In this session, I covered finishing the armholes, neckline, and attaching the sleeves to the jacket.
I stretched the bias binding slightly while sewing around the armholes to help it turn smoothly. After securing the armhole seams, I trimmed away loose threads and frayed edges.
Lesson Steps:
- Finished armholes by stitching down seams and binding with bias tape
- Trimmed frayed edges and cleaned up loose threads
- Bound the neckline and front opening with a long bias strip
- Pressed seams and hems flat
- Measured sleeve cap to match armhole before binding sleeve seams
- Pinned and sewed sleeves into armholes, easing in fullness
- Pressed sleeve seams towards the sleeve
