Making Pattern D
Follow the same directions as pattern C and use a pin and thick stock paper to create pattern C. With the fabric I had left, I’ve piece together enough fabric to complete the sleeves and kept the horizontal against vertical stripes theme.
- Piece together enough fabric to make two sleeves, cut off excess fabric
- Sew underarm together
Making Pattern E
Follow the same directions as pattern C and use a pin and thick stock paper to create pattern E with modifications. I’ve changed it to a V-neck shown in red.
- Cut 4 pieces
- Sew 2 pieces together, right sides together as shown with the white dashed line
- Turn inside out so the right side is showing
- do same for the other 2 pieces
Making Pattern F
Front neck (F1):
- Cut two rectangle (F1) that will cover the v-neck
- From the inside, place (E, F1, Body) in order and sew together
- Flip (E) out to the front and iron. Layer order now becomes (F1, Body, E) sew F1 & Body together (do not sew E)
Back neck (F2):
- Cut a half curve shape (F2)
- Sew (F2 & Body) right sides together and flip (F2) inside and iron down.
Finishing Steps
- Sew slant of shoulders
- Match sleeves to body right sides together and sew.
- Sew the finishing edges for sleeves and the bottom of the garment.
