DAY 3
1. Iron on the interfacing to the WRONG side of the front and back facing pieces. Make sure the shiny side is facing down. That side of the interfacing has the glue.
2. Sew your front and back facing together at the shoulder seams. Press seams open.
3. Serge or zig-zag stitch around the outer edge of the facing.
4. Pin and sew your front and back bodice right sides together. Press seams open.
5. Lay the bodice right side up and spread out at the shoulders. Lay the facing right side together (with the interfacing facing up) and match the shoulder seams. Pin all the way around. Sew using a 1/8 inch seam allowance.
6. Clip into the entire neckline every 1/2 inch, up to but not over the sewn line you just made.
7. Turn facing to the inside of the bodice. Press well with an iron.
8. Topstitch using a 1/8 inch seam allowance.
You're DONE for TODAY! Check back tomorrow to attach the sleeves and ruffles!
