Materials and miscellaneous Zip, approx. 30cm Satin ribbon, approx. 3.5m (max. 3cm wide) for edging Stay tape, if wished Tip: Use right half of pattern piece for outer fabric, left half for lining. Cutting out Outer fabric Lining 1 x bodice to fabric fold 1 x lower front section to fabric fold 1 x lower front section to fabric fold 1 x back yoke to fabric fold 1 x back yoke to fabric fold 1 x lower back section to fabric fold 1 x lower back section to fabric fold 1 x bodice to fabric fold Preparation Arrange the paper-pattern pieces on the fabric according to the pattern-layout illustration. Cut out pieces, then transfer all markings to the fabric. Mark delicate fabrics with darning thread. Make irregular pleats in the bodice fabric; press, and staystitch the pleats from the wrong side (Fig.12). Fig.12 The pleats should run from the centre to the selvedge or to the side seam, as applicable. Depending on the size of the pattern pieces, you’ll need 30-40cm fabric for the pleats. Pin or baste the pleats in place before pressing if necessary. After pressing, arrange and cut out the pattern pieces. Tip: Pin gently draping fabrics such as chiffon or silk onto paper, then cut out. When cutting out, make sure that the pleats on the outer fabric run from the centre of the fabric towards the side seams. Ironing spray makes it easier to press the pleats. Sewing instructions Work outer fabric and lining in the same way Back yoke and back section Outer fabric Sew back yoke and back section together with right sides facing, gathering the additional width of the back section and adjusting it to the yoke width. Trim seam allowance, neaten if necessary, and iron towards the yoke. Sew together back sections of lining as for the outer fabric.
Sew together back lining and outer-fabric section along the top edge. Trim and neaten seam allowance. Understitch the seam allowance towards the lining and press (Figs.13 and 14). Fig.13 Fig.14 Join bodice with front section Close darts on lining and on outer fabric (Fig.15). If necessary, topstitch the darts on the outer fabric so that the pleats don’t stick out. Mark the points of the bodice and lower-front section according to Fig. 16. Sew together lower-front section and bodice such that the additional widths are gathered, or adjusted to the underbust seam by means of gathering threads. Fig.15 Fig.16 Fig.17 Tip: When sewing together the sections, begin at a side seam and sew up to the point marking in the centre-front (Fig. 17). Snip the point on the bodice up to 1mm short of the marking, then sew the second side. Trim and neaten seam allowances and press to the lining or outer fabric. Baste or understitch edges if necessary. Sew lining- and outer-fabric sections together along the neckline edge. Trim seam allowances; snip in the neckline point, neaten if necessary, and iron to the bodice. Side seam Close left side of top in one go; trim and press seam allowance. Tip: With very delicate fabrics, the seam can be sewn with an overlock rolled seam. Alternatively, neaten the seam allowances individually.
