewed it and serged it, as well as the open edge of the facing, then folded the facing over and inside the bodice and ironed it

my almost finished top part of the dress so far.

keep sewing and smiling
