Burda Style For people who sew

Pockets
Fold over and iron the trimming of the upper pocket edges. Fold and iron seam allowances of the side and bottom pocket edges. Prior to that, sow along the rounded edges of the seam allowance with small stitches.
Fold the seam allowances over and iron them. To make this easier, use a stencil: Transfer the pattern piece onto thin cardboard. Cut the stencil without the seam allowance and place it onto the left side of the pocket. Fold over and iron the seam allowances along the edge of the stencil. (a) Place the pockets onto the front pieces at the pocket lines. Stitch, allowing 1.2 cm (about 0.47 inches).

Flaps
Place two flap pieces onto each other, right sides facing, and stitch. On the seam allowance of the base
edge, stitch diagonally towards the inside at the upper ends, leave the base edge open. Trim seam
allowances neatly. (b) Turn flaps. Pin edges, iron, and stitch allowing 1.2 cm (about 0.47 inches). ©
Loops
Fold pieces of fabric in half lengthwise, right side inside. Stitch 1.2 cm (about 0.47 inches) from the
selvage. To turn, cut the thread not too short on one end. Trim the seam allowances neatly. Thread the cut thread into a darning needle and tie tightly. (d) Pull the needle through the fabric tunnel with the eye
facing forward. (e) Iron the fabric, cut into six pieces of equal length. Pin the loops onto the yokes and
sleeves at the marked lines, fold ends over and sew.
