The 60s Dress Project - Part 4

Continuing from last time, I sewed the shoulders together in an open seam.




The next step was to attach the sleeves. First I made sure the sleeves were the right way round.


I marked in pencil where to sew. I did a loose stitch 0.5cm from the edge and another loose stitch parallel to that 1.5cm from the edge. I then took hold of the top two threads and gently pulled to gather the top of the sleeve, this was to ease it into the arm hole. Then I attached it to the arm hole. I repeated this to the other sleeve.
