Bind the bottom of the armsceye. Then, prior to sewing shoulder seams, the yoke and its lining can be attached to the gathered skirt in one operation (make a sandwich with the skirt as the filling). Sew neck seam in same fashion. Turn, pulling skirt out at shoulder seams, machine-sew the shoulder seams of the garment, then whip-stitch the shoulder of the lining. It's not more than 3 inches of hand-work. Still, the hand-sewing can be eliminated, if you carefully press under the seam allowances at the shoulder, having the tiniest of overlaps. Then, stitch in the ditch, spreading the seam slightly as you stitch. The stitching is barely perceptible to the naked eye.<br />Then, baste/sew your CB, and install the zipper. <br />I've never cared for the instructions for McCall's. I usually throw them out.<br />The finished product is adorable!!!"<br /><br />Thanks, Mom!KID, MDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16317731987862366557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-296724601340557264.post-49374949337659385872009-06-12T10:39:47.597-04:002009-06-12T10:39:47.597-04:00I have a pattern that is similar, it's become ...I have a pattern that is similar, it's become my go-to dress pattern because I love the round yoke so much! I modified it over time to omit the zipper and close up the back, and just finished the edges of the front and back yoke and added buttons. Oh and I topstitch the yoke, to avoid handstitching (not my thing!) They really are super cute dresses on little girls, well worth all the adjustments :-)Laurenhttp://bananasforbreakfast.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
