In this session, I taught how to finish the darts, attach the side panels, and bias bind the neckline and armholes of the Amanda Jacket.

I worked carefully with the delicate silk habotai fabric to avoid fraying.

Lesson Steps:

• Closed the darts by stitching from the bottom up
• Attached the bias bound side panels to the back piece
• Bias bound the front neckline and shoulder areas
• Joined the front and back at the shoulders
• Bias bound the back neckline, clipping corners as needed
• Pressed the bias binding flat and tacked down corners
• Prepared to bias bind the armholes next
