Burda Style For people who sew

APPLY SLEEVES
Tighten the bobbin threads slightly.

Position the sleeve inside the armhole, right sides facing. When applying the sleeve 4 points are important for the right “fit”: the cross lines 12 on sleeve and front piece have to meet. The inner sleeve seams have to meet the cross lines on the side piece. The cross lines of the sleeve curve have to meet the shoulder signs on the back piece. The eased width has to be distributed in a way that does not pucker or create pleats. Stitch the sleeve on the sleeve side. Trim allowances and press inside the front and back piece (a).

LINING
BACK PIECE / PLEAT
Fold the back piece lengthwise, right sides facing. Stitch along the marked lines of the pleat. Secure seam ends. Press the pleat to the side (b).

Stitch BACK PRINCESS SEAMS (seam 4). Press allowances apart.

Stitch the back facing on the lining back piece, right sides facing. Snip in allowances and press inside the lining ©.
