Heyhey,

thank you for your votes what look I should go for. I started sewing this week and here are the first seams I closed. You can re-read the steps before here: pattern and cutting.

I started with pinning the darts in the back parts

and I pinned the shoulder parts to the side front parts, starting with a pin in each end and then get the fabric even out in between

starting from each end towards the middle

looks like this

then I pinned the centre front and facings together

the centre front moving out a few mm, so the facing is a few mm bigger at the pointy end of the collar/revers

and the same with the other side

then I pinned the centre back seam at the lower back parts

and the button facings to the sleeves, for this I left the facing folded and pinned through 3 layers of fabric

then I sewed the darts

and ironed them towards the centre back

I sewed the shoulder parts to the side front parts, cut into the seam allowance of the front parts and cut small triangles from the seam allowances of the shoulder parts

and ironed the seam allowances apart

I also sewed facing and centre fron together at neckline and front edge

cut in the seam allowance at the slight curve

and cut the corners off.

then I ironed the seam allowances apart

and turned the right side out, because the front part is a little smaller the pointy end is curving up

and makes it fold naturally as it is supposed to

also sewed the centre back seam

and ironed the seam allowances apart.

at the sleeves I cut into the seam allowance of the sleeve

and ironed the seam allowance into the sleeve.

Do you have any questions about this project so far? Do not hesitate to ask!

If you haven’t voted for the next tutorial yet, you can still do so here.

The print I designed myself, so if you like it, you can visit spoonflower here and order it for your next project (also in other color-combinations or a smaller size) and I will earn a commission with ever order. For this project I had it printed on heavy cotton twill.

keep sewing and smiling
