Hi, it’s not as bad as it seems! You need to sew the front and back pieces along the side seams first (match number 4). Once the fronts and back are together, you then need to sew the sleeve side seam (make sure you mark on the matching numbers so you know which is front and back). Put the sleeves onto the body of the blouse – I did this by attaching the ‘flat’ underarm part first, the clipping into the corner of the body side seam to spread and pivot at the corner to continue the armscye seam. When you’ve got to that stage, the bodice and sleeve tops are continuously gathered and then attached to the top shoulder yoke, followed by the inside yoke.
Hope this helps – made it last year and it’s a lovely blouse.
