How to sew7 steps
  1. Cut and markCut every piece with the grain arrow parallel to the selvedge. Transfer the notches and the marks with tailor's chalk or a short snip into the seam allowance.
  2. Set up for stretchUse a ballpoint or stretch needle and a narrow zigzag or the stretch stitch, or an overlocker. Seams in knit must stretch with the fabric.
  3. ShouldersSew the shoulder seams; stabilise them with clear elastic or a strip of tape so they do not stretch.
  4. NeckbandJoin the band into a ring, fold it in half and sew it to the neckline in quarters, stretching the band slightly.
  5. SleevesSew the sleeves into the open armholes flat, stretching nothing.
  6. Side seamsSew the side seams and the sleeve underarm seams in one line, from the hem to the sleeve end.
  7. HemTurn up and stitch the hems with a twin needle or a coverstitch.
