Frill (edges unfinished)
To gather the frill, sew along the length of the frill with loose and wide stitches and be sure to leave a tail at both ends. Pull the bobbin thread so that it matches the length of the yoke’s side edges and the sleeve’s back base edge until you reach the vertical line (notch). Tie thread. Distribute width evenly. (a)
Pin the frill onto the side edge of the yoke and continuously over the sleeve base edge, as depicted, right sides facing. The frill ends at the vertical line. (b)
Front Edges
Fold the Front Edge (Creating the Button Facing) at the SELVAGE LINE, then at the TRIMMING SELVAGE, iron and pin. ©
Stitching the Front Yoke
Stitch the front yoke onto the front piece, right sides facing. Coming from the front edge until you reach the rounded edge (seam number 4). The seam allowance of the yoke is overlapping at the front edge (arrow) (d). Stitch the remaining yoke, taking in the frill (e). Trim seam allowances and iron into yoke. Instructions are included in the pattern.
