Cutting Fabric
On each pattern piece, you will find a capital letter. On the cutting layout plan, you will find the same capital letters so that you can easily see which pattern pieces to use for the view you have chosen.
YOU WILL NEED THE FOLLOWING PATTERN PIECES:
A, B, C, D, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O
Sewing
NOTE! The Pattern Has 1 Cm Seam Allowances Included Unless Otherwise Noted.
1. Cut all pieces in fabric, pocket lining and interfacing. Remember to transfer all notches and markings to the fabric. (Watch the YouTube video on how to mark notches.) see video
2. Press interfacing onto the following pieces:
Placket (C)
Facing (D)
Pocket welt (K).
3. Press small pieces of interfacing (approx. 2 x 2 cm) onto the pocket corners and the end of the crotch seam on the front pants (I).
TOP - Smocking and Assembly
4. Start by sewing elastic smocking on the back piece (F). See video
Use a heat or water-erasable pen to draw lines on the right side of the fabric as sewing guide lines. The first line is 2 cm from the top (widest part), then continue with 1 cm spacing down to 2 cm from the bottom. Watch the video on how to sew smocking.
Wind the elastic thread onto the bobbin by hand. Do not stretch the thread while winding. Set stitch length to approx. 3.5–4 mm. Do a sewing test to check what works on your machine.
Stitch on the right side along the drawn lines. Do not cut the thread at each end—sew to the end of the fabric, lift the presser foot, pivot the fabric, and sew back on the next line.
Steam the smocked piece using your iron without touching the fabric directly.
NOTE! After smocking, reset your machine to a standard stitch length of approx. 2.5 mm.
5. Sew the bodice front piece (A) to the bodice front side piece (B), right sides together.
6. Sew the bodice back pieces (F) to the bodice side back pieces (G), right sides together.
