Heyhey,

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend. Mine isn’t going as planned, just because I managed to get a cold in the middle of summer and my head feels like it wants to explode. But lets talk about nicer things: Here are the next steps for my fun yellow blouse. You can re-read the steps before here: pattern and cutting, sewing1

last week I finished my back-part and added the button-loops to the front, so this time I kept working on the front. Now I pinned the facing to the front parts, right sides facing each other

and sewed and serged until 5-10 cm before the shoulder seams

turned the facing on the inside and placed the buttons in the loops to see what the final look will be like and decided I like it that way

now I pinned the underlap-parts together

and sewed 2 long side and one short side together

cut the seam allowance at the corners

and turned the right side out and ironed. if you look closely you notice my flower is upside down, I should have checked for that before sewing. I decided that the underlap will not be seen, so I just left it that way.

next I placed it under the left front part, so half of it will be shown

then folded the facing open and pinned through seam allowance and facing the underlap in place

and sewed

then pinned the opening together the way it should look at the finished item

now I pinned the front waist-part to the top front part

sewed and serged and ironed the seam allowance into the waistpart

looks like this

now I placed my bottom part on the waist part, sewn with wide stitches which I ruffled to the right size, like I did last week with the back.

sewed and serged and ironed the seam allowance into the waist-part again

my finished front part

now I pinned the front and back parts at the shoulder seams together

sewed and serged

then pinned the rest of the facing to front and back parts

sewed and serged

and ironed the facing folded inside.
