At the Cutting Table
To make things easy I set the sleeves before sewing the side seams.
It is my practice to pin up to the gathers on both sides and then pull the gathering threads,
even the gathers and pin.I do all four sleeves.
At the machine
Sew in the sleeves and check them then sew the side seams and sleeve seams all in one seam.
At the Iron
Press the side / sleeve seams open.
At the Cutting Table
Trim the arm scye seams.
Pin on the collar and skirts.
Machine
Sew on the collar and skirts.
Cutting Table
Trim the new seams.
With the jacket and lining inside out, roll up the sleeves and pin them.
Then pin the two pieces right sides together aligning all the edges and encasing the collar and skirts.
Machine
Sew around the edges leaving an opening at the back neck of about 6".
Iron
Trim the edges and the corners, unroll the sleeves and turn right side out through the neck opening.
Press all the edges including the neck opening.
It's time for a break, besides I have to to find some buttons for this wee jacket.
