How to sew10 steps
  1. Cut and markCut every piece with the grain arrow parallel to the selvedge. Transfer the notches, the dart points and the marks with tailor's chalk or a short snip into the seam allowance.
  2. InterfacingFuse interfacing to the collar, stand, cuffs, waistband, facings and front edges before sewing anything.
  3. DartsSew each dart from the wide end to the point, the last stitches right on the fold. Tie the threads at the point, do not backstitch. Press waist darts towards the centre, bust darts downwards.
  4. PanelsJoin the side panels to the back and the front, matching the notches. Press the seams open over a tailor's ham.
  5. ShouldersSew the shoulder seams, the back eased onto the front. Press open.
  6. Side seamsSew the side seams, matching the notches. Press open.
  7. Collar and facingsSew the facings to the fronts, the under collar to the neckline and the top collar to the facings; turn, roll and press the lapels and collar into shape.
  8. SleevesSew the two sleeve seams, ease the cap with two rows of long stitches and set the sleeves into the armholes, matching the notches. Add a sleeve head and shoulder pads if used.
  9. HemTurn up the hems, catch them by hand and bag the lining in if the garment is lined.
  10. ButtonsMark and sew the buttonholes, then the buttons opposite them.
